We have arrived to the time of year where medium range is taken with a grain of salt. Way too much going on and we're throwing into the seasonal transition into the background mix. Certainly some potential for some unseasonable warmth next week when looking aloft but looking at the llvl and sfc configuration...lots of caution flags. This isn't to say we don't sneak in a very mild day or two but I wouldn't hold my breath right now

do Cheeze Its count?

Pretty "loud" outside with the popping noises and melting. Very eerie too with the dense fog. It's like something out of Scooby Doo

60 days to go!!! Down to one final full month to get through

Saw that...interesting

1000%.

yup. It is ridiculous though how the media tries to hype and tie everything into climate change...not every single sensible weather event is product of cc or can even be tied into cc. Anytime there is a flood, drought, tornadoes...the media says "CC is causing it"...that is ridiculous

yup. there is a misconception that climate change means no more snow or no more cold...that is totally untrue.

Yup...looks like we may be getting a little bit of a start on severe weather season. Pretty soon we'll be seeing these classic spring bombs with severe weather ripping through the midwest and blizzards from the central Plains into the upper-Midwest

@dendrite remember the January storm you brought up Earl Baker's isentropic surface analysis page and how it isn't working? This week we happen to be going over isentropic analysis (which is completely blowing my mind away, especially as I'm reading this 80+ page paper from the late 1980's which is pure gold) and I've been trying to find if any places provide forecasts. I came across this https://cumulus.geol.iastate.edu/ (under numerical models, forecast theta sfcs). Only has the NAM but is this similar to what Earl's page plotted? I can't remember what the plots had looked like:

good thought too

I want to say that was around the time the city started to experience it's development boom (well before the 70's) but would be a reasoning to explain the rapid increase in overnight mins (urban heating)...very similar to that of Las Vegas

gotta pin the May 1st thread, getting awfully hard to find it every morning to update the countdown

I believe there was a special weather statement
