CAPE Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 This is classic elevated convection associated with the stalled boundary, with warm air riding up and over the colder air at the surface(isentropic lift). If you look at the soundings you can see the temp inversion, which indicates the front in the vertical. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Holy moly, my area is NOT missing this round - absolute deluge at the moment and has been for hours in northern Balt County. Took the dogs up to the NCR trail which, not surprisingly, we had to ourselves, and standing water everywhere. Labrador heaven. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormy Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 2.54 " March total rainfall. This is only 72% of normal. A rather remarkable statistic: 8 of the past 8 Marches have been drier than normal in my area. 100% dry in March during the past 8 years!! 7 of the past 8 winters have had below normal snowfall. 87% of the time during the past 8 years, low winter snowfall precedes a dry March west of the Blue Ridge. The last wet March was 2015. During the winter of 14/15 I had above normal snowfall. Before that, March of 2014 was wet. I also had above normal snowfall for the 13/14 winter!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your study seems to give you the ability to predict March precipitation based on DJF snowfall. But... .... If you can find a way to make March (accurately) predict the following year DJF snowfall; well, that would certainly get attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually get my first sighting the 3rd week of April, and occasionally 2nd week. Looking forward to them arriving Cloudy and 57.

My research allows me to predict that whatever the hell happens in March there is a 90% chance that DJF snowfall will be below normal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
