Jim Baird Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 I tallied my rain gauge reports this eve and got 11.07 inches in 21 days, not counting the pitter-patter as I write right now??? Here a normal month is four inches in a 48 inch year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Baird Posted July 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Hobby of yours? Marc A few yrs ago I joined a network I have called "weather nerds", who submit to a presentation/lesson on how to use "official" gauge, and buy said gauge ($25), and agree to report periodically. http://www.cocorahs.org/ Network originated in Ft Collins, CO after a serious flood there killed people. Weather scientists decided they needed more data to maybe get better at weather forecasting. They welcome anyone who wants to join. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurt Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 I'm a weather nerd. It's fascinating stuff. A lot of activity swirls around the Great Lakes. I have a particular interest in how city "heat centers" effect 500mb level vorticity. Some of my favorite sites. I like the Unisys site quite a bit. http://weather.unisys.com/satellite/sat ... nv=0&t=cur http://weather.unisys.com/gfsx/gfsx.php ... on=us&t=9p http://weather.unisys.com/gfsx/index.php?r=us http://weather.unisys.com/satellite/sat_sfc_map.gif http://www.glerl.noaa.gov/metdata/chi/ http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/fin ... uery=60601 http://weather.unisys.com/nam/nam.php?p ... &inv=0&t=l http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/marine/zone/ ... /lotmz.htm Third site down, click on "500 mb Plots", then choose "Loop" under the Time category. It provides the clearest picture of vorticity movement across North America. If one wants to understand weather, one must understand 500 mb level weather patterns.

kurt Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 The surface plot is doppler, isobars, temp/RH gradients, and pressure gradients. Everything one needs. The GFS/Avn 500 mb loop is a 5 day projection of vorticity path and pressure gradients. It's fascinating how often the projections are exactly perfect.

Jim Baird Posted July 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 ...5 day projection of vorticity path and pressure gradients... ...that's definitely going into my boilerplate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garet Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 I tallied my rain gauge reports this eve and got 11.07 inches in 21 days Quit hogging it. We don't yet have that much for the year and at the rate things are going we won't for a long time. It's no wonder the west is burning.
