After comparing apparent weather with forecasted weather, over the last 5 days in the LSV, I think the bar is set pretty low for who can or cannot make it in forecasting.
You must not be signed up for my weekly grass update email. PM me your address and I will get you on the list. We had a little grass survive under trees but about 2/3 of our yard died and is now weeds or brown dead grass. We are going to be putting about a grand in overseeding this fall.
I will respectfully disagree. LOL. I could out perform most forecasters with just the Nam and nothing else (short term). The other models are just interference sometimes. This past winter was the worst winter ever for snowfall at MDT so not a good winter for verification.
The Nam is the go to model for snow hunters. It seems less reliable with misses. Not sure where to find verification for models concentrated on 72 hours or less.
I was guessing as such but did not want to laugh at our total of 7" (that is more than I had in May, June, July and August combined). Northern Franklin county is skewing my area.
Thanks for the reply!
SO what is the meaning of areal precip? I know most of the LSV is below normal for the last 60 days so it cannot mean actual precip. Here if you take Mid June to Mid August we are about 4" below "average"
Nam might still show that but it definitively lessened the totals from 6Z to 12Z.
Edit-It actually lowered the totals in Western PA but still going to lay down 1" plus in some areas S Central and South East PA.
If you read their AFD they are torn between the Euro and Icon vs. everything else. Most models bring a weak low right under us and lay down the goods on Sunday for the southern half of PA. See Nam below. Unfortunately pretty much nothing helps northern PA now.
This winter people might have to pour water into the Susky up north if MDT folks want their normal ice jams. Lots of dark red's on this map. I believe that is bad as it can get. My way and West/North from there. Lots of un-ranked as well so I bet there are a lot more reds in reality.
Yea, it has gotten so bad the last couple months that I hesitate to even look at the GFS at this point. The thing is the Nam, Icon, CMC had a similar wet period for Thur-Sun and they are are turning out to be wrong except Dr. Drought.
