Ginx snewx Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I think we are about 7-10 inches below normal precip this year, not sure though, all I know is the soil is nearing bone dry Driest warmest start to a year ever, historic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian5671 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Driest warmest start to a year ever, historic. WSJ had an article today to that affect too...it did say that it doesnt guarantee a hot summer though - I'm going TORCH for the summer though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian5671 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Looks like we may finally get some water here perhaps next week and beyond. Good Luck with that--seems the longer range threats either fade or grossly underperform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Good Luck with that--seems the longer range threats either fade or grossly underperform. All it means is that with troughing in the east...it could happen. It's not like we have a furnace death ridge. There are other things at play too..like MJO forcing that may actually try and help for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to believe it will not but it's been persistent phail since Halloween. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I don't mean just next week because next week could be cold and dry, if that low does retrograde and keep NW flow..lol. It very well may happen.

It very well may happen. The week of the 11th looks very troughy with possible GOM moisture. IDK if it pans out but teleconnections would say yes, persistence says no way.

It very well may happen. I sure as heck hope we get rain snow whatever, you think its getting dry now, wait till leaf out, that robs soil moisture in a big way.

IDK if it pans out but teleconnections would say yes, persistence says no way. If next week is a fail, then as the warm tries to surge in, it could be accompanied by rain. You usually don't get warm surges in from the SW, and no rain this time of year...or any time of year for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These low dewpoints and wind are just a killer right now Funny I was thinking about uptake and EVT today. The hydro situation on main rivers and stems is 10-25 % of normal, once uptake kicks in it will be crazy. Not having mountain snowmelt is huge even as far away as down here. Just looking at the rivers and ponds in my area it's disheartening to think what things will look like once green up happens if we continue dry.

Nice it was chilly today working outside until the wind died. Dry as hell doing yard work. Yesterday at softball practice was a dust storm.

These low dewpoints and wind are just a killer right now From a selfish standpoint I'm all for desert dry because it will keep the tick (and mosquito) populations in check. I've seen no ticks this week after an epic number the past few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherMA Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 45.7/18, high of 58F under completely clear skies. Once the wind died down it was an amazing day out there. Looks like a little warmer tomorrow with low-mid 60s before a cool down back to average (mid 50s) and then back into the 60s for the weekend. Pretty nice!

Good points...but all of the troughs this year have had little or nothing with them--amazing actually...you would think one of them would deliver something.

Yeah it's not a lock, but eventually persistence forecasting loses out. If next week were to fail, it's because the low retrogrades and we are left with little precip on the nw side. Maybe the week after does better as warmer air tries to return. Still don't see anything imminent at the moment... just the pattern possibly allowing for something to occur over the next couple of weeks.

For the first time, I have a decent work out routine, and I'm strong, but not gaining the bulk that I want to yet for the bulk you want add low glycemic carbs preferably before evening.....and/or you can add carbs with higher Glycemic index values within 60 minutes of a hard weight workout (when glycogen stores are low) this is if you want to add Lean "bulk". good sources of low glycemic carbs are yams/sweet potatoes/ezekial break/ezekial pasta /pinto beans/butter beans/kidney beans/garbanzo beans/oat bran and go for 1g of protein per pound of bodyweight with near a gallon of water a day. and yes i train people for a living (part time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
