OceanStWx Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Euro actually did pretty decent..though verbatim it didn't show those huge 5"+ jacpots, but the global models rarely do. You try and extrapolate where the best axis of rain will setup based on the historical precedent for such a synoptic setup. Obviously trying to nail it down within 10-20 miles is going to be pretty tough because you have to be accurate with the convergence zone in the low levels...which is probably tougher in the summer than in winter. Actually just went back to WeatherBell to check the 13.00z 13km run. Like you say, didn't have 5+ inches, but had a stripe of 3" from MTP through PVD and BOS then just east of PWM. That's pretty decent for a global model right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 The thunder during the last 30 mins has been about a 5.0 on the Richter scale. Heavy, heavy positive strikes last night. There were a few blinding flashes in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember last year.. How we'd be cold and snow and then cutters and 1-2 day torches ruined things. He thinks same idea just not as bitter cold as last winter.

He thinks same idea just not as bitter cold as last winter. The vibe of last winter was cold however. Variability fits El Niño even if we're ENSO neutral in actuality. I think like the summer, torches this upcoming winter will be of the muted variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
