yoda Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Those plots from TT start using the "exciting" colors at some fairly low values of reflectivity. True, just realized that... but the yellow around 35 dBz is what the NWS radars use, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high risk Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 as noted, the NAM is kinda strange with its overnight split, leaving DC in a minimum - the convective scheme may be doing some odd things. The NAM nest displayed above really likes northern MD. The HRRR likes everyone from DC north up into southern PA. But they all agree on after midnight timing.

high risk Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 yes, but TT is starting the yellow at 28. And TT uses red at 40 dbz instead of 50. True, just realized that... but the yellow around 35 dBz is what the NWS radars use, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StudentOfClimatology Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Tropical forcing will be entering the WPAC next week, which should favor an Aleutian low/+PNA about 7-10 days from now. If this pans out, we probably get an ~ 2 week period of cooler weather/troughing beginning late next week. Keeping my fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I've gotten lots of rain so I'm in a good mood, I'm sorry you and Mattie G keep getting screwed, Maybe you'll all get the remnants of Bill, but I don't know enough so maybe ask Bob Chill.

Disc Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 That bad boy was rotating? Very nice. Some of us up here are reduced to prayer at the NAM altar and looking at cumulus for our kicks. Looks to have been some. Had a nice appendage on radar until it congealed into a line. Lots of winds reports popping up now throughout eastern Roanoke. This was taken just as the storm was over those areas where the damage reports are coming in. Note: I know it's not the greatest film job in the world and there's a giant pole in the way, but this was a jump out of the car and get a quick video moment. Still shows the storm's general structure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVdS4HAnvFw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Despite my previous post, I fully expect to be woken up sometime in the middle of the night by my dog growling at low rumbles of thunder. Hopefully I at least pick up a good soaking for my trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 0.20" so far here in Oak Hill. Had just enough of a gap in rain to mow the lawn. Then started to water all my new trees and bushes, it started raining, but kept going anyway. Hoping that my soaking them will have a similar effect to washing the car...

WinterWxLuvr Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I wasn't singling you out. The severe folks will lose it if we go to a torch with no real boomers much like the snow weenies do when we get extended cold and nothing to show for it. I can feel the despair rising. I'm not close to losing it, but this weather is as bad as it gets for me. I so wish for several bright sunny days. I literally can't remember the last day it didn't rain at my house. This is the equivalent of 10 straight days of 60's in January for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Got .26" yesterday (and since the .25" I got on Sunday). That puts me at 1.86" for the month. As usual, mby is one of the driest. You'd think I lived on the leeward side of Mt. Everest. Just don't know what it is about this part of southern Frederick Co. Yesterday was sweet however, A/C never cut on once.
