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
To be fair, that's SEA and they've been an outlier on the cool side with anomalies. Seattle city office was +1.0 for March, and is running +.7 for April.
Overall, not a torchy spring so far, just a bit above normal most places.
I think the summer is going to be stuck in a >XKZ/HLT pattern under WFG+/ABC- conditions, due to the HVJE/KSUF forcing in the +1A-HDW region of the JSHDW/North Antarctic Ocean, causing a mass FNEO× pattern in the PRHEU layer of the atmosphere. This summer is going to be a peak HFHSOUF/IFGDSJ- pattern in the east coast, and a UFHEJ+ pattern in the west coast. Just my opinion based on the HDGS/PAHF/IAHC+×-< forcing.
90s already beginning here.
5 months from now it’ll be late September..and probably have the same exact weather only more humid. Why can’t winter last half the year too?
