Yup had entrainment and a cold pool while us in the valley got double teamed with cold pool and outflow flowing in from north and south. Future reminder is that if storms fire on both sides of the elevator train north and south of me to not expect much it's physics usually wins in the situations with cold air draining in undercutting all of our instability Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

.02". This area continues it's struggles when lots of others cash in. It's funny looking at 60 month maps and seeing a bullseye Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

Haha, it might be because people are still below the 40th percentile for ytd rainfall. Honestly unless we get area wide coverage of 25" from now till end of August I'd expect this map will be there the entire summer. Add in the fact that many have not had an above normal season in 3-4 years I'd be more worried if the map showed nothing. Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

Yum. I just made a beignet rum in our rotovap Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

Tomorrow is apparently euro upgrade day and this new upgrade supposedly treats the GFS like used toilet paper. Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

Hoping for a reverse of last year. By end of May last year I was at 17.81" which is the 67th percentile yet I still finished in the 39th percentile for the year. I'm hoping for at least one good tropical influence storm this year hopefully 2. I'd love to get a good 20-25 inches of rain throughout the summer Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

I'm guessing 73 for. Memorial day Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

I sit at a dismal 9.74" of rain for the year which puts me at about the 21st percentile Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

So here is a fun little project. It's CTP entire event database since 1996. Tried to normalize reports by population and homogenize costs to compare. You can do a neat little heatmap that shows preferred storm corridors to some extent. You definitely can't totally escape the rule that someone has to be there to make a storm report, but I did try to balance it out. I think there's almost 10,000 events. You can filter by all kinds of things. Enjoy!!! https://jns182wx.github.io/CTP_Storm_Catalog/ Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

Yes, it's broad but I swear I see more rotation in lines consistently than any other spot right in this area where the mountains form a V that I wonder if its terrain enhanced Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

If I were you I'd take a deep dive into station history metadata if your using raw values. One of the biggest issue I found was time of observation bias for temperature. Easily can throw things off 1-2 degres Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

It was just a few years ago we had graupel and laural summit had 11.8" of snow close to now Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

The question this summer is will we get any tropical influence or be shut out once more. I think we've had one storm in the past 4-5 years influence us with is far below normal Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

Very rarely do they last more than 48 hours Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk
