July 2013 Observations and Discussions

The 6z rgem matched the 0z euro.

However, the new 12z rgem, now looks like the NAM and the rain mostly misses the area.

 

So, the euro SHOULD come in drier, but the euro has had major issues the past month with precipitation forecasts, so I wouldn't be surprised if it comes in wetter then the entire suite again.

 

It was always showing a sharp cutoff across the region, but the boundary and storm will be just a little further east.

The 12z model runs have been doing well for warm season rainfall once they initialize where the rainfall and convection

actually is. That's why guessing day 2 convection here is such a roll of the dice. The SPC even has a difficult

time with there day 2 outlooks around our region.

They finally fixed the MAG site.

 

http://mag.ncep.noaa.gov/model-guidance-model-parameter.php?group=Model%20Guidance&model=NAM&area=NAMER

 

 

In MAG version 3.0, the interface returns to the look and feel of the website prior to the NOAA Web Operations Center (WOC) system crash in December 2012.

The graphical image processing is now done on NOAA’s new Weather and Climate Operational Supercomputing System (WCOSS). The back end processing code has been rewritten to improve monitoring capabilities and allow for upcoming changes to be more easily updated. The web interface has been simplified and rewritten in PHP and Javascript and depends on a XML-driven design. The MAG is no longer dependant on a relational database.

Features in v3.0:

• LoopingisnowHTML-5compliant,makingitavailabletosmartphonesandothermobile devices.

• TropicalGuidanceisonceagainavailable. • Four-panelchartsareavailableforselectedmodelsandareas:

• GFS:NAMER,EPAC,NPAC,andWNATL • RAP:NAMER • NAM:NAMER,NPAC,WNATL,andEPAC

• Accesstolargeandsmallimagesisavailableforselectedmodelsandareas: • GFS:NAMER,NPAC,andWNATL,andEPAC(exceptprecipparameters) • NAM:NAMER,NPAC,WNATL,andEPAC(exceptprecipparameters) • RAP:NAMER • WW3:WNATL • WW3-WNA:WNATL

Upcoming Changes

MAG v3.1: Late September 2013

And it still looks like something straight out of 1996 that should be running on an old, basic Windows OS.

 

I really can't believe that is the best design the National Weather Service could come up with.

You should see the graphics with the Joint Typhoon Warning Center.

They should have let a university met dept design it for them.

But it's still good to hump the Euro for every forecast, right?!?!?

 

 

I've been saying that it's been having a MISERABLE time over the past month.

It's weird seeing the euro struggle so bad. It's had terrible fails even inside 48 hours and sometimes even inside 24 hours.
