Ed, snow and hurricane fan

Worse the two counties to the N

Jim Edds will have a daytime intercept.

Nice outflow boundary, gusty winds, a little thunder and 20 drops of rain FM 1960/TC Jester region N Houston.

I wonder if the earlier bend W increases the threat to the Philippines, although most GEFS members recurve before landfall.. Cat 3 over or near miss of Guam is a big deal. Looking at maps a few days ago, I forgot all about Guam because it is so small. I spent a couple of hours in Guam, in the airport.

Adjusted to 10.5/ 4.5/ 2

Not a super typhoon per JTWC (70 knots), but I can get satellite images into the thread without using up more attachment space with Twitter. GFS does get it to 915mb next weekend. GFS and ensemble mean are a near miss for Luzon.

Has some very weak Euro and GFS ensemble support. Not impossible it could become a weak named STS. I think the first lemon of the season

I used to be a subscriber, both AccuWeather, and WxBell of JB. Weather Bell tripled my intro rate, and JB's focus shifted to politics. I agreed with a lot of his politics, but he went down the DJT rabbit hole, and I was paying for weather, not politics. Did I mention WxBell tripled my annual subscription? Anyway, I don't think he operates for clicks or retweets. I know only amateur weenies are supposed to wish-cast, but he is a degreed wish-caster. He sees hurricanes every year in the Northeast because he grew up in Rhode Island, and also sees snowy winters. But because it is what he honestly wants. Just my opinion. Maybe he is monetizing weenie-ism, but I don't think he thinks that is what he is doing.

TS Mawaw (it will be called Betty in the RP) when it enters Pagasa area of responsibility) may be a threat to the Philippines in a week. I don't have the attachment space to post the GIF, but it is looking good. https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/sat/satlooper.php?region=02W&product=ir Sub 920 on GFS in a week. Op GFS and Euro are a near miss N of Luzon, 0Z Euro ensemble is close. Re file name, Pagasa uses Filipino names, usually English or Spanish, and are a lot easier to remember than the WMO names of WPac cyclones.

2006 would make by contest predictions pretty good. I don't pretend to understand all the Tweets, but these guys sound like they know what they are talking about. The balance of a 1997 Death Niño against an abnormally warm Atlantic.

I'm still feeling somewhat below normal, based on what will be a super ENSO event (although there is useful discussion on the ENSO thread that warm anomalies outside the ENSO 3.4 region may change the expected atmospheric response. Below normal, but not super-bearish. Euro forecasts don't show what I'd expect from a 97ish ENSO, but then again, almost all the oceans are shown with decent probability of above normal SSTs. I'm staying 9/4/2 because it looks like many are going normal (~14, 7, 3) so I'm separated from the pack. The above NY/New England comment, I'm aware the chance in any one year is low. Not pictured, 3 month Euro 500 mb heights, the whole world is normal to above normal with a few small areas with some probability of below, which doesn't seem possible. The whole world can't have higher than normal 500 mb heights, can it?

9/4/2. Betting on a 97 El Nino. 11 years since Sandy, I teach statistics and probability, I know 'due' is not science, but I don't care, NY/New England are due. One of the 4, maybe even the 2, through E Nassau and into Connecticut, and just W of the river into Massachusetts.

GFS has changed little. San Antonio and Guadalupe rivers in the Coastal Plain already approaching moderate flood. Although the heaviest (5 to greater than 7 inches in 5 days) bullesyes are S of the San Antonio and Guadalupe rivers, they are still at looking 2-5 inches

It produces wall clouds, but refuses to produce for Timmer.

Reed Timmer in the Dominator is on it.

Some differences in models, but widespread 5 inches along the Rio Grande from the Big Bend to the coast threatens major flood in South Texas and Coahuila and Tamaulipas.

This is a how much for Philly question, it looks like it'd take some serious internet research, (I did some Google w/o much luck) I remember the 97 hurricane season, but how was Winter 97-98 in Texas? Warm ENSO is supposed to mean cooler with better chance for snow (Cold ENSO is warmer and drier, but the last few super-freezes were La Nina years), but I don't know if a Super Nino is even cooler, even more wet, and an even greater chance of a measurable snow. 2017 was the last measurable snow in Houston. 2021 might be the official one, but that was frozen drizzle. I learned this year NWS counts any frozen winter precip as snow.

Moderate Risk SETX of flash flooding. HRRR 36 hour rainfall, 5-7 inch bullseyes near Houston, 9 inch E/SE of San Antonio. What will the San Marcos and Guadalupe rivers do?

Also a nasty cell in the middle of nowhere W of San Antonio (closer to the river)

Storms weakened just in time to miss immediate DFW area. Still a threat in Texas, but large the blob of rain and weak storms along I-10 SAT to HOU would seem to limit destabilization/ SPC sees Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and Missouri as the more signicant threat.. That makes sense for May, I guess. South of the storms in Iowa, maximum insolation. Maybe some nice chaser pics later. You up there, @Quincy?

Heavy rain, looking at 12Z and 15Z HRRR, may be a threat DFW area, although WPC Day 1 is Marginal. Even as a blob with little shear, dry adiabatic (9.1C/Kg) lapse rates 850-500mb per 3 km NAM, big hail has to be a possibility. Near 1500 J/Kg downcape. HRRR lapse rates not quite as impressive, but shear is higher. Ferris, TX, just ahead of the storms.

3 km NAM, DFW Metroplex, 6 pm as intense cells form in the area. Shear is meh, but look at how fat the CAPE is. I wonder if DFW gets into the 10% hatched hail.
