ughhh it's not that. I'm using an incorrect equation or method to find e. The book gives e = es - Ap(T-Tw) but I think it's full of poop. 

haha...completed the whole chart!!! only took 2.5 pages of calculations. Hopefully it's all right but numbers make sense :thumbsup:

WTF is the GFS doing now? Anybody else noticing lately that it is doing these weird almost gravity wave induced pressure fields affecting srfc winds and precip? That looks unrealistic as modeled. Sure they can happen, but look at the winds and QPF on the 6z GFS. 

Cue Tip, in 3...2...1...

are you talking about the structure of the QPF or total QPF?

The structure of it. The winds and QPF distribution on the 3 and 6 hr panels shows several upward/downward vertical motion areas that seem exaggerated. 

Ahhh...I see exactly what you're talking about. 

Could it be tied with the 700mb VV? Looking at 700mb VV you have almost a similar type of configuration. Or would that be tied into what you were saying with gravity wave induced pressure fields?

Look at that pressure fields. You can see some funny looking mesoscale ridges and troughs within the area of low pressure. Just seems bizarre and exaggerated to me.

Yeah that does seem rather odd...it's striking too how obvious that is. Great catch though picking that out. Very curious now as to the cause of this within the model. Even tracing this back to when it's off the mid-Atlantic coast there are signs of these features developing but they become more exaggerated as the system progresses northward. Is it possible it's some sort of interaction with the high to the north? But it's almost like whatever is used within the algorithm for SLP/QPF didn't like do any smoothing of the data.

I also love how this run pulls the H7 low quite west lol. Lots of funky things this run

It's rare though in something as complex as meteorology....and your last point certainly doesn't help either.

 

It is what it is. The convo/discussion went downhill, but the info flows in faster than it used to. If you are skilled enough on here to filter out the 80% crud that gets posted, then you'll be just fine.

This, Live above the noise.

Ha, I still use a laptop for photography and I think most would agree... to fully Weenie out over a winter storm it's better on a computer or laptop.  Model data, radars, 10 browser tabs open... it just isn't the same on the small screen.  Laptop rising while watching Jim Cantore live coverage on TWC during a snow blitz...

There's still a time and a place for breaking out the old laptop or desktop in weather.

I prefer a 22" monitor over a 4.5" phone screen...............lol
