Very different dynamic in the summer when our cold anomalies are generally derived from broader features on the Pacific side, rather than from stout mid-latitude amplification and continental air. In the summer there is a positive correlation between a cool PNW and a cool Alaska.

So many drought stricken areas would see significant relief if this pans out. Sure hope it does. Not that I like the pattern at all.

This is going to get a LOT of people excited! I've not seen anything like this in a while! @Andie@CentralNebWeather@snowstorm83@OKwx2k4@Tom @Hawkeye@hawkstwelve (Apologies in advance for those I've not listed, there's too many to list at once!)

South falls had a lot of water yesterday. Took little man on a 5 mile stroller loop on the bike path.

Wow. That would be tremendous. Our church has continued prayer vigils for rain. Hallelujah.

This mornings GFS still looks good for Nebraska over the next 7 days. Best part is that it doesn't all come at one time. The ground should be able to take most of it.

Today I learned Tim and randy are hoping for a dry day because they will melt if they get hit by a raindrop. I also learned about a spate of recent “wet” summers.

83* and sunny today (Arches) Let me entice you back!

Holy guacamole! This is gonna warm the E-IO as well as cool the ENSO regions. Can’t get more La Niña than this.

2 inches of rain is expected for parts of Nebraska tomorrow. @CentralNebWeather may get up to 1 inch with a Marginal Risk of Flooding.

Frosty 31° this morning.

How do we open May??? We flip the script for NE peeps but continue the "cool" and sub normal pattern. With the good, comes the ugly....unfortunately, that's what your going to have to deal with in this pattern. Gosh, I could see Record cold highs for @CentralNebWeathercome May 2nd. Both GFS/EURO suggesting some accumulating snow in parts of NW NE as we open up May. 0z Euro loading it up....it could become to much of a good thing, however, so maybe ya'll should tell everyone to maybe cut back on the prayers?? I counted 4 troughs lining up like a symphony across the central ag belt region. Wouldn't this be a wonderful pattern next cold season?

Here is the best I can do from my front porch. Another cell is just coming through. What an evening.

I miss March and April down there. Spokane's springs tend to be rather frigid.

Meantime, current conditions in the valley of the sun…on the patio deck just working…

Heading to Cascade Volcanoes class. Last class was a lecture about Mt Pinatubo! It was about using activity to predict an eruption, evacuation plans, etc but there was a slide on SO2 and global climate cooling as well.

Woke up to heavy t-storms this morning. Lot of lightning and thunder. Only 36°

A lot of records were broken this morning. My area was probably one of them. I even saw icicles hanging from roof-tops for crying out loud. I saw a clip of Chicago yesterday on the news and the reporter had on gloves and a scarf. Wc had to be biting atm especially w all the high buildings there and the wind was gusty too. So far, March and April were too cold and not much of any Spring yet. Wow. Hopefully May can give in some warmer weather. In the meantime, I am thinking AZ weather.....sunshine and warm temps.

Any moisture is welcome. Local forecasts call for multiple chances in the coming days. Dew Point of 52 this morning with dew on the cars. Don’t remember the last time I’ve seen that. Hopefully good moisture available for the storms tomorrow afternoon.

OK for April 27th the official high at Detroit City airport of 43 is the 2nd coldest for any April 27th. It was the high was 42 at Flint that was also the 2nd coldest there. At Detroit Metro the high was 46 and that was the 9th coldest. So all in all a very cold April 27th and remember that was was with sunshine for most if not all of the day.

Under a Winter Weather Advisory here for 4-10" of snowfall tonight into tomorrow morning. Currently raining heavily and 35 degrees. In case anyone was keeping track, our grass is finally showing signs of life again and the daffodils have emerged from the ground! Everything seems to be running a couple of weeks behind schedule. And the moisture gift keeps giving!

Rain also coming through the fire/burn areas around Arapahoe.

Do I see DFW getting 7-10 inches of rainfall?

Goodness, 80 dBz on radar in Northern Kansas

I thought we need Alaska to be warm

Very dominant low pass signal. Through D46:

And it’s looking right on schedule if not 3 days early. Raise your spirits with this photo from when I was in Long Beach

Goodness! This is the Days 1-7 Rainfall from the WPC

Yeah this thing is definitely going to last into winter 2022-23. Keep in mind it’s going to be westerly / +QBO as well. I have a feeling next winter is going to be a monster.

I love Guacamole.

12z GFS storm parade through next week. Definitely good for Nebraska but gross overall pattern. No warmth in sight either.

HRRR is not picking up on this rain in Eastern Iowa this morning at all. Finally the 16z run that is running now is getting rain as far south as Cedar Rapids, but it's been raining all the way down to about the MO border for the last couple of hours. Another gloomy, dreary, wet day here. It's a perfect night for my sand volleyball league, which starts up tonight...

Noisy storms moving over right now, should continue through the afternoon.

12Z HRRR shows storms forming over/near Omaha this evening and lasting for several hours. In fact it shows nearly 7" of rainfall in northern Douglas County (where I live) under the "O" and the "M" on the map. Maybe some good lightning picture opportunities as I am floating away to the Missouri River.....

Getting lucky with an isolated single storm moving right over my house. Decent thunder and downpours!

If Big Joe B is saying this, RUN!

The next 9 days off the 0z EPS...boy, does that green paint bomb look beautiful for NE and the heartland...

00z gfs is fantastic!

Average high right now is just barely above 60 in Seattle.

I think I’ve only cracked 60 twice this year so far. 63F is the high water mark for the year to date.

It appears that the Convective Feedback did the trick for Holdridge to get rainfall.

20 miles south of me in Alma. 2” hail and torrential downpours. I’m getting some nice rain here as things keep developing. Very thankful for the moisture

Odds are definitely increased under Niña/+QBO. Vast majority of the big dogs were such. Just want to avoid a super niña. Other complications can arise if it gets too strong. But even that didn’t stop years like 1949/50.

As long as it’s not one in the cascades lol.

30 here this morning. another freeze

Great shots. I recognize delicate arch for sure. Is that landscape arch? I remember the rock formation in the third photo but forget the name. On our last trip to arches my employer was going through a round of layoffs. I remember waiting for a call from my boss to find out if I still had a job. Surprisingly good cell reception in the park. And, I kept my job…

Great definition of Arches ( incredible and unreal) and thanks 40* Federal Way 3.49 precipitation for the month

The Euro trends towards the GFS and the wave train "Choo Choo" appears to be tracking smack dab across the central ag belt. You can thank the blocking....the heavens will open up... 0z Euro next 10 days...
