Thunder Road Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Quite the difference between the NAM calling for a high of 32, and the NWS going 42. I wonder why that is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That radar is south and west of the city, with several mountains in between possibly blocking the beam. Keep in mind that the airport is actually 30 miles north of Juneau itself and is in an area of downsloping winds for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxmeddler Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Looks like 30 degrees is going to be the days starting point.. I had 32 and changed to 31 at 00:00:21 but it was late. -1 pt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Road Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Juneau is going to end up being a throw-away for me most likely. I can spit back MOS guidance but I have no understanding of their local climo/geography, so it'll be very hard for me to get an edge over anyone else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icebreaker5221 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Well, to answer my own question from earlier: no, you cannot see precip when it is falling at Juneau on the radar. Too much beam blockage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L.B. LaForce Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Money! I had 0.55" Well yesterdays forecast screwed me over anyways. What happen to the shot of cold air behind the cold front?

kab2791 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Yep, I got lucky that day with that 0.55", though the winds have messed things up a bit. On 11/12/2011 at 6:30 PM, L.B.

Quincy Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 interesting. I completely busted on the low for day 4, but since I was spot on for precip and wind, I managed to move to first in my school. bring on week two! who would have thought I'd be doing this well for a city like Juneau maybe people are just getting lazy by now. honestly, I did my last few forecasts only from data I could check out on my phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Looks like it's going to get downright cold in Juneau towards the end of the week. Highs in the 20s and lows in the teens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
