Hi folks. Happy new year. I've been a member for several years and have never posted because I'm such a rank amateur. Have learned a lot, though, just by reading the posts and puzzling them out somewhat.

Just a couple of questions about the timing systems would help me a lot. If someone would answer, I'll happily go back to watching your posts.

When you write 0Z, 6z 12Z, etc, are you referring to midnight, six am, noon, etc?

When you talk about 96 hours, 30 hours, etc, are you referring to hours BEFORE the event? And how do you figure zero hour? Then how do you distinguish in your shorthand nomenclature between hours BEFORE the storm from hours AFTER the storm?

Sotrry for the simplicity of this, thanks all.

0z, 6z, 12z, 18z all stands for UTC time. We are in EST so 12z which is 12:00UTC, is 7:00 EST our time. When people say like "at 48 hours", they are meaning 48 hours in the future from whatever the initialization time of the computer model is. Usually 0z, 6z, 12z, 18z.

The 1 inch line is 20 miles off the coast of CNJ . possibly not the last trend

High res take you home from here .

 

This was a big step beginning to consolidate the low further west during the day tomorrow. One more shift west

at 0z would make a lot of people happy here.
