I would guess that 0.5qpf is more of a function of spatial averaging done to arrive at the ensemble mean, some members are going to have the band placement in different locations etc. There is no way the max water totals where the def band sets up will be that low.

 

Although it is more relevant for CAMs (because warm-season convection is smaller scale and generally more spatially heterogeneous).. probability matched mean is a better tool in instances like this where the placement of discrete features comes into play.

How do you go from what you posted a hour ago to this? This is great posting. Am I living in a Twilight Zone? Wtf

I will say it....I can see this sub and Philly sub both sharing in the jackpot zone with NYC fringed slightly and the N New England crew smoking cirrus. Would love to score together here my Southern friends! :wub:

love that confidence, keep it up Ralph:hug:

Just curious, as someone who wants to learn...

Where did everyone get all of their knowledge from? I assume just a long time of exposure to it allows you to learn, and not skipping an opportunity to learn something new helps? Is there anything that would help immediately to learn a bit more other than listen?

Well, I got my degree (undergrad and grad) in meteorology, though not a forecaster per se.  That's where a lot of my background synoptic and other related knowledge comes from.  But beyond that, just reading in here (and other places), you learn the tendencies of how things work in this area.  There are a lot of good posters on here, even if you have to filter out some of the BS posts.  Pretty much any of the local "red tagger" mets in here have a plethora of great information and insight.  But even those who are not technically "red tags", like @psuhoffman, @showmethesnow, @Bob Chill among others are great (though showme and Bob haven't been around here in some time, unfortunately).  Really just reading a lot in this forum (and living here long enough) in a lot of ways helps.  I learned an immense amount just by doing that, honestly.
