Meatyorologist Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 19 hours ago, Phil said: Possibly, yes. That’s a pretty typical WPAC MJO pattern and manifests quite consistently under the phase 6-8 transit at this time of year. Which is precisely what we have upcoming. I suspect we’ll diverge from 2013 more frequently as time progresses, though. That was a WPAC-centric low pass summer, while 2021 has more of an IO-IPWP low pass (though intraseasonal cycle appears dominant still, so it’s not a strong hold by any means). 2013 would be an ideal outcome for sure, or at least something similar. That summer was rife with progressive ridges, and consequently plenty of thunderstorm setups on their back ends. Someone call me out if this is wrong, but I'm pretty sure 2013 had the most monsoonal moisture advected into the region since either 2006 or 1997. August/Sept boasted an uncharacteristic combination of both anomalous moisture and warmth. Sept 5th of that year is a memory dear to me. 1 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...

We had a moderate-heavy band sit over us for awhile...in a break now but it won’t last long. Might get close to an inch of rain today or over if we keep getting hit by these heavy downpours.

snow_wizard Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 It's been a remarkably nasty day here today with strong gusty winds earlier and now a long duration downpour, with the daily total approaching an inch. We also had some brief very heavy showers with hail earlier. I'm pretty surprised there was no thunder. The current temperature is also fairly remarkable at 49 degrees. It appears tomorrow night and maybe Saturday night may be our last legit shot at lows in the 30s in some places. Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

Chewbacca Defense Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 We just ticked over on .5", which I believe was on the high end of projections for my area. While looking at my weather data for the day, its interesting to see how the air quality completely tanked when an army of 4-5 city workers with weedwhackers showed up to clear the storm water pond behind my house. And they had very high powered models based on all the racket they were making. Just looking at the weather for Hot-lanta next week, and it could certainly be worse....lower 80's with the classic "scattered thunderstorms" towards the end of next week. Just enough heat (and humidity of course) to remind me why sought out northern climates.

TT-SEA Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 At least the 00Z GFS was more progressive with the troughing in the mid range compared to its previous runs. That is more in line with the EPS which nudged the offshore ridge inland after the trough passes.
