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
The only question that comes to mind is that the Supremes are expected to keep their personal political opinions quiet.
They're chosen to be party neutral and make impartial informed legal decisions as decisions become the law of the land quite often. The flag expressed a personal political position negating their neutral position.
NWS survey crews said they found extensive damage in Valley View, in Cooke County, and rated the tornado that touched down along Interstate 35 a "higher-end EF-2" with maximum winds of 135 mph.
NWS still has yet to determine how many twisters hit the area.
Today is 92* approaching noon. Humidity approaching 70%.
Simple horrible. Husband had to call it quits at 10am. Too bloody hot/humid for anyone.
Leavenworth is more popular than ever.
It seems Seattle-area vacationers are craving sunshine more than ever, because four of the five destinations with the fastest growth in visitors are hot, sunny locales. Mexico ranked No. 2, up 43% from the 2018-2019 period, followed by Phoenix, which was up 30% and Hawaii, up 27%.
In contrast, the destination that rounded out the Top 5 is best known for cold-weather activities, especially around the Christmas season. It’s also a lot closer to home, making it an ideal weekend getaway. Overnight-or-longer visitors from the Seattle area to Leavenworth, the Bavarian-style mountain town in Chelan County, increased by about 21%, hitting around 750,000.
