That happened to me once. Growing up in NJ. Watched this band of snow coming east from PA but it never made it. Front end started to dry up as the front advanced until the back edge caught up to the front end like 1 mile from me and the whole thing dried up.
Unfortunately that’s the band I was hopeful we could get under a couple days ago. But that’s been gone for a while. Now I’m just praying I don’t end up in the subsidence between that band and the fgen associated band to the south.
Oh I had that duel banding structure in my forecast. I buy that. It’s the general drying at the last minute in less sure of. There will be winners and losers based on meso scale banding though.
The trends are what they are but the storm had been over performing in many locations to our west. And I’ve noted several times over the years when guidance pulled this drying up thing right at the last minute and it was wrong. We will know real soon.
If you’re going to reference my post please quote or link it so people can see for themselves. You’re misrepresenting what my exchange with chuck was about.
He criticized the NWS not my forecast. The NWS went higher than me. But I felt his attack was unfair. He made several inaccurate statements. He was trying to make a case they had no justification for their high snowfall forecasts and denied models are trending lower with qpf.
The NWS made those forecasts this morning based on 12z data that at the time was averaging around .5qpf and trending upward. It’s not fair to use information that came out after they made those forecasts to call them unjustified. He also inexplicably twice claimed guidance never showed more qpf then when I called him out and showed the trends he blew it off and switched to other arguments.
Chuck can be brilliant. He can also be infuriating at times. And just because he has issues doesn’t mean he gets to attack someone with misrepresentation or flat out lies and not get called out.
Lastly we go back and forth a lot. We have a rapport in the other forum. We often argue but it’s not hostile. I respect him but in this case he was wrong and misrepresenting things in a way unfair to NWS.
