SilverFallsAndrew Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 For all the Alaska vortex lovers on this forum, it looks like Utqiaġvik, Alaska dropped to -20°F this AM. First record low there since December 2007, less than a year before the inception of the -PMM/cold phase cycle (which terminated in 2013). Also appears to be the coldest temperature observed there this late in the season by 11°F.

MossMan Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 We had a few inches of overrunning snow mid month, I think. Not much but it was whiteSame here. One evening where we got a half inch and that was it. Though I was in Moses Lake at the time and had a little more over there.

Jesse Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 A good example of the difference between misleadingly smoothed maps and what the ensembles actually show to be had here. In reality, the GFS ensembles have a ton of spread in the long range, and a troughy signal before the very end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA459788-4F2C-4763-998D-4087D01B03B0.png The maps are way better than those charts for a specific location that give you no clue about the overall pattern. The 12Z GEFS is actually ridgy right through day 16... and is still warm on day 16. The mean is important because the most likely solution is a blend of all the members. But the GEFS is not that reliable anyways so it probably does not matter.

Jesse Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 Oh, I had the time. But my priorities were elsewhere, mainly being outside and enjoying the sun with my family. You'd be amazed at the mental gymnastics I can do to rationalize delaying staining the deck. My deck isn't stained, but my son can now absolutely rip around on his Strider bike. I guess we better turn to Yuma so people have more time to put off their dry weather projects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherfan2012 Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 That kinda sucks. I like gray, drizzly days a lot. They add moody flavor to what would otherwise be bland regularity.Late May to August here is also very southern..it’s all convective precip, no cloudy days/stratiform stuff. But it’s a shorter severe season with a lower tornado risk compared to the Plains. March and April are very active in the Plains but essentially dormant here. alot of our summer storms tend to be the slow movers due to the lack of anything to push them anywhere no wind flow above.unless its a stronger then normal storm system.

GeorgeWx Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 We set a new record high temp yesterday of 75F which broke the old record of 74F set in 2013. Pretty impressive for April at 6300'. We will finish this lousy winter with about 50% of normal snowfall and 60% of normal precip.

AlTahoe Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 Lake Tahoe can get big lightning storms if the monsoon is good. Are you on the California or Nevada side?South Lake Tahoe on the California side about 2 miles west of the Nevada state line. We benefit from being in the middle of the Sierra Nevada crest and the Carson Range so storms tend to follow both of those ridges giving us a good light show. We also get monster hail storms in summer. Sometimes they have to bring the snow plows out to clear the hail from the highways. I recorded hail 4" deep on the level during a July 2015 storm. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
