OceanStWx Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 1 hour ago, SJonesWX said: yesterday on FB, NWS BOX posted a rainfall map with totals at the MA/NH border around 1.5-2.0”. around the same time, NWS GYX posted a rainfall map with totals at the MA/NH border around 0.25”. it must have been pretty crazy, seeing that gradient on the models. Hard to believe that the state line can stop qpf like that! Seriously, though, GYX and BOX need to coordinate more. that is just not a good look I agree it's not a great look, but sometimes in the short term you just have to go with what you think is going to happen, it's in the best interest of your users. I stand by my 0.25" since it hasn't rained yet at ASH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree totally, Its going to be a rough winter if some just rely on modeling, The GFS looks like you may have to weight even less then before as every storm will be a snowstorm with its cold bias this winter, Still don't know how the last Euro upgrade is going to shake out either until we get the first legit threat.

Yesterday morning all local stations said yesterday was going to be cloudy with showers developing as the day went on, and today pretty much a wash out. In actuality Lol..., yesterday was the Washout (rained steady all day), and today is Sunny. I mean that’s a total fail on all accounts. Holy smokes. Tough one for the local Pros.

We say modeling is better but we're still prone to busts such as this one. Up to 64 here....maybe a run at 70? LOL. on a personal note glad we got a good drink yesterday-badly needed here.

Anytime something is progged to back in/stall etc, there’s a huge bust potential with that type of set up..in either direction it seems. Yes yesterday’s rain was good.

Yes yesterday’s rain was good. Location, location, location. No bust at ACK (about 0.1% of Boston's wx bailiwick) - they've reported heavy rain in recent hours and winds 30sG50 since I first looked at 7 this morning. Maybe all that RA and many hours of sustained TS-force wind loosens a few tree roots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 This situation sort of reminds me about in the winter when storms do hit us but because of the super dry airmass or positioning/strength of the high pressure, the snow just has a hell of a time reaching the ground or at about half of it gets eaten up overall. I hope this isn't a harbinger of things to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
