can i smoke what you are smoking? LOL.NO heavy precip until temps in the mid to upper 70's. No warm temps, no convection.

Wopee drought getting worse. Less than a half of an inch all week. Fire conditions getting real bad with dry underbrush. When will padep noaa wake up? Extreme drought folks. By the way, i warned you about the sinkholes i-80 closed from sinkholes. Now i-287 has sinkholes. Drought monitor map is bs right now. They need to look at palmer indices

just in time to dry out the soil profile by mid afternoon.

bring it on. How about a severe t storm warning to boot? Still waiting for that 30 in snowfall event to hit us in few weeks LMAO

the progressive LR patterns we ar in are not even worth looking at at this time for the GFS model. Look at a 3-5 day models instaead- more reliable

drought is not measured by the moisture of the first 3-6 inches of topsoil. It is measured by groundwater elevations and base flows of streams. WE have a long way to go to break this drought. Like I said in my posts, .25 in rains are good for greening grass only. However 40 mph winds after tonights rain will dry the surface by tomorrow evening. Elevated fire risks for the weekend if the winds keep up. The dry period has been ongoing since August 18 th, 2024 the last day of a two inch rain for the LV. Since then, it has been a desert.

gfs shit the bed already. 2-3 feet of snow gone -----That model needs to be shelved until we have a better non-progressive weather pattern. The 30 mph+ Santa Ana type winds return on Friday immediately drying out any rain we get on Thursday. No water recharge into the ground except the first couple of inches of topsoil. Again, this .50 inch of rain is great for greening the yards and for spring bulbs but the groundwater table for water supply and base flows for the limestone streams are falling real quick as the trees start to bud. The leaves will start to open in 3-4 weeks and then we are in real trouble as the uptake of any residual moisture in the soil is gone. NOAA and PADEP must issue a drought emergency for the LV before the water authorities do it on their own with rationing. The weather discussion keeps saying beneficial rains are coming-- just like the 3 ft of snow on the GFS model but actually .25 to .50 in rains are not really beneficial when we have drying wind advisory events right behind the fronts. NJ is not the only area of the MT Holly region. The LV has not received a single 2 in rain event since August 18, 2024 and only a couple of single rainfall events barely over an inch since then . We are going on below normal precip for 9 months now. Folks, that is a hell of drought. The 2-3 inches of rain in NJ this past weekend killed the existing drought conditions along SE NJ with their sandy soils and above avg snowfall so far this year. Lets start hearing more about the million + people that live in the I-78 corridor and the daily brush fires in the weather discussions. Thanks

The huge snow amounts will be gone by the 18z tomorrow - Reliable Data ingestion from the PAC has not even been incorporated into the models yet. When it is less than 5 days from the event with all three LR models on board , then I will be concerned. This BS scenario has happened at least three times in February. Reliable LR forecasting for snow amounts has been non-existent in this weather in this progressive pattern. T- storms die out , heavy rain disappears over the Blue Mts as well. The only dam weather phenomenon that is a sure thing in this crappy pattern is a dry adiabatic wind over the mountains with gusts over 30 mph for days on end that causes diurnal temp fluctuations of 25- 30 degrees everyday.

OMG, this Good for shits and giggles (GFS) models are acting like a far left wing reporter by doubling down on successive runs. What a joke.

This is no longer funny IMHO. If the LR models are this bad, why even believe any of them. What purpose does this map serve? 30 inches of snow is purely comical. A lot of taxpayer monies being spent collecting data and running these models and they provide jack sH&t in predictability outcomes. Its been 2-3 dozen times in the last two months that have shown ridiculous snowfall amounts like this. Please tell me what information does this map actually provide to any forecaster other than a good laugh?

this shit pattern will never end.

I am buckled up for another crashing defeat of a warning level snowfall event. 1-3 inches if we are absolutely lucky as hell. Need to see what DR No says on Thursday

you verified my forecast of .60 yesterday. Thanks Still thinking snow for the weekend. LMAO

one more round of showers in the next hour, should reach .60 like I first thought. Accurately predicting 1-2 in rains are not in the cards for another few weeks. It's like predicting a 6" snow event ---NADA. The drought lives on. At least things will green up now better late than never.

First rumble of thunder this year. Raining steadily for about 10 so far minutes. Finally hear rain on the roof. The spring bulbs and grass are going to love this nitrogen infused rain. Convective rainfall infuses tons of natures free nitrogen fertilizer into the ground for the lawns to quickly green up. Just what the doctor ordered. Goodbye yellow grass.
