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
Are you telling him nice weather fits your schedule? Not a good idea.
But timing is great with a weekend and it being Mother's Day. We are doing boat on Saturday with the entire family (even my mom) and then dinner on the deck on Sunday. Looking forward to a taste of summer.
I am sure there will be more rain ahead too. If it stays warm in May then June is likely to be cooler and wetter than normal.
Agree with this sentiment. You know I’ll be out enjoying it in some part of the region in some form, even if I use this place as an outlet to grumble about double digit positive anomalies or airport temps wildly exceeding guidance.
It did seem like enough of a purely subjective statement that it called for a little prodding, though.
84F with brilliant sunshine and green everywhere without any dry vegetation is nice. If we keep it limited to the weekend it'll be a welcome, brief change of pace with great timing to enjoy on my days off. So long as we crash back to earth next week instead of going for round two.
