For sure. Went from 0.8 QPF to 0.4 in two HRRR Runs.
as you said it will bounce around but it will be a relatively thin band of 0.8-1.0QPF IMO with a more general 0.4-0.6 for most. Mesos have much spottier precip compared to globals
as I said yesterday I’ve always been more concerned about QPF than I am about too much mixing
21/7
Oh it’s in the mix of guidance, I use all of it though, not just one model which the OP does all the time. I know I’m gonna get mixing, that’s for sure - it’s just how much and I think the NAM is still clearly playing catch up
In all fairness the NAM has handled the storm terribly. I wouldn’t be hanging my hat on that. I have no dog in this fight as I’m not in NYC but I think they do very well (5+) with this setup.
I mean it’s semantics at the end of the day and they have to cut off somewhere. The main thing is the public is informed either way whether you call it an advisory or warning. An inch or two difference in projection is all that’s different. Never understood why people cared so much about that - if you’re in the borderline of warning vs advisory you clearly know it could go either way.
