wxmeddler Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Should of gone with Lamp... I think I just added 9 points on wind alone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 37 knots was the peak gust so probably no more than 32 for the sustained but i wouldnt be shocked if the asos caught the strongest wind on the ob so could just be 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxBlue Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Still one degrees below yesterday as of 10:53 PDT. Things are certainly going my way as long as the day finishes with high of 70 or below. EDIT: Now it's one degrees above yesterday one hour later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Looks like someone might have just turned on the air compressor at Redding . The dew just took a hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metsfan Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Hey Max, Hysplit had some high numbers for tomorrow. I calculated 78 for a high. I don't think it's gonna be that high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Hey Max, Hysplit had some high numbers for tomorrow. I calculated 78 for a high. I don't think it's gonna be that high. It's possible. But I don't know for sure. Edit: Your calculation is also dependent on how high you set your parcel heights and usually you want that to be the BL height.

Max Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Hey Max, Hysplit had some high numbers for tomorrow. I calculated 78 for a high. I don't think it's gonna be that high. I'm getting anywhere from 73.4 to around 76. My assumptions might be different from yours so therefore the way I calculate the temperature might be leading to a lower number then yours, But I'm using stations west of the Great Salt Lake as my origin point.

Quincy Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 73/44/15/0.00 The high only got to 69 so far today, but tomorrow still looks at least slightly milder. Sided on the edge of caution, so didn't go too high with the max. Despite dew-points in the 20s tonight, winds should limit radiational cooling. Winds may peak right around 6z before falling. They were still 21kt as of 0z, so it will be interesting to see what the peak winds are for tomorrow. I imagine many contestants will skew their day 2 winds high due to what happened today. 16th in the country right now is not bad, but it's only one day and things could sway a lot before the first RDD week is over.

WxBlue Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Feel like I got lucky today with the 69, but I'll take it for 120th spot in nation! The reason why I got 67 for today is because yesterday underperformed with all models. 73/44/11/0.00 for tomorrow since I didn't want to take a risk for anything although I nearly gambled lower temperature with NAM/GFS but I end up listening to NWS/USL slightly more. Maybe winds should have been higher, but I never like going too far from NWS/USL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 75/41/12 08z is midnight PST. It's actually 7z now Dude Ben Franklin proposed DST you should at least remember what time it is lol Edit: Stupid standard time. I'm going to argue they should change like everyone else. What a bunch of crock. Regardless, 980mb winds look high at around 9z tonight and it's close enough to the surface I liked going 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the climate reports go by midnight local STANDARD time as far as I know, even during DST. I don't like going that high because the winds are at night, so harder to mix down to the surface.

Max Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Weird how temp didnt drop as much with lighter winds than the night before. But tonight before 6z they could as winds could go calm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quincy Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 At least I hit the wind. Nice spike to 16kt. I was mildly concerned, but the models did show winds increasing somewhat today. Good thing, because if the winds had peaked at 6z (which was a possibility), us with higher winds would have lost ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the winds go calm tonight for a few hours prior to 6z and the temp plummets a bit. Certainly possible I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OHweather Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Have I mentioned that I might dislike Redding more than BWI, and it's only day 2? At least the wind spiked up. 76 will be a stretch for the high, probably 74-75. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OHweather Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 If the temp stays up all night again with little wind this time I might just say eff lol The highs are what are killing me so far. Wasn't thrilled about the low but I was only one off the consensus with that. Wind has kept me afloat (kind of). Left a few points on the floor so to speak yesterday with the wind but was still 5 knots better than consensus yesterday and 4 knots better today.
