Amped

Got a dusting in Columbia. Snowing decently now.

Finally some decent flakes in downtown columbia, nothing sticking. NW Howard County has like 1" already.

Got flakes with a couple of raindrops mixed in.

Finally got some decent virga overhead.

Big jump in totals for north Central MD. It went from dryslot to jackpot in the last 3 run cycles.

Love the supergreen fall grass. Its like a perfect giveaway of the long exposer.

Radar estimate of about 2.75" in Greenwhich CT

It slowed down quite a bit at landfall.

Interesting radar in the last hour. It started with what looked like concentric eyewalls, now there are about 4 or 5 mesovortices and the old inner eyewall is one of them.

The initialization was really bad on wed-friday. It was already 100 miles too far east and 10mb too strong at hour zero on some runs.

The eye is closed off on radar now.

Yeah but there's a troff thats been keeping them separate. When it lifts out, it should result in both a west turn and a center alignment.

1002mb usually isn't well defined. The Euro is not really showing much deepening until tomorrow morning. It probably becomes a hurricane tomorrow evening and a major by Sunday afternoon.

No matter how far southwest it tracks, it turns right back over Jamaica.

Jamaica will disrupt the core if it moves directly over it. 20 miles south or north and it may actually help consolidate the core and intensify faster. Also the eastern part has the highest terrain.
