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
There's a chance that a few showers could work up into my area today otherwise cloudy and cool. Looks like most of us will dry out and cool down for a good while after the early and midweek storms roll through. @Tom maybe some rain in the valley?
Active day tomorrow especially for Oklahoma and Kansas.
The NAM indicating that Tuesday and Wednesday could be an active day for others east into the Ohio Valley.
Last night was my first thunderstorm in almost a full calendar month.. things look considerably more active moving forward so I should be racking more of them up this month.
Over 1.2" rain fell yesterday at KDWU! (Mostly from a single t'storm that occurred from 10pm to midnight)
72/64 was the hi/low. Today might feature a longer break between the precipitation, sun is already out and may fix up a more primed environment for storms. Overall nicer Spring days than we had late last week, the upstairs is a bit less stuffy now.
