The position of the ridging based on the SSTA assumptions probably won’t allow for too many outbreaks of extreme heat. Above normal rainfall with some possible tropical moisture (based on an active hurricane season and position of the ridging) looks reasonable.

Typhoon Tip Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Looks like anyone below ~ 700 f elevation went < 32 last night. Definitely a drainage factor with that surface high cresting directly overhead/thru the area over night. Interestingly ..the 850 mb turned continental prior to dawn, and will be above 0 C across the entire area by mid afternoon. We are not likely to mix the BL to that adiabatic depth, but... 900 is also in the +6 to +4 range ( SW-->NE), over WSW flow and > 70% sun ... Today should have some bangin' diurnal recovery.. I'm wondering if we may even approach 35 F in some cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I think we're close to schedule here. April is running about 2° AN but w/o real warmth, just no cold, though we had 22 this morning, tied for month's coldest. Coldest daily mean this month is 35 and if that stands (10-to-1 it will) it would be the least cold for April's coldest in 24 years here. (4/99 bottomed at 34.5 so it's close.) Just a mini record but shows the lack of cold. Quaking aspen male catkins are fully formed, red and silver maples blossomed last week and the petals now litter the ground. Willow buds are open with some bits of green. Oak, sugar maple, ash, basswood remain at midwinter form, which is normal for the date. It's been a windy month so far but I don't know whether/how that affects spring phenology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 I hope we don't have to deal with a persist cyclone like we did the first few months of last spring/summer but it keeps popping up on models.

Not fake there Expand I've noticed that folks aren't very mindful of the importance of elevation relative to surrounding environments....at the end of the day, that is the determining factor with respect to radiation; not absolute elevation. If you are at 1000' elevation and surrounded by 1500' topography, you are still going to radiate. Not saying that is the case per se at Beckett, though it maybe more nuanced. This is why elevated valleys are prime spots for retention....best of both worlds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
