If I was doing as well as OHweather on the precip in this city alone, I'd have a cumulative score (over ALL cities) of about -4.5 and be in 4th overall. Instead, my cumulative will be sitting at around -4.0 so far which puts me in about 20th place overall.

I'm surprised that day 2 precip made such a huge difference (I think we were the same day 1? Or close to it). I'm obviously happy with how the first week went as I'm sitting in first overall for the city. Now I have to hang on for another 4 days

Sitting in the top 75. Probably will be more aggressive overall to see what I can do. Only a few points outside a trophy in the Cat 4 section so we'll see if days 5-8 can match OHweather's pace

 

Probably going aggressive for 5-8, too. That approach burned me in DRO and TPA, but I'm curious if this is the right city to be aggressive.

 

Anyway, I broke back into top 100 for the year all the way to 81st. DRO and TPA (dropped) are dragging it down.

77/66/25/0.20 

From the brief analysis that I was able to do yesterday, the cold front appeared to be showing down, meaning potential for warmer minimum temperatures and somewhat less precipitation today. (This appears to still be the case) Convection could be a wildcard, as well as spiking temperatures. Another tough forecast! (winds could also ramp up given the low-level jet ramping up later.

Yeah I'm worried about trends this morning. My precip and wind were pretty dependent on that front getting there. Models yesterday looked like they overall sped it up just a little and it seems like well organized convection tends to move east on the faster end of the models, but it was close so this slower trend isn't good.

At least it appears good for your 81 so far :P

I'm thinking off and on convection happens in the afternoon across much of eastern LA we might hit a max soon especially if we get Rouge convection. Ovc in full affect right now. Say we reach 79 today with pop up showers and storms took 4 hours for the front to clear through central northern LA and become more defined to the south. When convection starts rolling on this thing watch for it to really move east

I'll take this forecast one piece at a time :lol: get me my high and I'll worry about other things later. RAP and HRRR trying to show some convection before 6z ahead of the front. I can hope...

 

Yea GFS showed nice convection ahead of the front which would make the rain crowd happy. All models still show the convection lasting past 6z so I am definitely worried about the low but I think when rain and more stratoiform conditions happen the temps will lower hopefully close to 65. lol

 

Gonna be a tricky scenario thats for sure and then tomorrows forecast will be even more fun lol
