dan11295 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 From the OKX radar western LI is just getting pounded. Looks like that is heading for BDR-HFD or just a bit east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modfan Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Can someone explain why the KBOX rad storm totals are so hugely under what has actually occurred? It has .1 to .3" total for FIT, yet the obs show .99" since this began ... probably already clicked over an inch at that, too. The header on the product says it is between 2:49pm yesterday and just a few minutes ago, too. Tip, do you have a better obs map? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropical rains have smaller droplets, which causes reflectivity (dbz) to be lower, and that's probably what the algorithm is using to determine accumulated rainfall.

Small droplet rains maybe?Not sure what the droplet size distribution is today though...I don't have my disdrometer out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Tip, do you have a better obs map? I don't, but if you go to KBOX' website and their Observation link, most sites are averaging 1" to 1.5" from NE to SW across the region, yet their rad storm totals do not reflect this for many locations -- not by a long shot.

Yeah, it's an honest question - not meaning to be snarky. I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation, and it may in fact be how the beam is adjusted for hydro meteors. True. Either way, the current product is flat wrong N of the Pike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modfan Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 So...Is this still setting up as a 2-4/3-5 inch storm region wide? Looks like about 1.5 thus far around Ne CT http://mesowest.utah.edu/cgi-bin/droman/mesomap.cgi?lat=41.97560&lon=-72.38670&radius=90&rawsflag=290 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 So...Is this still setting up as a 2-4/3-5 inch storm region wide? 4 to spot 5.5" totals... Of course there are always negative outliers, but in general. We'll be 1.25 to 1.5" when the heavy bands come through, and history has them dumping 2-3" inches.

Typhoon Tip Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I'm starting to think that we may dry slot, but then the nucleus of the vestigial low pulls a few heavier bands back around for a final hurrah in the wee-hours of the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1220 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Major flooding taking place in my hometown and across western Long Island with still a long way to go. You guys are definitely next. I wouldn't be surprised if some places already have 4". My entire town is essentially under water from that earlier band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Next 3-6 hours will be interesting to see how much liquid the atmosphere can squeeze out. Mother Nature is doing a fantastic job making it rain even with the feedback from the antecedent drought and desert heat that frequents New England.
