Ended up with a half inch of rain in Arnold
Not bad, but still a long way to go to mitigate any drought conditions

All right I really need some help from some people in here. I just can't seem to get a straight answer from the NWS. I mentioned in here we're getting a roof on today, well it didn't happen. Now they're scheduled for tomorrow which two days ago the rain was supposed to start after 12:00 p.m. When they didn't show today I got on the NWS site to see if the forecast was the same. Now the rain wasn't supposed to start till 5:00 p.m. tomorrow.👍👍🤞🤞 This was maybe 6 hours ago. Now I get on there and it's supposed to start raining by 11:00 a.m. tomorrow.👎👎🤬🤬 How does anyone that works outside or has a business that needs accurate info deal with this? I was told that he will know by 5:00 in the morning if they are coming tomorrow. He's basically going to get up and look out the window and check the forecast. I just thought we had gone way past that with our technology.🤔🤔 Maybe the drought conditions will push it off farther in the day.🤔🤔 Don't mean to sound whiny but I really want to get this done. The shingles have been sitting up on the roof since March 1st. As someone who has worked outside, weather forecasts are the least trusted thing in the world. Always plan to work and adjust in the morning |

The Davis on the roof in North St. Pete is slowly getting over his disappointment with the measly .40 inches. What happened?

Chris please explain the Mesonet. The Oklahoma mesonet is system of weather stations. Really helps to provide ground truth conditions in the state during severe weather. Makes it easy to see surface features such as temp and wind direction. |

I have to admit, when I saw the forecast(s) earlier this week, for multiple rounds of beneficial rains for my area from Thursday to today, to produce 1 to 2 inches of rain, I said to myself, "I'll believe it when I see it." That's not to take away from anyone's forecasting abilities, it's just tough to beat a drought. I remember the drought buster in 2012 was the remnants of a hurricane. It takes a strong storm to overcome the pattern. And boy do we need it.
Prayers continue REB. 🙏

GFS kind of backed off on the cold pattern but the EC still brings down some very cold air by mid-month and beyond. |

Yeah, probably not.🤣🤣 Sure looks like the 18z run has some cold air out in the not too distant future. |

Know how many guys watch the weather and get drunk because it's supposed to rain and then they don't get called off because it's sunny? |

GFS right back on the cold train with the 00z run and very close to a full blown winter storm in about a week. It's likely that anything that tries to develop in the S stream will get squashed by the N stream crashing in, but if that cut off can eject favorably there could be some potential like the GFS shows. The EC has SNSH activity next Sunday in the cyclonic flow which looks more realistic.

I'm going to start posting the time lagged ensemble cloud cover percentage at 4/08 18Z at Cape Girardeau. The Members column is the number of members that went into the time lagged ensemble. The Avg column is the simple average of GEFS, GEPS, and EPS. GEPS and EPS won't be available until much later. The QWMA column is the 5 day exponential weighted moving average of the Avg column with quadratic weighting. It is the time lagged ensemble value. As of 3/9 the time lagged ensemble shows 52% coverage. That's about the climatological average. Cycle Members GEFS GEPS EPS Avg QWMA

Euro has an unstable warm sector and lots of shear Thursday. It's initiating scattered storms early in the afternoon in MO. GFS on the other hand is further east and faster with the front and isn't generating much in the way of convection. We'll have to see how this plays out, but if the Euro is closer to reality then some severe weather may be in the forecast later this week.

Comes together just a hair east of where we need it and turns into an EC bomb |
