wxdude64 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 NWS Blacksburg has Freeze Watch up for my area Sunday night/Monday morning. Calling for mid 20's to mid 30's. Glad my 'maters are still in house. Took a ride up to airport this afternoon, trees still not out up there, above 3700 foot understory and ground cover is out but not the larger trees. Watching the rain roll in from up there is really cool, as you can watch mountain chain after mountain chain disappear as the rain reduces visibility.

Bob Chill Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Starting to look like this is the last shot of cool, dry, continental air for a while. Today and tomorrow are 10's. It's all down hill from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Best spring ever. Pretty much every weekend has been killer. It is going to be funny when we finish 0 to +1 for MAM and everyone talks about how frigid spring was. Awesome spring. Right now running about -1.3 here for the period. Would have to average about 4.5 above the rest of the way to get the 3 month above zero, which is entirely possible. Just a little concerned about tomorrow night. Forecast keeps getting lower. Probably won't do much damage at 30-31 unless it's there for a long time, which I doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 yeah baby I think you guys are in good shape coming up. Models have been pretty good with h5 in the lr lately. The last cutoff and this cool down we're in now was sniffed out pretty well even @ d10+. It's almost expected to flip to an ec ridge this time of year. Especially on the heels of such a stretch of overall aob temps. Take lots of pics of the supercells and ef4's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially on the heels of such a stretch of overall aob temps. Take lots of pics of the supercells and ef4's. Yeah.. I'm cautiously optimistic. Just gut feelings based on what the pattern has looked like makes me think we've gotta go the other way at least for a while. Ensembles were sniffing something out here and there but the ops all seem to be going toward some period of more western troughing.. tho something like the Euro might keep the axis a bit east of prime territory after any weekend event. Would be nice to run into a big day or two right off the bat. Weekend might have the most potential of the season which isn't necessarily saying much.

Ian Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 GFS 300 hour forecasts work out well in winter. models are usually pretty good at sniffing out a ridge. plus without looking at models you can bank on a ridge around memorial day. im not booking it yet.. things have been extra chaotic past d5-7 recently.. but i think there's probably more warmth relative to norm than not ahead in the coming weeks.

FrederickWX Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 With the wind, it's cold out there tonight. My daughter is doing a photography project outside, and we're all in jackets and coats. Crazy. Glad it's going to warm up. Looking forward to 70s and 80s later this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 after the next 2 days, we will have to average around +3.5 from May 15-31 to get to even for MAM...GFS is pretty bullish on heat....euro not so much by this weekend...my fear is we get to 86-88 this week and me and you start to wilt and melt What's DCA running as of today in terms of below normal? I don't know if we can do it here, but if we pull a neg this month, that's 6 of the last 9 below normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I'm looking forward to one last night with lows in the 30's. This has been one of the best springs I can remember. I enjoyed mowing the lawn today. Warm sun and no sweat. Maybe we catch a break this summer and keep the 95+ days to a minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That long range east coast ridge isn't looking too spiffy on the long range 18z GFS. The longer we can go without heat, the less time between us and September. Only 40 days until that sun starts its trek back down too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Time will tell bit I think the odds are really stacked towards a stretch of +10 highs or more coming up in a week or so. I have a feeling the globals are starting to key in on a lw pattern shift towards sw flow and humid heat to close out May. Maybe we get lucky with a backdoor front and ne flow but I'm pretty sure the delightful airmass we have now is the last one for a while. Maybe months.
