Still thinking/hoping the convection steals the show and robs some of the moisture for the synoptic lift up here. What’s that HRRR show Dendy for CT?

Ya that’s not good…if those 6 plus inch amounts play out, lots of areas are gonna be inundated for sure. That’s a ton of rain in a very small window.

At least not around here. Disconcerting to say the least when you have consensus across models for a huge rain event. Likely the high ends are wrong but you never can rule out with a storm of tropical origins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid the high ends may actually pan out...there is going to be a ton of convection too and precip rates will only be enhanced under convection.

Spanks45 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 20 minutes ago, CT Rain said: This has a lot of the hallmarks of a serious flood event. I'm pretty concerned for what unfolds tonight somewhere in CT/SE NY. In other words, the baby is going to decide to come overnight tonight. That trip to Danbury should be fun. Steady rain right now, pushing 0.2" already, can't wait for an additional 4-8 inches later.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Media scrambling to find competing headlines that matches these gov agencies' hyperbole ... Now that's an interesting scenario, considering 2021's standardization of media ethics <-- lack thereof. Yet, they must be at a loss to compete with the likes of this, "Widespread, highly unusual, highly confident deadly and life threatening flood risk..." I'm not impugning WPC/NOAA .... NASA or SETI signals telling them for driving that risk along ... It is what it is. But, what can the headlines of CNN do to out-knee jerk their constituency that is more than a statement like that. It's an event to be at that cross roads in itself. LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWolf Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Actually The NWS said in their discussion, that this is at the 95th percentile for an average reoccurrence of a once in a century type event. Their words not mine lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Generally 10-year return period for WPC QPF, but potential for patches of much longer 25- and even 50-year intervals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their words not mine lol. it's important to always put "as modeled" on the end of those turn of phrases and sentences. It's easy to say, ...that is assumed; we all know that. But people then don't act like they did when the rareness proves why it is rare. That is where the gap starts to widen. When ever predicting something that rare, that inherently means we are considering something that takes very fine/precarious interaction of physical components, not perturbing the delicate machinery. Simply put, it is hard to get water that big. That's why these things are so rare; they usually fail. Just for muse: Sometimes ( even ) the advancing model tech gets into a kind of parity/or uncertain principle it even sometimes seems. Where the more accurate they get, they start to permutate weird solutions. Like the ECM blown blizzard into NYC back in ... 2016? There was really no way in reality to find the reason why the virtual realm of the model's vision ended up with such a crisis in error. That one had NWS with strongly worded Blizzard Warnings clear to Newark, and I think they may have gotten 2-4" of snow fins around parked car tires and tree trunks in a breath-arresting frigid wind toting cryo miasma instead. That's my wordy memory of it anyway LOL Bottom line, bust - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I think this will mainly be a S of Pike deal in terms of any hydro problems. I am anticipating 1”to 2” here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan11295 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 12z NAM was a bit NW with axis of heaviest precip compared to 06z in the NY/CT area. Agreed its a nowcast regarding numbers and actual jackpot areas. 3-5" would be a good soaking for this area but nothing too usual. 7-8"+ is a different mattter. 12Z rolls the heaviest precip through SNE 05-09z with 1-2" falling in a 1-2 hr window.

Could be the rare “under hype “ . They may not have a “go to” template for flooding . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
