And the vortices near the surface. So pretty 

Are those the little things you see at the center there? (I think I recognize the shape from satellite images)

Landfall appears imminent. 

 

That TC report is already highly anticipated. 

So landfall is only official once the entire eye is onshore?

Last dropsondes suggests Melissa has peaked/leveled off with the 895 mb 7 kt. Not going to matter much at this point though as far as Jamaica though.

"Leveling off" at 895 mb goodness gracious....

This looks like this was from yesterday.

Latest sonde: 902mb w/ 22kt wind. Melissa is on the cusp of going sub 900mb.

When's the last time that happened this close to landfall?

We should update the thread title to major, no?

They looked like a bunch of wet floor signs--and consequently they slipped over the Packers

I'll be pissed if they trade him, but that's the word among the pundits. Again, this is a Harbaugh thing. "He is the odd man out". Oh fuck off with that crap. Hopefully he is out after this season, although I doubt it.

I still think Harbaugh might just "retire". To me he just doesn't seem to have the energy and just seems "old" in the sidelines interviews and presses. I cannot imagine Biscotti is happy with what's going on--and just because he hasn't said anything publicly doesn't necessarily mean approval (he seems to prefer to stay rather quiet during the season).

Season still alive, lol

ETA: the WDI is pretty strong for at least one traditional good coastal storm that puts down a large blanket of warning totals through the MA and NE. We really are due for something like that.

Wouldn't a scenario like that be more likely for Philly.to NE though? Hard to see us getting warning snowfall from a coastal in a nina. I mean the same dynamic is at play each time, isn't it?

I'd be a little surprised if they face any punishment. This sounds nore like a dumb oversight than anything intentional.

Harbaugh lol. He was exposed this morning by Rapoport. Lamar ran the scout team yesterday.

Ha...well the funny thing is, in his usual fashion, he never said Lamar was playing so he's covered, lolol

Launched a weather balloon today for my atmosphere and weather class! 

Hey look it's a UFO 

Just heard Ava give @mappy a shout out talking about being below freezing last night...I was like hey I know who "my friend _____ in Parkton" is

Speaking of the trenches, they better make a change at at least one guard position this week. Looking at you Faalele. He is so terrible yet we are constantly told he is talented and improving. GTFOH with that shit. Ben Cleveland is better and a natural guard but perpetually in Harbaugh's illogical doghouse.

The Faalele debacle stinks to high heaven of favoritism. He's probably a "good kid" that Harbaugh dotes on. There is literally zero football reason he should be out there and it's become annoying as heck, smh It's gaslighting at this point.

 I didn't say the entire roster was bad. If a team isn't good in the trenches, they aren't good lol.

Oh okay. Well you said "the roster overall"...so that implies the roster as a whole. Start saying what you actually mean, dang it lol 

Funny thing about those trenches...on the defensive side we were second in sacks last year with a similar roster. What happened? Madubike being out must be a major factor. Either way...lack of a premier pass rusher continues to plague EDC like wide receiver did Ozzie, smh

I don't see a meaningful trade happening. I mean, who is actually available that will have a big impact? Simmons? Crosby? No chance. They got what they got and will have to live with it. Why the hell is Ojabo still on this team? EDC has done a poor job with this roster overall. 

He's done poorly in the trenches. But no way you can say the entire roster is bad. All he has to do is fix ths lines next year and we will be a more complete team.

Ravens sign Carl Lawson. Eh, mid. Not likely gonna move the needle much on pressuring the QB.

Yeah but I mean...you can't expect needle moving on the FA market at this point in the season, lol If any needle moving happens it'll have to be via trade--and we still have  a week to go for that.

Buckle up friend....gonna be a long winter of rug pulls

Can't be a rug pull if ya don't believe it from the beginning. Literally any model solution that shows a hit we have to throw it out. We know what the limitations of both the nina and the -PDO regime are, right? So like...why give a "good" model run showing something different the time of day? Better to just ignore it!

Lol Terps. Bruh this year is a different kind of losing...talent to win but yet they don't. Hat trick for MD sports just got a little more likely!

We all need to remember this for the winter. Early read is a trend towards drier solutions as we near an event.

And could you even say drier here and wetter northeast? And Yeah these are real time clues and not just baseless doom. Doesn't mean we can't get something this winter, but...if the models spit out juiced up solutions at like Day 3-4...hugging those willing just set us up for disappointment. Better to assume it's gonna be drier and than modeled and a smaller event...and be surprised if it doesn't

Trends continue with a reduction in precip. No surprise here, as the main rain area is well North of the forum. 

 

Classic nina precip field?
