Totally astounded by the crush job here. Can’t even look outside to see what’s going on. It’s a movie-like. Probably a 50 year or 100 year storm for RI. Usually those 35-40 dbz bands don’t stick around for this long. Thankfully power is still on, though half the town is out. Officially changing my handle to 39/70 Benchmark after this one…

It's insanity here. Greatful I still have power at the moment. 3K seems to have been with projecting heavy band locations - agreed.

I don't have a level of expertise to explain it. Not sure it can initialize wrong for 8 hours straight. Maybe just a level of physics that's outside of the models understanding is occurring causing everything to be deflected southeast. It's something I would expect more from a global that a high resolution meso model.

Not sure what the hell is wrong with the HRRR, but it's been wrong since 10PM last night with the placement of the heaviest bands. Total failure in terms of short term prediction of wtf is going on outside. In this case 40-50 miles is making a huge difference.

Don’t think I’ve seen radar like this over my house/area in any recent storm.

It’s crazy out here right now.

3K mostly agrees...

Damn straight. I have like 10 tabs open. BOX, OKZ, Regional Mosaic, Sub-Regional Mosaic, and the SPC Hourly Mesoscale Analysis map of 850 - 700 frontogenesis. But still looking at models too, with 15 hours to go on this storm.
