Meatyorologist Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 Nice evening here, nice and unseasonably (well now seasonably) warm. Unfortunately, the GFS continues to look dry for the foreseeable future. The crippling drought will live on for at least the next week, probably much longer than that if a major (and semi-permanent) pattern change doesn't manifest itself soon enough. Yesterday brought some nice ACCAS to the skies. I'm so ready for those to substantially convect. 'Tis the season now, just need the right setup. As Tim mentioned, tomorrow could feature a sharp and interesting cold frontal passage up this way. I think lightning is firmly out of the picture due to uncomfortably low EL's and meager total CAPE, but lapse rates at around 800mb actually look fairly notable, and high humidity at the surface means LCL's will be only ~2k feet ASL. Mix in some conditional speed shear in the lower 100mb, and who the hell knows. I've been surprised before. Friday should prove to be a more substantial try for convective Spring weather, with a brisk cold lobe advecting aloft, along with moist westerlies at the surface. Glancing at some NAM soundings progged for 20z Friday over the central Sound (shown above), and lapse rates look mean for a fairly simple onshore setup at 900-650mb; consistently hovering in the 2-4°C range, even higher than that in local thermal pockets. Personally loving how separated the instability is from the cold frontal passage, meaning that we won't have to worry about clouding out or a lack of daytime heating; should be an impressive 18-24hr window for convection. Personally speaking, this setup screams lightning to me, and 'lo and behold, the Euro and the NAM both show widespread increased lightning potential over western Washington, especially in the PSCZ around 12-8pm Friday. If you're a cloud watcher, Friday will be kind to you. I have my camera charging for tomorrow. 3 Quote Weather stats for MBY Snowfall: -Total snowfall since joining: 50.25" -2018-19: 21" -2019-20: 2.5" -2020-21: 13" -2021-22: 8.75" -2022-23: 5.75" -2023-24*: 0.25" -Most recent snowfall: 0.25”; January 17th, 2024 -Largest snowfall (single storm): 8.5"; February 12-13, 2021 -Largest snow depth: 14"; 1:30am February 12th, 2019 Temperatures: -Warmest: 109F; June 28th, 2021 -Coldest: 13F; December 27th, 2021 -Phreeze Count 2023-24: 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where SST/ONI conditions warm to neutral over the warm season, followed by a return to -ENSO during the autumn. The OKW timing fits decently enough. I think El Niño is increasingly likely for 2022/23.

We’re also in the midst of a record breaking MJO event (highest phase-1 amplitude ever recorded in the month of May). Given phase-1 in A/M/J is one of the most significant PNW warm signals produced in the MJO index, the fact you haven’t gone into a full blown 2014/15 patterns speaks volumes, IMO. Funny thing is, this exact same MJO transit in July would likely be a very chilly pattern out there. Just some very unfortunate timing w/ intraseasonal waves relative to seasonal dynamics this year. But I suspect there should be a re-alignment with time, as this month wears on. It isn’t until Aug/Sep that a more organic/low pass warm signal manifests out there, in my opinion.

In fact there are (slightly) more days with cooler than average 850mb temps vs warmer over the last month. And yeah, that pattern is bliss. Just a shame it coincides with final exams, or I’d be outside 6+ hours per day.
