We will need a ark if the GFS is correct.
-
Pretty decent agreement on the ensembles for an inch or so of rain over the broad area of the forum, over the next 7 days. Hope it pans out. We need a lot more than that.
-
Currently 82° at home and 84° in downtown Greenfield. What a day, I may need to cut out of work early.
-
So we just need to string together a few 115s

39 and pouring rain approaching Juneau. -
I think we'll see widespread storms...should see a solid line evolve ahead of the front. Only question is whether damaging wind gust potential is rather isolated or more scattered

40/70 Benchmark replied to Stormchaserchuck1's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
This is in no way 2009-2010...not remotely relevant. You have brought that up a couple of times...it's moot. It was much weaker and the warmth was relegated to the western flank...not to mention we had just passed solar min with a neg QBO. -
90 yesterday. Currently 85. Let's see if we can pull off another one here this afternoon. Tuesday is a lock and Wednesday looks promising for 90 here. A 4 day May heatwave would be sweet. Hoping for a nice banger on Wednesday and then Stein gets his webbed hands into this weekend. Can't see how anyone would route for cool/wet on MDW, including ACATT.

So we have a model temperature forecast for 7 months into the future and it's against an 1880-1920 mean. lol -
sad to lose a local, glad you're staying in the sub

AO and NAO are usually about 0.85 correlated, but they are running apart this year: AO is -1.0 for 2026 so far, NAO is +4.4. March AO was +2 though. It has basically exactly neutral correlation April to May, and March to May [1948-2020]. There is a slight -EPO correlation actually March +AO to May- May is a little cooler temp wise in the CONUS after +AO March, which we have seen at least in the 1st half. -

Thanks, Chuck. Does it say anything about the May AO, That’s projected right now to be +AO. -
Some news on my front if anyone cares lol. Moving to Milwaukee next month. I'll be bringing my magnet to pull some Winter Storms and warm fronts further north.

88 here at 12:20. Not a cloud in the sky

IAD up to 91F. 91/65. An @87storms trademark day. Patiently awaiting the next @wxdude64 trademark day.

Ninja'd was just commenting on the NAM/mlvl lapse rates. The NAM is definitely pretty intriguing. Would actually see a pretty solid line drift south and it occurrs during peak heating
-
The NAM is actually pretty interesting for Wednesday. Would suggest a threat for scattered damaging wind gusts, particularly south of the Pike. The NAM has a large area of steeper mid-level lapse rates overhead, shunting south during the day (hence south of the Pike favored). Not sure I totally buy this though...the NAM seems to have a tendency for having these areas of steeper lapse rates...but a big player in this is whether the airmass over the OV is convectively overturned tomorrow night into Wednesday morning. Shear is pretty decent along with height falls and looks like we get enough heating to drive up the llvl lapse rates
-
Well 12z GFS shows what I was talking about. A big soaking Saturday into Saturday night to help with the drought, but it gets it out of the way for Sunday and would be fine for Sunday afternoon cookouts. Hopefully it'll work out that way.
-
Wednesday's severe threat looks decent to me. Lapse rates are pretty good (6.5c/km) on the NAM and deep layer effective shear around 40 knots. Should be able to get a decent QLCS with some embedded supercells. I think the GFS is mixing out the boundary layer a bit too much.
-
upper 80s at DCA already, temp steadily climbing on a south wind. Ominous for the upcoming summer.
