tamarack Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 2 hours ago, tunafish said: I just started reporting my data this summer. Am I supposed to report on days with no measurable precip? I did it on the handful of days when there was measurable precip in the county, but none IMBY. Curious about the days when the radar was clear all day. Cocorahs wants reports each day, wet or dry. They can't always tell when a non-report is a no-precip report, or merely observer oversight. That "always" is italicized because the site has some fact checkers. One morning when I awoke to dry grass and never checked the gauge, I got an email questioning my 0.00" while nearby sites reported a tenth or two. Afternoon check (with no precip between) found 0.13" - good catch by the auditors. August 1955 at BDL had 21.30". 2nd place 2011 way back at 11.67". Edit: Ryan's write-up has 21.87". (My numbers came from Utah Climate Center.) Random but do you think it's unreasonable to think that some portions of the Hawaiian Islands could see potential winds gusts of 75-90 mph with Lane? (Assuming something like the GFS pans out). Morning check of Wunderground (even though their hurricane/TS site has become wonky to the point of total frustration since TWC stepped in) showed a northward bend in the day 4-5 track. If that verifies, the Islands might be in play, especially Kauai. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the typical structure when a cane comes up this way, you'd expect most of the heavy rain to the west. I think Bob barely dropped any rain out towards the Cape. EDIT: I see Ryan addressed this in his blog. Stalled front over CT with significant convergence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think both storms had gone mainly ET well before reaching 40 North. I can't remember any serious wind from either at my (then) NNJ home, where we got 5" or so from Connie and escaped with about 2" from Diane. Bob retained TC character a lot farther north. We lived a few miles south of Augusta then, and that's the only TC of my experience in which the backside winds were near/at the same speed as front side, though 90%+ of precip came before the wind shift. It was odd seeing blowdowns with trees pointed in opposite directions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afternoon check (with no precip between) found 0.13" - good catch by the auditors. Tamarack is right, ideally you want to report a precipitation number every day, 0.00” or otherwise. With that said, I often don’t report immediately on obvious zero precipitation days if I’m busy (it’s a 365 day a year job, so I don’t mind skipping some zero days and filling them back in later on the monthly zeroes chart). I’ve never been contacted by the auditors, so presumably they know what’s going on. I assume that’s what the monthly zeroes chart is for anyway, and I typically update that the next time I’m reporting precipitation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Hurricanes are extremely rare for HI. No records of a cane within 65 miles of Maui or Honolulu, ever. So this would be a big deal for them if it comes closer than projected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
