Whatever works for you. To get the image to show on here, you just copy and paste the link into the "image" icon of the forum. You can also upload the pic from your desktop using the "host an image" option.

It is true. Now imagine what .1 to .6 qpf may do on Friday. But ratios probably won't be 50:1

Lol

The timing of the storm is still unknown. If it keeps getting pushed back, it may come toward the late afternoon hours on Friday as the sun goes down.

Nothing here

I really dont get what made the ratios so insane. I was looking at the upper level maps and temps dont look to support ratios that high. But upton certainly isnt lying. Anyone care to take a stab at this one?

Well, a steady west wind of 10-15 mph is helping usher in our coldest air mass of the season. Dew points are also low through the area. 50:1 is insane though.
