JTA66 Posted December 7, 2021 Author Share Posted December 7, 2021 3 hours ago, Hurricane Agnes said: This is something that I have observed not just this year, but for a number of years now. The LR seem to catch on to something that is interesting and will provide a good heads-up - whether it is some system or even some major temperature shift (whether a heat signal or cold signal). Then in comes the MR and excuse my language, when all is said and done, they suck ass for verifying. So you're left with the SR that although might not match exactly what the LR picked up on, eventually better nails the extent and timing, etc. It's like the MR tries too hard to do "what ifs" and goes for some of the most extreme solutions. Got down to 32 as a low this morning and am up to 41 and partly sunny with a deck of high clouds rolling in. The dp really crashed with the front, going from the mid-50s down to the low 20s and is currently at 24 here. Agnes!! I've lowered my bar to seeing high cirrus off to my southeast tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mid-range "it's shifting north" / "it's shifting south" / "it's shifting east" / "it's shifting west" dance from run to run gets to be ridiculous. I like going by the long range "signal" and then will start my planning from there until nowcast time. The other stuff in between has become a lot of noise. Just listening to KYW this afternoon and hearing whoever it was doing the weather (may have been Brittney Shipp from NBC10) having to de-escalate the hype earlier in the week, was pretty painful. Sometimes surprises happen though and we get something that will "over-perform", so we'll have to wait and see what will actually happen tonight and tomorrow.

Hurricane Agnes Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Just now, Phil Connors said: of course, but you get the idea. Average temperature should never be expected to be normal. I don't think I've ever seen the "average temperature" be considered the "normal temperature". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was mainly the roads around/leading into the North Wales train station. I was thinking don't they follow the weather forecast at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your buddy Brittany/NBC 10 during their 6pm newscast going with 70F for Sat and 67F for the burbs. Record high for Sat in Philly is 65F so that will be annihilated. Don't mind records lows but I can do without record highs... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems something like at least a 66 is pretty much unanimous across the different weather media outlets/sites as a high, and would be enough. What will be interesting to see if there is a record high min. Was digging around trying to find what that was... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard about the car theft with the little girl in it on KYW this morning although the location they mentioned in their report was completely bollixed - it's not "56th and Green" but the 5600 block of Greene St. (I know exactly where that is - not far from Greene and Chelten Ave). I've been watching that band get sheared apart on and off early this morning although it seems to have finally held together better now. The dp here is 24 so not sure how much of it will survive beyond producing virga but will see. Temp is marginal here at 33. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dseagull Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Had some pixie dust fall for about 1 minute while loading my boat a bit ago. No returns on radar. Barnegat NJ. Zero wind, hope the tautog bite will be on! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I just peeped out and am not seeing anything yet, although that band to the west is not over this area either (it would probably need that lobe from the high to move further east). In any event, it's currently overcast and 34 with dp still lowish at 24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL that is an interesting thought, although I would think something like that would show up as small blobs of green on the radar. These looked almost like those scattered pop-up thunderstorm cells that we see in summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temp was holding at 35 but just edged up to 36 with dp 26. Checked the MA forum and aside from the there doesn't seem like much more than virga going on down there either.
