Typical Israeli playbook: Negotiations are not to our liking. Proceed with the precoordinated and agreed upon plan. Israel says Rafah operations will go ahead as Hamas deal remains ‘far’ from meeting its demands https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/06/middleeast/hamas-agrees-ceasefire-proposal-israel-gaza-latam-intl/index.html Itamar Ben Gvir, Israel’s national security minister, said Netanyahu had “promised that Israel would enter Rafah, assured that the war would not end, and pledged that there would be no reckless deal.”

I’ve always wanted to see Alpha Centauri as well. I’ll get to see it when I go to Aruba later this month. The reason why it’s so bright is because it’s 2 stars right next to each other. The other being named Rigel Kentaurus.

I'm about 0.7" below normal for the year with 15.3" so far. So much better than last year when I had accumulated 10" of precip from Jan through the first week of May and was almost 6" below normal.

Wow Alpha Centauri and Crux are insanely vivid & beautiful stars & constellations that I don’t normally get to see.

The reports out of Barnsdall do not seem good.

Lmao why is it named Caseoh Wx?

June 7 is Pat Sajak's last day. No MNF that day.

CMC is notably cooler days 8-10. Let's see if Euro moves that direction.

Nice day today, but still a bit cool.

Tell that to the NWS. They use 30 year periods for climo norms.

110mph velocity core moving into Moore OK.

Fixed that for you

I would think it would be pretty immediately apparent if a city the size of Bartlesville had "Moore 2013" damage. Sounds like a bit of hyperbole.

no, 10 would be though, thats how norms are factored and revised

So far the pics I’ve seen from Bartlesville aren’t that crazy. Hope it wasn’t too bad.

Talked to my ex-wife. Her parents live in Bville and I was worried the kids were up there. They are safe. Her parents live in NE Bartlesville and are ok.

I hope this isn’t true.

Yikes. Am I reading that right as a direct hit on Bartlesville based on the big ball of debris around there?

Just saw a was spotted in Oklahoma. If @Blizzard777 is still down there storm chasing I hope he’s safe!

Oh

Violent tornado parameter is maxed.

I hope that tornado didn’t hit Bville.

So for this Friday, based on models, the 850 temps appear to be around a +16. This is the lowest I'd like to see for a 90F+ in Portland (+15 can be acceptable if there is ample downslope winds. Temperature potential is 89 given a 1020 mb pressure (what said models are forecasting). However, downslope winds are expected which may make the true temperature potential higher. I'm still going to stick with 89 for now, though the true potential is at 92-94 (depending on wind speed) if 850s don't change. May 28th, 1983 stayed below temperature potential (107F), and June 2021 at Salem already was cooling down at the highest 850s at sounding time, though the day before was a +0.2F above potential. If I had to guess, the 30.4C 850s weren't the highest at sounding time compared to earlier that day.
