0.17" at the house 0.78" now for November

Same! Greatest game I’ve ever been to. I might still be recovering

Absolutely worth it!! I have mine signed by Louis and Kocin when I went to the Northeast Storms Conference back in 2015 and they were there celebrating a big Anniversary of the event. I’ll always keep mine. That thing is weather history and a comprehensive breakdown of all the best storms of the past era. 100% recommend getting and reading

Touching base on this. NC sites have been returned for view and MD sites are in the works to be back for viewing as well. The company that was in charge of data dissemination actually went out of business, so they are finding a new suitor for the MD sites. That’s what I have now, and no further information. I would anticipate a remedy by FAA and another partner in the future. Until then, the lines are operable, just not being disseminated.

This ruined my whole evening....Thanks

We actually had some very light rain! Lowlands continued to somehow score even a little bit in this pattern.

I’ve had this in my phone since 2016

Come on man...You can't make it that easy for him....

Just some fun stats to pass along; 882mb Wilma is strongest in the Atlantic basin based on pressure. Hurricane Dennis is strongest wind at 190mph in the basin. 185 is tied with multiple others. Needless to say, we are basically on the edge of uncharted waters in the grand scheme, and only up against the 1935 Labor Day Hurricane for strength of landfall. Quite a spectacle today

Lowlands jack or bust

I'm a gambling man and I understand I might be going out on a limb here, but I'll take the under. Just a hunch

Thanks for tagging me @WxWatcher007!! I’ll gladly help provide some insight. First, congratulations to your son opting to go for meteorology! It is a rigorous subject to study and master, but when you truly love something, you will give it your all to succeed and I have no doubt he will do that! No matter the case, if he ever has questions, creating an account here and chiming in on the Banter page will certainly help alert us and we can answer any questions! As for school choice, that is a big life decision and as you mentioned has multi-faceted criteria for picking what is best. Since you are in Virginia, HIGHLY recommend staying in-state with the current state of school cost. Unless there is a well planned and funded secondary source (509’s, inheritance, etc.) which is none of my business and what you can manage… I do recommend staying in your state of residence for lower cost burden. VA has multiple schools for Meteorology and the Virginia Tech program already has a history of putting out grads into the Weather Service and private enterprise. I actually now a few myself, and they are excellent meteorologists. It’s a great program, but does lack a Grad program, as previously mentioned. Having said that, the curriculum is still very respected and the masters programs, if you son is interested, can be accessed at other schools, including the ability to do it virtually!! Millersville University of Pennsylvania (My Alma Matter) has two online Masters programs geared towards Emergency Management or GIS. Mississippi State has an excellent program, as well as Western Kentucky University, University of Oklahoma, and others. The accessibility to have a Masters education is now easier than before, and each school has its niches to help wherever a grad student wants to move towards. Some Universities also have ties together due to professor influences (Millersville had connections to North Dakota University, Wisconsin-Madison, and Wyoming), and others do as well. There’s so many options at the end of the Undergraduate tunnel. My recommendation is staying in-state to save cost (VERY HELPFUL for the future for debt) and go from there. Virginia Tech is a great program and probably a top choice for VA, but UVA I believe also has a program and is also well respected! I hope this helps and good luck to your son and family choice on the next step!!

Going as expected from last nights suite. Just a gloomy day in these parts

Increasing consensus that this will be mainly a light to moderate rain chance on the western shore with a heavier footprint on the eastern shore, but still likely to miss out on the worst. The trend the past few nights when doing the QPF was to bring down totals across the Central Mid Atlantic as the evolution would be a detriment to a widespread rainfall as the 5H pattern leads to a disconnect over our area. There will be some rain and some breezy winds, but the heavier precip and stronger wind field forecast from a few days ago has vanished with consensus now in the short term suite. I would imagine it'll still be kind of raw overall, but it won't be a total wash out at this juncture. The only way it could is if the occlusion of the secondary low to the northeast leads to a pinwheel back overhead and gets part of the forum before diminishing and fading out to see on the end of the SLP lifecycle. Tough break, but it'll at least moisten things up a little bit without getting fully skunked.

Yup. We were discussing this overnight as well about the handling of 5H. My hunch is we’ll be sneaking closer to the ECMWF solutions where it’ll rain but could very well support a minima from northeast NC up to the Lower Shore before picking back up closer to 40N. Sounds familiar, right?
