WOFS should be running this afternoon: looks like the first run will come out around 1700z: https://cbwofs.nssl.noaa.gov/Forecast?model=WOFSRun20250428-132559d1&rd=20250428&rt=202504281700&product=comp_dz__paintballs_thresh_40&sector=wofs

Already 66F off another frosty night of 30F. Easy 40F diurnal swing incoming.

i had not really slept in 3 months. I would fall asleep and wake back up. I never had a panic attack but i assume thats what it feels like. My heart would racing. The ER Dr said that could have been a missed sign, as i was in A-Fib. i have to assume that all checked out ok for you. The Doctors and nurses at PSU Hampden saved my life. They had no idea what was wrong and started treating me broadly while they honed on the problem. No dude was a Cath installed, but after they inserted that, they took 7.5 liters of liquid off me in 12 hours..Think about that That was the first night i fell asleep and slept all night. My daughter told me the next morning my brother told her after i fell asleep he's alright, he is finally sleeping(ICU allowed 2 people at a time) but they loved me and let everyone in, and i had no idea the room was filled. Hell didn't want me and heaven wasn't ready for me. and now everyday is a Holiday for me. Good luck my friend.

1st 70F day

72 feels cool in the shade

I have an Echo scheduled for next week. Every test for every possible answer has come back negative so far. Some of my symptoms are mildly better but I still have chest issues. I was awakened at 3:30 this morning with my heart racing. I was able to calm myself down and fall back asleep about 90 minutes later. I very much appreciate your advice. I've been in and out of the doctor's several times. I'm calling again after lunch. Your story is incredibly scary. I had no idea the extent of your illness. Obviously very happy that you made it through all of that.

We walked 23,000 steps yesterday and my calves are dying today. Getting old is a bummer, isn't it?

Sorry to hear Mike. Chris is right, last year i was diagnosed for 5 FING months of a sinus infection. I was at my doct. or urgent care over 10 times in 5 months, turns out i had Pneumonia. The misdiagnosis almost killed me. when i went to ER, i was in Heart, liver and kidney failure i was also septic. not to mention my A1C was at 15. they told my family they had no idea how i was alive and to prepare as they didn't think i'd make it. If you're not getting results you want, force them to broadly test, for EVERYTHING. when they did my Echo, my ejection fraction was 8% normal is like 55-60%. You don't need opinions, you need answers. God i hope you get answers.

and clear blue skies

if we had a dry pattern though why did we still have an onshore flow? usually you need a downsloping flow for it to be that dry like 1966 was.

up to 73 here-another beaut!

Don’t fight summer . It’s here . Enjoy the best season

The reason why some of the more extreme climate forecasts from the 70s and 80s did not verify is because we have natural heat sinks in place (like the oceans) that store that extra heat energy. I liken it to a busted severe weather forecast that failed because the cap did not break. However, those natural systems can only hold for so long and at some point the cap will break and then we'll see an accelerated greenhouse effect. Let's just hope it does not do that for a few decades yet.

66/30 Brutal

ya looks awesome now.. heat and dews.. oh wait

Torch !!!

Yes, it worked out very well this season.

do you remember at Funky Murphy's, we were talking about the "deamplification" error of the models? How there seems to be an everyday requirement of whatever eye-candy there is in the extended, to salt the sucker at least some amount. I suspect that is related to the models having to "speed up" the flow, moving all events from circa D12s to D8s ... to D4s and so on. Along the way, speeding up processes is but very subtle along 6 hourly intervals in the models, but is too little perhaps to notice. But aggregated over time, requires some 20% ( for the sake of discussion) of mechanical organization lost after a week of doing that.. It's like an exchange, where the models have to take energy from the small scales, to then supply the large scale with the faster basal flow velocities. Sounds like human-based economics interestingly enough... haha

Canaan Valley dropped to 18.

BTW, @bluewaveperhaps sometimes my posts are more intense than intended as a result of the heavily sarcastic tone...believe me, I'm not angry and do value your contributions.

Great solar power production days yesterday and today . Making up for lost time early this month.

Believe me, everyone in the SNE forum can recall with vivid clarity your position with respect to the enhanced medium limiting storm potential. It hasn't slid under the radar, I can assure you.

Nice time lapse of T-Storms moving through NYC early Saturday evening. https://x.com/i/status/1916519549328896468

I implied that you no longer feel the traditional concept of the multidecadal PDO cycling is still valid....what did I misstate?? I replied that its soon to draw that conclusion, and posted a graph that reveals similar cycling in the past as evidence. I agree regarding the second bolded point, but I don't think thats because I am misunderstanding anything....its because thise mode of communication is very impersonal and it is in fact difficult to detect tonality. You are probably right that I wouldn't perceieve you as arrogant in that case.

You know ... not that my opinion needs to matter more than the next guy's. In striving to be 'reasonable', objectivity should be one's governing goal. If they are ... others will be more likely to consider ... etc... Aaaand then we let MAGA choose what's objective. LOL no Seriously, I maintain that CC is true. I also maintain that the science of CC et al is not entirely certain as to how it will manifest. I will say ... there is a growing compendium of published papers that describe changes in the global circulation; faster jets is one of them. I've posted links in American WX here and there, but no replies or forwarding conversation, lend much of any confidence that anyone would recall my having done so... heh. There's a lot of advancing mathematics that has demonstrated better predictive skill, but there's still quite obviously ( and I know you may not like this word but bear with the semantics ) "alarming" gaps. Case in point, 2023: not a single human being ( that I am aware...), nor any technology therefrom, predicted that en entire fucking planet ( a whole planet ) would up and raise a degree C, ocean to air, everywhere, simultaneously. It was strangeness at a tedious scale that I haven't heard anyone, not even the University apparatus, mention. There's plenty of, 'still a mystery as to how,' type studies, but none that I've seen the specifically addresses the question: why would the 40N and above spanning Atlantic Basin SSTs, rise at the same rate and amount as the Indian Ocean, while both rose at a similar amount and speed as the ENSO band ( 4, 3.4, 3, 1+2)... as did the south Pacific...? It's like some kind of conductor zapped the whole world. These fields, moving in unison, is the alarming aspect. And the atmosphere went right along with it... That occurrence proves that "the science of CC et al is not entirely certain as to how it will manifest" That uncertainty, moreover, allows for a larger envelope of plausible emergence yet to be presented given time. Last winter was - I think - an under-the-radar extraordinary event. It just didn't hurt anything. I've been alive for many decades now ...I've never seen 4" lousy inches of snow survive 3.5 months of time in any winter, including the big dawgs of lore. The persistent temperature suppression, albeit not extraordinarily cold, that went along with that ... is something I've never heard of. I suspect CC is always manifesting in these idiosyncratic ways that are too nuanced to most people's everyday, including the nerds, to really consider. We are an observation enslaved interpreter species of the universe and nature - we water cooler and shelve all speculation and predictions, until they are squeezing our balls.
