Windy with a temp down to 53 degrees already.

Of course you are! Nice NW breeze and dryer air as arrived. I ended up with 1.2 inches of rain.

Just had an s tier thunder crack Even the cold shit pattern delivering lapse rate bangers

Perfect spring day. No notes.

Yep. 1972 was a good example of a -PDO super El Niño. The -PDO is going to have no limiting effect on this developing super El Niño thanks to the extreme ++PMM that’s in place. In fact, it’s not only helping to kill the trades, enhancing the warming, it’s also working to support the development of an east-based/EP event, as per the research I’ve already shared in this thread a couple of pages ago, explaining how a +PMM favors east-based/EP El Niños

Yea I can still workout in wind pants. I’d like it to be warmer, but the sunshine today is top shelf.

This weather is a Bob Ross painting.

Yes, the low humidity has been fantastic for the lawn. No brown patch or fungus issues with temps and humidity like this.

It’s perfect out there right now!

Haha I’ll blame something. Southern wake got over 1.5” radar estimate. This is still our biggest rain in forever

I'm ready for shorts weather. My hoodies and sweatpants are getting worn out.

More patchy frost tonight over the northern valley into SW VA. This is getting old fast(covering up stuff)! These temps have been steadily going in reverse since those mid-80s summertime, bluebird days a few weeks ago! 57F at TRI right now. Feels like February.

Haven't gotten into permethrin yet, just vigilance once I'm back inside. Worked all but once; in November 2022 one found a hiding place in the short hairs and had a drink. It was quickly dispatched but only after infecting me with anaplasmosis, which messed with my balance and eyesight along with making me feel awful. Doxy to the rescue. 10 AM thru 12:30 was spent on the woodlot, with its abundant horizontal fir (thanks to Dec 18, 2023), also wandered thru the cedar swamp, a cool area in both senses. Only found one tick so far, likely a couple will turn up to be squashed. Great day to be in the woods, except for the black flies. They're still only checking the menu, but also checking out eyes and ear canals.

Had some heavy rains form overnight as a line came through. Walking out to the chilly air felt great!

Blame the gravity waves.

0.48" for the day here. A nice surprise, as was expecting a few tenths at best.

Given how the following month went in pumping all of that WWV eastward and the sheer amount of momentum transfer into the thermocline, I will make the following statement: Never short sell synoptically obvious events.

It's a nice theory, but there's reason to believe cooling caused by tropical volcanic eruptions actually help weaken trades over the WPac: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/10/171003111101.htm So it's debatable whether that Nino even happens in the first place, or if it does, to that degree.

How come wrap-around snows never work out like that??

Another underperformer in Raleigh, though we’re at 0.68” including yesterday’s shower. Good rain but was pretty certain we’d get at least an inch given forecasts and models. MTD 0.82” which equals our entire month of April rainfall here. It’s still raining a little so these are not final totals

WB 12Z EURO for late Sunday/Monday.

It has barely rained in those areas.
