April 28-30, 2007 Forecast Results

The Weather Alternative Forecast for April 28-30, 2007 (posted April 7) called for an intense cold front and high velocity winds over the Rockies and Front Range.

Windy conditions were experienced in some locations as shown below, but the whole area experienced much warmer conditions in direct opposition to the expected cold front. It seems that the present weather pattern developing over the West is more in line with what I expected for the April 28-30 time period.

Slow Storm Aims for TexasUpdated: Saturday, April 28, 2007 4:04 PM
A slow storm wending its way northeast from the Sea of Cortez will have a significant impact starting Sunday upon upcoming weather over Texas and neighboring states. This sluggish storm will tap into warmth and moisture wafting in from the western Gulf of Mexico, thereby triggering outbreaks of showers and thunderstorms. Sunday, the area for showers and thunderstorms will reach from the West Texas Panhandle into the Permian basin while also spanning much of New Mexico. A few strong and even severe thunderstorms with high winds and hail will erupt here.
