Itstrainingtime Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 WPC 5 day QPF - more north and west of the LSV. Honestly, these totals aren't as high as I what I expected them to look like: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No - as a long time pass holder, the benefit of low crowds is erased when it's wet AND cold. Unless you're coming for a few hours early in the day, I wouldn't chance it. Just my opinion. I like to go when I think most won't, but I've been there on enough miserable days to know when to say when. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbler86 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Seems trends try to bring temps back up to normal or above around May 15th. So may be a warm last 15 days of Spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the extent that the GFS (or really anything beyond D10) can be trusted, the last couple runs continue to double down on the extent of the cold after the warmup. Then again, there were quite a few GFS runs that I remember painting a very warm, humid picture for the first half of May, 10-14 days out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itstrainingtime Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I dunno - if precip comes in early enough on Sunday, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a little sleet mixed in all the way down to the LSV. Don't know that I would expect it, but I could see it happening... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, all I can say is There's a time and place for everything, and, like November/December when it's supposed to be cold, were talking middle/late May. It's supposed to be warm...

It's supposed to be warm... In fairness - I think maybe Canderson posted this earlier in the week, but our long-term average temperatures are increasing. And while I'm sure it's frustrating when it's cold and miserable in May, we also have many mild days in November and December. Aggregately, there is more warm than cold or otherwise our long term averages wouldn't be increasing. As a cold weather nut - I'm with you on this. I was really enjoying the 60s and 70s and wish honestly we'd stay right there for another 5 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Edit, I just remembered bust...going to still have rain in the area. That does make mid 30's tomorrow AM even more impressive though with little radiational effects.)

I can give April a push as other than green grass most of the woody plants are bare. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
