Forgot about December 2020! Feb 2021 i left out because coastal plain was screwed. Jan 2022 I also forgot. Of these December 2020 should be the best analog
I appreciate this perspective… the vibes here seem to expect a linear continuation of increasing sensible impacts… imo 18” anywhere is like top 10% case requiring robust coastal redevelopment
Last semester I tried to train a predictive model on reanalysis 72 hours prior to major east-coast storms to help me create an indicator that would take in 500 mb data from NA and spit out a value indicating how likely a storm was to occur using ERA5 dataset from ECMWF. I bit off more than I could chew and eventually had to use temperature and wind data only.
Thank you thank you, based on what you just wrote, my locale (West Concord just off rt. 2) may very well be right on the r/s line.
btw as an aside, is it better for cold air retention if upper levels close off in this case?
In english, are you are saying that the antecedent mass might be colder than modeled and that the upper-air structure is an unclear signal for cold air mass retention?
My pumpkins need this rain (and subsequent cool stretch). My jack-o-lanterns are dropping all their female flowers pre-bloom due to heat stress, and seeing as we are coming up on Aug, time is ticking…
Sugar baby watermelons though, doing just fine
