Timmy Supercell Posted June 3, 2022 Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 Last year there weren't any very notable t'storms before I left southern Oregon. I'd say the last pretty good one happened 8/5/2020 over in KFalls. So that was a double downer for 2021, a record warm summer and a lackluster convective year to top it off. 2 Quote Ashland, KY Weather '23-'24 Winter Snowfall - 5.50" First freeze: 11/1 (32) Minimum: 2 on 1/17 Measurable snows: 4 Max 1 day snow: 3" (1/19) Thunders: 16 1/27, 1/28, 2/10, 2/22, 2/27, 2/28, 3/5, 3/6, 3/14, 3/15 3/26, 3/30, 3/31, 4/2, 4/3, 4/8, Severe storms: 2 ------------------------------------------------------- [Klamath Falls, OR 2010 to 2021] https://imgur.com/SuGTijl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used to be a pretty reliable spot for radiational cooling, so it's tough to compare to today. March's warmth also did a lot to minimize meteorological spring's overall anomalies, for just April/May it was fairly impressive across the majority of the region.

TT-SEA Posted June 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 14 minutes ago, Phil said: Hunga Tonga. Because it interrupted the ENSO cycle and led to a Nina? Maybe so. But even a Nina does not mean rain this persistent here. To be fair... this is based on the assumption that it will rain almost every day for the next 2 weeks which is what the ECMWF and EPS are showing. That would be a 2.5 month stretch (75 days) with rain almost every day here and that is exceedingly rare even in the fall and winter. If we get a week of dry weather coming up then it paints a different and more typical Nina picture in which there are some meaningful dry periods even though its wet overall. I just don't see that happening. 1 Quote **REPORTED CONDITIONS AND ANOMALIES ARE NOT MEANT TO IMPLY ANYTHING ON A REGIONAL LEVEL UNLESS SPECIFICALLY STATED** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
