Had a pretty intense but short lived storm move through Greeneville about 30 minutes ago. Picked up half an inch of rain in 15 mins

Maybe I will get more than 0.20 inches of rain this time.

Yes. Much of that has to do with modeled tropical cyclone activity. Mainly Typhoon Dolphin and 94W in the near term. Other stuff is modeled beyond that too. TC's can play some games with those RMM charts sometimes rendering them misleading. I enjoy looking at the MJO a little more in depth when I am able to. Including satellite obs. Notice around the MC it's actually mostly clear. The underlying MJO signal is poised to make it's way across the west Pacific then interact with the el nino. Beginning to offer amplification as it continues working its way further east during week 2. Aiding a powerful WWB as a result. That's my take on it anyway.

This isn’t about measuring GW. This is about using the most appropriate 30 year period to determine what normals are. Due to GW, normals have increased a couple of degrees over the last few decades as you know. Thus, 1951-80 has been outdated for decades to use to determine normals, which are always changing.

For early Augdewst, this is solid https://imgur.com/a/LKPmfMD#o6bl5XP

Flood watch hoisted Times they are a changing

The longer range model consensus is suggesting the possibility of a very long MJO phase 6 streak later this month, the 2nd this year possibly reaching 14+ days, and with a likely max magnitude of 2+. Longest MJO ph. 6: # days; max mag 7/28-8/18/1984: 22; 2.5; 7/15-8/4/1996: 21; 2.0; 10/13-31/2022: 19; 2.2 6/13-30/1984: 18; 2.0; 1/5-21/2026: 17; 2.7 11/16-12/1/1998: 16; 2.5 10/6-20/1988: 15; 3.0 7/19-8/1/2018: 14; 2.5 2/25-3/10/1997: 14; 3.6

Down here in the extreme drought area and flood watch area that was supposed to get the soaking rain today... Well it's been a rather sunny day after 0.43 this morning... Still well under 2 inches total since late June...

I can totally see a narrow zone or a few towns getting 3-5” but that would be combined with both the morning stuff and if anything fires in the afternoon

1.63 and rising fast Elimsport.

Another rain slug coming up for the I-95 corridor to the Bay.

Got ya.... Duration argues against widespread flooding issues but parameters, as stated by Wiz, are in place for some localize issues... It's almost always about intensity rates and confidence is rarely high in these situations. The low/mid level moisture surge could easily produce some surprise heavier than modeled zones and forecasters should not sleep on "potential".

That’s incredible - we’ve had good rain the last hour finally

AC -DC 1.85” here

Flood Watch extended to northeastern NJ counties

Beautiful sea breeze but cloudy. Pool feels fantastic

Some weenie in NY ridin’ along in his automobile trolling mPing with 5” hail obs, blowing dust, and overflowing rivers. Hate to see it.

Thunder!

I am saying don’t see widespread big rain amounts / flooding etc . This isn’t that type of setup

DC streets quickly turn to rivers with this type of rain. Happened on Tuesday as well.

Yeah I was driving through it on 16th street. That was a mess. Tons of standing and flowing water on the road.

And you’ll sit in endless traffic on a Sunday. Stay home
