Tomorrow is apparently euro upgrade day and this new upgrade supposedly treats the GFS like used toilet paper. Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk -

Hoping for a reverse of last year. By end of May last year I was at 17.81" which is the 67th percentile yet I still finished in the 39th percentile for the year. I'm hoping for at least one good tropical influence storm this year hopefully 2. I'd love to get a good 20-25 inches of rain throughout the summer Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk -

So here is a fun little project. It's CTP entire event database since 1996. Tried to normalize reports by population and homogenize costs to compare. You can do a neat little heatmap that shows preferred storm corridors to some extent. You definitely can't totally escape the rule that someone has to be there to make a storm report, but I did try to balance it out. I think there's almost 10,000 events. You can filter by all kinds of things. Enjoy!!! https://jns182wx.github.io/CTP_Storm_Catalog/ Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk -

Yes, it's broad but I swear I see more rotation in lines consistently than any other spot right in this area where the mountains form a V that I wonder if its terrain enhanced Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk -

If I were you I'd take a deep dive into station history metadata if your using raw values. One of the biggest issue I found was time of observation bias for temperature. Easily can throw things off 1-2 degres Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk -

The question this summer is will we get any tropical influence or be shut out once more. I think we've had one storm in the past 4-5 years influence us with is far below normal Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk -

Thursday with highs in the upper 50's seems like the last chilly day until fall. Maybe we can sneak in a few backdoor fronts in June and have a couple relief days of drizzle. Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk -

The one day in July I was stuck in Houston because storms cancelled my flight made me amazed anything ever was built down there. I never had so many big bites. Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk -

I've been reading up on some old time weather events around this area. Anyone know where I can get some more information regarding the August 22, 1915 Hanover tornado? Seems like it was probably part of line, and was more likely than not high end EF-2/low end EF-3 that went straight through downtown. Apparently gloves from the glove factory were found many many miles away. I pulled up the reanalysis maps and it was definitely a high shear low cape. Seemed like Harrisburg area got firehosed picking up 4"-5" of rain Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk
