[Phil]

So how about that 1918 analog?

 

There was a pandemic that year too.

 

[Jesse]

Pretty chilly by your standards!

 

74/51 here.

[TT-SEA]

74 here today... and then we had moderate rain for an hour. Great day for gardens with warmth and sun and rain.

 

[TacomaWaWx]

Rainy and breezy out here 62 degrees.

[MossMan]

Wow I’m shocked the power is still on, quite the surprise wind!

[Frontal Snowsquall]

Pretty chilly by your standards!

 

74/51 here.

+9 departure, just missed out on double digits.

[TT-SEA]

Looks like most places will end up between +1 and +2 for April... except Olympia which will be close to normal.

 

 

Oops...

 

 

I'm going with widespread -2.5 to -3.5 departures for the monthly averages.

Oh yeah... I think Jim should be accountable for his forecasts even though when he comes back he will just be screaming about something else cold and demanding everyone match his excitement.

Looks like marine air has already reached much of the Willamette valley, capping afternoon temps there. Lots of warm season features to today’s pattern.

 

It's almost May.

I just find it interesting to take note of when we start seeing these things from year to year. Never said it was unusual.

 

Today was probably the most classic warm season-esque day of the warm season thus far. Right down to the band of marine push triggered showers that moved through earlier. Had some brief heavy rain here.

The changing of the seasons never gets old, that's for sure.

A couple pop up showers earlier made it damp, didn't amount to anything. 1.94" for April.

00z looks pretty ridgy. Shaping up to be one of the warmest cold springs on record.

[Deweydog]

00z seems convinced tomorrow is the LAST day of April.

Shoulda been dry and chilly this month. Then regime change punched us square in the mouth.

I guess climate is a sort of regime.

[ShawniganLake]

Lol. That’s pretty brutal.

Digging the 00z Euro pattern a lot more than the GFS.
