Knocked temp back to 44 There are some possible thundershowers around but surprised to see real hail. Are we going to count this as snow on May 8th for the second year in a row?

Are we going to count this as snow on May 8th for the second year in a row? It's very cold aloft today with 850mb temps a couple degrees below zero, 700mb temps around -10C and 500mb nearly -30ºC over the commonwealth...which is quite significant. Combine that with the strong May sun providing surface heating and instability and that's definitely a recipe for graupel, which would count as frozen. Technically regular hail does too, but I think considering the cold low-mid levels any frozen p-type is probably mostly graupel. Would have to see some pics if anyone gets any decent hail/graupel. There was some actual snow in some of the higher Laurel's spots this morning. Not quite the extent of last May's major cold shot, but it's certainly a pretty chilly/unsettled weekend. Also, sorry I haven't been posting too much.. I usually get pretty busy in the spring/summer months. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbler86 Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Heavy, small diameter hail/graupel here with Thunder right now. Literally a mulch topper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A week of very little action continues here - a light shower produced a whopping .03" earlier this afternoon. Otherwise, partly sunny and cool. Daughter reported heavy rain/hail in Lancaster city around 3:00pm. She said that water was running everywhere. My point and click for tomorrow/tomorrow night is down to a tenth to a quarter of an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's gotten very dark here - let's see what happens. My 7 day rain total is at .64". Compared to what you experienced last year it's a rain forest, but I know I'm way behind most on here.

That rain moving through Lancaster county right now seems like it could drop some quick pours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted May 9, 2021 Author Share Posted May 9, 2021 All of the wind we've had this year so far, and the night I install my new weather station it's as calm as it can get. There is NO wind, or even the SLIGHTEST of breezes to move the cups. The only other thing is that I can't get my barometric pressure to read on my display. Not sure if the sensor is even working at this point. For anyone interested, it's an Ambient Weather WS-2000 station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 DC’s forecast busted badly. It rained off and on all day and almost ruined our anniversary dinner but they made space for us inside. Arlington we drive into so not a big deal but still it rained and it wasn’t even forecast after 12 pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
