I think I can make it out.  As usual with these snow maps, it is probably way underdone.  ️ 

[MossMan]

Oh and I had a layer of pollen on my truck this morning.

Yep. I have heard some people reporting the start of allergy season for them. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Allergy season is no fun, especially for Jesse.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Had a low of 29, no pollen here.

[Phishy Wx]

Round two of Graupel

Mother Nature and the changing seasons are trolling the poor guy.

The 3km NAM has 4 distinct areas of Convergence over the next 24 hours. Clearer on the QPF map than the snowfall map.

Decent rate for a Graupel shower.  Hoping to get some of that action here later.  Up to 47F here.

The first line of showers has developed over Vancouver island and is sliding SE now.

Yeah, pollen is more of an April/May thing around here. Maybe some people here having their parking garages doubling as tropical greenhouses?

Oof. Terrible weather. Can’t wait to go to South Carolina.

One of those makes it here and that is extremely rare.

High res map from WB from 4 p.m. today through 4 a.m. tomorrow looks a little less generous.   

 

[Phishy Wx]

Convective showers seem to be training and popping up over the same areas here

[the_convergence_zone]

The CZ usually cranks up around 4 or 5, just give it time. 

[AlTahoe]

Very cool

 

 

[LowerGarfield]

I'm across the street from KLWS in Lewiston for my wife's orthopedic appointment and getting a good graupel shower outside. 1400 ft elevation I think.

The cottonwood pollen is terrible here for about 7-10 days, usually in the first week or so of June at my location.

My allergies are usually at their worst in late May/early June. Although I’ve heard some people can have them hit as early as MLK day in their heat lamp gardens.

The Junipers start in March here. I didn’t have an allergy to them when I moved here, but I’ve developed one so I don’t look forward to it, fortunately can get relief by heading up into the mountains.

Yep. Junipers start early here too. Also some alder starting up.  I am not having any allergies but Jesse might not realize that not everyone suffers from allergies at the same time and to the same allergens

This wasn’t too far from where I am.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Just had a snow shower here at port orchard, 43 degrees!

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

When the upper levels and mid layer is cold they could care less what the temp is near the ground.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

47F and light showers.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

That Thursday-Saturday period looks great up here. Finally got some sticking snow at home with the last shower. 

[T-Town]

Somethings brewing here. Looks more ominous in the photo than in real life though.

A little dry air near the surface helps too.
