what's your local weather?

[JLA]

It's about 30 F. The snow is perfect for building snow people and forts.

 

[Kraig]

Sunny and 67 F so far, time to go out and do some yard work.

 

[Velocity]

Tomorrow is supposed to be 50ish, then it will plummet to freezing temps and below with an accumulation of 12.9 inches of snow Wednesday and Thursday. Oh joy....

 

[PlainSimpleJoel]

So tonight will be around 30c for most of the night. Already feeling sleepy. Glad when the cool change comes.

 

[Kraig]

Sunny, calm, High 75F/25C, Low 42F/5C

 

[JLA]

37 F it's raining
not snowing

 

[May 20]

After last week's bitter cold, we should hit the mid 50s today. Sunny, so that will help with the melting.

Gradually warming up.

Here is quite the oddity

New Mexico Landspout Tornado in January 2025

I was looking at the SPC's tornado statistics for the first month of 2025, and the reports totaled 20. That's not a lot, but seemed reasonable given that this January turned out to be the coldest in the lower 48 since 1994 per WeatherBell. Then I noticed the mid-afternoon tornado report from...

Top Tornado Wind Speed (in Theory)?

The A/V films I saw in school said 500 mph, but I've never heard of a DOW estimate of more than 318 mph (Greenfield). So, under perfect conditions, how fast can they go?

Chaser web sites good for some binge reading

I wanted to pass along these good chaser web sites that many newcomers may not have heard of, but have some quality material. All have lots of accounts and images to binge-read, and some are still actively being updated. This is by no means a complete list, I'll be adding more. Feel free to...

Raining very heavily. I rarely use "cats and dogs" but this weather this definitely pushing it. 40 degrees Fahrenheit and making all last weeks snows rather large puddles.

 

[Kraig]

Partly cloudy, calm, High 75F/25C, Low 49F/10C. Wearing sandals outside, instead of shoes and socks. I'll be uncovering the bedroom window air conditioner tomorrow.

 

[JLA]

It's unusually windy, raining and it's about 40 F.

 

[Kraig]

Getting ready to go outside, I put on shoes and socks out of habit. I look at the outdoor thermometer on the wall and see it is 68 F in the house but 74 F outside. I'm switching to sandals, it will probably be close to a high of 80 F / 27 C today.

 

[JLA]

It's about 38 F and it's raining. All the rain has mostly done away with all the snow on the ground.

 

[Aragorn]

Rain and wind were bad but intermittent, but the wind was still enough to knock out power in a lot of areas.

 

[May 20]

71 today, lots of sun. The dogs and I took advantage of the lovely weather and took a long walk. What a change from one week ago!

 

[JLA]

Sunny today about 45 F

 

[Fantasy Lover]

It rained a while ago, there was also some hail

 

[JLA]

Sunny about 54 F
