Solak Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Only difference is the direction of movement. Nice image comparison, though. Pressure is down to 985 now. If not mistaken, it was supposed to be 984 at this time. Pretty good read by the models on this bombing out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not tried to match up Weather Underground Data with the NDC feed. Good point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I have not tried to match up Weather Underground Data with the NDC feed. Good point not saying they are not possible just that none of the buoys that are official are showing much more than 60-65knts.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 a lot of snow in it now but they are tiny flakes, the rest is rain/sleet......bet I have close to 1.25 - 1.5" in the gauge. This is on top of the 5.55" I had Wed thru Fri last week....so pushing 7" of rain since Wed night.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Stream Rider Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Its been mighty wet lately. But not so much cold. I guess that roughly matches what is to be expected with an el nino. Thanks again everyone for the reports and pics and analysis. Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeatherNC Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 About finished here, sleet mixed in with the rain all day. A perfect look for eastern NC from 5 days out through verification, affirms the NW trend once again, and how marginal temp situations hardly ever work out.

jburns Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Here is some reading on the deepening coastal storm from a different perspective.

I spoke to some crew member who said crew was only responding to critical emergencies currently, 2 passengers had heart attacks (that was about 2 hours ago). Thanks for your support of RC."

"We'll be disembarking tomorrow, ship is too damaged to continue. Ceiling collapsed on deck 14." Certainly a dereliction of duty! What meteorological services do they use anyway? A review of the models Saturday would have told them to alter courae or delay the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add 30ft+ seas to the mix and you have something that would make Jack Sparrow pee his pants. Only thing missing is a Kraken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solak Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 re: the ship. I've read several stories about it now this morning, and almost all of them call it an "unexpected storm". Even the Cruise line's blog called it that. SMH. re: the storm. Pressure is now down to 976. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the Cruise line's blog called it that. SMH. re: the storm. Pressure is now down to 976. It's really hard for me to get a grasp on how this type of thing happens. It just seems pretty basic to me that if you are going to send a ship out on a cruise that you have a good handle on the upcoming forecasts. Nantucket is even better, full on legit blizzard conditions \ http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?site=box&zmx=&zmy=&map_x=290&map_y=250&x=290&y=251#.VrjIsqz2YdU Not fair skimming off our leftovers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
