Good god, we are on fire as a planet right now.

Up to 62F here from 59F an hour ago and markedly brighter. Guess I only busted in timing. Clouds held on a few hours longer than I expected; I thought we'd be this clear and warm by lunchtime. Still busting too warm for the models though... They had all areas struggling to reach 60F by 4pm!

Yep. And it will probably verify. Even when models inevitably take it away from us a few times again before locking in the troughing around five days in advance. These Spring troughing patterns are potent and highly reliable. It's really too bad you can't enjoy it as much as I do!

Bit of a bust on this one. Still mostly cloudy here with lots and lots of stratocumulus, and altostratus plugging the holes in the low level cloud deck. Very little visible blue sky. I thought low level moisture would scour more easily. KSEA plummeting back down into the mid 50s now with a shower nailing the airport.

Models have continuously overdelevoped ridges in the 120-240hr range over the last couple months. I doubt tonight's GFS and CMC are starting any new trend.

With today's underperformance, KSEA exactly doubles its April 2024 rainfall total, adding another 0.43" to the bucket and filling it gently to an even 0.86"... Pending some stray stratoform rainbands over the next day. Tomorrow will clear earlier than modeled over the Sound with a mostly-dissipated occlusion front overhead and weakly negative low level lapse rates. Any residual stratus should be digested mighty well by that steamin' late April sun, mixing skies into hazy sunshine before noon. I'm going for a gutsy 64/47 day at KSEA. Might even get a bit muggy, some CAM's have dewpoints pushing fifty in the favored sheltered areas, despite what I claim to be too much modeled cloudcover.

Might score a late season r/s mix Sunday night. That low level airmass is a good one, right from the Bering Sea.

how do you screw up mac and cheese that badly. mac and cheese. lord.

A disk is round on its edges!

Someone else here is having some though!

Not this time! And probably not again for a very long while. Not in any mental state right now to screw around with powerful drugs.

Heard a lot of that on my walk last night. That, and I was probably hearing the forest bloom in real time as millions of leaves grew and slowly brushed up against one another on a massive scale, making for little pops along the way. There was no wind, no rain.

That system tomorrow is a PNW classic. 24 hours of light-moderate stratoform rain and very little wind for just about everyone from Brookings to the tip of Vancouver Island.

Kind of works out perfectly. You don't have to miss out on any beautiful weather here, while I get to enjoy the late season cold rain. It also ensures the grass will stay green deeper into the Spring and summer here, which while that may not be so difficult in North Bend, down in Seattle I'm already seeing brown spots in the most exposed parts of my lawn. Okay! I keep hearing this over and over! My roommate and I were just talking about it the other night. Is it really that good??

That's my sleep paralysis demon
