This is not a political thread!

Thanks for the kind words about NWS Mount Holly. We do our best, despite the staffing shortage which continues to go on.

I am not going to speak for TV Meteorologists since I am not one and not there to see what they are looking at and how their decisions are made on what to go with. Regarding this past weekend storm, the model guidance overall were having trouble with the split flow. This involved a system moving across the Great Lakes and another one sliding across the Gulf Coast States. What appeared to have happened was the systems phased a bit faster allowing warmer air to be advected farther north and west, therefore moving the area of lift in the atmosphere farther inland. There was mesoscale banding signatures showing up in the guidance, but the million dollar question was where would it set up. The actual surface low I think did not track that much closer to the coast from what the guidance had, however the quicker phasing of the systems provided stronger lift to the northwest side and therefore the snow shield was able to get farther west.

Are you an expert weather forecaster? There is a ridiculous amount of model data available now, and in my opinion this can certainly cause problems. I have been a meteorologist for the NWS now for over a decade and there is only so much time to look at model guidance and coordinate with neighboring offices and national centers, plus to complete all the forecast database grid editing. More and more data but not more time to look at it.

If you are referring to his map posted above, that is for the Friday night and Saturday event not the one later Thursday night and early Friday morning. Not sure if there was confusion on that or not.

LOL

Can't argue with ya there.
-
Maybe they are going with the "wow factor" given all the graphics (?).
-
Yeah but it is local neighborhood weather. That is basically how they have been 'selling' it to the viewers.
-
Yeah, the new graphics have a rather busy look to them.

AccuWeather just recently extended their 45-day forecasts out to 90 days. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/capital-weather-gang/wp/2016/04/11/accuweather-extends-its-controversial-45-day-weather-forecasts-to-90-days/

That is ridiculous.

Sheena is not on vacation, as she is on the early morning newscast for two weeks. I do not work there so not sure what is up, but with Glenn out due to an illness then why don't they just have Sheena cover his slot? Unless Bill Henley who does the early morning newscast is on vacation. Not sure.

There was a new woman on last weekend in place of Brittney, although I forget her name.

LOL

Well then, I learn something new everyday. Sounds like some got their feelings hurt on both sides.
-
It is not just what happened here though. I do lurk but just do not spend that much time on the forums anymore.
-
Understood and thank you. The rift between certain people on this site and the other one is unreal in my opinion.
-
Well then don't reply to me about childish BS of spamming. Unreal that someone cannot simply post a link that someone asked about.
-
Do you want to try again? I posted it once!
-
Seriously?
-
Give me a break! Someone asked about a link since that site was mentioned. It is simply passing along a link to another site on the internet!
-
And the deleting of the other sites link here is ridiculous! Who and why is it being deleted?
-
I belong to this site and also the other one, but I do not post that much for several reasons.

So basically she is covered from 12 to 32 inches.
