No one said a long term forecasts were useful. Why harp on that? Did you just want to name drop chaos theory into the thread?
That's it isn't it? You just can't stop trying to tell us how smart you are. We get it, you have three Rutgers degrees. Its even in your name so we don't forget. Lol it's getting a bit embarrassing.

bac was implying they were by defending them and saying let people decide how to use them, which is just dumb, because they're useless, so I thought you were going there too, but perhaps I misread your intent - if so, my apologies. On the latter point, was just trying to explain why they're useless, but yes, I'm proud of my 3 RU degrees and thankful I went to RU for them - I hope everyone here who has an RU degree is proud of it and enjoyed their time at RU, although that's not always the case.
I always do, but predicting trends (above/below/normal for temps or precip) is way, way different from predicting temps and precip for specific days. There is some skill in the former especially in the 2-3 week out timeframe, which is all I ever post about (but they're not always right), but next to zero skill in predicting the exact weather for each day beyond about 8 days. It's pretty likely days 8-14 will be below normal and possibly well below normal - and that always makes it a bit more likely to see snow, but predicting that beyond a week is not very accurate.
I actually have 4 RU degrees, so obviously I'm smarter than you. Let's see, perhaps my new username should be:
T2Kplus2098980002 (I think? LOL!).
Just went for a run, I live in Piscataway 3 miles from the RAC, roads/crosswalks/sidewalks already a mess, some huge puddles never receded from the weekend, wait til the heavy rains start, ain't nobody going to school/work in Pway, NB, Green Brook, Dunellen, Manville tomorrow
Only3??? I thought for sure at least 5. No Doctorate?
Interesting how your Linked In profile only lists 2 degrees from RU (or anywhere) - your BS in chem eng'g in 99 and your MBA in 2002. Have you now added lying to your trolling bag of tricks? Maybe just settle down and play nice for awhile.

Why would I list degrees not relevant to my career? Think, then post.
Man, dude's way older than I thought.
He should retire soon and then you guys can have these arguments over summer lunch soup at the deli 😜
Already a dozen tornado reports (some with damage) from FL to VA, with significant damage from one in Walton Co. FL in the Panhandle; video in the link below. Many more to come unfortunately (very unlikely for us, although some thunder is possible).

Also, the NWS-NYC has issued a fairly rare extreme wind warning for coastal LI.

Thought this might be helpful, from the NWS - hadn't seen this before. As per my earlier post above, the NWS is predicting widespread minor to moderate river flooding all over the region, but so far, major flooding is only predicted for the Passaic, Pompton and Saddle Rivers in NNJ. That could change if we get more rain than the 2-3" expected.
We attach words like MINOR, MODERATE, and MAJOR to river
flooding. What do these words mean?
MINOR FLOODING: Minimal to no property damage, but some public
threat can be expected (e.g. inundation of roads).
MODERATE FLOODING: Some inundation of structures and roads near
streams/rivers are expected. Evacuations of people and/or the
transfer of property to higher elevations can be anticipated.
MAJOR FLOODING: Extensive inundation of structures and roads.
Evacuations of people are on a larger scale. The transfer of
property to higher elevations is needed.

You'd be the first person I've ever seen who didn't list every degree obtained on a resume, especially on Linked In where people want to demonstrate breadth of education. You've also mentioned your CE and MBA degrees countless times on this board, but you expect us to believe you had two more and failed to never mention them? Is that what you're going with? Personally, I don't give a crap how many RU degrees you have and I'm glad you have at least 2, but you're the one who made it an issue, so do tell.
More is not always better. And yes, I have mentioned my history degrees on this board numerous times (via dual degree undergrad program and further classes). I also have 6/10th of a MS in ChemE before deciding to go MBA. Thank you to Davidson for that advice!
.38 inches in Hillsborough
around the state generally anywhere from a quarter of inch to 3/4 of an inch has been reported
around the state generally anywhere from a quarter of inch to 3/4 of an inch has been reported
the heaviest of the rain progged to move through the state in the 6pm to 12 am timeframe
Leaving Somerset around 545-550
You think the roads will be flooded then?
Also, how will the rain & wind be at that time
most of the rivers will not crest until tomorrow morning or early afternoon but likely to hit flood stage after midnight

#'s giving you the third degree about your lack of 4 degrees is not going to make up for the fact that you have only two degrees. Or something like that.
rain will be moderate to heavy at that time and will be heavy leaving the game...wind should start to pick up after 6
there definitely can be some minor highway flooding so you should use caution yet the flooding impacts are much more likely to hit later
Unlikely any urban flooding before 6-7 pm when the really heavy squall line bands start raking the whole area and will continue to do so off and on through 1-2 am; worst winds will likely be about 9 pm to 1-2 am, but will still be gusting to 30-40 mph from 6-9 pm in the RAC area.
For the game, it's hard to predict urban road flooding, but if we see some 1/2" of rain per hour rates from 6-9 pm, there will likely be some roads getting flooded, so the drive home is going to suck for many. Also, there won't be any stream/river flooding before about midnight (with most river flooding going on later on Wednesday into Thursday), so that shouldn't be an issue for people going to the game.
Crazy weather event here in the Boone NC area. Finally passed thru about an hour ago, now heading into central NC. We had 4" snow from Sunday. Then heavy freezing rain from this system, turning to heavy rain before trailing off. Now starting to freeze up, with snow showers thru midday tomorrow before clearing. Flooding, some slides into roadways, trees down, power outages, tornados popping up.... Now forecast indicating a conveyor-belt scenario with two more systems thru early next week. Good luck up there in NJ.
Sounds like the worst of all worlds. Good weather for hunkering down. Stay safe!
Aaaaaand I can be the first to report a power outage. In Lambertville/West Amwell area. To be fair, we lose power when it drizzles.
What time on Fridays are scheduled to get going? Wrestling vs Indians is at 7, so hopefully it’s later on Friday night.
