The Weather Prediction Center's 7-day precipitation forecast shows spots with over 10.5" of rain in southern California. Which would be more than 10" above the average precipitation during the next week...

Not quite what I expected. I expected less cloud cover over the south during El Niño due to a stronger subtropical jet. But there's actually *less* cloud cover over TX and the lower Mississippi Valley during El Niño Aprils. Also maybe a bit more cloud cover over the lower Great Lakes. (2/2)

Folks have already looked at cloud cover a climatology for the 2024 solar eclipse. It looks something like this, with generally more cloud cover the farther east you go. Though now that this winter will likely be ENSO+, how does that affect the cloud cover climatology?

I used ERA5 cloud cover every 6 hours from April 1-15, 1940-2023. For the ENSO state, the February-April ONI≥0.4 is El Niño and ONI≤-0.4 is La Niña. (1/2)

This is one of the best examples I’ve ever seen of an undular #bore causing new #convection ! #radar #storms #OKWX

Moreover, the 1200 UTC #sounding shows just what one would expect in this situation: a monster capping #inversion, steep lapse rates above the inversion, and zero surface flow.

Good morning y'all

For those that weren't aware, IEMBot from Iowa State has come to the Fediverse officially. I'll leave it up to the bot maintainers whether or not they would rather continue running their own version which many of you are most likely already following.

Either way, the list of the bots maintained on the Fediverse by IA State can be found from the official site here https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/projects/iembot/#bots

I appreciate all the bot maintainers. Thanks for all y'all have done! ❤️🤗

My mom passed away at about 5:30 on Wednesday morning. In a concrete sense, I've known it was coming since about late April, when she was found to have (aggressive, it turns out) brain cancer. It still sucks. I didn't think it would come this quickly. I owe a lot to her.

Here are some of the higher 3- and 4-day rain totals you'll see around here. NOAA Atlas 14 says 7.1" at Norman in the last 4 days is ~10% chance to see here in a given year. (Probably less common in early-mid July, given it's not in our climo rainfall max of May/June.)
