Some models do show that, now that I am seeing it more closely. A little unsure how it shakes out though when it's got convection thrown in. Good s/w so maybe deformation rains?

Because in the summertime, it usually is a nowcast lol. I didn't think Ida was that much of a nowcast, I think we had a good idea about what would happen.

Agree but the failure of futurecast for the most part leads to nowcasting....and to make matters worse every Boston TV met relies on it far too much...This morning every future cast was different. In the forum(s) there is more reasons provided for forecasts. And afterwards there are reasons provided for why a forecast did or did not work out. There should be a forecasting challenge to raise money for charity.....Boston TV mets vs the forum mets....the challenge lasts from Dec1-April 1....

Yes its still summer here until at least the 3rd week in Sept. Look forward to the next 2 days of drying and chamber music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst year for my gardens I can recall. Apparently the summer weather was a bonus for Mass apple growers, bad from other crops... from an article in the Glob the other day: "Happily, June’s heat and sun followed by July’s plentiful rain has yielded a healthy crop. “Apples are going to be big and juicy this year,” says Nicewicz. “The water helped their size.” At the same time, the rain was problematic for peaches, he says. “They lost some of their flavor with so much water and less sunlight. Bob Connors, fifth-generation owner of Connors Farm in Danvers, agrees: “The apple crop looks beautiful this year. Wish I could say the same about the cucumbers and tomatoes.” He explains that the early-summer heat wasn’t detrimental because the orchard got abundant water in July. “The trees never stressed,” he says. Water is critical, from rain or irrigation, when the fruit is sizing during summer months." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most use the RPM or GRAF, but some show the HRRR too. The thing is, I don't think anybody mentions or displays the model type on air. So I can see where it leads to confusion. Also, that is one snapshot. I'll take hi res models like an ensemble. Look at trends, see if the same area is identified for heavy rain etc. The run to run of the HRRR won't always show the same area getting mauled, but I can get an idea from a multitude of runs showing the same similar geographical area getting nailed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never browned or got crispy. I have needed to mow at least once a week all summer. I have never had that happen. Last year I went weeks without mowing. My water bill is like half of previous summers. I haven't watered, outside of typical plants that dry out on the deck. That is unheard of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
