Pattern April Thread

Just curious, what did your tempest say your high was yesterday? That's awesome you got one, they are great. My low was only 41F.
We topped out at 75.9 and I registered a 15 mph wind gust. Our new property is pretty darn steep so I split the difference and put the station halfway down the hill. We are surrounded by a lot of pasture so I'm expecting some serious wind now.
 
Wednesday - Friday will be a test to see if DFW can continue its 70*F+ streak.

Forecasts highs right now are 71*F Wednesday, and 69*F Thursday/Friday.

If we can survive these 3 days without breaking the streak, it should continue into at least mid-next week.
 
Seriously though, when was the last time the Atlanta area (and N GA for that matter) was impacted by a *significant* tornado outbreak? Was it really 4/27/11? And in my head the only other time before that was 3/14/08?

There was one last year. Newnan was hit with an EF3. That's significant.

Wasn't the Newnan tornado an EF4?

But yeah, that was the most significant tornado (by far) to impact Metro Atlanta in recent history, and one of the strongest tornadoes ever to impact Metro Atlanta.

Yes, you're right. It was EF4. In my mind, and because that thing was headed straight for me, It was the worst storm since 4/27/2011.
 
Friday looks interesting Wbzs around 850mb, plenty of moisture above the freezing layer, steep lapse rates, a couple of impulses embedded in the cyclonic flow and a "warm" sfc layer in the low 60s should set off a decent coverage of showers with a rumble of thunder or 2. Any of the sustained showers/updraft will have the potential for small hail a few of which might be strong enough to produce enough hail to cover the ground.fv3-hires_ref_frzn_seus_58.pngnam3km_ref_frzn_seus_60 (1).png

Going to be close to another freeze across parts of the area Sunday and Monday mornings. The coldest I've seen in the ensembles I've seen around here is 35/36. Really hopeful that we can keep enough clouds and wind in play so that we can hover just above freezing and keep frost away but Monday morning is concerning. Unfortunately we may have another frost/ freeze threat in about 11/12 days
 
Today had a Midnight high of 77*F or 78*F, so the question now is willl DFW manage to achieve 70*F tomorrow and Friday to continue its 70*F+ streak.

That's what the forecast calls for now (highs of exactly 70*F), so we'll see...
 
Fook severe, multiple and multiple rounds for SC even tho the environment is compared to a used condom but it just keeps finding a way to storm there, weakens in WNC where there’s left over cape but picks up in central SC where it’s used and shriveled and out of lube, I call BSCEA62E5E-930D-4648-91A7-D2A718949C09.png32DB70E0-69E2-41C2-9283-E0318C7B7CCA.png

Blame Yesterday's system for veering the flow west and mixing slightly. If we had a free warm sector and southerly flow today might be different
 
Mid summer to some. You know if we got a day like this in JJAS with a random front everyone would be talking about how glorious it is. Not directed at you @superjames1992 just saying
Haha, you're not wrong. In the same vein, a bright, sunny 60-degree day in January feels amazing, whereas when it's 60 in May I'm freezing. ☃️
 
Managed a daytime high of 74*F at DFW, a couple degrees above forecast.

Leaf out is about 65% complete.

Can we for once just kill the pv dead in late feb/early March and not have to do this ----
My brother and I were just discussing the avian bird flu outbreak in our state and how we need hot weather to help kill it off, these extended cool spells obviously do not help.
 
I see clueless nickbyB laughing emoji there but go laugh at the poultry farms that just had exterminate their poultry flocks (their livelihood) due to the outbreak. Hot weather certainly has shortened the extent of any bird flu in the past, it does not thrive in that environment.

They are looking at the late month forecast with the potential for another record late freeze. You dont understand how fragile the modern world is at all. Our food supply is already under immense strain with the war and midwest drought... not too mention we have to provide a lot more for the world now ... all under the immense pressure of inflation and supply chain issues.
