Hoosier Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Hasn't every model been at odds with each other? Granted I haven't been paying close attention. Such an anomalous system... Yeah, been a case of model mayhem. Trying to guess where the cutoff will be at any point beyond 3 days is difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Not really worried anymore... EURO looks fine to me... sure a couple of crappy days next weekend, but oh well...we just had a run of 5 70F+ days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Saints- I was looking at the wrong euro run (12z yesterday)... 0z looks a little colder for us then the 12z... i was trying to figure out why the NWS was so low on their temps this week, but i guess with all the clouds/rain around...temps will struggle. oh well..lets just get through it...and on to the next warm spell.

Hoosier Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 After days of showing a closed low drifting NE, the 0z Euro splits the energy, adding to the uncertainly. ecmwfUS_500_spd_096.gif Is the King on crack? 12z GFS not doing the split and keeping it south. It's been reasonably consistent with that so I'd probably take the Euro with a grain of salt unless it repeats its solution for another run or two.

Hoosier Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 Just looking around at some areas out west, Wichita has never recorded measurable snow in the month of May (records go back to the late 1800s). The record for latest measurable snow was just set on April 23 of this year when 0.2" fell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
