Agree. A decent season this storm would have found a way to produce 4-8” of snow. Didn’t miss by much which is more frustrating.

Just read Joe D'Aleo 3 day e was earchband posts on El Nino, LA Nina, PDO and AMO along with the sum and geomagnetic affects of our wearher. So very interesting an dome point's to the solar cycles and climate cycles which are very interesting and it is scientific factuAL information instead theoretical conjure we get shoved.
We are entering a quadruple feta cycle of the Sun, Geomagnetic, Gravitational and Oceanic Cycle. Very interesting.

The KMOB (Mobile AL) radar has been down since 4:05 CDT. Similarly to KTLH, the radar goes down far too often, and it usually occurs during significant weather events. Certainty a lack of resiliency. In this case, there are numerous TOR's and other severe wx that is occurring with limited visibility now. Phased array can't come soon enough (->2026).

Looking at the CONUS map I see as a final insult that 3 to 5 inches of snow will on some of the north central states,LOL

Chicago
Winter Storm Warning. 3 to 8 inches of snow.
Our area. Breezy chilly and partly cloudy, with a chance of Daniel Jones (Giants #6 draft pick. WHY at #6). Pathetic.

NWS Mount Holly's local radar at Fort Dix (KDIX) has been down since 9 p.m. last night. It has, for whatever reason, been very unreliable the last couple weeks. I know it got hit by lightning and damaged last September, but it worked pretty consistently this winter so not sure what the deal is now.

It's a bit frustrating because it is the most centrally located radar for NJ and to get a view of what's coming and going while it's down you have to piece together the radars from Delaware, Binghamton and Long Island (KDOX, KBGM, and KOKX) and maybe State College (KCCX). In the meantime I guess you can just rely on the regional radar aggregates.

We in bad shape over here-what with no May observations thread. As for banter, the moss in my grass tells me local rainfall has increased. I remember hot days last year this time. Why is it so cold? I am sleeping with three blankers on.

LOl Greybeard! Saw Star Wars second day it was out in 1977.Wish I still had that button the theatre gave out "May the force be with you".

Had a bad feeling about the Derby when my favorite pick Omaha Beach was scratched.My Buddies and I do imaginary bets and my pick this year Game Winner came in 5th.They disqualified the winner for a bump.That was out of left field but those are the rules.

LOL on cinco de booze-o.

Doc, if we kept half of the toys,comics, baseball cards etc. that we had as kids, we'd be rich men today lol.

Derby ended with a bad call imo. Country House wasn't interfered with as far as I could see. Maximum Security was definitely the best horse in the race, pretty much had it wire to wire.

Greybeard, I could tell you stories of lost treasures you mention but I would make myself sick,LOL.

Agree 100% on Maximum Security.When a horse runs wire to wire it's a winner.A rare and beautiful sight in a horse race.Just read 9 million was bet on the horse.Holy crow, bookies buying new cars for their wives,LOL.

Follow-up to this. Just posted this afternoon on the NWS Mt. Holly Twitter feed:

KDIX UPDATE: The radar remains down due to a significant equipment failure. Return to service is unknown at this time. We hope to have another update by the end of the week.

Is it me? I can't access the weather.gov site. I can get to it but the moment I put in a zip code or click on a map location, it spins to a bad gateway message.

I read that April usually is about 38% of the month's days as rainy but it was something like 56.5%. May is nearing the half-way mark of the month and it just seems rainier this month, too. I missed summer forecasts; I guess it will be rainy for the summer? Hotter?

I know very little about seasonal long range forecasting so take this with a grain of salt, but I thought I heard it will not be particularly hot around here this summer.

I need a little help from the collective mind of NJS. My roof replacement keeps getting postponed because of rain, and if they can't start this week my Central Air install gets postponed until late summer (GRRRRRRR)!

The stopper for the roof right now is Friday's rain chance, and that's looking like PM t-storms. WU has me at 40-50% of rain, NWS has me at 60%.

Can anyone tell me their thoughts about what that threat looks like as far as severity and event duration?

Yes, it makes me worry too. He'll certainly make the call but we've been working closely on watching the weather since he came to find I was a weather geek. He's a weather watcher and he's got AccuWeather pro, so I trust him to make a good decision, I'm just trying to get a better idea of what Friday's weather will look like from the good minds here.

NWS saying 60% chance for rain friday.Saturday looks really good and only 40% chance on Monday.Can your guy start on Saturday?

Having trouble wrapping my mind about the central air people not being able to start until late summer?Huh?????

LOL! Thanks Doc! No detail is missed by you. It's complicated. They actually did our boiler and first floor mini splits in the fall, but we had to delay them working in the attic while we waited for the roof to be done, which keeps getting pushed along because of all the rain. Now we've pushed it so far we're bumping into the high season and they're booked up with other jobs.

But it does look like the rain chances Friday and Monday/Tuesday have dropped, so we'll see how it goes.

Thanks all!
