TalcottWx Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Is everything blossoming in your area already? Green grass, cherry blossoms? Some stuff is. I dont know what to call the plants though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Some stuff is. I dont know what to call the plants though. We have snow drops coming up here (little white buds). No sign of the cherry blossoms in our front yard yet. Lawn is still pretty barren. -About to look at the HRRR. I fully expect to see a decent line of stuff going barely to my south.

North Balti Zen Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Cloudy cool and rainy up this way. Not really the ingredients one wants early for potential storms. I guess maybe the warm front will clear it out a bit? In any event, good luck chasing to the south Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmlwx Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Too wet for fire weather imo Yeah, LWX had stated that the potential for showers this AM was a potential failing factor for the fire threat. I woudl think the fire threat is lower...but with all the wind, even with higher moisture it will not take much to spread a fire. Not red flag warning criteria though perhaps.
