Substantial drought relief rains en-route?

God I'd love to see you write that in the winter...caution on big amounts, lol. You sound like Ryan or Coastalwx in January when you are handing out 15-30" snowfalls.

In the winter there's usually good reason to go high, but for rains in a dry spring in drought conditions with a progged coastal storm that we haven't had in 6 months should have everyone cautious. This is by no means a lock to give everyone 2-6 inches of rain

Well the 4"+ amounts will obviously not be in a huge area, but many will get 2-3"+.

LOL dry begets dry. I don't think I've ever seen the KFS go conservative. It's like the euro being most bullish on snowfall or the nam being low on qpf...it never happens.

That's awesome. Beautiful area.

Yeah. I love traveling anywhere really. I'd love to be able to get to every state in the US someday or just be able to go on a 3 month road trip across the country...that would be awesome.

Time to get back at it and bury the nose in the high school books. Time to stop trying to marry into a Polygamist colony in Utah and get back to focusing on your future

Everyone just take it easy with rainfall amounts lol. It's highly doubtful that everyone gets 2-5 inches. For now we go 1-2 as most likely. Banded precip means some do great and others get bent over table

I couldn't disagree more. When this thing approaches from the south, it will be a wall of water Sunday evening... NOT very showery... I expect a gradient from W to E due to best dynamics and frontogenesis to the west (along with oro enhancement) but I fully expect widespread 2-3" amounts (except maybe the Cape/Islands).

You have some valid points except in the winter there's reason to go high... I'd say it's the opposite with in this case seeing tropical connections and massive forcing, the models may be under doing spot amounts.

Do models historically under forecast cold season QPF and snow?

BOS under 1.5

BDL under 2

PVD under 1.75

ORH 2+

The KFS is the lowest QPF forecast right now of the models, but it's trends have been steadily increasing QPF for 3 days now so that's noteworthy...at first it was half inch or less, then .5-1" and now 1-2" with locally higher amounts. When the dry model continues to increase QPF you know it's going to rain. Even basin averages of 1.5-2" will greatly help the water tables.

I went skiing in Park City for the last 2 days before they closed, then visited family in Salt Lake, then saw Bryce and Zion (national parks) the last few days. It was a lot of driving in the middle of nowhere...but it was fun.

How 'bout that 80 mph speed limit south of I-70 on I-15? Fun. Makes Zion closer. How was the water situation around Zion? I imagine it's nice and green for now.
