Jesse Posted May 2, 2020 Report Share Posted May 2, 2020 Models seem to be backing off from us seeing our first 80 degree weather of the season late next week, for now.

Phil Posted May 2, 2020 Report Share Posted May 2, 2020 Doesn’t look intense but it’s there. Room for it to consolidate I suppose but that’s a crapload of precip out ahead of it. Won’t be much surface based instability so full mixing will be tough. If there are solid pressure rises associated with it, that’d help. Haven’t followed closely so not sure if it’s frontal/pre-frontal, etc. If it’s the former, I’d be more interested.

Omegaraptor Posted May 2, 2020 Report Share Posted May 2, 2020 Ain’t that the truth. The coverage for about 2/3 is the state is pretty pathetic.A thunderstorm can pass right over Eugene or Roseburg and it would barely be visible on any radar image. Even worse for Florence and Coos Bay. Lane + Douglas counties is nearly half a million people with little or no coverage. They really need to put a radar between NWS Portland and Medford.
