While trending warmer, spring has always been super swingy so the averages we arrive at are from half the days feeling like early march and the other half like Memorial Day weekend. True, looking back at my records I have 5 50 degree or greater nights and 5 30 degree or lower nights for this date! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailylurker Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Beautiful day. The dry weather has been great for business. It's nice seeing the Euro bringing about an inch of rain across the area on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it went poof faster than a snowstorm 3 days out. I'm sure it will just end up cloudy and windy. Looks dry after that for the rest of April. I wonder when the water restrictions will start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardNole Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 I know the drought is a big problem but man what a gorgeous day today and looking good tomorrow and Thursday. Sitting on the deck is so nice -- except for the light to moderate maple seed squalls lol Saw first hummingbird today 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time there's a big rain in the forecast it gets walked back to practically nothing in the days leading up to it, every time.... What went wrong with our advertised wet pattern? Is it something with the ENSO state? Will it ever properly rain again? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The long hot days will drag on seemingly forever, before our brief respite of shorter days and longer nights return once again.

Stormchaserchuck1 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 4 hours ago, JenkinsJinkies said: What went wrong with our advertised wet pattern? Is it something with the ENSO state? Will it ever properly rain again? We are in more of a La Nina pattern right now. This started in May 2024. A good indicator is the ENSO subsurface, when there is below average water at -200m (the thermocline), below Nino 3/3.4, that translates to more of a La Nina pattern. Right now the indicator is weakish La Nina, where it's been for 14 months. The long term Hadley Cell state in the Pacific Ocean is also La Ninaish.

CAPE Posted Thursday at 10:45 PM Share Posted Thursday at 10:45 PM My wetland, which never got totally wet, is now drying up. Just a few areas that have 2-3 inches of water. I hit it with a bit more larvicide today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two fires near me in Alleghany County, one wild and one prescribed, but I think most of that smoke is going north/northwest on light SE winds.

Yeah, widespread heavy convection Friday night (as depicted on that one NAM Nest run) just doesn't seem likely, although there could be a few good downpours for some lucky areas. After that, I'm glad to see some ensemble agreement for a strong trough passage the following weekend, but I don't like seeing the prolonged signal for northwest flow after that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grass is always green in Spring. Even in a drought. Okay, but what makes you think that is a possibility? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
