Waste of a summer weekend. 

 

"Soaking rainfall?"   Looks like the 7-10 split ern and cntrl sections of the region.

Low of 46 here at WXW2. Low of 37 at SLK. We cleared out last night and the temp fell like a rock.

If it was just a bit farther N!  That quite impressive for 1013 mb sfc low.

I certainly doubt they are making up blanket statement about the entirety.

Thanks, pretty cool. I never knew about the sheep. One thing they didn't mention, if you notice a wall with lots of smaller rocks it was most likely used for cultivation. Farmers wouldn't bother for grazing.

So far out but the 12z EURO might have been interesting if it went out a bit more

.30" in 18 hours - just a brutal day and not much to show for it

Strong signal for a vigorous wave over the MDR in a few days, but we’ll need to see if shear can relent enough to allow for gradual development.

Man what a day…kinda warm out there in the sun.

I know "soaking" is subjective, but generally I think "1-2" widespread" is a good min criteria.  Although definitions are fluid here b/c of  the use of "STEIN!"

I think 8/20 starts the "peak" of the ATLC season, and goes throug 9/10.

ACE is only 16% S-T-D.

Nothing wrong with extrapolating.

No MCS "robbing" things this thing given the SW flow for Sunday @CoastalWx take note.  But he will still find something wrong!

Svr risk looks interesting Sun b/c strong SW flow this time of year is not as detrimental from the marine infection due to warmer SSTs.  Very strong 250 jet over the region (100 kt +).  The flared appearance of the storms on the HRRR S of LI is promising.

Yes, Saturday night will probably have an area of heavy rain as there actually looks to be forcing on the warm front and decent dynamics. But it may not all be widespread either.

The warm front "connection" again!  But this time it should bodily move N and not hang out along the S Coast.
