North Balti Zen Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I guess, when I read the summer forecasts from you, Zwyts, and captial weather gang, and whomever else, I really discount/don't really care about the mins. When I see a forecast, I tend to reference it in regard to departure from normal highs. And, on that count I think Matt's call has been pretty damn good.

FrederickWX Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Another cloudy non-summer day. Just 68 degrees here, with rain. We may have positive nighttime mins giving us positive departures for the summer months, but it has not been a hot summer. We've had a lot of cooler days. Hoping tomorrow is as nice as forecast.

MN Transplant Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 0.11" on the day, with a 3-week total still under an inch. Another silent rain too, in the absolute least thundery summer I've experienced since I was 7 years old living in the Central Valley of California. Temps are nice.

MN Transplant Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I still haven't figured out how sterling does their departures the last couple years. There is obviously rounding going on that I haven't quite gotten yet It is all about rounding. Take 8/1. 83/70. So, the average is 76.5. They round up in the climo report to 77. Meanwhile the norms are 88/71, which taken at face value would be 79.5, a -3 departure for the day. But, the daily norm because of the rounding and smoothing they do with the 30 year averages turns out to be 79. So, you have a rounded 77 and a rounded and smoothed 79, for a -2 departure. Doesn't much matter for monthly climo since the unrounded values are used, and it minimally matters for daily climo because, really, outside of us who the hell cares.
