jcmcgaffey Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 It’s also been interesting how this last month has had an ebb and flow to it on a smaller scale. The weather has tended to clear out throughout the week and then the heavier torughs have come through on the weekends. That has been a consistent pattern the last 3-4 weeks.

Timing does make a huge difference in the overall perception of the weather.

Phil Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 So repeat of 2017?Not over North America or the North Atlantic! As of now, only the Pacific Hadley Cell remains expanded relative to 1981-2010 climo. The IO/ATL z-cell networks have have both contracted equatorward w/ the forcing west of the dateline, and are no longer absurdly large/slow. At long last. Any similarities to 2017 over North America should vanish when the U-winds flip easterly above the tropical tropopause, and the off-equator forcing weakens. Which will happen sometime in JJA, I suspect. 1 Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT-SEA Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 Definitely a good trend for the weekend on recent model runs. Looks warm with maybe some mountain convection on the 00Z GFS.
