Itunis Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 If you're hanging with the GFS you also gotta accept the temp issues it brings...at this rate the 0Z tonight will have UNV raining! Or at least rain to snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternUSWX Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 How did you know easternwx? no really though, any idea? Early Sunday maybe This has a better chance of missing south then bringing rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSTWX Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I'm going with a big se shift at 0z. That wouldn't shock me. Maybe even a little se of the 12z run. Just as long as it doesn't go to the 12z euro. Then we'd have to turn out the lights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I-83 BLIZZARD Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Saturday Night Overcast with a chance of snow and rain showers in the evening, then mostly cloudy with a chance of snow and rain showers. Low of 27F. Winds less than 5 mph. Chance of snow 70% with accumulations up to 9 in. possible. Anyone know if this is a new product, this is the wunderground forecast for york, pa area.

hckyplayer8 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Euro, Ukie, Gfs tops the ranks. I'm just busting on ya since last night you said the Ukie was garbage. I think we all stand pretty well. Usually the solutions end up between the GFS and Euro. So at least plain rain can pretty much be written off.

PennMan Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I'll try this again in the real thread...someone needs to close the old one. I'm looking forward to dual pol data for Central PA! PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STATE COLLEGE PA 546 PM EST WED FEB 15 2012 ...PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT... ...NWS STATE COLLEGE KCCX WILL BE UPGRADED TO DUAL POLARIZATION AND BE OUT OF SERVICE DURING LATE FEBRUARY THIS YEAR. THE STATE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA WSR-88D RADAR /KCCX/ WILL BE DOWN FOR AN UPGRADE TO DUAL POLARIZATION TECHNOLOGY /DUAL-POL/ DURING THE LAST WEEK OF FEBRUARY 2012. THIS IS THE LARGEST HARDWARE UPGRADE TO THE RADAR SINCE ITS DEPLOYMENT IN THE EARLY 1990S. DUAL-POL TECHNOLOGY OFFERS A NEW SET OF TOOLS TO BETTER DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN RAIN...SNOW...HAIL...MIXED PRECIPITATION AND NON-PRECIPITATION ECHOES. THIS UPGRADE PROVIDES FORECASTERS WITH BETTER RAINFALL ACCUMULATION ESTIMATES AND ENHANCED INFORMATION TO MORE EFFECTIVELY FORECAST SEVERE STORMS AND WINTER WEATHER. DUAL-POL UTILIZES A POLARIMETRIC BEAM THAT DETECTS DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL ORIENTATION OF ATMOSPHERIC TARGETS. CONVENTIONAL RADAR ONLY DETECTS THE HORIZONTAL ORIENTATION. THE ROUGHLY WEEK LONG INSTALLATION PROCESS WILL BEGIN ON FEBRUARY 24TH AND WILL BE COMPLETED BY MARCH 2ND. DURING THIS TIME...NEIGHBORING WSR-88D RADARS MAY BE USED AS FOLLOWS... KDIX - MT HOLLY NJ KLWX - STERLING VA KPBZ - PITTSBURGH PA KBUF - BUFFALO NY KBGM - BINGHAMTON NY TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE DUAL POLARIZATION UPGRADE...

pawatch Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Just thinking out loud here... I was reading about some errors with the GFS. I' m I correct they won't be corrected until this upcoming run. Also I was wondering once the Euro heads that far ENE what is the percentage of it coming back? Tomorrow the Nam should be in it's range. It will be interesting what it does. Wouldn't want to be a Met this weekend. Tony and Mag you got this figured out yet? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony and Mag you got this figured out yet? :-) I'll be the first to say the long range NAM should be taken with a biiiig grain of salt. But I'm cautiously optimistic-along with some others here-now that the (if somewhat improperly initialized) GFS has been onboard for two runs along with the UKMET. If the Euro even trends toward the GFS it'll be good news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
