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
I'm a bit late reporting but my weather station recorded 1.52" from this week's system. Pretty much right on with the models and forecast. Things are greening up nicely around the TC metro......although today was cold and windy with some snow showers. Only reached 37° today. Freeze Warning tonight! Yuck. I am more than ready for sustained spring weather.
54 currently with a 28 dewpoint, 62/24 day which is the same high temp as yesterdays 62/17 day. Every single day when we were gone got down into the 10s or 20s at night, except for April 14th which only got down to 37, and the day with the biggest diurnal spread was April 10th with a 72/16 day.
Was looking at our temperature chart on the eclipse day, surprisingly the 26% coverage of the sun back home was enough to make the temperature stop going up, although it never really cooled down. Where we were in Arkansas experienced a 11 degree temp drop.
