Best forcing comes through late night and most models dissipate convection as it reaches the area. GFS has a shortwave come through monday afternoon though that may spark some storms.

Hurricane Agnes Posted May 19, 2022 Author Share Posted May 19, 2022 My latest stats were a final Tues. high of 80, a low of 52 and high of 73 yesterday, and a rainy low of 55 this morning that netted me 0.79". Sun didn't come out until this afternoon and the temp did eventually start to recover after being in 50s/60s all morning. Looks like my high is in the books at 76 today and it's currently sunny and 74 with a dp that did kick up today with that rain, and is sitting at 65.

So while I certainly was not expecting to see 90's in the weekend forecast earlier this week, I guess it's not a significant outlier. Oh well, time to test the AC again.

We have a warm front draped just north of the region, with an approaching potent MCV... boy it *could* be quite the severe weather day.

I just went for a little jaunt in my new car, came back and found out that it will fit in my garage even though the garage is full of projects. Then it started downpouring. Not seeing any rotation in the velocity scan though, but there are hints of hail in the regular returns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
