MN Transplant Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 This is just for fun, right? When has the NAM ever failed us by shooting too high in winter precip events? I'm mostly just stunned by the consistency. Usually there is a run in there that will be significantly different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be really big time for this time of year but not completely unheard of. Right now I'd certainly go for more than 2 inches and probably would make a 2 to 3 inch forecast. It's gonna be wet.

usedtobe Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Al Roker had a band of 5" into DC Wow, he should be talking flooding then even if we've been dry. I wonder where he got that number. Maybe talking to H20? I could see some local 3 inch amounts though like you I'd probably take the under for any one point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aldie 22 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Based on recent history after this big rain event we should expect two months of dry then another 3-7" event? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedtobe Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 This is pretty anomalous event. v-component 850 wind anomalies are forecast to be over 4 standard deviations above normal and the 850 moisture flux just to our south is of similar magnitude. Both are really impressive. It will be fun to watch how much rainfall we get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usedtobe Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I think Wes is right. I would be really surprised if we got over 3 inches. I would take the under but wouldn't be surprised if someone got more. Such high moisture flux on the SREF ens mean suggests this is not a run of the mill rainfall event but a higher end one.

It we go beyond, then it is one for the books. We have been so dry, I am on the welcome train here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clskinsfan Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 The NAM sim radar is really something. It is just dumping rain for 42 straight hours. I hope this is a sign of the storm tracks to come throughout the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
