87storms

Initially the precip will be from disturbances riding along a west to east stalled boundary. By mid week a coastal low will develop. The result will be multiple rounds of rain and  likely 2-3"+ across much of the region. Even the local desert climo areas should do pretty well. Hoping for an underperformer here.

Happy Easter all. Enjoy it outside if you can because this week looks like a real winner

House sitting/dog sitting in Olney and have heard several rumbles so far along with lightning.  Yep, didn't expect that after glancing at the radar a little while ago.  It was somewhat mild/humid today, though.

Who wants some more snow?  From this mornings AFD 

Mountain Snow (Thursday/Friday): The first in a series of cold
fronts crosses the area early Wednesday morning, as the base of the
cutoff mid-level low moves across PA/NY. Colder temperatures surge
into the Alleghenies by Wednesday afternoon, causing precip to
transition from rain to snow by Wednesday night. Favorable dynamics
and ample moisture could result in a prolonged period of upslope
mountain snow. Marginal temperatures likely limit accumulations
through Wednesday evening, then better chance for snow to stick
Thursday into Friday. The GFS in particular is much higher than the
other guidance, showing significant snow accumulations late in the
week. At the very least 1-3", possibly up to 4-5", of accumulating
snow is possible at the higher elevations. Light snow could fall as
east as the Blue Ridge/Catoctins

Looks like a miserable stretch of weather incoming this week.

GGEM 12z. We have something to watch next week. 
GEFS 18z is picking up on the idea too. 

Turned into a spectacular day…often times we’re cloudy and windy following a storm system. Late March sun ftw

Palisades and Mammoth are getting rocked hard by snow!

Time to unpin. 
 
Let’s go 70s!

THIS ^^ this or snowshoeing thru deep stuff is what I like to do nowadays. 

And a fiery shiny new base state, monster Hadley Cells and a fooked up MJO, alongside very warm sea surface temps!
I am really stoked for some decent Category 6 tropical cyclone action this fall!
This could be the fall Miami gets on the proverbial  chopping block, with a slow moving superheated high end Cat 5 with 245mph sustained winds in the eyewall, sporting a truly monster 40 foot storm surge coming at MIA like Jaws 18 from the SSE at 1 mph, buzzsawing hell out of Miami with millions stuck on the A1A. You know Reed Timmer and Josh Morgerman of iCyclone are both gonnabe tryin to cover that extraordinary extravaganza of a megastorm!

My station so far. 

Clouds are on the increase again. That’s one thing we’ve been doing extremely well during this multi-year snow drought. That and a breeze. Must be tied to an overall busier Pacific/warmer waters.

As someone that HASN'T been on skis for 20 years I agree with you both. HATED the 'mushy' of late spring (or a rapid warm up in winter to cause those conditions) but also never liked ice. Therefore, I no long ski lol. Just too few 'good/great' days around here even back then. Likely my WORST day ever was at the Homestead in mid Jan with 31/32 and light freezing rain. Think everyone on the slopes would have been better off with a pair of ice skates on.

Well it looks like the GFS won this weekends storm... it has been rock solid for a week now.

It's also been solid at showing less digital/fake blue the last several years...which lines up with "actual".

I've realized that I'm willing to sacrifice up to 10 degrees in order to achieve sunshine.  Today's weather is crisp, but hardly a cloud in the sky...I'll take it.

Drove through 31F, heavy snow, with approx 1" on the ground through east PA on I-84 today.  Get back to VA and it's sunny, 65F, hurricane winds and wildfires again.  I'm so goddamn sick of this place.

The former sounds lovely in December, not in late March...though I could do without wildfire smoke.

We really do wind well around here recently 

Mazel Tov to KMLWX...now it's time to reel in some storms.

The idea of moving to the Great Lakes or Northeast/New England sounds nice on paper, but I swear just about every time I look at the satellite imagery there's clouds there.  I don't think I could deal with that over long stretches.  I feel like there's already enough cloudy/windy days here lol.

Color aside , teams have a better chance to win more games with Kirk than with Justin at this point, it is no longer a build for the future league, it's a win now league - it's that simple... After all the Bears are going to replace Justin with another black mobile QB who might be a better passer ... The final game still features QBs that are primarily big time passers whether they are mobile/athletic or not and regardless of color...........

I’m beginning to long for the days of stagnant, soupy airmass’s with late afternoon storms.

Best day of 2024 yet today?

Eh, tough to beat the 70s, but sunshine is a 50/50 thing around here, so today gets a high grade.

Humidity ramped up a bit for a time today. I could use a storm or a polar vortex for a day to knock this pollen down. It’s been legit this week.

Yes, having a hobby with a singular desired outcome that you have no control over and is a rare occurrence is pretty sucky. 

The 18z gfs provided a friendly reminder that it needs to be cold for it to snow.
