Expand Yea, that map is a bit confusing as I see the small strip of normal temps and then they are suggesting that a large area is above normal however it is percentage based probability that their call is right. So people see the reds and think the darker the red, the more above normal but a day at MDT where it is 82 and 62 would constitute a red and be in the 60% while a day of 75 and 54 would not necessarily be blue vs. falling into the 40 (or 30) percent of having been forecasted to be red. Its basically a map that says the GFS is below normal and the Euro and CMC are above so we slightly better chance of above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand PS, if you compared the 0Z EC with the 12Z, the trend is for cooler and much cooler a bit north of us (compared to 0Z and especially compared to 12Z yesterday.) One day I think the 18Z Temp at Pitt is down 5-6 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
