March Madness

might be more sleet here on the Euro AI but we take.. this could still go anywhere though from CNE to SNE

Was really surprised to wind up with the snow this morning--about 4" or so.  Surprise for many given the number of cars off the turnpike.

Let’s have this go underneath us, and get a last event…cuz there is certainly no nice weather ahead that’s for sure…F it.

Codfish must have had a bow line hit his head with that comment.

I thought the past two days were great. Nice finish to winter with some good periods of high overcast and afternoon temps barely to 32 yesterday and 35 today. Maybe a few snow flurries tonight. Wintry appeal in the bottom of the 9th.

I wouldn't bring in the closer just yet.

105° at PHX today.

You have to go to May 2 to find a temperature record warmer than that.

First go around with an intensity 2 for tornadoes (also have it for hail in Texas). Very curious to see how this changes or enhances public communication or if it just adds confusion. I wonder what @OceanStWx thoughts on this conditional intensity addition is. 

I'm generally a fan, but it's going to take some education.

The TLDR is that SPC now has a way to highlight low coverage but high potential intensity events.

I think about 6/1/11. Back then there was only a slight risk, but you could make an argument that coverage was reasonable for a slight only not enhanced. You can now add CIG zones to highlight significant tornado risk even in a 2% or 5%. That just wasn't possible before without a 10% hatched.

There was complaining about the miss in MI on day 1. But there was literally no way in the old outlook system to put a significant tornado risk there without upgrading the entire outlook.

The cold pattern in the Eastern US feels like it's already broken this month. Many places are several degrees above average for March.

Gfs is further south and has no snow for SNE.

Gfs/ai gfs looked good
