Really, really lovely cumulonimbus action tonight! I just happened to have my drone in the car and got some solid shots of DT Seattle/Lake Washington/Mercer Island/Bellevue looking north from Skyway. Alas, the focal length of the lens doesn't do the vertical height justice and my WB was off rendering it into semi-gross HDR territory, but still... fun looking weather! It was quite windy- I was flying right at 390 ft and the drone was giving me all sorts of warnings about sustained winds/gusts.
A most incredible snow storm. At times the snowfall rates have been as heavy or slightly heavier than January 2017. Temp 27.5, Dewpoint: 27.1 with gusty east wind and very heavy snow continuing. I'm at 11 1/2" now! UNBELIEVABLE!!!! This pic does no justice at all.
NBM is quite an interesting product! Their weighting algorithm is moderately complex and dynamic, though does has some drawbacks as we saw yesterday. For those who don't know, NBM is an attempt by NOAA to create a super probabilistic forecast model that ingests output from all the models above and outputs forecast guidance for local offices that help them to gauge the relative odds of particular weather outcomes. The 'special sauce' is the post-processing, normalization and weighting that they d
The official H/L yesterday at Grand Rapids was 69/50 there was 0.28” of rainfall. The highest wind gust was 39 MPH out of the NW. There was 23% of possible sunshine. For today the average H/L is 67/46 the record high of 89 was in 1926 and the record low of 27 was in 1976. Last year the H/L was 31/51 and there was 0.10” of rain.
Here in MBY I had 0.34” of rainfall yesterday. The overnight low here in my yard was 49 and at this time with clear skies it is 52.
0.22" of rain this AM from the thunderstorm...briefly lost power. Should see sun returning today and our warmest day for at least the next couple weeks as temps make a run at the 80's today. By contrast on Friday we will struggle to escape the 50's for high temps.
Chester County records for today: High 98 degrees at Phoenixville (1930) / Low 29 degrees at both West Chester and Morgantown (1974) / Rain 2.90" Coatesville 2W (1992)
Anyone should know he's the one that's actually running the show from behind the scenes! Biden is just a puppet and doesn't always know what's going on. Obama is more affectively destroying America now than when he was president because any criticism is now directed at Biden.
Looking like the wet pattern will likely continue for many after a brief lull later this week. A break from the severe weather will be appreciated.
Rainfall the last 30 days.
Thunderstorms are beginning to develop this morning off to my west, models wanna bring them through my area. Big storms will develop this afternoon with a moderate risk area over SE MO into Kentucky and Tenn.
