I heard from a MET...maybe someone can confirm that the NWS is asking offices accross the country to release weather balloons every 6 hours...if so is this unprecedented?

I haven't heard of it happening now, but it's a fairly common practice when a hurricane or other large storm system nears. Normally it's only a portion of the balloon sites that do it (ex. The SE US) not normally the whole country.

EDIT: I see the some of the SE WFO's balloon data now. So at least the SE is launching balloons.

EDIT #2: Ninja'd by Yoda. :angry:

If the Euro verifies it will be hard to decide if I go to Oakland for snow or stay put for TS conditions.

I would think the only location with any serious shot at snow would be Garrett Co. Whenever the models show snow for the Mid/At coastal plain in Oct, it's a joke. OTOH, I "think" the 5-day bulls eye modeling rule applies year round, doesn't it?
