It is sad news to see that Brian Matusz died yesterday morning.

Been wanting to ask this question about the new Euro AI model.   Isn't it just the Euro "Next Gen" version?  

Aren't all of the models calculates using AI? Not trying to Nitpick, but I feel that that term is really overused and don't see the difference with a computer model other than some of the inputs and updated calculations.

There are significant differences. At a very high level, AI models are trained on reanalysis data.  It is analog/pattern recognition on steroids.  I think there are some traditional modeling-like guard rails involved, but others that have more knowledge should chime in.  Traditional models are physics-based, solving numerical fluid dynamics equations and then adding in parameterizations for things that can't be realistically calculated (and some tuning for good measure).

Yes I heard...so, so sorry to hear that. I wonder what happened? Smh Praying for his family.

that was funny. How come Randy allows that but not the Greenland Block comment

The fact that a Greenland Block is now a tempting off-topic punchline is hilarious though--there of all places, lol

Some lake effect streamers across NY and into PA this morning. Could be a fun snowy drive

Question for mods. Is their a limit on reactions? I like to "like" comments but don't want to run out of likes lol

Lunch hour headline on wbal…..frigid temps expected for ravens game. 
 

when did we become so soft? It’s an outdoor game in January. This has been happening since the dawn of professional football. I’m pretty sure folks in attendance will survive. End rant.
