There are several caveats to this thinking:
1.) population increase has lead to more water usage.
2.) if the snow melts off too fast, it will just wash through the surface collection systems (dams, levees, etc.)
We really need a ''normal'' spring.
Looks like the pacific jet will flex it's muscles again. We are about a month out from climo peak of snow cover out west. Hopefully they can build on the snowpack for out west and mitigate the summer drought/wildfire risk.
Plant in December, cover generously with straw. Cut off the first set of skanes that appear. Let the leaves go brown after that but harvest before the stem withers. Use a fork if the ground is hard. Let dry in a shaded, dry space for a week. Cut and clean as appropriate.
Once the mesonet stations go in this year, we'll have better access to identifying mesoscale features and supporting warn-on (hopefully!) processes. Really exciting times coming locally to summer weather lovers.
Visible satellite shows low level clouds trying to work southwest along the NJ and DE coasts. This might be an inkling into a back door cold front trying to work down towards Baltimore/Philly/Delmarva. But surface observations show a broad southwest flow at the surface which may limit it's extent. Looks like the HRRR and RAP beat the NAM on how far north the warm sector would advance today. Let's go for 80 degrees!
Hardnecks are the best. My wife is sicilian so we make our own tomato sauce and when combined with home grown garlic, it makes for one of the best meals you'll ever have. We cannot go back to store brought garlic.
Big differences for tomorrow temp-wise. NAM keep areas north and east of the Susquehanna River socked in with fog in the low 50s. HRRR gets every SW of Philly well into the warm sector.
