We ended up just under 2" here. A mild 40 right now. Central MD got all the rain they could possibly want. The run of the Euro that showed the Hecs/Mecs was right on precip totals just not temps. Radar estimated qpf totals.
It is literally 50 different ideas based on data that is purposely entered differently. I believe it is the same "software" as the EC being run at a lower resolution with purposely altered data to allow for evaluation of uncertainty in the Op. But some people like the dissection aspect of this hobby which is easier to do with the Op. So, to each their own but folks who like to talk Op runs are good too.
Very true, just do not think we are able to dissect as many details from an ensemble run which is an average of 50 members (plus one control) who are fed different data than the OP to allow for evaluation of uncertainty. I think the ensembles are great to check up on the OP and see the odds that the Op is right, but if into model dissection, it is hard to do it with 51 solutions in one run.
Ocala Florida has frozen and below freezing temps in their forecast around Christmas. Always a good sign of major cold here. This was sent to me, I do not use "The Bug".
Plenty of Mec/Hec on the ensemble members. The eps ensembles use slightly different starting points (except the control I believe) to cover many options but with so many showing at least a mecs, probably suggests the ceiling allows it. The perfect phase issue makes the floor a bit lower as well.
Here is the Nam from 24 hours ago showing where it predicted snow for a few hours this afternoon...since we(some) were singing its praises. Cumberland, far Northern Adams and York, Dauphin, N Franklin, etc...even very close to NE Lancaster
Nooners, 34 and heavy rain. 1.10" now. Just checked my contact part way up to high rock, at around 1500 feet, and they are 32 and Frz rain. No snow up there yet.
That would certainly limit the need for mosquito spray! LOL. We were at Assateague a few months ago. My wife does not know it, but she is getting a Nat Park pass for Christmas. Not paying to see the horses next time!
