Idk about you but I sat here eating Cheetos wiping my fingers on my pants knowing I’m a full blown meteorologist on the side and I’m smarter than everyone else around me.
Apparently we’re still in good shape for 4-6. John Bernier doubled down on his 5-10 for metro Richmond. I trust him but I’m so skeptical of this forecast.
If someone could please post DTs final map when he posts that’d be great. He blocked me after calling him out years ago for his maps being irresponsible and looking for clicks.
We are now in nowcasting mode. Models are virtually going to be locked in. If the NAM busts open again at 0z it’ll be a major outlier and the only model doing so. 3-5 is still the best bet. I think JB is trying to help Matt not look awful.
He will backtrack significantly or he’ll be stubborn and keep totals up to 10. WRIC is being irresponsible in my opinion with this map. The comments on Facebook just show how uninformed people are. I went to the grocery store at lunch and people are mass purchasing groceries.
Wonder how Matt DiNardo feels right about now. DT is probably chugging whiskey typing up his usual “models change and are not definite, I used the data I had at the time blah blah blah”. Nah bro, you did that solely for clicks.
This is likely spot on. Western parts of Henrico towards short pump may only even see 1-3. It sucks, but it is what it is. What can we do? Nothing. Enjoy it falling even if it’s not the amount you want. You can always drive to HR If you want to see totals.
Anyone here should be ecstatic if we manage to get 3 inches. That may even be tough to do. The NAM is still the outlier even with those totals. I could lower my final call to 1-2 and that may be much more realistic.
