Wait till someone throws out highs in the 60s in July as perfect summer weather . 60-65F seems like perfect spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazey Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Man the GFS run makes me want to stab my eyes with a rusty fork. What a hideous long range look. I guess the good thing is that model hasn’t been right at that timeframe all season. Gawd though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Late summer usually ends in September or early Oct., when we head into early winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This evening cleared up right at 3-4pm and the late day light means a lot of extra time in the day. It's crazy that the entire time I was out hiking and skiing this evening, it is pitch black dark in December at that time (5-6pm). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#NoPoles Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 The weather forecasts for the Nashville area have not been accurate at all. Im wondering if the models are struggling for this area or the meteorologists down here just are subpar compared to New England. We had 2 unforecasted frosts. The forecasted high temps have been way off. 2 weeks ago we hit the upper 80s, almost 90 and that was way underforecasted, and the convection forecasts have been crap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ineedsnow Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Congrats paul! An additional concern for Friday night will be the combination of the triple point low, marginal surface based instability with temps/dew points in the mid and upper 50s in the warm sector, accompanied by strong low level and deep layer shear. This may support a few rotating storms but will likely remain elevated given lack of surface based instability. Nevertheless will have to watch how this evolves with later model runs.

Shut 'em down July 4th with libations and fireworks celebrations, then it's summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxmanmitch Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 A one, two punch of snow for here this weekend? We take! Backside flip to snow and upslope with storm #1 and then a cold slider on Sunday for storm #2? That would pretty wild if I had snow on snow at this time of year...but then again it happened last year on 4/30. Glad we live here. Anyway, the lawn has been raked of winter detritus. No black flies yet FTW. There's a slight hint of green in my grass in the warmer, sunnier spots right up against the house but most of it is still dormant, which is a far cry from the valleys where they are mowing already. Some of the red maples have begun to flower, but most of the trees still look like winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 20 hours ago, tamarack said: Bears in New England generally breed every 2nd year, and mama usually chases off the 2-yr-olds before going into hibernation and dropping the next litter. I think boar bears are bigger even as cubs. My most thrilling wildlife memory was one September when I walked up on 3 bears, mama and a pair of 2nd-year cubs, chowing down in the tops of 2 beech trees. I'd stopped in an awkward position, and after 10 minutes of their chomping and breaking branches, I slowly sat. Not slowly enough - mama caught the movement and came down the tree atop speed - reminded me of lumberjack events where the contestants race up a pole, ring the bell, and are timed when they hit the ground. Mama launched from about 15' and hit the ground running. My only danger would've been if she'd forgotten where I was and trampled me. I could hear her crashing away for a couple minutes. Cub #1 followed her, #2 climbed 15' into another tree and perched on a large branch. I walked to right under it, but had to leave after a few seconds because its whining was unbearably (pun intended) piteous. Given the season and those cubs' size, I suspect mama never tried to get back to them. At least black bears aren't protective of their cubs like grizzlies. I'd still be cautious intruding. 8 hours ago, HIPPYVALLEY said: Models struggling to handle the transition into grand solar minimum? How's that progressing?

dendrite Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Hopefully the wedge verifies a little more south and convection can rob some of the mid level moisture from making it up here. I’d like to verify on the low end of these 1-2” model runs. We were just finally drying out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first heavy shower this morning resulted in instant puddles and mud. Rivers have stayed high and murky. Hopefully we can transition to a ridge pattern. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
