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
At least I don't think the focus of this outbreak will be tornadoes. We will get some, perhaps even quite strong, but overall I think hail and wind may end up the bigger threats. I guess we will see though since in a lot of ways we don't know for sure until the day of.
Exactly. Need to catch up on deficit so it's nice to do that while we are out of town. I don't have a strong desire to see more 50 degree rain. But I am sad we missed most of today. Ended up getting up to 75 in North Bend.
Dude..... then why do you think he was complaining about it....?????
Tim can correct me if I'm wrong, but it seemed like he wants it to be rainy and cold while he's gone to help with the potential water problems this summer, and then nice weather when he comes back. My comment was an example of that (but as snow instead of sun), defending his comment.
