finally some classic spring weather this week/ and summer conditions.

[weatherfan2012]

looks to be the first real warmth of this spring with 80s to close out the week hope everyone in the east and middle Alantic gets out and enjoy it.

[Phil]

I am curious how the trees are doing over there as I saw some pics showing some trees up in Maine not even fully leafed.

Still the early stages here, very late. The storm-tested, ancient tulip trees are ahead of the small trees by a big margin.

Should top out in the low-mid 70s up here. Better than highs in the 40s/50s, as we've had all spring this far

Deciduous. Initial leaf bud to initial leaf. New Moon to First Quarter.

 

— Full leaf by Full moon.  

 

.. "Deciduous Leafing", the simplest "Plant", "Phenological" ..... trick. 

 

Tree "flowering" a bit more difficult. You have to also take into account—more than basic "phase"—the moon's relative distance from the earth. — Essentially, and with focusing on either New moon, or Full, .. which occurs nearest to "Perigee", or the earth's nearest point to the planet where considering its main orbit's slight but certainly significant, general eccentricity.

 

.... Main flowers pretty much the same, but much more apt to set flowers, ready for "New" moon. 

 

.. Vegetable flowers, same basic idea. / .. Fruiting vegetables, full (and ripe.) "fruit", by Full Moon.

 

(Bzzzzzzz.)

 

.. Should you decide to take this assignment "Mr. Phelps", ....

felt like early june today first time this year we got A C running.did it hit the 90s mid 80s but had that early summer humidity type feel today.

[Phil]

Felt the humidity up here too. Heat index was over 90F.

 

Fortunately we had plenty of thunderstorm activity, with one of them dumping golfball sized hail in the midst of a 58mph wind gust.

[weatherfan2012]

yeah there were some big storms yesterday west and south of 95.the cooling bay effect with the east wind killed the storms before they reached the 95 line.which tends to happen this time of year with sharp boundary line cutoff.today most of the reagion stayed in the cool marine air.looks like another big rain event Thursday night and firday is setting up.

[Phil]

Another strong thunderstorm has been raking my area for 3hrs now. Frequent CTG lightning and 40-50mph winds have continued on and on..great start to the severe season

 

We've already had 13" of rain over the past 4 weeks, 2.7" today so far.

[weatherfan2012]

the line is moving mostly south to north so training of thunderstorms is likey.

[Phil]

Gorgeous weather today. Cool, dry west winds took dewpoints down into the 30s and broke up the cloud deck. Fell below freezing early in the morning with a thick frost..

[weatherfan2012]

agreed phil not much left to say but beautiful as good as it gets for mid late may.

[Phil]

Both of us could possibly see some big storms today. I'll be watching!

[weatherfan2012]

big cluster of storms effecting regions south of Baltimore and dc this morning.

[weatherfan2012]

another round of big thunderstorms hammered parts of the reagion va-new york with supercells that track southeast today lots of hail reports with the storms.there were some tornado warnings not sure if any conferm reports were reported just radar detected rotation.

[Phil]

I got whiffed this time.

[weatherfan2012]

same here they all went around my location

[Phil]

More big storms today. Got some video that I'll post later.

[Phil]

10hrs straight now, strong N winds at the moment with small hail and gorgeous lightning

 

I've officially recorded 14 gusts over 50mph today.

[richard mann]

More big storms today. Got some video that I'll post later.

Just wondering, is it possible to upload (imbed) videos via wireless device? I've been in the Eastern US forum here trying to upload some severe storm footage I shot today but can't seem to do it.

 

I don't know about more directly, .. Or "via wireless" more specifically (More regarding the "wireless" idea further below, at the bottom of this post.), ...

 

.. but you can most likely upload whatever to "YouTube", and post the url generated by them of what you have there, here. 

 

— The italicized elements here below are direct from "YouTube". Those not are my own comments further.

 

Don’t have a YouTube account? If you have a Google account, your YouTube account will be ready to go. If you don’t have a Google account, signing up for one is easy. Just click here.

 

.. Once you've created and signed in to an account, with clicking on "Upload", included on most pages your come to, you'll be routed to this basic interface following. -  basic video upload interface. .. This isn't the actual interface. Just a screenshot of it.

 

More than this, you may have to go through a few further general clue-in ideas. It's been a while since I set up my own access to uploading things. So can't say for sure. But I've included this following in the case that you do.

 

If you'd like to upload your own videos... you can create a Channel.

 

".. via Wireless", more specifically.? .. (?) Don't know why this idea would be any different than non-wireless. Your question is somewhat unclear.  But in fact in line with what I've suggested here above more, I'd say, fish around at some different main "YouTube" help pages, and you can probably find and answer to the question more specific that you have in mind. 

 

Back to your main inputs here. - http://theweatherforums.com/index.php?/topic/516-finally-some-classic-spring-weather-this-week/?p=28009

could be more big storms tommore night into Thursday morning models are suggesting a pretty potent line could be coming across the region could be a long tracker have to see how this plays out tommore.the data has speeded things up a bit from yesterday.

[Phil]

Was very humid today with pop-up storms about.

 

I'm in the SPC's slight risk for tomorrow night, so hopefully I get some action.

[Phil]

Kind of meh..thunder/rain/breezy..nothing more as of yet..

[weatherfan2012]

yeah the problem was

the front that went through tuesday night brought dryer air we only had dew points in the 50s the dynamics stayed mostly in Ohio and the mid west and into Virginia. so we got sort of got screwed this go around but not complaining its been a good thunderstorm season so far and I suspect this maybe an active summer thunderstorm wise with quite a few northwest flow event aloft thunderstorm patterns.

[Phil]

Hopefully as we continue to heat up over the next 6-7 weeks we'll see steeper ML lapse rates and higher MLCAPE, which is usually a problem during the early summer.

 

Usually the big stuff gets going here in late June or July.

[Phil]

It's also been a fairly cool summer thus far. No heat to speak of yet.

[Phil]

Getting hit pretty good.. Nice winds, sleet-sized hail, plenty of lightning

[Phil]

Had my first Tornado Warning of the year today! Very nice storm.

[richard mann]

.. Leave it to those SSTs. 

 

Really "hot" here where I am.

[Phil]

Could be a big day for weatherfan2012 Wednesday..he's approaching 4000 CAPE

 

That's something OK/TX sees during the heart of severe season..not as common up here. I'm at 1500 CAPE..not bad, but shear is weak for now.

[weatherfan2012]

[weatherfan2012]

[weatherfan2012]

[weatherfan2012]

big complex of thunderstorms in pa tonight any body north of the mdl better prepare for heavey rains strong winds and dangerous lighting.severe thunderstorm warnings all over northern centerl pa.

[Phil]

It was sizzly today for sure. We were capped, though. Your heat index should surpass 105 degrees tomorrow.

[weatherfan2012]

yeah we had a strong capp in place which kelp storms from forming those pa got hit pretty good last night from the stuff that formed in the great lakes and drop south.today looks like the last of this round of heat as a front comes across the region with increase storm coverage tonight and tomorrow.

[weatherfan2012]

cap is broken big thunderstorms and light show across the reagion all this just in the past hafe an hour to an hour.the lighting is inshine with these tonight.more storms fireing west of Baltimore well a head of the main line in pa going to be a loud night for some people.

One of the most amazing lightning shows I've ever seen tonight. Blessed to have experienced it.

[weatherfan2012]
