ineedsnow Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 SATURDAY NIGHT...THIS IS THE TIME WHEN THE FORECAST GETS MORECOMPLICATED. MOST GUIDANCE INDICATES PRECIPITABLE WATERSINCREASING TO THE 2.0-2.5 INCH RANGE...WITH A STRONG SOUTHERLYLOW-LEVEL JET AT 850 MB. MID-LEVEL STEERING FLOW IS A MODEST20-40 KT...SO AM NOT OVERLY CONCERNED ABOUT FLOODING QUITE YET. THEPROBLEM IS THE TIMING...AND WHETHER A TROPICAL TIE-IN TO THEREMNANTS OF EMILY CAN BE ESTABLISHED. CURRENTLY THINKING SHOWERSBECOME INCREASINGLY LIKELY AFTER MIDNIGHT SATURDAY NIGHT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New England Storm Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 We could use some nice heavy. The grass is getting crispy imby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaineJayhawk Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 So I'm guessing getting tickets to either tonight or tomorrow's Mets game is out of the question? (serious question) Getting the tickets shouldn't be a problem. Seeing a baseball game might, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I don't know... Judging by rad trends this is light to occasionally moderate strata rains, and probably good for about 6-8 hours. Not seeing a lot of back building and in fact, the hi res sat shows clearing cutting east through central PA/NY... Yet looking at the 18z NAM would have us in a bowl of pea soup through Monday. One thing is for certain, with regional LIs in the -1 to -2 range through Monday, if the skies get optimistic at all with all that boundary layer TD and moisture around it will likely result in instant CBs with localize excessive short duration 2 pixel water boarding events.

ski MRG Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Some decent soaking rain presently. Looks good to the West as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 This rain shield is taking hours and hours to decay, but decay it is... And, as expected, the NAM has been way over developing this. 00z run has ALB getting 1.87" between 00z and 2am, and they are at .51 and ended there. No returns west.... The shredded appeal is migrating through now and probably won't be more than .25" to .6" variably, more S. I think tomorrow is more interesting for heavy rain folks. I believe the high degree of conditional instability will spark numerous cumulonibi throughout the day as still high sun angle works on a lower level murk. Regional LI is down to -3 and -4 now!

Typhoon Tip Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Golf cancel tomorrow? Slow greens. But I don't think it out of the question that just as this rain has been overdone in the runs, the skies may be more optimistic than modeled until destablization takes over.
