I always like the check the SREFs. Not the most reliable, but still fun to look at. Hovering right around 1" of snow. All falling with the passage of the front. The temps will be brutal by midday and not much change for 48 hours. Very impressive for December.

Yeah, NCEP saying GFS running about 30 minutes behind.

Pretty nice shift SE on the CMC

never trust a cut off low.

I don't think i have ever seen the flag come out this early. Come on guys. One run of one model. Stay in the game. The fact is that we are 6 days out and have a system in play. Lets watch for a few days

just for fun. Current weather in Buffalo

This slug of rain has me ready for a good thump of snow .

Hot take: the GFS is garbage. .

I’m ready at least for a little bit. I’m not looking for ton of rain, but a nice thunderstorm here and there would work wonders. I love landscape and gardening, this has been a tough stretch on my plants .

Yes. HRRR runs after 18z yesterday really backed off of the rain west of the city. Everything forming south and east. Looks like that is holding true on radar .

This is such a good website for data. I can never figure out how to work it. Thanks for the data .

What a great picture of some mammatus. Don’t see that too often around here .

I still have no clue how it didn’t rain in AGC .

Serious question. How does the convection split like that? What is the inhibiting factor that is causing nothing in between two very impressive lines .

Radar is starting to develop out in central Ohio. Looking a little more robust than the earlier runs of the models .

It’s hot for sure. However, if the alternative is the 38° and rainy days we get in the middle of March, I’ll take this day please .

93.0°and a 79.8° dew point on my PWS. Not the most accurate, but not that far off either. It’s scorching out there .

Back to rain in the south hills. It had transitioned to snow and sleet. At least in Bridgeville I have rain .

Waking up this morning and looking outside… .

The snow and cold will win out. The roads and other paved surfaces are resisting because of how warm it got today. Couple of hours and they will give in .

NWS doubling down... Love it.

guys, admittedly, i'm getting to the party late. But things look ok right now?
