    Back to having ugly rainfall totals again on the 00z Euro because of the stall. Over 40" around ILM.
  2. Hoosier
    00z Euro has it stalled at the NC/SC border at 96 hours.
  3. Hoosier
    00z GFS is headed for Myrtle Beach moving southwest.
  4. Hoosier
    Last 3 runs
  5. Hoosier
    00z GFS is west of 12z as well so far, so not just a 1 cycle move.
  6. Hoosier
    If we're going to be talking about the NAM, yes it is southwest of 18z, but the position at 66 hr is almost identical to the 12z run at 78 hr. Just some context.

    That looks like the old school TWC graphics. Who knew that they're still in use.

    I doubt it. Of course it gets crazy hot there but the dews aren't high enough. My guess for highest heat index would be somewhere in the Midwest, which has the benefit of extra evapotranspiration from the crops.

    Agree... go with the reliable info when you have it. I just meant that the data to pick from is a bit limited by not having public access to the intrahour obs from many years back.

    Looks like that was intrahour. That's the thing... these wind chill records are almost always going to be hourly readings since I don't think it's possible to find intrahour observation archives from long ago.

    I was in Lafayette, IN back then. Looks like the wind chill bottomed out at -40

    1/6/2014 was quite an experience. Besides the extreme cold, the fact that the temperature dropped to those levels so soon after the snowstorm meant that the roads were a mess. Even the main roads had that layer of hardened snow that wouldn't come off.

    The Kansas/Missouri records being colder is a little surprising, but there could be various reasons. Even could be some microclimate thing.

    Congrats on the job. Sucks that another poster is moving out of the region though.

    All that is is modeled precip amounts from the moment the temp drops to 32 or below, with no consideration for rates (heavier rates tend to have more runoff) or whether temps are more like 31-32 or in the 20s. They give an idea of where icing may occur but otherwise I would not take them literally.

    It's not good toward the Midwest. In fact, a pretty significant amount of the country is abnormally dry or in drought conditions. 90 day precip % of average The feedback loop can be much more of an issue in warmer months as evaporation rates increase, so you are right that this would be a much bigger concern if these dry conditions are still around in Spring.

    Agreed. I don't think I had ever been so paranoid/nervous about the weather. Knowing about 8/21/17 for over 10 years and having such a small window of opportunity was stressful. It would've taken me a while to get over it had I missed out lol. Glad things worked out for many folks.

    1 week ago, all the planning and drama about whether clouds would cooperate. I'm getting some eclipse withdrawal.
  19. Hoosier
    I dvr'd some of the coverage and got around to watching it and wow, it looks like it was dark as night during the total eclipse in areas that had clouds. Like parts of Oregon, downtown Nashville, and parts of South Carolina. Areas with little/no clouds had more of the dusk look.

    Forgot to post this before. Tom Skilling's reaction was gold.

    The 2045 eclipse in the US will be insane with 6+ min totality. I don't think I will be globetrotting to future eclipses but I'll certainly try to get to the US eclipses.

    I am very glad I had non internet/GPS maps, especially since I made the decision to switch targets in the morning. Internet/GPS capability was pretty awful where I was driving in S IL. Then again I'm not sure how good it is to begin with in those rural areas.

    Overall I was happy with how it went... I had game planned how I wanted to spend the 2 min 40 sec and it went well for the most part, but a couple things could've gone better. I had a pair of binoculars for totality and it took me a good 10-15 seconds to locate it through the binoculars. Also I took 1 short video just to get my voice on record with the date/location but forgot to turn it to selfie mode. Next time I may try to spend more time looking for shadow bands...

    The average Joe just doesn't get it. I had read about the difference between being in 99% and 100%, and it's not like I was doubting it, but you really can't fully grasp it until you're there. Totality began at 1:20 at my location and while the light was gradually growing dimmer, it was striking how much light there was even at 1:17, 1:18, etc. I couldn't stop glancing at my phone to count down the minutes lol
  25. Hoosier
    Something I never knew is that the moon is very slowly moving away from Earth, which means that total solar eclipses will not be able to occur many millions of years from now.
