IsentropicLift Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 blame convection Agreed, now that the wave lengths are becoming longer and we're going to have some baroclinicity to work with, model verification should improve. It's much easier to paint QPF when you have actual low pressure systems to focus on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundog Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 This would have been a great overperformer for the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 This would have been a great overperformer for the winter. It was a great overperformer for what it was. I don't know about anyone else but I desperatly needed the rain. I think this is only the second measurable rain in my backyard this month.

SACRUS Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Back to NJ from across the pond and the feel and smell of fall is in the air. 55 here and dropping - .44 in the bucket but still dry overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIK62 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Sept. to finish with less than 1" in CPK? Currently .74" with almost nothing showing for remainder of month! I thought the analogs had a wet Sept. along EC. Only as far as Cape Hatteras for above normal precip. so far. Fewer than 10 Septs. since 1869 are under 1".

IsentropicLift Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 What a bore fest. The southern stream is becoming more active but the pattern is way to progressive. Bit of a mixed signal with the latest NAO ensemble guidance but they seem to be leaning towards a slightly positive NAO to begin October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 In other news, frost alert for next Wednesday morning north and west. The 12z GFS has those areas dipping down into the 30's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormlover74 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 When did I say that? Curios as to why you think it's such a dud? We've already had a landfalling CAT 2 Hurricane in NC, a close fish with Bertha, and MX landfalling TS with Dolly and September is statistically the most active month. Sure, it may not be a sexy season in terms of intense storms and high end US threats but we've had plenty of seasons more boring than this one.

Sure, it may not be a sexy season in terms of intense storms and high end US threats but we've had plenty of seasons more boring than this one. Everything I said was true. We've had five named storms so far, a landfalling Cat 2 and now a major. We've had plenty of less interesting seasons before, and we still have a good 8-10 weeks to go. Let's get that NAO to drop back down during October and take our chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIK62 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Latest GFS has NYC with just .01" over next 16 days!!!. Total for month would then be just 0.75"!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 We could possibly get a coastal late this coming weekend or early next week. The 12z GFS is well east but the 12z GGEM scrapes the coast and the 12z GEFS mean is coming in similar to the GGEM. The Euro had rain but it was more frontal. Just something to watch in this otherwise borefest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian5671 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 This fall so far is a repeat of last year's desert dry pattern, just a bit cooler. With limited to no tropical activity affecting the gulf and east coasts, one would almost expect it to be quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rtd208 Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 It is only a matter of time until the floodgates of active weather open, just getting to that point is a bit tough if you enjoy stormy weather etc. But I would rather have the quiet weather now and then let things start to get active as we head into the fall and winter months.
