You are a severe disappointment compared to earlier expectations. Maybe read the discussion. The risk for heavy rain is in an urban area. Storm motions are slow. Doesn't have anything to do with lack of rainfall over last day or longer. IMPACTS...Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Storm drains and ditches may become clogged with debris.

Recall a few years ago they removed a few types of products (Blizzard Watch was one) b/c it was getting to be too many product types. "Flood watch" may be the all-encompassing standard now? Given the antecedent very dry conditions and low water levels, again, I find a flood watch here a little much. I believe a flood watch is it. If flash flooding materializes(or imminent), then a 'flash flood warning' is put into effect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowenOutThere Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Thanks guys! Makes sense why they issued a flood watch then. Though, I do wonder if there was merit for a flash flood watch as I still think its a distinct type of flooding. 1 hour ago, vortex95 said: Actually, is "flash flood watch" a discrete product anymore?

dailylurker Posted June 27 Author Share Posted June 27 Mission accomplished. I caught my jumbos today. Beautiful day for crabbing. The rain held off until we were done crabbing and sitting outside on the screen porch eating. I probably have gotten close to an inch so far. Radar looks interesting. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are a severe disappointment compared to earlier expectations. Man I wish I could meet the person behind these posts. I am genuinely curious why you are the way you are. I would love to meet the guy who types 20 periods and then does the next sentence correctly. I want to know who is on a weather form while being vehemently against climate change. I would love to see the person who seemingly thinks they know more than studied meteorologists. I want to meet the person who had "expectations" for a teenager on the AMWX forms, and then feels "severe disappointment" over what I've become. Why am I disappointing to you? Is it because I believe in degreed meteorologists over the whims of a stranger? Is it because I believe in the science of climate change? Is it because I don't baselessly use anecdotes for forecasting and I push back on those who do? Despite your often demeaning posts towards me I can't seem to find any emotion in me for you but curiosity, and maybe a bit of pity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conversely, one wants to hear your tired ass shit. Thank you, I've said this before but its posters like you that have made me get to where I am now. I still remember when you told me to post less and listen more; and you were right, my earlier posts back in 2021-2024 were... bad. I still make mistakes, my analysis isn't great or even close to you or meteorologists ones, but I like to think I can now point out concepts that might impact events decently well. I'm taking climatology in the fall (maybe I'll learn some teleconnections for winter) and then synoptic meteorology in the spring so by next year at this time I should hopefully be far better. Then again, the posts from our mets here oftentimes teach the nuances that aren't covered in class. I hope they never see my sometimes skeptical posts as doubting their or the NWS knowledge and earned authority, but just trying to add a wrinkle into the conversation to help me learn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 14 minutes ago, dailylurker said: I wish I could lol. Seems like theres a boundary across our region. Hopefully it lights up this evening. Its gonna be just south of me most likely. There is a front that is slowly sinking southward. The stuff that fired up earlier today(and went severe) was to my NE and also SE may have been enhanced by (DE) bay breezes/ ocean breezes. That's the problem with this setup and why many won't see anything significant- there is no large scale forcing mechanism and wind shear is pretty meager. The storms are more pulsed and difficult to sustain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant more so in the abstract as Vortex mentioned they no longer issue flash flood watches at all. I understand the rationale of "we have too many different products", but situations like this make me wonder if the flash flood watch could've stayed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offense to average joes but the general public does not know or care about the difference between a flood and a flash flood. Might as well just say flood and call it a day. Only us weather weenies will understand the difference. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronTy Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 This needs to be brought back under control. Who's running the show at these agencies? A special marine morning with "a strong shower" and a FFW when I can't find anything more than some sprinkles within 100mi on radar. We've reached Baghdad Bob levels of forecasting. I guess if you're gonna be wrong all the time you might as well be spectacularly wrong. Get it to together, you're supposed to be pros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather Will Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Ok, I will jump into this crap for one post as a recently retired Fed. The federal workforce will take decades if ever to recover from the last two years. While dedicated, hard working employees remain to fulfill their agency's respective missions as best they can, the number of us that retired or left has wiped out institutional knowledge, expertise, chains of command, infrastructure, and succession plans. Budget cuts also inhibit technology upgrades that could make up for the lack of human resources. It is a mess!!!! People are doing the best they can. If you don't like things, write your respective Congressional delegations and vote this fall. This post can be moved to banter or deleted when the others are as well but don't disparage the few remaining feds trying to keep things going.... 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
