Cef is the new bdl

San Diego weather for next 7 days .

We've shared dialogue about it all day ... what

While protracted over several days, this event was great to assuage the short term drought concerns. It would be great if we could get another pattern like this, but knocked it down into two or three days, and repeat each month through the summer.

Beautiful day with a noontime high of 70. Lake breeze pushed just far enough inland to drop the temp here to 61 under full sun @5pm. Could stay like this all summer long as far as I'm concerned but 60's are not conducive to productive pepper plants.

Disaster of a winter inbound

Nah 80 to 85.

Figured you did….but then I’m like I think that’s his hast name.….

.18” per Mesonet. Beautiful and 75 in Syracuse, about to go have some margs on a patio with coworkers. Hope yall see some nice weather soon!

Dewpoint check: (not so patiently waiting for the muggies to get out of here) LNS: 67 CXY: 61 SCE: 55 BFD: 52

I think if the snow line actually got down to more habitable locations vs high peaks it would draw some more people in, but yes it is meteorogically interesting.

About 1/4” so far today imby/Columbia. 5.11” since May 20.

4.45” last 7 days

Yeah, it’s cool and all, but verbatim the sensible Weather sucks.

You know it's bad when the Med range thread = Summer Banter thread.

BAF also 84, so CEF seems suspect.

BDL 84, BAF 84, CEF 89?. Seems a bit warm.

Wtf, I planted a handful of hemlocks in my yard about 7yrs ago and they've done very well but today I noticed one has a bad case of the Woolly Adelgid. Where the hell did they come from, hemlocks don't grow native really anywhere near here. Luckily I've caught it early and there are only a handful of trees I've planted so I can treat them pretty easily. But still, it's baffling where the heck they came from.

I am surprised there is not more talk about the weekend event. You know how rare these kind of events are in May? And as I said, omega blocks are how you do it this time of year. People like CoastalWx seem to fail to appreciate atypical/rare wx events since it ruins great outdoor weather or the like! In other words, as one example, "if it's not the cold season, I don't want snow!" Or more precisely, "if it's not IMBY, I don't care!" LOL. Grousing all the time seems to be SOP. GFS and RRFS explicitly show accums in nrn NH/NW 4-8" at the higher elevations. Look at the 850 temps valid 12z Sat. That's *cold* and colder than previous runs (as low as -4 C). The 500 low passes directly over the area for max dynamic cooling. Not something to just ignore. Also, and this is huge this time of year, the heaviest precip occurs during the overnight late Fri-early Sat. Every degree counts this time of year for snow. We are talking about say a 0.5 F deg difference in avg temp of the lowest 2000 ft here could mean just a mix of rain/snow or heavy snow w/ rapid accumulation. So being at night given the strong sun angle this time of year (a factor even when thick clouds are present) matters a lot. And given how borderline the temps are, this often results in a very fickle precip type situation. When the precip gets heavier, it goes to all snow, and it lightens up, and goes back to rain. It will be something that needs to be watched very closely in real-time. The "surprise" factor is high here. And you don't need an event like May 9-10, 1977 for the fun 'n games. Look at May 18, 2002. Omega block was much farther N and the 500 cut off center was no where near NEUS. We are also talking later than any other snow event here in the last 60 years, later than 1967, 1977, and 2002.

I need this modeled squall line moving SE early evening to deliver… .

Soup du jour out there. My office's AC has been cranking all day. Even more than last week.

I hope not but some of the model models hint at it for a day or two anyways.

Just realized I (and most of VA along and south of I-64) under a severe thunderstorm watch until 9 pm.

Scott likes the June Nor'easter the GFS has early next week! Wheel of MISFORTUNE at 500 mb!

Oh yeah I drive by there every day that I go to work at my old place of employment. Rain is fizzling out again. There seems to be some sort of force field as precip crosses over the Potomac. Maybe this evening we will get something on that final round.
