    We’re at the airport heading to TX this morning, so it’s sorta chips fall time. We’ll see what happens. Good luck to everyone going!

    I’m hugging whatever I can

    Not sure what “sunshine duration (1h)” precisely means, but I like that a LOT more than the cloud cover %. GFS shows 0 mins for TX, but euro is like 30-50 mins for eclipse time.

    12z GGEM follows RGEM for central TX with mostly clear skies. Gfs remains fugly.
  5. WxUSAF
    Don’t know precisely. Apparently the GFS has a cloudy bias, particularly for cirrus. But I’m going to hug it until totality.

    #TeamCanada go RGEM!!

    Oh my

    Was on the ground floor of the building at that time and didn’t feel it. Looks like a few reports in our area though.

    Tomer changed his % of clear sky solar radiation metrics to 85/60-85/<60, which wasn’t favorable for TX lol. I’m still hugging the GGEM which looks mostly clear for me during eclipse.

    Those nurseries usually specify sun or shade and soil type mixes

    @Bob Chill cat 5 up the Bay year finally???

    Hugging the hell outta the 12z GGEM
  13. WxUSAF
    Yup. That was one of my prime criteria in 2017.

    All I’d recommend is picking your spot, get there early, and leave well after totality. Most people will get back in the car right after totality ends. Stay put for another few hours and hopefully traffic calms down.

    I haven’t done a meadow mix. I got some native grass seed and spread some of that with mixed results.

    Tomer’s eclipse city dashboard shows 77% of ensemble members have “favorable” or “somewhat favorable” conditions for eclipse viewing west of Austin. Despite the NBM showing 65-80% cloud cover. So maybe that implies just thin cirrus?? That’s what I’m hoping for at this point. I’ll definitely take the under on just about any prediction of convective cloud cover around the totality path. As I recall from 2017, only the hrrr actually accounted for the reduction in insolation? And it made a visible difference in cumulus coverage.

    Windshield is all frozen

    Low of 33.
  19. WxUSAF
    Prairie Nursery and other online nurseries have seed mixes that would probably work for that.

    Think I had some in Greenbelt just now eta…definitely thunder and lightning
  21. WxUSAF
    Yeah MBY has to be pushing 3” for the week
  22. WxUSAF
    Interpolating CoCoRaHS, I’m between 2 and 3”.

    TX and the Ohio area seem like a zero sum game. Improvement for one means worse weather for the other. Slower progression and a weaker system of that initial low increases cloud and shower chances for TX it seems.
  24. WxUSAF
    Apparently GFS has a known bias to overdo cloud cover. I’ve seen that a few places over the last week.
  25. WxUSAF
    It really does look like the best chance for clear skies. Crazy.
