Let's not sugarcoat it.  It's hot today.  Hot.  Ugh.  Summer hell will be here soon enough.

I thought it was me.  

 

I doubt I'll survive the summer.  I'm breathing heavily, sitting still, not talking... and, 

I can barely j*rk myself.  I feel like that old guy on Breaking Bad that rings the bell.

 

'Cept, I don't have a bell.  Who's gonna clean my pants??  Complicated.

 

 

 

What blows across that road in Waycross... Stays in Waycross.  Understand?

Might not be the best place for this but a mod can move to a more appropo location if desired. Originally posted in banter but some may not read there. Just received an email from the Comet weather site with a new lesson as discussed below. Could be a good read. FWIW

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The COMET Program is pleased to announce the publication of the new lesson, "How Satellite Observations Impact NWP". Satellite observations have played a crucial role in the improvement of data assimilation, analyses, and forecasts by numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. This 90-minute lesson provides meteorologists with an understanding of satellite data, NWP models, data assimilation systems, and how and why satellite data is so important for good NWP model forecasts. The lesson discusses how new satellite observations are vetted for inclusion as observational data suitable for data assimilation and covers how data assimilation uses this data to create an analysis of initial conditions from which to run an NWP forecast. The lesson ends with a discussion of potential future advances in using data from new and planned satellite sensors in data assimilation systems and the expected improvements in NWP forecasts that could result.

The intended audience for this lesson includes operational forecasters unfamiliar with just how significant the use of satellite observations are for creating initial conditions for NWP models and/or those unfamiliar with data assimilation in general. The lesson is well-suited for faculty teaching meteorology students about how satellite observations are vital for high-quality data assimilation system analyses and NWP guidance. Please follow this link to the MetEd description page that provides additional information and a link to begin the lesson: https://www.meted.uc...le.php?id=1016

Had to leave the house early this morning so I didn't have time to post this but around 8:15 this morning had a strong storm roll through that produced heavy rain, lightning, and dime sized hail.  Hail was really coming down for a bit.  Been an interesting spring so far.  Snow last week and now a thunderstorm producing hail.

82.  Dry.  

 

Started to sneeze this morn... inhaled dandelion parachutes -

thought I was gonna die right there.  

 

I'm okay.  Frightening.  <Wondered what the neighbors might be thinking...

... all that hacking, coughing, screaming, begging, crying - broken

Shakespeare "Whoa is Me" stuff as I lie on the ground.

 

After I realized that I was not having a stroke - got back up and lit another cig while finishing my coffee.

 

Nice this morn. One of my better Mornings.

Sitting at 73 currently. Jim maybe it's the cigs and not the pollen making you cough? :)

Don't know 'bout you guys.  But, the prospect of heavy rain is

just as exciting as a forecast for a foot of snow... now.

 

 

 

 

<Just closed the windows (getting cool) after filling a Bissell #7 

with cat hair.

 

I can't be alive... not possible.  Cigs, cat hair, carpet fresh, litter dust?
