CAPE

High of 67 and now 55. Stayed in the NE flow all day here.

After a cloudy and cool morning, its turned into a really nice afternoon here. Sunny and breezy, temp is 66

Perhaps when JH gets healthy and is back on the roster, JJ can play one of those outfield positions. Been pretty inconsistent(mostly awful) so far.

Tongue in cheek. That said he is playing well and can play multiple positions, so they will find ways to get him in the lineup if he keeps hitting like that.

Jeremiah Jackson > Jackson Holliday

The defense is the most concerning to me, but they have enough pieces to figure it out. Not too worried about the hitting at this juncture, and pitching consistency should come with time, esp with guys like Bradish coming off injury. You can see he still has the stuff, but not the control he wants yet. Its a marathon. And so far, all teams in the division have issues.

Ravens new threads are pretty sick. Love all the subtle details, and the 4 different versions. 'Baltimore' appears on road jerseys. And apparently they can be mixed and matched. 3 different helmets, with the standard in the middle

This is going to be a dry frontal passage for the most part in our region. Meager rainfall that won't even put a ding dent in the prolonged dryness. The stronger lift is going to be northwest of us as modeled. At least we get a refreshing chilly day on Monday, with maybe some frost by Tuesday morning.

H5 recap for the cold wintry period, part of which ended up dry after the glacier storm but also produced the storm in late Feb that was a monster for MA and NE coastal areas. Compare to the previous winter that also produced multiple snowstorms. Pretty similar look, and both produced above avg snow here and for much of the coastal plain. 2017, 18, and 22 have the same general look for the periods that produced significant snow. In recent winters Ninas have been predominant and generally the better snow producers for eastern parts of our region, with a more poleward Aleutian ridge(favorable EPO/WPO) and neutral to +PNA delivering the cold, with some decent/timely NA blocking influencing storm tracks a bit further south and east. It will be interesting to see what happens with the developing Nino for the upcoming winter. Specifics on strength/configuration unknown at this point, but in general would expect winter to be milder with increased chances for above avg snow (wrt climo) to be further inland.

The WPC QPF for the next 7 days looks wholly unimpressive.

High of 87 At least there was a strong breeze

The white clover/grass seed mixture I planted last Fall is looking good(as long as I keep watering it). Hopefully this combo will survive the torching mid-late Summer period. We need a new lawn/garden thread. Someone get it going!

High of 84 with upper 50s DP. Not bad but would rather have 70/48 this time of year.
