From around May 15 until Sept 20 you could take that shot and storm chase daily from my back yard ... sea breeze front collision zone ... :eek:

... awesome pics, BTW!
 
Pretty gusty in these storms.

Looks like the core is going to come really close to me. I will report back.

Edit: Meh, unimpressive. A few gusts and some decent rain, but that’s about it. The little bitty shower we had earlier was way windier.

These last two PMs in my area were awesome for outdoor activities with low 80s for highs and dewpoints in the 40s to low 50s along with nice breezes. It doesn’t get much better than that in late April! Hopefully we’ll sneak in some more days like this before summer.

Further to the above, today is shaping up to be another still pretty comfy day with only a few degrees warmer but with dewpoints staying well down in the 50s it appears. Also, next weekend may be similarly pleasant to the current one. But with the good comes some bad as watering will be needed again by then.
 
Looks like the high today was an impressive 87*F.

That sounds nice compared to the cold rain and temps in the 40s we got today in Detroit.
 
Yeah HRRR really had a hard time with these cells. It wants to keep it more discrete though, according to the 4z HRRR. E. Oklahoma sucks to chase in, but that could put down one or two decent ones.

What is the feature that runs from SW Mexico to Big Bend to Wichita Falls and up through the N. Border of OK?
 
The GFS is putting mid 90s over alabama next monday ?. Don't know what the records are but i would suspect we'd be close to it. Screenshot_20190430-115255_Samsung Internet.jpg
 
As warm as the weather has been, it hasn't been as extreme or impressive as many would think. NC has the biggest departures of +2 to +4 from average.

Same goes for the areas further north that have been several bouts of snow this past April, where the worst departures are only between -2 to -4 from average in Northern MI / WI / MN.

I saw this on Twitter and everybody was making a fuss over it. The angle is pretty cool, as well as the resolution. But tbh, I like to see trees coming up or things blowing up in my tornado vids!

But look at those departures in the Mid Atlantic. I do believe I see a red dot over Delaware which would indicate +6 to 8.

True, but it's relative to average.

If their average highs are still in the 60s, then of course temps in the 70s and 80s will seem more impressive from a departure standpoint.

Not so much for our region.
