the WFO• Existing Partnerships in Climate Related

Additional Proposed Partnerships in Climatology
• Put current drought in climatological perspectiveCurrent 30-year normals include wet years of the 1970sConsidering the past 100 years, the current dry period is
not so abnormal
• Develop a flash flood climatology for our County Warning Area
• Compute flash flood return periods for use in forecasting major flood events

Climatology of Mean Areal Precipitation
“I know this is going to be a heavy rain event. Flooding is probable. But how high should I go in my QPF? How much rain should I forecast?”

Climatology of Mean Areal Precipitation

38
Climatology of Mean Areal Precipitation
• Heavy precip is a rarity in the Mid Atlantic
• Most of the time, when there is precip, there is less than ¼”
• Most record events are with tropical storms
Bottom Line…
CLIMATE SERVICES PARTNERSHIPSCSD Partnership Program – Patti Wnek

39
Climatology of Mean Areal Precipitation
Reality… • With no updates, climatology became less useful
• Change in staffing at WFOs – users aren’t aware of its existence or even what the impact of QPF is on their operations
CLIMATE SERVICES PARTNERSHIPSCSD Partnership Program – Patti Wnek
OCWWS -- CLIMATE SERVICES DIVISION

Climatology of Mean Areal Precipitation
• Continue collaboration with PSU instructors and students
• Work to update climatology• Automate future updates• Educate users (HAS Forecasters,
Hydrologists, WFO Forecasters, HPC Forecasters
• Share with other RFCs
