Wake Me Up When September Ends / Banter thread


Damage In Tolland

Recommended Posts

Oh I agree on the lack of tack. I'm done with it, just wanted to point out that it is the banter thread and if the reason stated for deleting posts was that they are not relevant to the current discussion and/or off-topic, well, that's what the banter thread is for.

Its good for the staff of the board to state what they will and won't put up with...aside from just saying, "its off topic or not relevant" cause that was more relevant than half the stuff said in this banter thread.

My apologies for my lack of tact/explanation in my reply. Kevin was getting antsy without a reply. I see Will has spelled it out.

I don't think posts should be deleted for political reasons if they are done in a respectful way. I need to re-read the rules and see if posts can be deleted because they are politically incorrect.

Hey understand if foul language is used, threats are made, and other incendiary type stuff. That's another matter entirely.

I didn't see Kevin's posts..because obviously they were deleted before I had a chance so I can't speak to it beyond that.

LOL...I blame the mobile device.

They were fine..and noone took any offense to them. Bob got a few posts from the secret lurkers at BOX and took it upon himself to break the rules of the board and delete them

These aren't busts..especially when all the mets on the board see things and point out dangerous situations.

For one, no one mentioned this would be a dangerous situation, and I believe you are the only poster who has said the word dangerous in reference to this event.

Second, there's a big difference between what is talked about on this board and what goes out in public forecasts. We discuss "what ifs" on this board, and usually the "what ifs" on the more extreme side, because naturally we are looking for exciting weather. Sure it was mentioned on here that there could be localized heavy rain, but you make it sound as if mets on here knew Fall River would get 4" in one hour.

It's the same in any extreme event...we discuss a winter event on here, "oh wouldn't it be something if this vort max exploded on the coast?" The forecast is for flurries but then we get a short duration blizzard and yes, while it was discussed on here, no one was forecasting it because all models had it go harmlessly to sea.

I think there's a huge difference between what the mets on here "discuss" and what they actually forecast. To fault a forecast and say it was discussed here so why didnt they forecast it, I think that's making a bit of a leap.

Of course on this board we may sniff out extreme weather events, but also think of all the events we discuss that never happen...all the ones that we over hype because we want extreme weather? We only take note of it when it's hyped AND verifies, then go looking for "why didn't they see it?"

For that matter ALY busted incredibly when last night's forecast was still for around 1 to 1.5 inches total and they got .13". But these kind of convective related events are very hard for anyone to forecast well I think.

The gradual step down to fall is continuing. Second half of the forecast week is showing the first highs in the 60s under sunny skies yet this season. I love how a couple weeks ago it was highs in the mid-70s during cool downs, now it'll be mid 60s, then mid 50s, etc. High temps during periods of high pressure continue to lower...

Monday

Partly sunny with a 40 percent chance of showers. Highs in the mid 60s.

Monday Night

Mostly clear. Lows in the mid 40s.

Tuesday

Sunny. Highs in the mid 60s.

Tuesday Night

Mostly clear. Lows in the upper 40s.

Wednesday

Partly sunny. Highs in the upper 60s.

The Fall color was more apparent last Friday north of the 45th parallel in far northern NH and the high terrain of Quebec. It is on the March southward.

Around Lac Megantic in Quebec I noted some of the goldenrod stuff looked a little browned like it might taken a hit by a light frost.

Is this Boston Centric or for all of SNE? How's Saturday look here and there?

Well if you believe the GFS, the rain is gone for you Sunday morning. Both models suggest increasing clouds with showers developoing in the aftn. Sunday is a soaker on the euro. My guess is the rain hangs around into at least noon Sunday. This is for you. We will probably be wet a good part of the day here Sunday. Saturday may be ok into early aftn. Might be cloudy though.
