There was some decent excitement around when UMass BBall was good. Nothing like professional sports tho.

Very true. Refuse to Lose was an awesome time. I knew the entire starting lineup as a 13 year old, and I can't remember anything like it since in this area.

Nah BD’s ruinin every day post Tuesday down to NYC

00z guidance attempting to lure warm enthusiast into a set up ...  muah hahaha

I grew up in the ... antiquities of modeling yester-lore ( eh hm), and recall a day and times when if there were ever a BD on the chart near Maine... the verification snows in Atlanta Georgia.  

No not literally ..but if figuratively/sarcastically.    Point being, the models were just inadequate in handling them,  particularly because the physics for the lower BL was still being evolved, as well ... the modeling tech was intrinsically having very low resolution/grid point evaluation density when processing.  Those limitations meant that BDs, being almost entirely in the lowest 250 mb of troposphere, were only quasi detectable.  like hinted at ?   

Now, huge improvements in the wholesale modeling, from input density/grid resolution, to improvements in various BL assumptions in the baseline physical equations  means that the models at least know that there is a BD on the map with far better coherence.   They're even improving on the position of them, per interval. 

Having said that... those ancient early life abuses don't set me up very well for mature adult relationships with models - I tend to still be relationship avoidant/fear of intimacy when it comes to dating prospects that include actually holding off BDs.  It doesn't help that BDs are by nature a 'rough sex' experience and I'm not into that sort of thing

Unfortunately understanding how a rural small remote college which had DIV2 level athletes ,turned into the most successful basketball teams in history, captivating an entire state, is unexplainable. We love our Huskies. The fact both men's and women's teams are so successful brings in the entire family in.  Its unique and amazing

Could be some interesting storms late tomorrow afternoon and early evening right along the boundary. Might even see a decent line make its way into western Mass/CT during the evening. Its pretty unstable with steep lapse rates south of the boundary with strong shear

Some striking differences though on the mesos with the HRRR and (to some degree) RRFS the more aggressive of the guidance.

This is a wild 2M Temp map tomorrow evening...

Freezing rain in the Champlain Valley while it's near 70F at ALB and CEF.

You had to know/suspect that this particular spring would have a preponderance of these BD headaches.

Have to enjoy today… we went from 26F to 61F before noon.
