That’s going to be SEA come February!

I thought this well known, but there are dozens of data losses a day and gaps in gathering data for every model run. This is all very easily researchable. Real-time Data: Balloons (radiosondes) provide unique, independent measurements of temperature, humidity, pressure, and wind at different atmospheric levels, crucial for understanding storm development. Model Accuracy: This data feeds directly into numerical weather prediction models (like the GFS and Euro), improving forecast accuracy for severe weather and major storms. Impact of the Cuts Weakened Forecasts: Less data leads to less precise forecasts, especially for severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, and winter weather. Data Gaps: Key regions like Tornado Alley, the Rocky Mountains, and Florida have experienced missing launches, impacting warnings. Unprecedented Interruptions: Experienced meteorologists call these staffing-related cuts "unprecedented," differing from past minor interruptions. Who's Affected & What's Being Done Locations Affected: NWS offices in states like Nebraska, South Dakota, Colorado, Michigan, Alaska, and others reduced or stopped launches.” So we might be able to get a general pattern recognition, But Forecasting severe storms and severe weather has been reduced in accuracy. accuracy with the 3-5 day forecasts have improved by 90 percent since the 80’s. We will probably go backwards at this point. AI might help at some point. But it’s getting less data as well.

Even Mark Nelsen talked about the upcoming East Wind event but he said winds in the East Metro area could see winds up to 60 mph. I may have to go up to Crown Point again. I'm guessing winds up there could be up to 100 mph if we see winds to 60 at my place remember that @Gradient Keeper https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Encg8FmS2/

No fog for me, and no clear skies for Tim. 48 degrees.
