April 2022 (April 2008/2011 redux)

[Chewbacca Defense]

I think this was brought up a few weeks back, but the sun continues to impress with its level of activity.  I have a space weather app on my phones that has been sending me so many notifications and alerts, I think my wife is starting to wonder if I have a girlfriend LOL!

 

Beautiful crystal clear morning here in Bellingham, currently 37 after a low of 32.

We had a X2.2 Solar Flare last night (Morning at UTC)

[TacomaWaWx]

Low of 37 this morning.

The next phase of my veggie garden rebuild arrived today! Come on nicer weather!! 
55/38 on the day. Currently 48 and mostly clear.

.08” on the day, 4.20” for the month. 

I tweaked my back mulching last week.

Must be getting older, that’s never happened to me before.

It’s too clean sitting in the garage, time to get it dirty again! 

Bruh how do you keep equipment that clean? Not physically possible.

[Rubus Leucodermis]

Another day, another frosty April morning. I have frankly lost count how many there have been.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

45F and rainy. Up to 4.07" on the month here. This is gonna help with the fires this summer bigly. Should be ok this time around!

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Wet morning. Doesn't seem like a thunderstorm day. Steady rain, temps in the low 40s. Hit 35 this morning. If it clears out quickly in the early afternoon though we could be in biznaz.

Wow just 2.53” here so far this month. 

[TacomaWaWx]

Was filtered sunshine this morning now it’s clouding up.

66.6 is pretty good though. Ronnie James Dio would approve. 
 

 

[bainbridgekid]

Was surprised to wake up to frost and a thin layer of ice on my windshield this morning. I'm not in a good radiational cooling spot, so not bad for late April.

You don't see this forecast very often for Eugene. In fact, this is the first time I've ever seen it.

So happy to hear that!

Jet has been both invigorated and suppressed this last month. Essentially we’ve briefly returned to pre-1998 climo where Eugene is in the heart of the soaking baroclinic zone and Seattle is fairly dry and cold north of the jet.

Corvallis is showing the same thing!

It’s 11:05 AM now... where are the thunderstorms? Jk

[Deweydog]

MODERATE RAIN

[Thunder98]

I think Portland will get struck by 3 EF5 tornadoes tonight.

[TacomaWaWx]

SPRINKLING RAIN 

[Phil]

Finally seeing some dents in the soil moisture deficit.

Let’s keep it going! Still need more.

Bootleg and Dixie Fire burn areas doing better than I thought. Good to see.

EPS is trending that way as well.    The 12Z run is drier than normal across western WA over the next couple of weeks... and puts the mean trough position in the eastern US during the second half of the run.

 

You’re a f**king jinx.

Eastern trough signal dying faster than Mossman’s graupel piles.

[Thunder98]

Happy 4/20 day everybody!

Just 16 minutes away from the magical time there. I get off work at 5pm though so I’ll miss it. Lol.

Yeah, summer drought concerns are definitely significantly lessening now from about 45N northward, so down to central Oregon. Actually starting to work a little water year surplus now here locally.

[BLI snowman]

Still at only 45 here with some light rain now getting ready to move out. 

NAM doesn't show much popping off behind this, but the HRRR still has a line of showers or tstorms moving through around 4pm. It's going to take some significant clearing to get primed for much of anything.

[Omegaraptor]

Yeah... lack of any clearing or sunbreaks starting to get a bit concerning. Radar still just green blobs.

Going to Dave Chappelle at the Moda Center tonite. Seems fitting.

I’d want the insurance against the 4CH below 40N, just in case.

But yeah, better chance to keep the hot monster suppressed south/east of the PNW this summer. Tropics looking much better compared to last year.

[Thunder98]

I expect another active monsoon season for the Southwest

[Omegaraptor]

Eugene windspeed just went up to sustained 20s.

[Deweydog]

SKY IS BRIGHTENING.

I see my attempt to jinx in clearing has worked.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Any severe weather yet?

Pray for May snow in your area.
