TT-SEA Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 You're using a station that NCDC has determined to be malfunctioning...and currently is reading a 4 degree dewpoint..lol. I can tell you that station is worthless. Link the stations you're using. Let's go through all the data. I have a feeling that you're looking at the two malfunctioning stations I showed you. Follow the weather here this summer..you'll see that I'm not BSing you. The first station I used shows a dewpoint of 23 right now. http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=McHenry%2C+MD Right in line with all the other stations in the area... which are in the 18-24 degree range. None of the stations in your area had a high temp even close to 90 last July... let alone 97. Your sensor is in the sun. Your original claim of 11 straight days of 80-degree dewpoints is comically wrong and has never happened there. Much like your reports 150mph winds and 12 feet of snow.

You are basing your wild claims on equipment that is misleading you in a big way. In reality... your location did not even touch 90 degrees last July by the way. I can't find one 90-degree reading in the entire month at any station.My station was damaged during the 2012 storm, I had to replace the radiation shield, but was told it would be fine. Everything else is was fine, including the anemometer. The "12 feet of snow " comment was uncalled for, and I'd like an apology. I do my best to provide accurate data and posted pics of the damage we dealt with in 2012z. It hurts a bit when you trash me despite the effort I put in here. 1 Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 You are basing your wild claims on equipment that is misleading you in a big way. Did my equipment cause this back in 2012? Wild claims, eh? My station recorded a 127mph gust during this storm...I'll let you be the judge. Photos were taken with one of those older cameras that prints out the pictures. I had like 10% battery on my phone & no power, so needed to save it.

TT-SEA Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 06Z GFS looks good for next week... GFS has come into agreement. And it appears that the original solution by the ECMWF was basically correct. Jesse indicated on Monday that the ECMWF was sending too much energy offshore (which it does at times) and that the ECMWF ensembles showed much lower heights (which they did at that time). But it seems that the operational run earlier this week was ultimately correct despite its known biases and ensembles disagreement. Just pointing that out for future reference... it does happen sometimes.

westcoastexpat Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 The back and forth is ridiculous. It could have obviously be taken to PM, but since it never was, clearly both of you assume that those of us following this thread care about your little spat, which is quite an insult to us all. Maybe Tim's daily post count can be limited to a certain number for a normal personal who isn't home all day? That seems to be the common denominator in all the "off the rails" discussions.

I went out into WV and PA for stations relatively close to you at elevations above 1,500 feet and found nothing above 85 last July. You are at 3,000 feet. You did not have 97 degrees and with dewpoints in the upper 70s (or whatever) for 11 straight days! Real bottom line... your area is relatively cool in the summer.

TT-SEA Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 The 12Z ECMWF does show a quick cool down one week from today... but its basically dry and partly cloudy as the low that crashes the ridge moves north towards AK and not into the PNW. The persistent trough over the PNW the last couple weeks seems to retrograde farther to the NW into the GOA after the ridge breaks down next week. Here is the following Monday: http://www.ecmwf.int/products/forecasts/d/getchart/catalog/products/forecasts/medium/deterministic/msl_uv850_z500!Geopotential%20500%20hPa%20and%20Temperature%20at%20850%20hPa!240!North%20America!pop!od!oper!public_plots!2014042512!!chart.gif Quote **REPORTED CONDITIONS AND ANOMALIES ARE NOT MEANT TO IMPLY ANYTHING ON A REGIONAL LEVEL UNLESS SPECIFICALLY STATED** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigOne Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 I yielded 0.8 of rain from yesterday's morning downpour that was really loud. We normally don't hear the rain due to the over insulation unless it's a hard downpour. It actually woke both me and dad up bright and early it was that loud. It was literally a sheet of rain for an hour. It was steady rain since 5am according to Dad. The rain lasted until 9:30ish. The rest of yesterday was rather dull with only 1.5 hours of sun peeking out but today is much brighter with several outbreaks of sunshine. Hopefully next week is bright as well with the warm weather and not the cloudy warm which makes the air feel oppressive and trapped. It is 55F outside now or 13C if I am correct. Please keep all arguments between certain people either in a different thread dedicated to the issue or via PM if the other person is able to receive PM's which I have notice people tend to not empty their mail per speak when asking weather questions.

TheBigOne Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Also about last Feb's snowstorm *if you can call it that since it wasn't region wide*. How come those who did get hard didn't have severe power failures? One would think with that amount of snow many trees would have fallen like the December 2008 snow and ice storm. Our lights didn't even flicker and in the 08 storm they were out for almost two days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radar will likely be down until sometime this evening.I pulled the radar up on my phone and thought something was wrong because nothing was moving. Perhaps missing frames, but yes, everything seems very stationary. Very heavy showers in northern Clark County right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Latest update from Brett Anderson on the new ECMWF weeklies: http://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-blogs/anderson/cool-air-to-dominate-into-early-may/26110876Love it. No sign of major heat building across the Four Corners. Heat building down there early can often be a harbinger of a hot summer for us.

Not much of anything on those maps... only notable thing is the cold in the same place its been all winter in the first map.

Jesse Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Also about last Feb's snowstorm *if you can call it that since it wasn't region wide*. How come those who did get hard didn't have severe power failures? One would think with that amount of snow many trees would have fallen like the December 2008 snow and ice storm. Our lights didn't even flicker and in the 08 storm they were out for almost two days. We can't call it a snowstorm because it didn't affect thousands of square miles? It significantly impacted most of SW Washington and the Willamette Valley. It was a major event. Power failure probably wasn't as much of an issue because there wasn't much in the way of ZR, at least in your area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will take not much of anything over the SW. I always hate to see them fry this early because that means the heat is already anchoring itself out west, and will likely be coming our way in a month or two. I also like the cold anomalies centered over the Northern Rockies. That anomaly placement often results in pretty nice weather for us, ie sunny, seasonable days and cool nights.
