  1. High rainfall rate, it could be an error but perhaps not “The SFMR performance is highly reliable at hurricane-force wind speeds, but accuracy is found to degrade at weaker wind speeds, particularly in heavy precipitation. Specifically, a significant overestimation of surface wind speeds is found in these conditions, suggesting inaccurate accounting for the impact of rain on the measured microwave brightness temperature.” https://journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/atot/31/11/jtech-d-14-00028_1.xml
  2. I heard Solomons or near there got a waterspout but yet to see and photos or videos of it. Kind of surprising considering there should be plenty of people down there.
  3. Would you be able to share the video? Looks pretty bad from the still shot.
  4. Tornado looks to be south of Columbia proper so assuming you’re in Columbia proper, you should be fine.
  5. Tornado should be just passing Gaithersburg now. CC drop lining up quite well with couplet and strong gate to gate shear.
  6. I suspect there will be a few storm surveys tomorrow. We will see.
  7. It isn’t? Or you are saying it is forecasted to be…
  8. When is ever an appropriate time to use the PDC maps? I am pretty sure they only had 6-8 inches for our region for the last storm and we know how that turned out.
  9. Gfs is definitely smoking something, Plymouth with 30 inches and the white mountains with over 50 inches.
  10. I’ll second what someone else said. The NAM blew the mid level warmth surge forecast last storm. Had sleet/freezing rain up into the white mountains. In reality, only got as far north as knocking on the door of Plymouth. Was off by 25-50 miles up to game time.
  11. It does seem it will at least be cold enough to give ski areas some real accumulating snow. Looking forward to that.
  12. NS will eventually start acting destructively with the set up if it gets too far behind. The one time the AI model is right is to ruin SNE snow chances. All jokes aside, this storm will be a good test case to see how it does vs the other models.
  13. disjointed mess, less effective phasing, ss is more able to run ahead of ns
