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
Definitely hasn't been a shortage of weather to talk about across the region and across the state this month. I'm sorry for my absence, friends.
The large storm that passed over OKC the other night was truly beautiful to watch.
I hadn't gotten to watch a massive supercell like that out there in many years. It makes me feel so small.
The weather is still always amazing to me, even if it is destructive at times.
Will have to see where things end up, but so far, this meteorological spring is the 3rd warmest on record for Chicago, trailing only 1977 and 2012.
In case anyone is wondering how much that the absurdly warm March 2012 is skewing the results... the period just from April 1 until now registers as 4th warmest.
Tomorrow we may get hit again here, but it's Saturday that does indeed look ominous. Could be some big time storms along the front with large hail initially, but the tornado threat will go way up as the LLJ punches in.
Welcome back! I started mowing on Sunday until my mower broke down (first time in the 14yrs I have had it) Waiting on parts to arrive, I’m starting to get a little nervous that the grass will start to get a little out of control before I can get it up and going again which will hopefully be this weekend. And by most peoples standards would still call the grass fairly short…But not me!
