WilkesboroDude Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Fire weather... fire weather conditions becoming an increasing concern over the days ahead. Overall...many parts of the County Warning Area have not experienced meaningful rain since early October. Examining various RAWS sites shows that 10-hour fuel moistures are dropping into the 8-10 percent range during the afternoon/min relative humidity time. For now...we do not have the wind or relative humidity criteria in any state. However...the outlook for meaningful rain is slim. Most models and official TPC track for Sandy are east to well east of the middle-Atlantic coast...hence no rainfall for our region. This will also place our County Warning Area in the strong subsidence zone on the west side of Sandy. Rainfall associated with the approaching frontal system will likely dry up as it attempts to cross the alleghanys into this subsidence area in addition to the normal downslope effects. However...the combined effects of the frontal system and the large scale wind field around Sandy will yield tight gusty northwest winds behind the frontal system. There appears to be a good possibility at this juncture of red flag criteria being met across much if not all of the County Warning Area this weekend.

valkhorn Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Is the Euro still th eonly one showing this has a huge event? I thought most of the model runs showed it staying out to sea. I know some runs of the Euro have it going out to sea some when it gets past NC but then hanging a left and slamming into the New York area. Are some of the other models coming around to the scenario? If so, then I guess I was premature in saying I think it's going to head out to sea. I am just used to these extreme solutions on the models never coming to happen. Nearly all of the models are taking it inland, including now the 12z GFS.

I am just used to these extreme solutions on the models never coming to happen. All models seem to b converging on the Euro. The Euro itself moved even a bit further west at 12z. Has it making landfall near Cape May heading NNW. That track could cause hundreds of millions of dollars of improvements to NJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griteater Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 From Hurricane Center... THE CENTRAL PRESSURE HAS ALSO FALLEN TO 973 MB BASED ON DATA FROM THE PLANE. CONDITIONS APPEAR FAVORABLE FOR ADDITIONAL INTENSIFICATION UNTIL THE CYCLONE MOVES NEAR OR OVER EASTERN JAMAICA...AND THE OFFICIAL FORECAST SHOWS SOME STRENGTHENING AT 12 HOURS. AFTER THAT TIME... ADDITIONAL LAND INTERACTION WITH EASTERN CUBA AND STRUCTURAL CHANGES DUE TO INTERACTION WITH AN UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH MAKE THE INTENSITY FORECAST HIGHLY UNCERTAIN. INCREASING SHEAR SHOULD RESULT IN LESS FAVORABLE CONDITIONS FOR INTENSIFICATION VIA LATENT HEAT RELEASE...BUT THIS COULD BE COMPENSATED FOR BY BAROCLINIC PROCESSES. GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY...THE NHC INTENSITY FORECAST REMAINS UNCHANGED AT 36 HOURS AND BEYOND...SHOWING SANDY BECOMING A POWERFUL POST-TROPICAL CYCLONE BY THE END OF THE PERIOD.

It's interesting with just only 12 full moons every year, natural disasters happen near those dates somewhat frequently. A very small number of scientists does not a consensus make. The ones who think it does may not have any evidence. Apart from the tides and very small change in microgravity, there's no mechanism for it to happen. There are many natural disasters each year, some will naturally fall on full moons. I can easily find hundreds of natural disasters that did not fall on full moons.

WeatherNC Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 Pretty epic 6 day prog from the HPC, 144hrs out, crazy stuff... 72hr QPF EXTENDED FORECAST DISCUSSION NWS HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL PREDICTION CENTER COLLEGE PARK MD 326 PM EDT WED OCT 24 2012 VALID 12Z SAT OCT 27 2012 - 12Z WED OCT 31 2012 ...CHANCES INCREASING FOR A MAJOR STORM IMPACTING THE MID ATLANTIC AND NORTHEAST... PRELIMINARY UPDATE... USED THE 00Z/24 GEFS MEAN TO UPDATE THE PRELIMINARY FRONTS AND PRESSURES FOR DAYS 3 THROUGH 7. WITH ALL THE ACTION ALONG THE EAST COAST, THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN UNITED STATES ARE AWASH IN PACIFIC AIR, WITH AN ENSEMBLE MEAN SERVING THOSE REGIONS WELL, CONSIDERING THE INHERENT TIMING ISSUES IN THE MORE OPEN FLOW THERE. THE USE OF THE MEAN FOR THE EAST AND ADJACENT ATLANTIC OCEAN FACILITATES MORE LEEWAY TO ADJUST SANDY'S TRACK AS NEEDED BASED ON LATER FORECASTS FROM THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER, AS WELL AS THE PROBLEMATIC POST-TROPICAL PHASE OF THE CYCLONE. WITH REGARD TO SANDY'S ULTIMATE FATE VIS A VIS THE AMPLIFIED POLAR TROUGH OVER THE EAST, THERE IS INCREASING CONSENSUS AMONG THE GUIDANCE FROM THE VARIOUS MODELING CENTERS, PARTICULARLY WITH REGARD TO THE WHOLE OF THE INDIVIDUAL ENSEMBLE MEMBERS. THE DETERMINISTIC SOLUTIONS, IN THE CASE OF THE 00Z/23 GFS AND GEM GLOBAL, ARE OUTLIERS TO THE MAJORITY OF THEIR ENSEMBLE BROTHERS AND SISTERS, WITH THE LION'S SHARE OF THE ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE INDICATING A WHOLESALE INCORPORATION OF SANDY'S POST-TROPICAL CIRCULATION INTO THE UPPER VORTEX CLOSING OVER THE CONTINENT. THE ENTIRE ATLANTIC BASIN SEEMS DESTINED TO BECOME DOMINATED BY BLOCKY HIGHS AND LOWS, WITH DECREASING WIGGLE ROOM FOR EVEN LARGE FEATURES LIKE SANDY. THE BLOCKING IS KEY TO THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE INTERACTION BETWEEN THE ATLANTIC STORM OF TROPICAL ORIGIN AND THE NORTH AMERICAN VORTEX OF POLAR ORIGIN. SOME OF THE MORE AGGRESSIVE DETERMINISTIC MODELS THAT SPIN UP A TREMENDOUSLY DEEP SURFACE LOW BACK ALONG THE MID ATLANTIC COAST AND LONG ISLAND INCLUDE THE 00Z/24 ECMWF, 00Z/24 NOGAPS, AND 06Z/24 GLOBAL HURRICANE MODEL. IF IT BECOMES CLEARER WITH THE ADVENT OF THE 12Z/24 GUIDANCE THAT A LARGE HYBRID LOW IS LIKELY DAY 6, WILL ADJUST THE FINAL PROGS TOWARD A DETERMINISTIC SOLUTION, WHICH WOULD ROUND THE CIRCULATION OF THE MANUAL FORECAST AND DEEPEN THE PRESSURE SIGNIFICANTLY. THE LUNAR CYCLE WILL PROVE TO BE A FACTOR IN THE POTENTIAL FOR COASTAL FLOODING, WITH HIGH TIDES MOST ANOMALOUS FROM THAT EFFECT ALONE SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY AFTER THE FULL MOON ON SUNDAY. FINAL... MADE ONLY MINOR MODIFICATIONS TO THE UPDATE PACKAGE FOR THE FINAL ISSUANCE. TWO OF THE DETERMINISTIC MODEL HOLDOUTS FOR A CONSOLIDATED EAST COAST STORM FROM THE 00Z/24 CYCLE, THE GFS AND GEM GLOBAL, SWITCHED TO THE MERGER CAMP FOR THE 12Z/24 RUN, ALBEIT FARTHER NORTH THAN THE PREFERRED CLUSTER. THE 12Z/24 GEFS MEAN TRENDED DEEPER THAN THE 00Z/24 VERSION, WITH A GREATER NUMBER OF WOUND-UP MEMBERS, CENTERED OVER NEW YORK CITY ON THE MORNING OF DAY 6. THE 12Z/24 ECMWF TRACKS SANDY WEST OF THE BOTH THE NATIONAL HURRICANE TRACK AND THE BULK OF THE GUIDANCE IN THE EARLY PART OF THE SHORT RANGE, ALLOWING THE CIRCULATION TO BE CAPTURED BY THE AMPLIFYING TROUGH SOONER, ALONG THE ATLANTIC COAST OF THE DELMARVA PENINSULA DAY 5. THE PARTICULARS OF THE SENSIBLE WEATHER DEPEND VERY MUCH ON THE LATITUDE AT WHICH THE ANTICIPATED MERGER TAKES PLACE- A POINT TO BE REFINED IN THE COMING DAYS. IN GENERAL, EXPECT HEAVY RAIN AND HIGH WINDS CLOSE TO WHERE THE POST-TROPICAL CORE OF SANDY TRACKS, WITH HEAVY SNOWS IN A CRESCENT ON THE SOUTHWEST EDGE OF THE MERGED VORTEX. THE BEST BET FOR SUBSTANTIAL ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE OVER THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS, THOUGH EVEN ADJACENT LOWER ELEVATIONS OVER THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY AND EAST OF THE MOUNTAINS COULD SEE MEASURABLE SNOW.
