Sweet, sweet pivot.
-
Supports the Euro in that regard. A bit further North of course.
-
That was too specific. I'm just saying, with CAD it's rare to flip straight to rain, especially at 35.
-
Their algorithm is silly, it has 35 degrees and snow for my location. Would certainly flip to ice or sleet at like, 28-30.
-
I have a feeling someone is going to get legendary amounts of sleet.

Southeast Sanitarium - A Place to Vent
olafminesaw replied to Jonathan's topic in Southeastern States
I think it has value, simply for the sake of allowing people to discuss the LR pattern in a separate thread, when there's a ton of posts. -
Wow, hour 192 is stunning. tucked into the coast, stalled out.
-
The positioning of the High suggests it will be further south
-
A big improvement from 6z for most everyone.
-
When you get a deep moisture feed, with a high pressing down it's a phenomenal pattern, regardless of what the indices are.
-
The crazy thing, is how cold the FV3 GFS is already at the surface. It won't take a perfect track. A less than ideal track would make for a lot more sleet than modeled I imagine, because there are so often sneaky warm layers with transfers. Even if things trend pretty far north, we should get something on the front end, which is a big bonus. You know you're in a good spot when you're equally worried about suppression as you are it coming to far north.

Mid-Atlantic winter 2018-19 snowfall contest
olafminesaw replied to PrinceFrederickWx's topic in Mid Atlantic
Sure, why not DCA: 17.3" BWI: 19.4" IAD: 23.5" RIC: 9.8" SBY: 8.7" -
If the eye were less ragged we'd be talking about yutu returning to its former glory. There's pretty good model agreement now on a track similar to Mangkhut. I feel for the small communities trying to rebuild there, if it does indeed make landfall (hopefully with some substantial weakening beforehand).

3" per hour rain rates
-
Yeah, it's a little out of it's range though. If it sticks to it's guns through 6z, then I'm all in for 60-70 ( east of the triad anyway).
-
And when you get run to run consistency from the HRRR, 9 times out of ten, it is going to be approximately correct. That probably means "only" gusts in the 40-60 mph range, but it's something which we wouldn't even be considering if it weren't for hires models.
-
It's funny to me how much hype there was surrounding Florence, even after we knew for sure it wasn't going to be a big deal apart from some flooding. This should be equivalent or worse, and I've hardly heard a thing about it. Blame the media I guess.

Major Hurricane Florence: STORM MODE THREAD

Quiet around here, but perhaps what will in many ways be the worst part of the storm, still to come. -
Major Hurricane Florence: STORM MODE THREAD
olafminesaw replied to stormtracker's topic in Tropical Headquarters
Winds should remain more or less where they are right now for a long while. Flooding rains may be a concern, but totals over 6" should stay to our south and the higher terrain. -
Seems like land interaction forced it south, and now it's readjusting back to the expecting heading.
