Still all playing out like '19, '20, and '21.
Try a mental exercise, close your eyes.
Think of cold, snow, a wintery landscape. Think of the cityscapes of Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, and Eugene, and picture them with just globs of snow heaped over them. Keep your eyes closed and imagine maps filled with those pepto pinks and purples. Imagine that arctic air spilling over Vancouver Island and making its way back to Washington and Oregon. Imagine regional blizzard warnings and snow cov
Yeah, the delta on Monday will be telling with Graphcast and Spire. People forget (or don't know) that both models only work off of initialization data and then use various degrees of image based machine learning at very high terrain definitions. Its effectively taking those analog lists to the next level. This means though that there is no real condition modeling taking place, but rather a "I think this feature will develop here because it typically does when these patterns at these levels are
Hello from Chicago! I flew out to my old stomping grounds to visit my family for my nieces communion. I've been watching this weekends weather like a hawk and I'm thrilled that the clipper system is tracking just quick enough and to my east into MI on SAT. Glad to see the rain has been completely taken out of the forecast for both SAT and SUN. Mother's Day is just going to be gorgeous.
As some of you know, I just love flying and my flight yesterday was literally my Top 3 "smoothest" flight ever. Not even one bump of turbulence coming out of PHX, or even over the mountains in the SW...not until we began our descent into ORD we had minimal bumps from the clouds, etc. Not to shabby! Oh, and to top it of, we flew in record time as the pilot came on and said the flight will be 2 hours and 45 min! #winning. Normally, its just about 3.5 hours or less.
Some weather History for May 10
1902: A snowstorm drops from 1 to 6 inches of slushy snow across Lower Michigan. The four inches of snow at Muskegon is the latest measurable snow on record there
2006: A small weak tornado, determined to be a “landspout” moved through an open field near Schoolcraft in Kalamazoo County, doing no damage.

Seven people were killed.
1905: On Wednesday, May 10th, 1905, the Oklahoma Territory was struck by one of the worst natural disasters in early American history. Tornadoes pounded the southwest part of the Territory, one of which flattened the town of Snyder. The “official” death toll is listed today as 97, but the actual number of victims may never be known. One hundred years later, this single tornado remains the second most deadly in Oklahoma history.

The second F4 tornado moved from 5 miles southwest of Chester, Iowa to 4 miles northeast of Chatfield, Minnesota. One man was killed as his barn was destroyed one-mile southeast of Wykoff. A rural school was leveled 3 miles south of Chatfield as well.
The third F4 tornado moved northeast and passed about 2 miles northwest of St. Charles, Minnesota. Farms were torn up all along the track. An infant was killed, and four other people were injured in a car that was thrown 100 feet. Overall this tornado killed one person and injured 11 people.
The final F4 tornado moved across Rusk, Price, and Taylor counties in Wisconsin. Over $150,000 worth of damage resulted. An F3 tornado moved northeast across Clayton County, Iowa. At least 60 head of cattle were killed. A farmer was carried 700 feet but suffered only minor injuries.
2010: On this day, Oklahoma experienced its largest tornado outbreak since May 3, 1999. Fifty-five twisters tore through the state, including two rated EF4. The EF4 storms took three lives and injured 81 people. Ironically, both EF4 tornadoes struck Norman, Oklahoma, home of the Storm Prediction Center and the National Severe Storms Laboratory. Fourteen additional tornadoes hit Oklahoma during May 11-13. The May 10 disaster racked up insured property losses of $2 billion.
Perfect weather for mby this weekend with sun and temps in the mid to upper 70s. 2 rounds of widespread rainfall next week followed by another shot of cool air. Also looks like my area will get a nice break from severe weather for awhile but that will likely return before the end of the month.
The official H/L yesterday at Grand Rapids was 57/51 there was 0.01” of rainfall it was a cloudy day with just 2% of possible sunshine.

That also ties the record snowfall for May. It is the latest day with 1” or more of snowfall. Last year the H/L was 75/45.
There was just a trace of rain fall here in MBY yesterday and overnight. The overnight low here was 43 and the current temperature is 45 with clear skies.
