baroclinic_instability Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I wish they had waited longer into the season for Riverton. Folks would get a hard lesson in mtn meteorology. Riverton gets some classic cold fronts in late fall/winter with difficult to assess/forecast upslope flow into the Wind River Range. Squally precip is highly dependent upon the orientation of the cold front as well as the moisture content along/behind and also the froude number. Reminds me of Calgary as they have similar forecast challenges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quincy Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 64/39/20/0.00 quick assessment leads me to believe the temperature variation won't be that great, but we'll see! (had to put a quick forecast together this morning and only had a very brief moment to review around 4pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dsnowx53 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 62/41/19/0.00 Probably should have gone a bit higher with the winds...oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dsnowx53 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Question: All I can see on the results page is my national ranking for Miami, and my national ranking for Riverton, separately. But I want to see my overall national ranking that combines both Miami and Riverton. How do I do this? Edit: I know there is the "Cumulative Results" page, but I think this page is equally weighing Riverton and Miami as if we've been issuing forecasts for the same number of days in both of those cities, which obviously isn't true. No way I moved up from 640th to 187th in just one day of Riverton... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have only been through two cities so far and your worst city score is dropped so your national ranking shown would be for whichever city you did better in so far.

Oh okay, I didn't know that. Thanks! It'd still be nice if there was a way to show how you would be doing if the lowest city wasn't dropped, though.

Thunder Road Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Yesterday's MOS guidances (especially the GFS MOS) has a spike in wind velocities around 21z. Obviously that's passed, but I wonder if they're correct and we jump up to 15 or 20 knots for a time, or if it ends up being a flat-out bust. I know very little about high-elevation forecasting, but I think somebody mentioned something about afternoon downsloping winds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank God, because I totally forgot to forecast last night lol. Of course I'll probably forget some other city at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder Road Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 If I waited longer for tomorrow's forecast, I would have gone higher on the winds, seeing how impressive they became in such a short time today. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Road Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I also made my 0.00" call based on the NMM and ARW from Allan's site (because I can't find them on the stupid new NCEP site) and only now realized that they're from July 19th.

wxmeddler Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I waited until the 23:53 METAR to decide on the winds. The low will be interesting to see what happens. One theory is a sharp inversion (NAM,RUC) while the GFS keeps it warm with some lingering cloud cover/winds. I am tending slightly towards the GFS and put 38. 58/38/14/0.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisrotary12 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Wow how screwed up is this. The ppl who used Guidance forecasts who technically missed their forecast for the day are the ones who are gaining the most ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
