2025 - How's the Weather Where You Are?

Sunny, windy, bone dry.
It has arrived. Thunder while we were in the hot tub. By the time we hauled about 20 feet hail was over golf ball size. Mother Nature took a deep breath and you can see how sheets of water are moving.
So much for spring fertilizer to let it wash in.
Five minutes max:)
Bright sunshine after five minutes of toad strangler

This drone footage of the 05-16-25 super cell tornado outbreak that rolled over Missouri then flattened London, KY is really tough to watch. Many people lost their lives.

The NWS hasn’t graded the tornado damage yet, but this has to have been an EF-4.



Its path was a few hours west of me and it traveled NE, striking Missouri and a good part of lower Kentucky.

The air where I live that night was just about unbearable. It was in the mid 70s degrees with the humidity of 87% and a dewpoint of 69°. It didn’t take a Rhodes Scholar to figure out something was gonna happen somewhere. Thankfully, all of that missed my area, but we’ve got another round headed at us on Tuesday this coming week.
 
We had three rainy days last week with unseasonably high temperatures reaching 84 a couple of days. It was also windy a couple of those days. Today is quite windy and 74 degrees. More wind all week and rain for three days starting Wednesday, when the temperatures will drop to the high 50s then move up to the mid 60s by the weekend.
 
It's up and down around here ...this time of year - Summer keeps threatening to come early. Currently 71 F... 22 C ... but it will not be long before I am melting!melting.jpg
 
As expected, a major storm came through our area this evening. There were a number of tornado warnings, etc. We just had about an hour of extremely heavy rain. However, our oldest daughter and Son-in-law, about 30 miles away, got hit pretty hard. We just spoke to them, and their sun porch and lawn mower shed got major damage, and the highway to their place is shut down with fallen trees. The son-in-law and all their neighbors are going out with chainsaws and tractors, etc., to try to clear the road.
We got lucky, and just had a momentary power outage which shut down the TV., computer and all the clocks.....thank God!
 
I won’t use the words I really want to, so I’ll just say the weather is awful. Seems to be the same across the Northern US and Canada — COLD, COLD, than more COLD. High of only 46(8) today with rain. No relief in sight.

I did some research to find out what was going on. It’s that darn “Polar Vortex.” The lower edge is weaker than normal, so it isn’t keeping the colder air where it should be this time of year.

Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning…
