  1. Some thunder and lightning off to the ENE here. There was a really loud rumble of thunder about 20 minutes ago. Then we stood on the porch and watched the sky light up 3 or 4 more times, with receding thunder.

  2. A broad-brush that doesn't include localized minimums, no doubt. For example, isolated below freezing temps were observed in metro LA not indicated on the map. Astronomical winter ended warm/ dry w/ above normal temps and only one day of rainfall during the first 20 days of March.

  3. I just measured a flake that landed on my porch. It was literally 1 1/2" long by 3/4" wide. Not joking. Biggest flakes I can remember

  6. I have a bad feeling this is going to be a long and miserable spring. Cool, rainy, and crappy, with tiny teases of it being warm. I don't like Springs here either Tom. It's the worst. Summer is great with water stuff and what have you, Fall is great because of harvests and things like Octoberfest, Winter is great for winter sports. And then there's spring. Cold, rainy, muddy, awful. Worst part of this spring is we don't even have a nice winter to sit back and reflect on.

  8. Yeah, you won't have to worry about a repeat of 2013/14/15. All three featured convection along/west of the dateline with a secondary cell over the IO. This year is sort of inverted, but unique in the extreme west-based/modoki Niño setup, with the subsidence over the IO and WPAC/dateline, and enhanced EPAC/WHEM convection.

  9. For those interested - The NAM 3km (parallel) was officially upgraded this morning on the 12z run. The NAM 3km replaces the lower resolution and less reliable 4km model. I watched the NAM 3km very closely all winter and it was actually the one model that picked up on the Portland Jan 11th snowstorm first and has been very reliable in the short term as I've mentioned before.

  10. Quite a nice surprise this morning. Half dollar sized flakes or bigger falling now. Hard enough rate, even the ground getting white! 41 temp too! (Just outside of Des Moines)

  11. Dallas hit 92º yesterday and others down there had their earliest 90+ reading since the historical 1930's, so yeah, it's really early hot hot hot. I actually prefer the heat of summer to the bitter cold of winter but neither extreme is fun to deal with. I remember visiting my Mom down in FL years ago in October and the high was 99 and a low of 80 deg's with NO a/c in a double-wide. Ofc, I had lobstered at the beach because I didn't think (know) that Oct sun could burn you, at least down there. Talk about a miserable night of not being able to sleep nor get relief. Ahhh, the good ole days! She finally got enough $$ to have central air installed the last 6 yrs of her life, then she wondered how she'd gone without for 13 yrs

  13. Snow is flying just N/NW of OMA/DSM right now...winter still hanging on, albeit not much of a wx maker. Tomorrow will be chilly as my high temps top out in the mid 30's. Hope that is the last time I see highs in the 30's till next season!

  15. Friday is looking delightful around these parts with temps near 70F! Hopefully the warm front pushes far enough north so we don't have to worry about any lake breeze. Tis the season.

  16. It's a very pleasant day over here, the warmest day in a couple weeks. That's a pretty-looking map. We don't need any big drought to blow up over the central US. We are not dry, but I'd love to see some big soaker systems drop a couple inches and really get everything greened up.

  17. As long as forcing stays west of the dateline and the QBO cooperates, everything should be fine. I like the placement of the forcing as modeled.
