Really, really lovely cumulonimbus action tonight! I just happened to have my drone in the car and got some solid shots of DT Seattle/Lake Washington/Mercer Island/Bellevue looking north from Skyway. Alas, the focal length of the lens doesn't do the vertical height justice and my WB was off rendering it into semi-gross HDR territory, but still... fun looking weather! It was quite windy- I was flying right at 390 ft and the drone was giving me all sorts of warnings about sustained winds/gusts.
A most incredible snow storm. At times the snowfall rates have been as heavy or slightly heavier than January 2017. Temp 27.5, Dewpoint: 27.1 with gusty east wind and very heavy snow continuing. I'm at 11 1/2" now! UNBELIEVABLE!!!! This pic does no justice at all.
NBM is quite an interesting product! Their weighting algorithm is moderately complex and dynamic, though does has some drawbacks as we saw yesterday. For those who don't know, NBM is an attempt by NOAA to create a super probabilistic forecast model that ingests output from all the models above and outputs forecast guidance for local offices that help them to gauge the relative odds of particular weather outcomes. The 'special sauce' is the post-processing, normalization and weighting that they d
Coming from the "Valley of the Sun"...this is a legit SPRING forecast for Chicago...I'm so happy the sun will be out for 3 days straight! I guess I brought some of that valley sun with me, however, mid 40's definitely feel a wee bit chilly. We have the furnace on this morning and I'm hoping to have a fire later on this evening if the wood is dry.
Tim Scott is the embodiment of a sellout and yet Trump is seriously considering making him a VP. So that doesn't make sense.
Unless you mean he only threw out the sellouts who didn't worship at his feet? Which is, like, pretty much my entire point.
Hello from Chicago! I flew out to my old stomping grounds to visit my family for my nieces communion. I've been watching this weekends weather like a hawk and I'm thrilled that the clipper system is tracking just quick enough and to my east into MI on SAT. Glad to see the rain has been completely taken out of the forecast for both SAT and SUN. Mother's Day is just going to be gorgeous.
As some of you know, I just love flying and my flight yesterday was literally my Top 3 "smoothest" flight ever. Not even one bump of turbulence coming out of PHX, or even over the mountains in the SW...not until we began our descent into ORD we had minimal bumps from the clouds, etc. Not to shabby! Oh, and to top it of, we flew in record time as the pilot came on and said the flight will be 2 hours and 45 min! #winning. Normally, its just about 3.5 hours or less.
