How bad do you all think the roads will be Monday? With missouri/illinois being probably the best cloud cover spot outside of vermont/maine, I hope it isnt too bad.

It appears this time the Arch effect is working in our favor. There was another map I saw from the NWS that showed an even smaller hole that this right over the mid-Mississippi River valley. That’s the map from yesterday. Check today’s map, they filled in the gap with clouds lol.

So it shows I’ll be under 98% of the Eclipse what would that look like? Imagine watching a movie from the parking lot, all you can hear is the bass rumble through the wall. Totality is one of the wonders of the world. More spectacular and awe inspiring than an ef5 tornado. People spend 10s of thousands of dollars and travel thousands of miles just to get the chance to experience it for a few minutes. A partial is not even close to being in the same ballpark. Definitely get there if you can. If not, hopefully we are all still around in 2045.

Wowwww looks really good for Monday now. I agree that the weather gods owe us this after the multiple miserable winters we’ve had. I’m targeting my favorite rock climbing destination in southern ill near pomona.

All eyes to Monday now. Cloud cover forecast looks much better now than it did just a few days ago, with the clouds/rain moving even further south and east. Should be an epic event. I cant wait.

Rotation seemed to lessen significantly on radar just now so that’s good

A lot could change still but mexico, texas, and arkansas look like 100% clouds for April 8th. Totally sucks for everyone who has nonrefundable reservations there. We may be in the sweet spot with partially cloudy.

Just please be clear on April 8th. That is all I ask of the weather gods. It will be a worthy exchange for the hottest february in human history.

Lol. It's been spring all winter minus 10 days. Everything has looked disgusting for winter weather lovers around here for a minimum of 2 years straight It’s been the most brutal winter I can remember. Just straight blowtorch for 90% of the time and then one week of dry cold. Couple of light dustings of snow and one weak ice storm. Hope we can overachieve tomorrow.

Relentless heat in February. Can only muster 1 below avg day until the 60s return

It's crazy that we went from a storm that dropped snow with single digit/sub zero temps a few years ago to two years of "spring like" storms in the middle of winter. Cold air or moisture. We get to pick one lol.

Mt Hood gets like 400-500 inches within an hour of Portland. Here there is really no escape outside of a plane ticket. We get cold, and wet, but never at the same time. Oh well. El nino sucks. Hope we can cash in with more sub freezing days in the 2nd half of feb. Yep yypc, I lived in the foothills of Hood. Worked on the Mt for many years..incredible Snowfall at times..but in the foothills..feast or famine. 2-3ft some storms. Flooding others..seen a lot of both but been here for 12 yrs so it has worn off..so when it's dreary it reminds of those days.. My first time ever skiing was at timberline. Love that place. Yeah it is definitely tough not seeing the sun for so long.

Pretty damn frustrating to see a textbook snowstorm end up being a rainstorm because any cold air is cutoff. Yep,about too throw in the White Flag on this Winter! I know February all the signs teleconnections, etc say Cold and Snow but it just doesn't want to materialize. Will see after 15th but I'm afraid it will keep getting pushed back then the runway ends..I need some positive insight!! Please..I lived in Oregon for 13 yrs maybe it's PTSD this week from all those long wet winters..lol. It's amazing out there but yes some winters are long dreary like what we have been going through. Mt Hood gets like 400-500 inches within an hour of Portland. Here there is really no escape outside of a plane ticket. We get cold, and wet, but never at the same time. Oh well. El nino sucks. Hope we can cash in with more sub freezing days in the 2nd half of feb.

Best of luck Labrat sending prayers and good vibes for your Mom.
Looks like this winter is over unless we can get another arctic shot in mid February. Annoying that we only have about a week or so where it is cold enough for accumulating snowfall.
