We’re pretty good at clouds here. Not as good as the upper Midwest and northeast, but pretty good. Whenever we get into these high pressure dominant patterns, I try to soak it up...especially in the winter.
I remember attending an outdoor (I think summer) wedding. It was uncomfortable lol. I’d much rather be moving around than sitting there shvitzing and acting like a mosquito magnet.
Looking forward to a return of the ever evasive southerly flow…it’s way too dry rn. Allergies have been cranking, too. Might as well live in the desert and get desert scenery. Looks like the dry conditions are showing on the drought monitor again as well.
The clouds have actually been generally weak since my earlier post. Got a sun-fueled basketball sesh in earlier. Frederick is becoming a nice weather magnet again.
First time I’ve seen LWX mention the cloud bias… .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... Shortwave-trough dropping sewd from Michigan this afternoon will result in bkn clouds this afternoon and isold-sct showers across the mountains. Increased PoPs across the mountains and sky cvr grids as NBM has a notorious low bias for cloud cvr and PoPs in W to NW flow.
The mountain cloud factory is cranking a bit. Still a pleasant day, but kinda lol that the forecast here now says turning mostly cloudy this afternoon.
Even a broken clock gets it right on occasion. Definitely looking forward to an increase in sunshine and I'm good with a return back to the 80s as well.
Looks like some drier air is slowly making it's way into the region as Erin pulls away...maybe we can get some breaks in the clouds by early evening. 4 days straight of this...it's time for a pattern flip.
