nwohweather Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 As an avid golfer the last 5 springs have been absolute awful. I remember when I graduated high school that I was wearing a jacket on my last day as it was only 58 and cloudy and that's really all we've had the last few years. Just cold, rainy springs. With that being said wow is it warming up very quickly. I mean I know we get these occasional warmups where temps hit 55-60 in March but it seems like they're coming weekly and at the models we'll be in the 60s all next week. That seems almost wrong to me in all honesty to see consistent 60s this early in the Spring. It definitely bodes well for multiple severe weather outbreaks across the GL/OV this year for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyhb Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I asked a question. I didn't make a statement Well, yes, if a trough like that were to translate eastward in any sort of consolidated way, you'd be looking at trouble of all sorts, in all kinds of places.

Yeah. Whether the EURO comes to fruition or not, it sure does look like there will be plenty of severe weather to go around this spring... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhb Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 But, I mainly just posted that for the lolz because you rarely see a 516/510 height contour off the west coast of Washington and Oregon in March... FWIW: There is some impressive agreement amongst the GFS ensembles for something during this time period as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brettman320 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Good god, the warmth these models is showing is almost unbelievable. It's actually somewhat unsettling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 The ECMWF has been due for a meltdown. Are you saying the the Euro is like a woman at....you know....THAT time? It's probably on to something, maybe just not that extreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmc76 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 HA the grounds cover! 68 one day then 2 days later 1" snow on the ground. Thats why winter in Michigan is never over until May 1st Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartyOn Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Hmmm, Euro ensembles on board as well, I'm starting to become slightly more intrigued. The more you look at that, the more u see how spooky of a set-up it could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I remember one of the met guys from Accuwx years ago (not Joe mentioned that the early season warm ups can over perform because the trees lack leaves. Something about sunlight being able to penetrate through the canopy and warm the ground... The whole GFS run was mild this morning...could be frost free for quite some time.

SpartyOn Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Well this might be the last +SN squall I see until next Nov. won't be missed. More stat padding today. Wet snow squalls are good for at least a few tenths of an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mississaugasnow Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 woke up under a snowsquall warning. grass is snow covered and it looks like mid-jan out there. This is one of the most nuisance snows though since it was 57F two days ago and in two days the temperatures will be almost 60F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of temperatures would that translate to in the lower elevations? Some snow probably?... Chilly day today. Temperatures still hanging near freezing.

daddylonglegs Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 12z GFS looks about perfect...Monday-Fri ...At least 3 of those days should hit 70F ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 12z Euro is pure craziness for mid March. Assuming a surge of moisture with clouds and showers next weekend doesn't knock back the temps, the Euro suggests for high temps from Tuesday through the following Monday... 70,75,75,75,75,75,75. That's insane. The nice change on the 12z Euro is it has lifted the midweek shortwave farther north into Canada so the thermal ridge doesn't get beat back southward at all. The GFS still has it farther south so we get a cooldown into the 60s Thursday(pretty funny to say "cooldown" when it's still 20 degrees above average) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
