  1. GSO has now surpassed 2003 to become the second wettest year on record. 1.76" is necessary to surpass 2018. Feels like a much more tame year than 2018, but consistent rainfall had pulled us close. The GEFS has ~1.2" through the end of the year
  2. Also seems like the models spitting out high ice totals, like the RGEM, do wonky things with convection.
  3. The HRRR is picking up on this is well... Could be interesting, with some pretty wild dynamics. Short lived window though, just before going into a dry slot
  4. FWIW, the hires nam was 3-5 degrees too warm this morning
  5. Dewpoints on the HRRR are about 6 degrees (mid 20s) colder on the HRRR than the hires nam (low 30s) after sunset Tuesday
  6. The biggest detractors from significant icing are temps near or above freezing prior to arrival of precip and heavy precip reducing efficient accreation. Factors in favor are, of course our healthy CAD and also fairly respectably low dewpoints. I would say more than .1-.2" is pretty unlikely outside some isolated spots closer to the mountains.
  7. BWI: 11.2" DCA: 8" IAD: 12 .8" RIC: 5.4" Tiebreaker SBY: 5"
  8. So far: 101.7 for regular 72.7 greek Got these from http://tropical.atmos.colostate.edu/Realtime/
  9. Is it possible that the reason Eta was weaker than satellite suggested because of how far south it is? I don't know much about the physics of hurricanes, but I ask because I was wondering if the coriolis effect only played a role in development or also in maintaining intensity
  10. Looks like maybe a bit of shear though, on the south side of the circulation? May prevent the eye from organizing very fast. Motion definitely seems more south than west right now
  11. Last minute change to 897 mb, 160 kts
  12. The plane is making good time. Probably half an hour to go. I might be convinced to join team #sub900
  13. I'm guessing it's around 140-150kts atm.
  14. Honestly looks kinda like an ERC has not only begun, but is well on it's way to completion. Explains why the eye is getting larger but not clearing out.
  15. looking like current trajectory would put the center of the eye of NO
  16. A plane should be in the storm in about an hour. Any idea why they aren't running nearly as many missions as some other hurricanes this year? Budget running low?
  17. The CAD may limit the wind threat for the NC Piedmont:
  18. Wowzers. Likely overdone. But the GFS doesn't overdo gusts to the same degree the Euro does
