wdrag Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Have attached relatively high 6 hour FFG, plus the first week of Sept departure from normal rainfall, and the ~Aug 30 NAEFS 52 member D8-14 pattern that suggested near or above normal rainfall along the east coast for week two of Sept, that was posted on p2 of the Sept thread... with a cooler pattern nations midsection abutting a warmer than normal western Atlc temperature pattern. Now we're in the shorter term and modeling consensus has increased the front end of the probable two part R+ episodes -Thursday- and Sunday-Monday(13-14). 00z/9 model guidance is suggesting widespread showery conditions Thursday in the NYC forum, with some thunder. PWAT may rise to 2.3". Have seen a little ensemble guidance suggesting max rainfall of 5-7" in eastern NJ and possibly near NYC. There is enough wind that one or 2 clusters of thunderstorms might produce a wet microburst of severe weather in NJ or even LI on Thursday. My expectation is that everyone in the NYC forum receives a minimum of 1/4" and then in NJ/LI there should be several reports of 3+" with isolated 5" possible. Some of the showers may creep into the southern part of the NYC forum late this afternoon or evening but the main show is Thursday-Thursday night. There could be a couple of leftover showers leftover after daybreak Friday on LI. Normal rainfall in our area for a week period in September seems to be around 1-1.1" though our climate specialists may have other differing information. In any case, have not added Sunday-Monday to this topic... that too could be pretty heavy, though 00z/9 modeling has a slightly less extensive band of 2" PWAT over our area and a couple of models have most of the convection to our east. Would like to see the GGEM operational on board for Sunday. 726A/9 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdrag Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share Posted September 9, 2020 Jut added last nights 00z/9 SPC HREF 24 hour Max rainfall graphic ending 8PM Thursday. Legend decodes the 8 member ensemble attempt at prediction.With a PWAT of 2.3"...these numbers are possible, if thunderstorms occur. Something to monitor tomorrow. Also, added the probability of 2" or more of qpf per the 00z/9 NAEFS by 8PM Monday...showing a50+% chance of 2+" on LI (back up from a few days ago). mPING may be helpful tomorrow. 931A/9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdrag Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share Posted September 9, 2020 Some of new 12z/9 guidance is in: This may be a fairly serious brief and small areas of short fuse FF for parts of NJ/NYC area, Thursday, keeping in mind previous FFG. 12z/9 SPC HREF 24 hr MAX rainfall potential. It's increased somewhat in NJ. I see 7" flagged here for 2 successive cycles in ne NJ. We'll see what happens. ICON/GGEM are pretty decent as well. 226P/9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdrag Posted September 10, 2020 Author Share Posted September 10, 2020 It looks like some big numbers are coming to the I95 corridor (pockets of 3+ inches--iso 6-7"?). Digital Storm Totals from DIX and OKX are too low this Wednesday evening in s NJ. Already 1/2-1.2" amounts in parts of southern Ocean County(see attached weather underground). Look at the radar loop and you can see if that intensity comes overhead, torrential rain will occur. Long ways to go. HEAVIEST rainfall may come in two bands---one at sunrise NJ-LI, and then 3P-10P for ne NJ-CT/LI and extreme se NYS with good frontogenesis probably yielding some 1.5"+ amounts in 1 hour. 952P/9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdrag Posted September 10, 2020 Author Share Posted September 10, 2020 Good Thursday morning all, Radar continues to underestimate rainfall amounts. .06 here in Wantage and OKX/DIX radar did not detect any accumulation here. Added two maps of midnight-630A rainfall. one from nw NJ where you can see some of the cities. The other with a 3.06" centered on Oceanside NY (w LI).
