AUGUST 2017 CO-OPS
Month: August 2017
Weekend rain
Final tallies updated Sept 5 for past weekend event…. Nam, Canadian , and Euro did fair. 
Modeled rainfall off the 12z ECMWF, 18z GFS, 12z CMC , 18z NAM for the upcoming weekend. Models look to bring the main low into the Ohio Valley, weaken it, transfer energy east. Overall the Alleghenies look to escape with lighter amounts of rain. A east flow will be the theme with chilly air the next 2 days. That east flow from a HP to the north will also initially limit precip as it pushes in from southwest. Precip will eventually win out.
On Monday I will fill in a map of rainfall obs, radar estimates and gauge how the models fair for the remnants of Harvey pressing NE.
