87storms Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Been seeing more pockets of breaks in the clouds today than yesterday. Sun actually poked through for a few minutes here. Hopefully, any daytime heating doesn't cause too much instability/clouds the rest of the day...unless it's a thunderstorm. I'm kinda game for that. Was surprised to see it mentioned in today's forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Also, unusual looking radar right now. It's as if every popcorn cloud is capable of producing rain. I guess this is what happens when you have an anomalously cold upper level low this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonjon Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 2 hours ago, stormy said: The 3715' elevation at Canaan Heights compared to your average 3400' is elevation event on steroids with this event. Do you accept your elevation as 3400 ft., one source says 3300 and another says 3500? The town of Davis is more in the range of 3100' at the river to maybe 3200' at the top of town. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormy Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Can you imagine the summit of Spruce Knob at 4862' If I was nearby with a high clearance 4x4, I would drive up there. The road is not bad. Western Highland County Va. reported 8 inches. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, Spruce is 35 miles northeast of Snowshoe. That could make a difference and Snowshoe has been on the southern fringe of qp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Started off with a little sun, but clouds continue to filter in with that cold upper level low still hanging around (though it does feel a little nicer outside overall).

Set a new 'cool max' again, 50.7 degrees was the high, old mark was 52.0 degrees from 2004. Least we have topped yesterday as currently it is 52.5 degrees at 1 pm, oh, with cloudy skies and NNW wind at 7 gusting to 19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to get some warming of the mids. I’m ready for 80s, sun with occasional afternoon storms to track, though I’d also take 70s and clouds at this point lol.
