Models for the weekend
Going to for today resist posting rainfall amounts. Flooding potential does exist for this weekend. While there is no lock on where the boundary and rain goes, there is a strong leaning of the heavy rains pushing across the Alleghenies. Timing, track of this rain threat does need watched. For now, I will post the modeled temps off the models for the weekend, as I do that, Saturday will be determined by how fast the rain moves in. If it arrives early, temps holding 55-62, later temps 62-68, Sunday looks wet. Temps holding 52-60 as it looks now. Temps off the 12z ECMWF and 18z GFS
Having said that, I will post the operational runs, with the ensemble mean precip. With the GFS being the most significant at this point. Stay monitored to this, as it has “potential” to cause significant flooding, especially due to the already wet ground. Here we go, the 18z GFS op
The ensemble mean precip(using this as the op run seems a bit far fetched)..
The 12z ECMWF op run, still significant, but very manageable.
The 12z ECMWF ensemble mean precip….. So all in all, we need to watch to see how this pans out. Is it a 1′-2″ rain or a 3-5″ rain. 
This year, September off to the hot start, last year the exact opposite
