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
Ponds are full. Going to the lake today, hopefully have some peaceful weather.
Ugly tornadoes in Oklahoma, Texas and southern Missouri overnight. I hope folks got to safety.

The official H/L yesterday was 73/77 there was 0.33” of rainfall. The sun was out 78% of the time. The highest wind gust was 24 MPH out of the W. For today the average H/L is 73/52 the record high of 90 was set in 2010 and 2020. The record low of 34 was set in 1897 and 1974. Last year the H/L was 75/37.
We seen a well-pitched game yesterday and out Tigers came out with a 2 to 1 wind. One of the issues with a day game in Detroit is there is almost no shade and it gets hot in the stands on a sunny day. Even with sunscreen on my wife looks like a lobster. It was 82 when we left Detroit and it was 76 at Lansing and down to 72 here in Grand Rapids. So yes it can be cooler in GR than off to the east of here.
The overnight low here in MBY was 51 and at the current time with cloudy skies it is 58.
