As long as you have the proper airmass in place and are achieving maximum or near maximum mixing...who cares if the sun angle is "weakened".

Doesn't include August. The US Regional Maps section still does not work on NRCC

This is really depressing. Tired of these cloudy, cool days. Summer got swept under us like a table cloth

I think the 12z GFS yesterday kissed the high mountains of Montana with some snow (it was around 300 hr out).

yeah looks like front takes its sweet time departing along with a wave or two of low pressure developing along it

Seems like there should be a narrow swath of some decent rainfall totals tomorrow (2-3'').

It's super frustrating It just goes to show how difficult it is to get a favorable pattern here. It's funny when you look back over the years at how many times big MCSs and big squall lines get deflected to our southwest.

Could be a pretty nasty MCS or QLCS that impacts far western NY into west/central PA later tomorrow.

Now here's a loaded gun sounding

hmmm guess it was but I didn't recall that storm having that track. I thought it was more like this...like the fujiwara was off the SE coast. But yeah my memory isn't that good anymore...seems like the past decade everything just starts blending together. Must be getting old

I think we ended up getting some rain from that at some point. It just circled like an aircraft in a holding pattern for several days then came close enough and I think an approaching trough drew in some moisture. I don't even remember if it even directly impacted the SE/mid-Atlantic

What was the storm that Fujiwaraed (sp?) off the SE Coast several years ago? I remember at school one classmate in particular freaking out thinking the storm was going to hit us...remember even some of the models were showing a track into New England or closeby even 3-4 days out and I kept saying no chance b/c the upper pattern didn't favor it. I remember one day (this was like the final model run which showed the hit) he said to me "you still think its missing us". I said yes...he went all crazy and during our broadcasts for class he was going all hype crazy

One thing that does have me nervous is we see a flip regime into the Fall which favors a eastern ridge and that pattern strengthens into the winter and we see a more typical strong/super strong eastern EL Nino driven ridge...not saying this happens, but it is a concern.

I 100% agree with this. You can never be too sure, especially when there are uncertainties still at play. Slight wobbles in track (tropical/winter) can have huge ramifications on extent of impacts and extent/severity of impact.

I think the one I was thinking of was Isabelle, however, I do remember Charlie. I remember talking with my Earth Science teacher about Charlie which I believe was my junior year in HS...Isabelle was a bit before that.

ahhh that sounds familiar. makes sense because I am pretty sure it was during early high school years

What was the storm we got...I want to say sometime between 2002-2006...I'm pretty sure I was in high school and we got a crap ton of rain and some wind. I think there was even a tornado watch. I want to say maybe 2004 or 2005 (it was not the remnants of Katrina).

Floyd was pretty fun (well I enjoyed it being so young). We had this brook that ran a bit back behind our house and I remember getting off the bus from school walking home and it looked more like a raging stream.

Probably sometime early December riding builds in and dominates for a few months

Should just rename Padre Island Tropical Landfalling Island

summer is warm no matter what...even if below-average (unless it's a BRUTAL day with clouds, rain, and 60's). winter is cold no matter what...even if above-average.

Basically a much needed soaking for them and not too much rain to yield significant flooding concerns.

I was even going to think mid 90's. I remember being super young.

I think there were one or two nights I stayed up the whole night (or at least woke up every few hours) just to see the bulletin across the screen with an update.

Was that early 2000's? I thought that was earlier...like in the late 90's. I remember though TWC and I think even local news being extremely concerned up this way. I remember TWC having the bulletins that went from top of screen down as opposed to the scroll at the bottom. That's how you knew it was some serious ****
