  1. We're still talking a feature that is over no-man's land in the NE Pac. We're pretty much relying on just satellite sampling to get a handle on it.
  2. Watch up north for upslope, watch down south for late coastal, watch everywhere for Monday!
  3. Today I'm thankful for the 06z HRRR.
  4. Ensembles concur. Lots of sensitivity to that particular shortwave. It's almost traceable back to initialization today south of the Aleutians.
  5. I feel like the last few years have given us several good events to learn from.
  6. I think now with the SVR with tornado possible tag available we have an ideal avenue for those tricky scenarios where you aren't quite confident enough to pull the trigger on a TOR. Especially when you could argue some of these tornadoes are probably not much different than a SVR anyway. But you have to be ready to use them.
  7. Ooo, good question. I'm thinking the CT were prime "microburst" candidates because they were away from the main show on Long Island. There would've been a handful on the island that had enough damage to warrant a closer look. But I think half or less is definitely on the table without dual-pol.
  8. Now we're getting to the right number based off TDSs.
  9. I'm pretty excited we were able to get at least some up and running before this season kicked off. I helped install Zealand so I'm especially glad to see things going smoothly so far.
  10. He uses his weenie like a divining rod.
  11. I think the primary issue is too many land owners in the problem areas around the radar. Also someone in their infinite wisdom in 1993 decided that a half height tower would be fine in a stand of trees. Now that they're all grown up we're going to have to spend millions to raise the tower to full height. But that may not be until 2023 or 2024 at the earliest.
  12. And now our location is totally inadequate with trees growing up around and blocking the radar from land we don't own and can't alter, never mind the dried up well and non-potable water (we've since fixed the airborne radon issue).
  13. You can tell by some of the roundish bullseyes that there's not much data to work with in some areas. This map was probably just ArcGIS, there's elevation adjustments involved but not PRISM.
  14. This is going to be Coop and ASOS data only, so obviously there are some gaps to begin with. I think couple that with the fact that this weenie jackpot is most likely West Hampstead, they only have data back to 2004, so they've been pummeled in recent years and their normal isn't the full period that other sites are. In just under 20 years of records they have 4 100" seasons and another at 98".
  15. I'm still waiting for my 70-71 at PWM (141.5").
  16. Ginx stroll by with one of the pups and drop an upper decker in your gauge?
  17. Given my hours and always tending to be at work when the weather is bad, my wife insisted on the auto-transfer. I still think it's a little over the top, but I'll admit it's nice not to every have to worry now.
  18. We had a 52 mph at 6 am labeled York, which I'm guessing is the Nubble Light ob.
  19. There was a lot of hype and it was hard to stare down that LLJ and trust the forecast was on track, but I'm glad I didn't expand headlines.
  20. Truro tickled 93 mph (currently sustained 58 gusting to 83).
  21. HRRR has GHG with 70+ mph gusts for 6 consecutive hours starting 04z.
