This time of year, the correlations to those indexes and weather are weaker. Wavelengths are shorter, easier to get those cut-offs and coastal bombs despite the teleconnections values. Also index value isn’t as important as rate of change.
back in metro west today, snow cover down to patches / grass in the sun torched areas and 3"-6" of concrete I can still walk on top of in the shadier spots
after 2001, which years had the most snowpack going into April locally? 2007 and 2015 had pack into April but are there any other years up there? Too young to remember how ‘96 was before the April storms so could that be up there?
ingredients aren’t really there for the true big dog eruptions (VEI 6/7) .. maybe they do a VEI6 like once every couple hundred years. anything larger prob has a return rate 10x that .. won’t have to worry about it going “boom” .. altho id love to see it happen. From a scientific perspective, would be very interesting to see the climatic impacts .. and some crazy weather.
must be decent OES contribution under the radar beam, cause its ripping pretty good under 10 dbz echoes .. bordering on heaviest of the day and great snow growth
I don't doubt there is a spike after CAD mixes out, but some of the more meso guidance shows the low lvl cold hanging tough .. maybe even a weenie cold tuck for SE NH / NE MA tmrw midday?
its never easy to accept you wasted a week tracking whether it will ultimately be 34 and rain or 37 and rain lol
what a dumpster fire performance from the models over the last couple days.
GFS has a decent amount of QPF on Monday .. ~.25" - .4" region wide. Could get interesting for those who are looking for ice .. shallow warm layer but not the deepest / coldest layer beneath. Might have to take the ice threat more seriously if we keep trending for bigger impact on Monday. Could be a zone that has a solid glazing going into Monday night and sees a decent chunk of QPF fall as ZR from round 2.
CMC looks like ~1/3" QPF on Monday
