Sure isn't wasting it's time incorporating itself into the upper air pattern.

QUOTE(risingriver @ Oct 8 2017, 02:28 PM)  Hoping Nate's remnants plus the front can deliver some rain east of the Blue Ridge in Virginia. We desperately need it. Rocks in my river were wearing sunscreen yesterday when I was out fishing.   If I use that metaphor, do I have to pay royalties?

21 tornado reports as off 8:44PM.
 Usually can at least double the amount of reports after everything is surveyed.

Well Nate provided me with a valuable lesson on WV topography. Unlike Missouri, SW flow aloft with southerly surface flows means downslope imby. Despite Nate tracking almost directly overhead and all available model guidance painting 2"+ ... I have only received ~0.65" of precip and for all practical purposes the rain has ended.
We needed the rain here ... This post has been edited by StL weatherjunkie: Oct 9 2017, 07:19 AM -------------------- All model guidance is just that, guidance.

QUOTE(MD Blue Ridge @ Oct 9 2017, 09:34 AM) Windward and leeward are terms that will now be giant terms in your weather patterns. Yup, I prefer upslope/downslope, but the point is the same. I got burned pretty bad forecasting this event. My boss, who's a hydrologist, was relying on a big event to get the local streams flowing for an ongoing research project. Oh well, the best/fastest way to learn is by screwing up big time. -------------------- All model guidance is just that, guidance.
