Rubus Leucodermis Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 9 minutes ago, Rubus Leucodermis said: The Alaska town I'd like to visit sometime is Whittier. Access is via a shared road/rail tunnel. Most of the town lives in a single multistory building. Hyder would also be fun. Access via Canada. No road access to the rest of Alaska. Phones in town have Canadian numbers because all utilities come via Canada as well. No customs check to enter Hyder because what can you do but return the way you came. But there is a Canadian customs station going the other way because residents of nearby Stewart BC were using Hyder PO boxes to dodge import duties. 2 Quote It's called clown range for a reason.

Cascadia_Wx Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 12z GEFS looks pretty manageable with the ridge. I do notice there are still a handful of members that want to break it down very quickly. Quote Summer grows while Winter goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do notice there are still a handful of members that want to break it down very quickly. Very good model consensus for a good torch at the onset, though. Quite the strong signal this far out. Of course the signal gets fuzzy eventually. Almost always does. And don't worry, based on climo there is sure to be another cold trough lurking just around the corner. What we are seeing is merely the opening act of the traditional spring tease. 1 Quote It's called clown range for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sure you aren’t freaking out about the seasons turning. You seem a little on edge today. I really don’t want to write a manifesto on my preferences every other day, but I love spring and summer. It would just be nice not to sit under a stagnant ridge all warm season and choke on smoke and drought. I’m sure you already know I feel this way. It’s not an unreasonable desire. The 50s and rain all summer thing is just strawman crap The upcoming ridge will be fine I’m sure, and despite all the mischaracterizations I will be out enjoying the weather just as much as anyone. It would be nice if it wasn’t a harbinger of our warm season pattern, though. Although judging by how things have gone in recent years, it may be. 2 Quote Summer grows while Winter goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

April-June are great rain producing months. With the Nino collapse I'm sure we will do okay.

I am also in a location that doesn't "bake" like most of you due to moderation from the strait.

Frontal Snowsquall Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 6 hours ago, Phil said: WxBell has added the ECMWF AIFS. Runs 4X/day and goes out to 360hrs. Interested to see how it performs compared to the operational ECMWF HRES and EPS. 5 hours ago, Phil said: The AIFS is already out on tropicaltidbits and pivotal too. It looks like the upgraded EURO AI version is already better than the IFS and GraphCast. It has the highest 500 hPa anomaly correlation scores and the lowest root-mean-square error for 2 m temperatures. https://www.ecmwf.int/en/about/media-centre/aifs-blog/2024/first-update-aifs 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
