Setting Up to South

I have a bad feeling about this.  The frontal band has developed, but the heaviest precipitation is to the south of Salt Lake City.


In addition, temperatures remain just warm enough that rain or slushy wet snow is falling on the valley floors.  While that will eventually turn over to snow tonight, this pattern doesn't bode well for accumulations at my place in the Avenues.  GRRR.

  2. Yea I live in Lehi by Thanksgiving Point and we saw a trace of accumulation. It rained pretty good, but the cold air didn't make it to us fast enough.

  3. Looks like the GFS was wrong again...still searching for the "situations" in which it outperforms the ECWMF.

  4. Funds are needed so we can get it at full resolution in a timely fashion!

  5. I think plenty of funds exist. They are just spent elsewhere. It is a matter of priorities. And, it is more than just resolution. It is data assimilation and model schemes that lag behind as well. If something is not done soon, you have to ask the question of whether we can save a lot of money by just scrapping the NAM and GFS and purchasing the ECMWF output.
