One more North wind UL day. Planable conditions in the PM, probably
7.5/13 from about 3 PM on. Looks pretty steady, but watch for a stray rain shower.
Rush should be a little stronger PM.
Tomorrow looks like a South switch for some good conditions at DC,
and Weds looks like premium conditions for ice cream brain freeze at
Sulfur.

p.s. don't forget the opening social at RM pizza tomorrow.

What's up with the nasty westerly cant to all the northerlies at Rush this year? Even yesterday had a lot of west to it. Everything I saw, looked like straight north, or even north east.
I know you can't fix it for us (yet). But what's going on?
I also heard we are switching between El nina and La nina (or whatever), and makes forcasting a trickier thing. Probably more of a long range thing than you/we do.

I wish I had a definitve answer, but I really am not sure. There are a
couple of things different this year. The fronts seem to be coming in
more from the West than from the North. Probably good for DC (The day before), but not
so good for Rush (the day after) (maybe we could have South Mountain removed ;*) )
The fronts seem to be riding on a fairly Westerly Jet Stream over Utah this year. Does this make a
difference? Well, I'd certainly guess the Jet has an impact, but yesterday
the Jet was pretty North, and we still got a nasty West cant to the wind.
It's WNW at UL right now. From the pressure bars, I'd have guessed
NNW.
I suspect we're stuck in this pattern for Spring though. If we lived in
Florida, I'd be concerned about an increase in Atlantic hurricanes
(since El Nino surpresses them). Here, I think we might just get a little
less rain.
