Ohh... did you miss all the back-handed comments for which I am returning the favor?   I will 100% participate... given its the person who dishes it out like no other.    

I saw comments sure, but nothing like what you are and have been doing as of late....

Yeah... like that PDX comment above.   Just out of control.    Save yourself the effort.

Umm, a personal opinion on the temp observation at a weather station....  that bothers you.... thats really weird man.

 

And this takes no effort, you write the script.

More snaps of Americana. It was 93 when we went through Mesquite, NV.

Every post you make is so ironic.

Ended up with a 68/46 day here. Partly to mostly cloudy skies, with clearing again late afternoon.

Nice sunset down by the Columbia, and even saw a painted turtle.

Every post you make lately is hypocritical, so there's that.

I will 100% play ball with the person who dishes out non-stop on here and has for years.   Nothing hypocritical about that.   I am literally stating what I am doing.

But you have been doing the same thing for years...... so are we talking about you or someone else.... or are you just gonna continue to pretend you don't do the things you do......  is there a manual that you wrote that explains why it is ok for you to act in a certain way but someone else can't.  Just stop man, you are fighting something that doesn't need to be fought, you are older than me and that should say something... just saying....

Stop what?  I will always respond to passive-aggressive back-handed BS.   Sorry man.

Ahh, so you are petty, got it.  Glad we worked that out, have peace in your pettiness.

Thanks!   Peace to you too.

GFS and GEM look quite similar for next week.

[Front Ranger]

[TT-SEA]

Maybe warmer here than most of Texas by late next week?

Literally the least droughty CA has ever been on those maps, at least that I've seen.

I imagine the abnormally dry in far Eastern CA gets most of their rains with the monsoons?

[Meatyorologist]

The 00z GFS is actually a little further south again with the trough and brings some convective showers back to Seattle with lows in the mid 30s. Hopefully it's the start of a last minute trend.

[The Blob]

I've been keeping track of the weather here in a colorful way

 

[Meatyorologist]

'Nuther nudge south on the 06z. It even gives our pal in North Bend some late season magic...

[Meatyorologist]

Could squeeze out a subfreezing low Wednesday morning. Timing is perfect.

[TT-SEA]

SSTA map shows the disappearance of the warmest anomaly zone over the Nino regions and that soon might be one of the only areas with cooler than normal anomalies.

Might be a resolution issue on those maps.  But I do think frost is definitely possible on Wednesday morning.  Here was the 10-day snow total per the 00Z ECMWF.

Both El Niño and La Niña are good. Global warming is the true enemy.

La Niña aids and abets global warming via oceanic heat uptake, so if we’re being honest, La Niña = bad. (If you don’t believe me, look at CERES radiative flux data, the system absorbs more than it emits in niña years).   

It’s not a coincidence the Medieval Warm Period (and warm cycles before it) were La Niña dominated.

Chilly morning, low of 39. 

[Rubus Leucodermis]

Low of 37.5˚F IMBY this morning.

Work?  Are you no longer living my retirement dream?  I don’t recall signing off.  

Helping some folks out through New Hope church. it’s  a program called Neighbor to Neighbor. I love it and a cool way to give back in our world although I think I receive much more from the experience.  Meet lots a people this way as well. Yesterday the gal we helped brought out lemonade and undercooked brownies ( gooey and yummy ). Lol, I came to enjoy the John Deer tractor visiting me as it brought gifts !!! Blessed to be able to do this as well. 
I will be hitting the road soon for a storm chasing adventure though!!!!

Someday when work slows down and the kids are a little older I want to do a 2 week camping trip To Utah. These drive bys don’t really do it justice. 

[TT-SEA]

12Z GFS is definitely more troughy next week... trend towards ridging appears to be reversing again.  

[Cascadia_Wx]

Hazy high clouds and pretty mild morning here with a temp of 54 after a low of just 46. Don’t even need to look at anything to know that PDX should easily exceed 75 today

God, another “surprise” 70 at PDX today. We’re already racking them up and it’s not even mid April  

I didn’t think they got out of the 60s but yeah they made it. We got more daytime peak heating now with the later sunsets. First 8pm sunset of the year coming on Wednesday.

Because it's Andrew, master troll. No coincidence it was first either.

Though to be fair, just about anywhere rural those signs are undeniably part of Americana now.

Awesome!  Looks like fun!  I like doing that type of stuff and I hope I will be able to do more in the coming years.  Right now it's all about catching up on deferred projects on my own house.

Hopefully the tables turn in May/June and we can go at least a couple weeks without you posting a 7-day for no reason.

MAGA.

Sunny here currently.

[Cascadia_Wx]

One small point of interest today is that there could be some wrap around storms over the Cascades and maybe even the foothills this evening, east of Portland.

Shave about ten degrees off the highs and five off the lows and this would be a decent April pattern.
