False, spring is the best. It makes me want to just run around outside like...

The strom is coming up my way tomorrow night. It was help wash all the sand off the side roads. So its welcome.

Thurmond? :D It’s definitely washing the pollen away, but the flooding, hail, and likely tornadoes aren’t really worth it to me. Funny how spring is a time of rebirth, but for a big swath of us, it’s also a lot of death, destruction, allergies, bugs, and heat.

The storm is crossing into Ontario.

My Galaxie (with its leaky door seals and missing trunk seal) will have to be outside part of today, and a leak in the roof of my house will be impossible to fix today as well. BOO. HISS.

Spring does get active, but it’s pretty much year round down here my friend. Had an EF-3 pass about a mile from my house back in January and an EF-4 go right through the city in February 2013. That one ended up on that Real Time Tornado show on the weather channel.

I’m currently in Atlanta for work. I was hoping for sunny and warm, but rainy and warm is still better than what I had in Michigan.
I’m not really into tornadoey and warm, though.

When it passed through my neck of the woods we got up to about 8' inches or rain in less than 24 hours, it was crazy. Tons of road flooding around my house (Yay, living on a hill!) luckily the tornado damage in my part of the state was limited to stores and trees. All y’all stay safe, you’re going to get really wet.

My 01 Passat isn’t as watertight as it used to be, so I had to make room in the garage. But I was mainly concerned about hail, which thankfully never materialized. Gotta love driving an old car where a few broken windows or dents mean it’s totaled.

The tracking has gotten really good in the past few years, I’m impressed. But yeah, it’s year round. April just tends to be the worst, on average.

Yeah it has. Warnings have gotten a lot better and more precise. April-May are definitely the main two months of the year though for sure.

Today was also very odd because almost all of our spring storm systems move predictably from TX/LA towards the Northeast, so you can assess the damage along the way. Today was a complete proliferation from nothing, which is only a handful of times I’ve ever seen that. The NWS was saying how rare it was, that it’s something they see almost exclusively in OK/KS/NE where severe storms materialized from clear skies in just a few hours.

Indeed. You have a cold front moving through where I live (MS) right now heading east, then an area of high pressure and storms moving northeast over in GA/SC. That makes this pocket between those two areas conducive for development of severe weather since it creates an opportunity for the atmosphere to essentially reset itself and become ripe for development.
