Weather Watch, 4/13/10

11:00 am – chilly but sunny this morning. Condensation clouds are forming at this hour, so I expect to be socked in this afternoon. This is a typical pattern for ridge tops, after a storm. While the rest of the week looks clear (weekend is till undecided) NOAA has this to say about next Monday-Tuesday:

“INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH THERE IS BETTER AGREEMENT FOR ANOTHER PRETTY STRONG LATE SEASON STORM BY NEXT MONDAY AFTERNOON INTO EARLY TUESDAY. THIS WOULD GIVE US ABOUT 3 STRAIGHT WEEKS OF SEEING A ROBUST LATE WINTER STORM…HAVING SEEN 1-2 INCH RAINS EASTER SUNDAY/LAST SUNDAY-MONDAY AND NOW POTENTIALLY THIS UPCOMING MONDAY. SO WERE LOCKED INTO ABOUT A ONE WEEK CYCLE WITH THESE TROUGHS.”
