@NickCnf Winds should ease as the evening goes on at least.

Anyone ever seen interstate-induced clouds before? Low level CU developed perfectly along major interstates around Houston this morning. Kind of shocking to see such perfectly lined up clouds. #txwx

Should see a warm-up / clearing rest of this week: #nswx

@abitofstrange @EddieSheerr Were there any mounds of snow that were scraped into piles the other day that lasted till today June 1?

[Chris Fogarty, PhD @Cyclone_Fogarty]

@abitofstrange @EddieSheerr Great pics of this rare event. I was looking for some photos showing how the foliage was already well-along . This ties with 1941 for latest accumulating snow in Sydney . There were 7 cm on May 29 1941.

@terrykhoyt1 Observations for comparison:

Bit of a temperature gradient forecast across Nova Scotia Wednesday afternoon 😯 #nswx

[Chris Fogarty, PhD @Cyclone_Fogarty]

@GrayMarker99 Cool. Did it generate any large waves that caused problems at the shore?

[Chris Fogarty, PhD @Cyclone_Fogarty]

@rcbstormpost Fitting for the May 2-4 weekend!

[Chris Fogarty, PhD @Cyclone_Fogarty]

A mixture of 'gravity waves' (cloud pattern) at various altitudes. These are akin to ripples in the sand at the beach. Different levels in the atmosphere where the temperature increases with height often give rise to these. #nswx #pewx

[Chris Fogarty, PhD @Cyclone_Fogarty]

Some low temps last night. #nswx #pewx

[Chris Fogarty, PhD @Cyclone_Fogarty]

Temp analysis as of ~230 pm #nswx

[Chris Fogarty, PhD @Cyclone_Fogarty]

Turns out that the 22C contour on that zoomed map is roughly where the 28C contour is now (2 pm). So the sea effect is not very prominent (less prominent than the model predicted)

[Chris Fogarty, PhD @Cyclone_Fogarty]

Forecast temperatures later this afternoon #nswx #pewx

[Chris Fogarty, PhD @Cyclone_Fogarty]

Bit of a gradient in temps 'round here today! #nswx

#MountStHelens May 18, 1980, 8:32 AM. A colossal landslide. Magma & hot fluids explode, surge outward like a hot hurricane. Column rises, ash falls for miles. Snowpack melts, mudflows converge, lahars move downvalley. A 9-hr eruption. Everything is changed.

@BadWeatherKyle Some heavy wind damage in Winnipeg too

[Chris Fogarty, PhD @Cyclone_Fogarty]

@EddieSheerr Yikes! Can tell by the trees in the background the wind direction and high speed

☀️ Today in Utqiagvik (the northernmost city in the United States), the sun rose above the horizon at 2:57 AM and won’t set again for 84 straight days or until August 2nd! Here's a look at a timelapse showing the sunset and sunrise this morning. #akwx

Satellite animation of today's weather system departing the region followed by upper-level cloud associated with the jet stream accompanied by multiple interesting cloud bands likely producing turbulence for aircraft.
