michaelmantis Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Pouring rain by me... 36 as measured by backyard weather station... Such good precipitation gone to waste!!! Change quick damnit! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCNYILWX Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Nah, he is right. It is one thing to say its going to rain, but alek has driven this thread into the ground with an obsession today. Low quality posting all day long.Also, all trolling aside, the GFS is and has been a disaster for this event. Most runs through at least yesterday had no snow anywhere with round 2 and 3, but yet it's already been a nice event for parts of the western sub. Regardless of what happened over the Chicago area, argument that the GFS would be wrong applied toward it having an unrealistic huge area of >0C at 925 mb, which clearly has been wrong.

SchaumburgStormer Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Some rain and some ice sounding pings on the windshield on the way home. An aside, When did they add super-res correlation coefficient? It’s sweeet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I remember when the FV3 and old GFS were running simultaneously. The FV3 was kind of fun to laugh at while still being able to use the somewhat usable GFS. Once the FV3 took over it was like a sober and trashed person exchanged positions in the front seats. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what the internal discussions were within the weather service, but I could imagine it was largely negative with regard to the upgrade.

Chicago Storm Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 So is the Hi-Res GFS and the GEFS not the upgraded version?The current GFS is the new upgraded version. The GEFS run off of the old physics packages. This as we have seen, can be fairly different that the GFS, even in the near term.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might have a better shot tomorrow night with the wrapround. That being said, you up in Vaughan have a better shot than those of us closer to L Ontario. Looks like my call of 2-4" is going to bust.
