  1. Congrats Atlanta. Ptype loop looks like Mar 93 going across the SE
  2. But this is an example of where I think AI is just broadly spreading QPF rather than honing in on details. That’s a lot more QPF in NNE vs deterministic models and less in SNE.
  3. It’s being a little generous with the dgz there. -10C is out of the max dendritic zone.
  4. Looks like that energy ejecting out of the Baja is a little more south and neutered. It may be for the best on the S coast because it looked like thermals were running warmer DC-south.
  5. @weatherwiz do any of these work for you? I forgot this guy’s page even existed https://www.wxcaster.com/isentropic.htm
  6. It’s a big push of isentropic lift…more of a consistent upglide over the cold dome. Sadly you can’t seem to find isentropic model maps anymore online. This would be a pretty cold isentropic surface to work with.
  7. You’re ripping like 0.60”+/6hr at times. Even with clearing there’s going to be compaction on the bottom of those cores as the weight increases on the lower crystals. A little wind will break the crystals down a bit too. So I just find it hard to see 12-15” of fluff in 6hrs during the meat of it. If you were clearing hourly then yeah…you’re probably getting 20-25:1 hourlies at times.
  8. Btw….to anyone using the Beta site on Pivotal be careful when clicking soundings. When I’m in landscape mode the lat/long is correct, but when I flip the view to portrait it’s shifting my longitude off by a solid 1°.
  9. I think that’s a good safe number. Soundings are pretty good here, but it’s tough to sustain huge ratios (20-25:1) with higher QPF. There’s a period on the euro where we’re saturated and in the DGZ from the sfc to H5.
