  1. For the records nerds ... what's the latest 90 F day at LGA, HFD and BOS ? I imagine it's later down in LGA than CON NH ... but that +18.5 C at 850 on Tuesday at 18z, with a west wind, with zip cloud deck RH
  2. That's not 'fake' heat ... There is synoptically supported, deep layer ridge, hosting an 850 mb thermal field that if anything supports a warmer temperature than all those 77's across western NY ... All building in from the west - over top in some sense, too. Look at western NY... We may be mid 80s pan dimensionally by mid week as this scenario continues to UNfake itself. Granted not 'at the picnic tables' but such is life up at the base of cumulus clouds.
  3. Oh man. You lucky sob. Look at that, it just opened up in every direction for you. I mean it wasn't like a clearing line approached... it just evaporated. I guess that's right on time per the super ensemble. Hey what did you guys get for in bucket up there, compared to guidance? This thing yesterday appears to have been one of the larger positive busts we've seen in many years - frankly an aspect that many may not be aware or care ( for that matter) due to it being uninspired non-excitable rain. Save for NYC...But that wasn't a bust down there.
  4. Heh... acceptance'll set you free. Draw the shades for this day. You'll appreciated tomorrow around 2pm when it's 75 under sun out around 495 ..ranging to 68 at shore points, with only light wind.
  5. It's real ... but how amplified will be an interesting exercise for me. Often when models first detect aspects at the outer "temporal horizon" ( that range out in time when the noisy long range coalesces into an actual plausibility), they tend to magnify them. Ridges will be huge. Troughs will be made to look like wholesale pattern changes. But then, as the model runs and days click by ... the signal sneakily sheds, both in total tropospheric wave mechanics but also in the metrics they're bringing along ..etc. I used the metaphor in the past, the moon over the eastern horizon being the size of a celestial collision .. pure literary art. ha. Not every time, though. Toward the end of last January, the models brought a nasty cold insert into SE Canada and the NE U.S., some 8 days ahead. Looked like a candidate for "modeling moon rise". But if we looked at the D8.9.10 runs and compared them to what verified, that was an unusual case of early detection of extremeness that went on to occur. I recall a conversation ... 1.24 million years ago when I was still just a college lad. Ah yes, that stage of life where faking post adolescent precocious cynicism only covets a naivete that the world will be kind if you wait long enough ... It was still just the mid 1990s, but we contemplated how big events don't have continuity lapses post emergence through said 'horizon'. In other words, they are immutable; whatever went on around them along the river of time since they emerged, they were stones while the chaos flowed around them. Go back across your "Sandy" and "Super Storm, 1993" ... just pick one. The big ticket shows had a lot of leading promotional marketing from a long way off. Granted, in mid '90s the age of modeling was really still rather young. 20 years earlier in the 1970s, there was the LFM ... primitive in skill compared to these modern marvels that entitle to the extent of rolling model heads like the French Inquisition if they dare f-up a day 5 snow storm... Anyone born in 2000 and now coming into their 'age of Meteorological enlightenment' could really benefit by spending a winter season in a throwback forecast camp where they get abused both emotionally and physically as penance whenever they bust a forecast that was hand drawn isohypses from raw radio soundes just to determine where S/Ws are. You know? Humility is the pathway to a beautiful soul - which is a fantastic digression into why societal decay is driving humanity to a population correction ...
  6. Oh, it will ... whence it is determined your Saturday has been tidily and squarely ruined
  7. Yeah… Radar is breaking up. Taking on a more showery distribution. Watch, the ending of this whole thing ends up being weaker than modeled. 18z NAM was bone dry over Logan by Sunday morning. Looks pretty mild in the interior - if so not shocked if it ended up 75 metro west.
  8. Juding by BOX rad it's onto something ...even if its off by timing ? This model hasn't really been handling this some some playing catch-up seems underway.
  9. We've been getting 'tucked' in synoptically all f'ing summer long unrelenting and it really hasn't stopped. If it's not a trough it's a high pressure orienting due east sticking us up the fanny with Atlantic putrid flow - like this pos that barely has mid level mechanics but manages to over perform by several standard deviations.. These are hard extremes to explain - but an explanation is never sought when it is only ( so far..) minor enough inconveniences.
  10. This one goes out to all those that endear to warm autumn weather... Cheers!
  11. I'm hoping this shit gets outta here by Sunday morning ( like actually ... not just cuz the models say it will ). I wanna break in my new Destroyer
  12. Yup ... I'm just not sure how much normalization that scenario can take before that becomes cold upslope water... It'll be close. Not the thread for it but I ended Kevin's warmth parade in his October thread saying we got 6 ... maybe the first 7 days of October/ beyond which there is pattern modality. The problem is, all the models at this range see the horizon like the moon coming up - huge.
  13. pretty good gradient. You and I are not terribly far from one another and we're just now approaching an inch
  14. The "furnace" likely doesn't last beyond D7... We'll see but there's pretty heavy ensemble support, cross guidance, for a strong -EPO relay into a +PNA...and a deepening L/W axis over Ohio already underway by October 6. May hold onto southerly deep layer flow along east of Appalachia into the 7th, but we set a +PNAP table pretty coherently in every guidance source by then. It's also believable for other reasons but the average reader's attention span in here stops right he -
  15. It was 2 days ago, but yeah... It was inconsistent before that. It really honed more than the others on the 18z run 2 days ago.
  16. You guys may find this shocking but ...the models are bring rain a week from Saturday
  17. right, yeah. There's a mechanism for rain - it's a matter of the synergy. I mean these seemingly innocuous set up are definitely over-producing more and more. We actually have to be hit by the climate train to admit we're standing on the tracks here? Or, going over the cliff in a bus and while someone yells above the calamity, don't worry ...it's just gravity.
  18. Either way ... very high PWAT feed into a paltry mechanical layout is causing all this strife. wow. Standard intervals, granted... but there's only 10 to 15 kts of wind going around the 500 mb trough, which only has one isohypses ... way up at 582 dm no less. We've been close to 100 F under hgts that high. So CC'able or not, this is whack anomaly to have these coincident metrics create this much problem, either way.
  19. Check this ... but I'm pretty sure no model had moderate rain all the way to Lakes Region of NH, either.
  20. I was just thinking about that disgusting smell that happens when you mix urban germ phage with decaying trash into turbid flood waters. Nasty nasty nasty. Reminds me - in microcosm of course... - the French Quarter down in New Orleans/"Katrina", when the dikes failed and filled the neighborhoods in a nutritional broth of angry confused venomous snakes, dead animal carcasses, house hold chemicals and backed-out sewage ... clear to the roof-eaves in some cases.
  21. I don't know why in the hell are these 'honorable mention' Darwinian runner-ups. They're venturing under ground into terminals that are in a flood situation
  22. It did this on the last rain event tied into that Ophilia TC, too. It held out to near terms telling everyone that it would suppress but came N in the end. Yet... (for some reason) people remember it as schooling the Euro on that whole affair. This is known as the "Mandela effect" - it's a real phenomenon in psycho-babble, and it's when people's minds fabricate memories that are not what actually took place? It seems we do a lot of that in here when it comes to modeling performance. LOL
  23. Short and sweet if you believe the guidance… It’s like it just comes in floats houses away and it’s completely sunny by 18 Z on Saturday with calm breezes.
