Substantial drought relief rains en-route?

How 'bout that 80 mph speed limit south of I-70 on I-15? Fun. Makes Zion closer. How was the water situation around Zion? I imagine it's nice and green for now.

LOL yeah. But 80 doesn't even feel fast on those roads. Yeah its nice and green, there was still some left over snow too, especially up in the Kolob canyon's area. Not sure if the upper elevations got any snow last weekend at Zion, but Bryce definitely did as there was still plenty left. We had to turn around on one of the trails due to snow obstructing the trail...can't really risk slipping on those trails or that could be the end of you...lol. We didn't exactly have proper gear to be hiking through snow.

PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES BETWEEN 1 AND 1 AND A HALF INCHES ARE IN

PLACE ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND FOR 24 TO 36 HOURS BEGINNING 12Z

SUNDAY. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT WE HAVE MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE

IN A WIDESPREAD TWO TO THREE INCHES OF RAIN WITH SOMEWHAT LOWER

CONFIDENCE IN AREAS OF THREE TO FIVE INCH AMOUNTS. EXPECT THIS TO

BE GENERALLY A GOOD SOAKING RAIN...WITH PERIODS OF HEAVIER RAIN

EMBEDDED ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN WHERE UPSLOPE IS MORE

OF A FACTOR. WHILE WE EXPECT PERIODS OF SHOWERS FROM SUNDAY THROUGH

TUESDAY...OUR BEST SHOT AT WIDESPREAD RAINFALL IS SUNDAY NIGHT

THROUGH MONDAY. NOT EXPECTING ANY WIDESPREAD FLOODING AT THIS

TIME...JUST SOME URBAN/POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING IN ANY HEAVIER

RAINFALL THAT OCCURS.

So--is it foolhardy to put down any grass seed before this? I suppose some fertilizer wouldn't be a bad idea........

Bummed I'm going to be driving to Jersey City Sunday night. I prefer to be home during any storms.

18z GFS shifted a bit with the QPF and dumps areas further east now. More of a general 2-3" rain with almost 6" on the srn Maine coast. 3-5" from the Berks east to the Cape.

I don't believe this event will "bust the drought", but should certainly dent it...

it's almost as though those Phase of the MJO lagged on the pattern.. We're moving into Phase 3 now and the pattern is better correlated to the 8. interesting

It is weaker amplitude in phase 3 right now, so could be the residual forcing around the dateline is more prevalent in the pattern characteristics.

One thought that has crossed my mind is the tendency for more destructive interference between shortwaves this past winter. This would tend to support less phasing this weekend, and the trough maturing later / further northeast. Not sure how much this has translated into the spring though.

I'm seeing signs of very heavy rains in a short period of time on the pseudo triple point as it passes through SNE. You can see this in some of the QPF fields that really hammer cstl NH and Maine. Basically the low stalls and begins to occlude and send a weak triple point signature into SNE. It's enough to really generate convergence and wring out a ton of moisture. While the global models don't show it, there also may be little mini lows that try to rip north as well. The NAM has it and not completely buying that, but something to watch. It doesn't really mean much..just something of note.

Phil and I talked about this yesterday. I was out digging for a planting today, rock hardpack soil, hope we get some softening sheet drizzle prior to the heavy rains.
