I bit the bullet this winter and spent 5-6 hours mostly through youtube videos learning the basics so that soundings and skew charts don't look totally foreign to me. I am absolutely amazed at just how much information gets packed into those sounding/skew images that metrologist post on social media. Now I'm trying to dig into all mesoanaylais abbreviations one finds on the soundings, teach myself what exactly it's measuring, why it's being measured, how it interacts with other meso indices, how it's displayed on the nws mesoanaylais maps, that many times like to display many indices at once on the same map. I would pay a nice amount for software similar to space engine/Microsoft flight simulator, that allows you to play around and learn about weather through interactive 3D simulation. Be able to tweak the soundings as well as the low strengths at different levels, moisture, basically everything you can see on a meso map and let the statistical model make an approximation. Have past major weather events simulated so one can explore them from start to finish. Best hope I probably have at ever seeing anything close to that would probably be some add on to new Microsoft flight simulator 2024 since it already has live weather integration. My one friend has invested many thousands in his simulator setup over the years and the graphics on this new version are amazing. Just all overkill for weather only.

When are you going to stop in at the high dive Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

I'm already over heating It's going to be a long 6 months Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

The printing press was a mistake Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

0.05" of rain is not doing anything for this drought. Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

I saw snow flurries this afternoon. Watch this year be another May we see snow showers Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

Seattle has a hatched day for supercells with large hail Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

Red flags are up south of us Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

Elevated fire risk, yet again Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

Wind we have such an abundance of that we seem never short of going over the forecast Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

Is @Bubbler86 coming back anytime soon. I miss his analysis Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

It's become depressingly slow in here Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

South East winds return tomorrow Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

Which is exactly why nature will give us April snow Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

Until we get another june1998 with f3/f4 around seven springs south or a 5/31/85 outbreak with a long track f3/f4 going for 100 miles east but this time further south Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

1.84" here. That type of system in late May or June would bring a whole lot of hurt here Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

Back building has been phenomenal. 1.78" and still raining Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

Over 1.50". This ended up being a big win against drought Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

This is beautiful Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

This seems like the kind of slow moving front that would drop widespread 4"+ if this were June. Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

I wish we had this the next 8 hours. Perfect sleeping thunder and rain Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

I'm now hoping we can at least clear 1" of rain. 2" would be a dream Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

Still a lot of stations reporting dew points in the 60s in Cumberland and York counties. Winds have calmed Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

If we do get decent storms it's all because of that hour of partly sunny conditions heating the BL some. That might also be why your dew point dropped some. We might have had a little inversion trapping some moisture near surface and the sun and winds were able to mix out some Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk
