  1. +1 to Will for that post about 08 yesterday
  2. you'd think I'd have caught that by the fact he called it "weather station"... been that kind of day
  3. As long as your signal is not attenuated to extinction, the velocities are unaffected because those are derived from the phase not the power.
  4. s band radome attenuation shouldn't be more than about 1dB and it did seem excessive... But yeah I don't have a better explanation and I don't believe the atmosphere just sh*t out that quickly
  5. Another thing that made it very obvious was that the various color contours in the imagery all collapsed inward simultaneously the same (similar) distances, indicative of a fixed power loss offset in the entire sector.
  6. nice catch. As someone working with X band that kind of thing happens all the time and it certainly had a familiar look to it. But one thing I noticed was that the returned power from the cell out on the ocean didn't appear to be changing very much... Could the wind be squeegee-ing away water on the east side, creating some kind of differential radome attenuation? That'd be interesting.
  7. That's kind of like when the 12th pick of the NBA draft is taken and the announcers describe him as similar to Kobe with a little Jordan
  8. FWIW I'm squarely under that dark band just west of the Quabbin and it's all rain at present, and not particularly heavy.
  9. No doubt... We were looking decent in the lead up this far east, but just totally choking on ORH's fumes right now.
  10. We're huffing exhaust from that band at present... Hardly even raining
  11. Yeah I was wondering if he was considering those honorary CNE
  12. seemed like more northern stream involvement from early on in the run...
  13. I might be way off base here, but doesn't the 18z gfs usually not start rolling in til 430ish. Maybe my sources are just slow?
  14. FWIW, the GFS has not been trending east and is definitely worthy of a watch for western SNE and adjacent CNE, ENY , etc. The euro has been way west up to the last run. And toss the mesos for this event... JMO
  15. Hoping to break the ice here this weekend but just so much uncertainty with respect to the storm and operations, pretty hard to make a plan. I'm thinking it'll be skins and the Taconics at this juncture. Guess we'll see.
  16. Yeah. For complex, synoptic scale upper-air interactions at range I think the hi-res is often a net negative... Not inherently of course, mainly because sampling and parameterization errors can propagate more easily. Don't get me wrong, I love the nammy as much as anyone, but this would not be the type of event I'd give it too much weight, at least not yet.
  17. I think we might be able to eek out a bottom end advy event based on those synoptic charts here
  18. 3.6GHz processor? Or 3.6TB hard drive?
