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
My wife and I liked Burgum during the debates but he's certainly not the most charismatic person out there. He's also not black or a woman, which, let's be honest, the VP slot is an identity politics play more than any other spot in politics. The only reason Burgum would be chosen is he has very deep pockets, which Trump desperately needs as he tries to fight going broke before the majority of his trials even start.
Tim Scott is the leading contender in my opinion. Trump has gushed over how much he loves that Scott defends him, including with the whole cringe-inducing "I just love Trump!" bit shortly after Scott dropped out of the race. Scott has his lips planted firmly to Trump's ass and that is priority number one for any VP pick.
The official H/L yesterday at Grand Rapids was 74/40 there was a trace of rainfall. The sun was out 91% of the possible time. All in all a great spring day. For today the average H/L is 69/48 the record high of 86 was set in 1982,1991 and 2022 the record low of 27 was set in 1946. Last year the H/L was 73/59.
Here in MBY I had 0.04” of rainfall overnight and the overnight low here was 58. At the current time it is cloudy and 64.
Looking forward to seeing some storm action later this afternoon/evening... @OttumwaSnomow @Clinton @Hoosier you ready boys!
This system is the Spring version of a Colorado Low Bowling Ball...
I was watching the visible satellite imagery and noticed how milky it looked behind the CF and was wondering if that was indeed smoke. Seems kinda early for fire season.
