I thought about asking them to special order, but they have declined in the past.<br /><br />So I gave and continue to give you Pineapple Express beer in spirit.<br /><br />Any thoughts on how climate change affects these sub-tropical (near Hawaii) originating atmospheric rivers. Judging by the wetbulbzero from the NAM12, rain/snow line looks to be higher in this week's event than in last week's. Being out last Saturday it was raining hard up to about 6500 feet in the morning, and the rain/snow line looked like it got up to 7500 feet during the day, but I was at 9000 feet until 5pm. Wetbulbzero maxes at 9600 feet 8pm Thursday, which translates to a rain/snow line of about 8500 feet, maybe 1000 feet above last week.<br /><br />Your basic response on climate change has been it loads the dice for warmer wetter storms. In this case can we say anything about how climate change affects the temperature of the source airmass, Hawaii, and how that airmass cools as it travels northeast to the Wasatch. The forecast is for a rapid cool down as the cold front arrives following the atomospheric river, from Mt Baldy 27F 8pm Thurs to -7F 8am Sat.<br /><br />Could it be climate change has nothing to do w how warm this event is, it's just that the cold front arrives late. Or maybe climate change is stalling the cold front?Peter Donnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07658400081780668829noreply@blogger.com
