GLOBAL WARMING SCIENTISTS TRAPPED IN ANTARCTIC ICE

I got an error when I tried to open one that had my name in it so maybe that was the one?

Remnants of Florence started moving into my area in south central PA around 10 AM this morning. Rain today, tonight and through tomorrow afternoon is expected generally totaling about 1.5", more to the mountains just to the east and north.

NOAA is about to make some big changes to its global weather model. The use of an FV3 core should allow for a more computationally efficient model.

Some of you (i.e. Board Administrator) will remember that I mentioned this model (see below) while tracking Hurricane Florence last year.

"At the present time pending new data input from reconnaissance missions and other data gathering sources, I think a good compromise weighing model reliability and other factors would have the storm just off the coast or slightly inland in southern NC around Wilmington, NC on Friday morning and then meandering slowly just off the coast and drifting slowly south for at least 12-24 hours before continuing west through northern SC then turning north through western NC, eastern TN, eastern KY then moving into Indiana/Ohio.
I'm still somewhat apprehensive of a southern SC landfall and more westerly track afterwards but it's hard to discredit two major dynamical models, although not coupled with ocean models, that are displaying congruent but not identical output, especially when the updated physics of the GFS V3 model drives the hurricane farther south like the Euro model also. I do therefore consider that southerly movement and drifting into my prognosis."
