Wow! I had a big heavy branch to pick up when I got home from work today too. It clipped a piece of siding on the shed. Just glad it missed the Kubota though. Whew!

CVG reached 72, DAY 69 and CMH 70 today.

After today, buh bye Spring for 2 or 3 days.

Good Evening I hope for everyone. I am just missing these storms barely. I could see the lightning to the north and of course was outside and no rotation just quick southwest to northeast winds and clouds moving quickly. Barely any rain as well

Off Topic, but The upper low is going to pass Wed night into Thurs morning. Perfect timing (meaning time of day since it is April) for snow. I am liking the idea of a car topper / roof duster more and more. Until then once the front passes tonight, we get a slap in the face tomorrow with a raw, rainy, drizzly, windy cloudy kind of day. Temps in the 40s, wind chills in the 30s. Even colder Thurs with snow showers and rain showers too. Finally, the 40s Fri and recovery into the 50s by Sat, 60ish by Sunday.

No TOR warnings are in effect as of this post thankfully. Yeah, you guys were right. That second round helped to keep things more "tame" then what otherwise could have been. We would have had a huge outbreak if that second round did not occur before I left work. That saved us.

My temp went from 73 down to 64 right now. Looks like the cold front is just east of KIND now.

100p/c agree and yes we had plenty of rotation well up in the atmosphere but was unable for the most part to get those winds near the surface or tree line. I was watching the top of the trees and all blowing in one direction so no rotation made it there. The second wave this morning helped so much in keeping it rather tame if that is what you want to call it. One thing I could feel though was the humid air and starting feeling that around 530pm and still can tell its around but within the next few hours that should subside as well.
