MN Transplant Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 12 hours ago, Eskimo Joe said: Not sure how accurate this is, but implies a soaker ahead. I do know something about this. NCAR is running FV3-based ensembles at 3km over the US (13km global) out to 204 hours and MPAS ensembles at 3km over the US (15km global, tapered) out to 132 hours. Just from a couple of days of looking, it seems like the probability matched mean is generally higher than the straight ensemble mean. Here is where we are for the first event: FV3 MPAS 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Interesting @MN Transplant. We'll see how accurate this is for the weekend. Maybe another tool in the kit for future events? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 2" of rain over 3-4 days should be nice, even if the weekend won't be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been so dry that some of the waterways in Montgomery County have dropped below the level for our flood gages and are reading zero water level. When we had the rain last Saturday, there were watersheds so low that it took close to 4 hours to even see a small response on portions of Great Seneca Creek and Cabin John Branch.

Right now they are only going to be running this during the Spring Experiment period (mostly May), but it is forward-looking towards what we will see in the future with modeling. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in a bit of a micro-climate where higher elevations from my W around to my NE result in a "shadow" effect where lines and clusters of spring/summer thunderstorms frequently miss or split around. I need to cash in on this synoptic rain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was some headfaking with whether the Sunday-Monday storm would stay more OTS, but looks like not. Long duration should help this soak in and not just run off.

Eskimo Joe Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 12z Euro has a legit comma head and almost like a trowel feature over I-95 at 00z Friday. PWATS approaching 1.75". Very Nino-esque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 If the 12z Euro is to be believed, some parts of the I-95 corridor could push 4" to 5" of rain. By the time Monday morning rolls around. @usedtobe always said it takes a flood to break a drought. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
