weatherwiz Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Every single model source has all of those stupid freaking pathetic piece of garbage snowfall maps (which are then tailored to just spit out ridiculous snowfall amounts) but the only model sources I can find which provide lightning density forecasts are either from the HRRR or on Ryan Maue's page with the euro. Algorithms and such exists which can be used to forecast potential lightning production BUT ALL THESE MODEL PLACES JUST CARE ABOUT THE DAMN SNOWFALL MAPS. ITS RIDICULOUS. Who gives a flying monkey about some basic calculation to provide a snow output...yeah b/c snowfall totals are dependent on some stupid fixed variables and some basic crap.

Expand Was trying to remember which building that was in. Was it Washburn or Edwards? I was doing the forecast one early morning with Steve Cascione when we saw an arctic front with squalls coming in. Temps dropped about 30 degrees and there was a whiteout across the quad. Fun times!

powderfreak Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Rained up until about 2-3pm but now a sweet evening with late day sun. Some trees just popped with small leaves pretty much overnight. The beginning has arrived... still looks a lot like stick season but there's some light green on the crowns in spots down in town now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowedin Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Gorgeous day here but now all of the sudden ants and may flies are everywhere!

dendrite Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Yeah lots of leaves perked up over the last 24hrs. My tulip poplar is leafing out and the shagbark buds are swelling and ready to go. Unfortunately it looks like the wet stretch has taken out 3 of my american chestnut trees....one is definitely dead. Another is showing early signs of blight, but is still trying to leaf out. The 5th one (driest spot) looks the best. 53/50 now and clearing out after 0.06” rain with the front. Should be a nice next 36-48hrs with sun and low dews.

People would rather have 55/30 sunny days than 62/48 garbage where it's only near the high for about 2 hours and then it rains and we wetbulb down to 50F for the majority of the time.
