The radar looks pitiful. It's 71 here now and cannot see any clouds to the west. Did see the zone forecast just south of me says snow Wed AM! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MAG5035 Posted March 29, 2020 Well for this week in "it figures", hey we have blocking up top! Unfortunately, probably too much so in the case of this potential April 1st event. -PNA western trough and positive tilt alignment also help keep the system suppressed and not really allow for it to amp and try to come up. Even if it does throw up precip, the temps are likely to be really marginal as per usual this time of the year absent a significantly anomalous cold airmass.

MAG5035 Posted March 29, 2020 Visible satellite imagery (https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/?parms=regional-northeast-dcphase-96-1-100-1&checked=map&colorbar=undefined) shows very clearly the low cloud deck still anchored in over eastern PA this afternoon even after clearing in the mid-high levels. You can see a little bit of erosion of the low clouds from the west and south but we're only a couple hours from sunset and the east probably isn't clearing out by then. The sun did bust out here mid-afternoon and we're in the 60s, but we don't have the high winds that are occurring in the Laurel's and especially west of there in PBZ's zones. The full mixing there is getting temps way into the 70s, even JST is 72 currently. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grass is mowed, temps are great and the upcoming week looks quite chilly for April standards so needed a nice day like this. Feel bad for the folks east of me.

Anything under 60 is chilly if the wind is blowing. We did walk about two miles ourselves this afternoon so after coming into the weekend with a terrible weather forecast it did not turn out too bad. We ended up with only .65" of rain all together. Those heavy bands many here got yesterday went north of me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was supposed to be 73 here. Also good to hear they're doing better. Been hearing some pretty chilling numbers. The Trump administration was saying a good case scenario with deaths would be 100,000-200,000 :\\\ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Speaking of thunderstorms is anyone familiar enough with these tents all over the area, in NYC and around here, going up due to Covid and their ability to withstand a storm with strong downdrafts and high winds? When I see those things the first thing I think is that I would not want to be in one when a storm hits. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
