WeatherNC Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Question @ any iOS device holders... Anyone have/use radar scope? Granted it is one of the most expensive app store radar apps, think it was $9.99, however, I pulled the trigger on day one with the iPhone 3GS and have been handsomely rewarded ever since. Since then, we have upgraded to a iPad2 and couple 4S's, and scope has updated with 4 dual-pole products out of MHX. Differential Reflectivity, Correlation Coefficient, Differential Phase Tilt 1-4, and Hydrometeor Classification 1-4. Just putting this out there for banter and OT SE wx side discussion. GRLevelX wants another 200 bucks on top of my L2 package which I already have for these products. Talking to a local Chief Met here, these are the only for products that have been made available to the public. I have pressed the developer of Radarscope for a L2 data feed, and it may be forthcoming. Just getting the message out, especially as the new implantation is rolled to more sites.

Best radar app out there, hands down. and to $9.99 a bigger bonus. My older Droid can't run it, so I'm going to have to upgrade my phone before I can use it. But... it will be the first app I put on it. I noticed you can get a dual pol feed from the University of Iowa for GRL2 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have it on my iPod touch...I'll have to invest in a 4S. IMO you should be able to pay a flat fee for 2 & 3, and around double if you want Analyst too... I bought 3 a while ago but now I kinda want 2 for obvious reasons, but don't have the extra dough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaculaWeather Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I'm thinking about getting GRL2 also. As much as I'd like GRL2A I can't really justify the extra cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gastonwxman Posted November 6, 2011 Author Share Posted November 6, 2011 Don't forget that Sunday Daylight Saving Time ends so be sure to set those clocks back an hour when you head into bed. I think mostly everyone would like to be able to get that extra hour of sleep. I actually like it when we get dark early. Gets me into the winter mood even more especially when you're able to turn the Christmas lights on early during the evenings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoothillsNC Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Ouch .... The GFS and ECMWF have a strong Southeast ridge starting in about a week, and lasting a while. As a deep trough is out west, the amped flow could push some record highs toward the Southeast. Atleast well above normal temps. 60s and 70's.

nchighcountrywx Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/enso/mei/mei.html From Klaus Wolter . "La Niña appears to have staged a comeback similar to 2008, and consistent with expectations formulated right here one year ago: big La Niña events have a strong tendency to re-emerge after 'taking time off' during northern hemispheric summer. Based on current atmosphere-ocean conditions, I believe the odds for a La Niña winter have indeed risen to 100%, with the odds of La Niña conditions continuing right into early spring (say, March-April 2012) at well above 50%. However, it does not appear likely that we will see as strong an event as in 2010-11." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packbacker Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Not sure if this was posted, but I thought it was a good write up....From what I read on the CPC site this looks to be like a "east based" La Nina, which I would guess would be better for us. http://theweathercentre.blogspot.com/2011/11/final-2011-2012-winter-forecast.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I guess the good thing, at least for central NC, is if this winter is going to be a bust than it should be a warm dry bust. A warm/dry bust is a a close second to wintry weather.

FallsLake Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 well that sucks lol. although i'd rather the ridge be here now instead of dec. or jan i just hope that the dreaded se ridge isnt here most of the winter I've asked the question before about if there is any correlation between a warm November and a cold winter (and vise versa). Some have said that the patterns become set in November so a cold November is what you want. But just from memory, it seems when we have a cold November the following winter is not that bad (and vise versa). It's kind of like a seesaw. We have three periods of winter (front, middle, end), and you want the seesaw to be down for the front, up in the middle (January thaw), and then back down again for the end. The seesaw it up now hopefully it can fall by the 1st of December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lookout Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Checkout the storm in the bering sea, they are calling it a "superstorm" which is going to rival the strongest storm on record there which occurred back in 1974.

HIGH WATER LEVELS WILL PRODUCE COASTAL FLOODING ALONG THE SOUTHERN SHORE OF NORTON SOUND. STRONG WINDS AND WAVE ACTION MAY PUSH ICE IN NORTON BAY ON SHORE. MODERATELY ELEVATED SEA LEVELS AND HIGH WAVES WILL CAUSE SEVERE BEACH EROSION AND MAJOR COASTAL FLOODING ALONG THE SOUTH AND WEST FACING COASTS OF ST LAWRENCE ISLAND TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. ALONG THE CHUKCHI SEA COAST FROM CAPE KRUSENSTERN NORTHWEST... SOUTHEAST WINDS GUSTING TO A HIGH AS 70 MPH WILL PRODUCE HIGH WAVES AND SOME ELEVATION OF SEA LEVELS...RESULTING IN SEVERE BEACH EROSION AND MAJOR COASTAL FLOODING. THE VILLAGE OF KIVALINA WILL BE HIGHLY VULNERABLE TO DAMAGE CAUSED BY BEACH EROSION AND COASTAL FLOODING. THE STORM WILL ALSO PRODUCE SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL AND BLIZZARD CONDITIONS OVER ALMOST ALL OF THE WEST COAST TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. SNOWFALL AMOUNTS OF AS MUCH AS 14 INCHES ARE EXPECTED ALONG THE SOUTHERN SEWARD PENINSULA COAST AND IN PARTS OF THE INTERIOR SEWARD PENINSULA.
