CAPE Posted April 1, 2021 Author Share Posted April 1, 2021 Hopefully a -NAO becomes more prevalent again in the coming years, and when it will do some good. We also need a legit Nino to go with it, if that is even possible anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about all the snow maps with at times 30 inches or more snow depicted. What a joke Para was and even EPS did poorly. Only psu got his snow. The - NAO cycle may be starting, but as you know impossible to tell. No need to even worry about what next winter will bring, until at least November. I would expect the same typical pattern warm September, warm October and then the sudden flip to colder. Looking at the Atlantic I am glad I had several trees removed. Looks like a warm Atlantic already. Once we get away from West winds the next few days and well below average air temps I look for a quick warm up for the surf zone. The SW Atlantic is above normal at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormfly Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 The cold will return when heating oil is $5 a gallon! Thank goodness for woodstoves! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baltimorewx Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Think we may have been spoiled with March with the relative dryness and warmth for the most part of the month. April is looking kinda crappy. Sun and Mon look nice but outside of that we seem to be stuck in between the blocking in the north atlantic and developing storms to our west. Kinda appears to be an overall blah pattern, maybe not a ton of rain but just dreary and chilly-ish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early Spring should offer a period similar to Fall, but all too often we switch right to 70s and humid. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but it looks like there may be a fair share of days where it is damp and dreary...caught in between those features kinda says chilly and dreary to me but I hear ya. Hopefully the storms drive up more to our northwest or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely potential for that sort of thing though going forward. Back door fronts, cut off lows, etc. 0z GGEM goes full tuck with a coastal next weekend that mostly stalls.

WxUSAF Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 My sons first baseball tournament is next weekend, so I’m giving 100% odds of rain, highs in the 40s, wind, and low stratus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm definitely ready for warmer weather...but I'm a little weird, too, in that I enjoy drizzly, onshore flow conditions for a few days at a pop, anytime of year. I was "landlocked" growing up in northern PA, and moving to this area provided new opportunities to learn how the nearby bay and ocean impact our wx....still fascinates me. I realize that most of you that grew up in this area don't find cool days with fog and heavy drizzle fascinating at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a inland SS can't be ruled out .I'm personally ready to track a strong coastal( 2-5" wind driven rain event). I've taken advantage for the most part of the 10-15 beautiful days the past month . Plenty of 50-70 sunny to go around. Eps Interesting look Ninjd I think you're one of few people who would be wishing that one in lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thanks. I still have to disagree about there being plenty of 60-70 degree days and sunny in this area but okie dokie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually kinda in his camp outside of the fantasy chasing snow when it was clear it was over. I wouldn't mind some slow moving coastal. I like exciting weather. But Im just more realistic about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about choosing to look for how it CAN happen vs how it CAN'T happen. It's a hobby after all . Why would I be involved in a hobby to just dwell on the negative. Oh I get it. I was serious...I would love a cold, cloudy day with heavy rain from a really weird coastal because I know that in about 3 weeks, I'm going to be able to walk outside for 2 minutes before I stew in ball soup. Every day. For 5 months. We can have a cold, rainy days. The warm, hot weather days more than make up for it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with chilly, drizzly days in April means we will literally flip from 55 to 85/humid. Give me sustained seasonal in April (60s/70s) and “boring”. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted April 3, 2021 Author Share Posted April 3, 2021 Today through at least Wed look awesome, with temps warming into the 60s and maybe low 70s mid week. Late next week is a bit up in the air, but we do need some rain in Spring. Again hopefully the pattern is more on the progressive side with fronts clearing the region, so we don't get multiple days of clouds and showers/drizzle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like there could be a pretty narrow area with heavy rain. Euro drops a 1” stripe through the region, but super narrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a piece of energy dropping down on the backside of the Atlantic trough as it moves out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
