Title: What's your weather currently?
Post by: Desert Man on February 03, 2016, 12:54:07 PM
I been on a number of forums for years have a weather thread, where members post today's weather in their town. Weather and meteorology is one of my expertise subjects, and I came up with this topic: How's your weather? I'm in a cool (yet gets warmer), drier phase for the upcoming weekend when highs are in the 70sF/20sC range.

51 degrees, cloudy and windy. Currently waiting for rain. I'm not sure when winter will come. Only one storm here, so far.  :colorful:

It's been cloudy all week here in Winnipeg, with flurries throughout the day. Temperatures have been -10 C (14F) all week during the day, -15 to -20 at night (5 to -4 F). Pretty seasonal, but that's why people call Winnipeg, Winterpeg.

Same here. What is winter? We have had too many days with mid 40s already at 2 a.m.*, when the normal is just below freezing.

Cloudy and unseasonably spring-like temps at 52° F/11° C.  Though tomorrow we're expected to have snow (I'm hoping it's a dusting - I've a potluck to go to tomorrow night!), which rings true the old New England maxim of "if you don't like the weather, wait a couple of minutes".

It's a bitterly cold 63 F and sunny here. Sure, it probably sounds nice to you other people, but for me, that's just too cold!  :angry:

I cannot express in words how ready I am for it to be summer here. 115 degrees, the hot sunshine on my skin...I can almost feel it.

Just wrapping up a snowstorm in the Greater Boston area - with averages of between five and eight inches depending upon the community.  NWS has also issues a special weather statement warning of a possible black ice hazard during the overnight hours due to the anticipated below freezing temps.

As a interesting sidebar, Boston was one of the first communities to close school for Friday once the winter storm warning was issued.  However, they never declared a snow emergency as well - which seems very odd to me.
Title: Re: What's your weather currently?
Post by: dcbjms on February 05, 2016, 09:57:05 PM
Same here.  It was weird, since I shovelled almost constantly today - earlier the snow was wicked heavy, but towards the end it was that fluffy slow.  We did get quite a bit of snow, though when I shovelled for the last time (after hearing about the black ice warning) I shovelled out a dusting, which was a relief after shovelling an average of 2-3" per time.

Sunny and near 80 around DFW.

Fortunately, a cold front has moved through and the next few days will be warm, but not as warm.

Low's around 40F and highs in the mid 50's here in FL. There was a frost warning last night and a freeze warning a few counties north. We busted out our winter coats and covered the cold-sensitive plants.

8°F here currently and headed for a high of just under 30.  Tomorrow, they're saying single digits with a significant wind chill.  Going to dip into the negatives Saturday night, but they're saying we'll hit 47°F on Tuesday. :D

No, wait, that is the result of the basketball match I've just attended. Now for actual weather: It has been raining all day long. And Winter is finally coming starting Sunday afternoon, maybe even with snow (in my area it snows once a year).

We've cracked -10 in Troy. Wind chill is -33 and the temperature is supposed to fall even further. 45 miles north of me in Queensbury, it's -12 and forecast to hit -20 actual temperature.

Our deck at 10:00 this morning. That sort of path in the foreground was created by a squirrel who was out there when I came downstairs at 7:30. The path is no longer visible as I type this at about 10:35. Not a lot of snow, but it's supposed to turn to sleet and freezing rain this afternoon. No plows yet either, naturally. The snow is deeper around the front of the house and in the driveway due to the direction in which the wind blows.

Right now, 21 degrees Fahrenheit here, feels like 13 degrees, and snow is in 47 minutes, later becomes ice. Minor amount, 2-4 inches. Probably why it's so cloudy.

Sunny for the second day in a row - which is the first time in ages (early December?).

Yesterday had much stronger wind, which was bitingly cold, but today is still cold (reached a high of 40 today - which is a cold high for this part of the world), but doesn't feel bad with just a thick jumper. Still that annoying deception of warmth, due to not being dreary and wet looking, but rather bright and sunny (really bad in the mornings as sunny mornings are cold mornings in winter, but warm the rest of the year), but at least you don't need a windproof coat and some other layers.

I know right?  It's like mother nature is installing a giant blow dryer, except the heated air blowing in is just the air already sitting in the Desert Southwest.  I'll take it!

I haven't heard the term El Nino since January when the eastern US suddenly got cold and stormy with a lot of snow (although some areas of New England are below average), which was the exact opposite of what they kept claiming would happen.

50 degree temps and high winds have scuttled my weekend ice fishing plans on the Madison chain.  Figures; just when I finally get all my gear moved down.
I can't imagine there will be much snow left on the ground by Monday.  Just dirty snowbanks next to parking lots.

El Nino is in full effect for Wisconsin this winter.  El Nino = wussy winters for us and this year has been exactly that.

All quiet on the western front -- that is, in Farmington Hills MI (northwest Detroit suburbs).  An inch or three of snow earlier today, depending on exactly where you were, followed by some rain.  The Wednesday evening rush hour commute wasn't bad at all.  30 degrees and roads are clear around here right now.  But more inches are coming and lots of schools have already announced they will be closed Thursday.

Can't believe I was in shorts and dayhiking through the woods just four days ago.

Connecticut was all sorts of crazy last night. Some towns jumped up 20 degrees in an hour or less. There was an unconfirmed wind gust of hurricane strength in Glastonbury, to the southeast of Hartford. A few other towns reported gusts up to near 60. At least 30,000 people lost their power, including at my mother's place in southern Hartford County.  :-o

I was in Portland, ME and woke up at 4 AM. A thunderstorm with a strong south wind was in progress. The lone rumble I think I heard (I was still half asleep for a bit) was around 3:55 AM.

It's a mix of sun and clouds here in Worcester, MA, along with a stiff wind. I'm stopped at the city's Peter Pan/Greyhound/MBTA bus/train station.

In Seattle, we have meteorological spring.  It's from mid-February through mid-July.  Compared to winter, it's somewhat warmer; the chance of snow inside the city is pretty much nil.  And it's generally damper than winter, with heavy clouds and drizzle most common.

Summer is from about July 15 to October 1, and it's actually pretty nice.  Mostly dry, with enough rain to keep the plants from all dying.  Long, light evenings.  Not super hot.  In all, very nice.  I ask myself sometimes if it's worth the other 9 1/2 months a year though.

Oh, right.  Today.  Light haze and about 55.  Rain expected this afternoon.

Ended up nearly a foot below average for snow but average for precipitation thanks to rain and a big sleet storm for Chicago's winter. Two quick snows this week before a major warmup next week. A prolonged period of 15-25 degree above average temps as a ridge builds into the eastern 2/3 of the country. Could get wet too

After record breaking heat (13 C, 55 F) early in the week (seriously. Winnipeg is that cold), we're back to the seasonal average for temperature (low of 14 F to a high of 32 F in mid March). We got 5 cm of snow last night, covering the brown grass with white snow. All the new snow will melt probably within the next couple weeks as temperatures will probably go up again. Leaves don't come onto trees until early May here.

Makes me want to put away the Easter eggs and baskets and break out the tree, stockings, and some Nat King Cole.

Snowing. Quite a bit. Between yesterday and today, we've had enough bad accidents in eastern New York for an entire winter. The long-overdue I-88 winter pileup occurred yesterday afternoon in Schenevus, there's a 10-car pileup on the Northway in Moreau and a bunch of smaller accidents elsewhere, including a fatal accident on NY 155 in Guilderland and a tour bus crash on NY 28N in Minerva.

Saturday was some of the most bizarre weather I have ever seen.  Towering tall clouds all around, and sunshine here and there, but then every so often, Mother Nature would take 5 minutes to just barf snow down from the heavens.  It was like barfing (meteorologists might call it "downdrafts").  Mother Nature, go home, you drunk.  Oh yeah- and it was 41 degrees AS the snow was falling (Aurora, IL area)

April is really a wild card.  Here in Chicagoland, we had 3 days in a row topping out in the 80s (80-83°F or 27-28°C).  Also in April, we've had three separate days of measurable snowfall.  All within April 1- April 18.

Today it's overcast with a few showers with temperatures in the low to mid 60s (15-17°C).

72 today, 85 tomorrow, 71 Tuesday, and then 60 and rainy on Wednesday.

I plan on walking the entire length of the downtown waterfront tomorrow (where the sounds of cars on the viaduct aren't heard now), so it should be a nice day.

With that massive fire in Alberta, I don't blame you. With the rate at which it's expanding, it very well might become the largest wildfire in recorded history.

That's a bit of a stretch. History's largest fires stem from years when they were allowed to freely burn, and scorched millions of acres. I doubt this would ever reach that magnitude, especially with the cooler temperatures and low winds forecast for the foreseeable future.

I thought the problem now was due to the U.S.' former full suppression policy on wildfires that we've messed with wildfires actually being an integral part of forestry.  Hence, now we have the controlled burns and whatnot to rectify the unnatural overabundance of fuel caused by the former misguided policy.

Reached 27 (81 in German units that the Germans never really used) here, which would be considered 'nice' in summer. We had freezing weather just 10 days ago, with snow and sleet!

Even now at 7pm after it has cooled down to a typical-warm-May-day temperature of 20, we're still currently hotter than Los Angeles (where it is 11am and nearly as hot as it is going to get today). I'm surprised the air isn't full of BBQ smells, but I guess it's caught us by surprise quite how pleasant today was.

It's stopped raining now, but today has been miserable. I don't think it got over 50F all day, and rained heavily most of the afternoon. Great start to my summer break :( (and the schoolkids all have this week off and will probably drive their parents nuts), but yesterday wasn't too bad - often Bank Holidays have horrible weather.

Cold and rainy here. Temperature was going below 20 C (68 F) in the house, so on went the furnace in the house (check your calendar, it's June..)  :angry:
It was on for only a little while though. I don't want to pay that much for gas this time of year!

On the bright side, it completely refilled my rain barrel in the back, so that means free water for me for awhile.

Supposedly it's going to thunderstorm today. May even see some severe ones, and possibly, a tornado or two in the Mid-Atlantic. Well, that's what they are saying anyways, so let's see how spot-on they are with those predictions... I love me a good thunderstorm!

88 degrees F, clear and sunny. Too hot to be comfortable, especially without AC (which many residences here lack).

Went for a nice walk yesterday with some friends and ate dinner at the Columbia Tower Club, some 900 feet above street level.

My house feels like it's about a million degrees. Every house I've ever lived in up until last week has had A/C. My new abode...does not. I am miserable.

My phone was reading 94 F, and my car was reading 96 F. Granted, it was the South Hill weather station, south of Puyallup, which is almost always hotter than Seattle.

I hate when that happens. We very seldom get thunderstorms in the Seattle area, so I always get excited when I hear one might be approaching. Of course, when they then don't arrive, I am left very disappointed.

I actually like the house temperature to be about 25 (77 F) or so during the summer. Anything lower is too cold. I also don't like AC too much either.

Thunderstorms mean tornadoes and severe weather sometimes anyway. Though, I do feel the same as you. We got a short storm yesterday. Some lighting and thunder, and it quickly moved on.

Certainly if you live in the south, or some parts of the Prairies, they can mean bad things. And while we do get tornadoes from time to time around here, they are never more than EF1...they might tear up a barn (http://cliffmass.blogspot.com/2009/09/enumclaw-tornado.html) or knock over some train cars (http://www.kplu.org/post/tornado-knocks-over-rail-cars-uproots-trees-frederickson), but that's it. For the most part, thunderstorms here mean lightning and hail, maybe some short-lived standing water. That's pretty much it (so, in short, I can like thunderstorms without feeling guilty).

Many years ago, a developer wanted to build a drug store at a very busy corner on Rt. 322 in Mullica Hill, NJ,. which is a heavily traveled shore route from PA to NJ 55  They did a traffic study one summer weekend, and presented the results of that study to the township committee.  One very acute person had time to look back, and noted the study was done on a unusually cool summer weekend.  While  similar to the temps you said were nice in Ontario, those temps in NJ would result in people staying home from the shore for the weekend.  The developer, from Florida, tried to claim that it sounded like a good weekend for the beach, which resulted in a roomful of groans (and more).  That very big mis-step may have resulted in the township turning down his project's location!

Thank goodness it did...eventually that location became part of the 322 Bypass thru town.

Saturday I was at an outdoor Coldplay concert in downtown Chicago.
A severe thunderstorm warning was issued, and it was justified by the ensuing heavy downpours and super gusty winds.  That postponed the 7pm concert until 2 hours later.  Then at 10:30, one of the worst deluges I've seen started happening.  Chris Martin was like "it's raining; let me check with the officials...Okay they said to evacuate the stadium; let's play one more song!"  And he didn't care and just started playing it anyways, like a champ.  He was mystified by how all the Chicago people were so cheerful and responsive even though the weather was nuts.  The audience was like "yeah, whatever, another severe thunderstorm" lol.  Driving home soaked still sucked.  The stairs down to the parking garage were a waterfall.
3-4 inches of rain fell in the near north suburbs...downtown chicago got like 1.5"

The weather is incredibly nice here near Fort Worth.  We expect lows in the low to mid 70s and highs in the upper 80s to low 90s for the next week, along with clouds and a chance of rain.  For August, this is miraculously pleasant weather and for much longer a time than we could even hope for.  Normally, hoping for one day of weather like this is at the edge of reason.

After Tropical storm Newton moved east of the CA desert last weekend, high temps were in the 90sf/35c range last week, then went up to 105f/40c over the weekend and now Tropical storm Paine directly hits Baja and southern CA in the next 3 days, so the humidity rate and chance of T-storms goes way up.

High of 87 with partly cloudy skies. Enjoyed the 50s for lows in NW Florida and NW Alabama the last week. The front did clear Tampa while I was gone, setting in a long term dry pattern.

Was looking at the U.S. Drought Map (http://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/) and parts of NE Alabama are now in exceptional drought. Where I was (near Russellville, AL) is also quite dry with moderate drought conditions. Most of the grass in NW Florida, and everywhere I saw throughout Alabama, is brown. Skies were almost cloud free the entire time I was up there and just in the last week Lower Alabama and the FL Panhandle were added to the "abnormally dry" category.

Winnipeg has no snow yet. It officially hasn't fallen yet either, though people have told me they've seen snow falling in local areas for a small amount of time. It's looking like we will enter November without snow, which isn't too bad of a start for a USDA zone 3A climate.

I used my umbrella today.  The snow changed to rain during my commute home (which took an HOUR because people here are too dumb to drive in what counts as a good day in Rochester), as was forecast (though the forecasts had it changing a couple hours earlier; at least I didn't need to use my umbrella and snow brush at the same time).

Crazy warm here today and yesterday. Temps got into the high teens Celsius (or low 60's Fahrenheit). Average high in the city is supposed to be just above freezing (average low is -6 C or 21 F) for this time of the year. The sun was very low and weak as it normally is this far north this time of the year, but it was still out shining.

Gonna stay warm and sunny (though not as warm as today) for the next week, which I'm not complaining about.

Apparently schools were delayed due to a small amount of fluffy snow.  In Rochester, this is what we called "flurries", and it happened every day.  Sometimes I wonder if the people around here could ever survive lake effect snow (that said, ice is more severe over here than in Rochester, but it was below freezing during the entire snowfall, so I don't think that was much of a factor here).

Waaaayy snowier than usual in BC's Lower Mainland this weekend. 10-20 cm in the Coquitlam/Burnaby area. Here's a photo of my father standing in the snow, near the Coquitlam Central SkyTrain station. We clinched the new Evergreen Extension (Bruce) while in the area.

This is the same weather system that dumped a bit of snow in the Seattle area (see Bruce's tweet above), but the area is more exposed to continental arctic air, thus the snow stuck around longer.

It's worth noting that this area is receiving a La Niña winter, which means colder and wetter than normal. The Seattle/Vancouver area is already looking at more snow next week (twice within one week, which is unprecedented for an area this close to water). The Coquitlam/Burnaby/New Westminster area of BC should be seeing highs around -5 C (23 F), which is insanely cold for this area.

Based on the description, they're probably closed already.  Maybe Cuomo went there?  Would explain a few things.

Totally agree.  Weather forecasters have it way too easy, and way too many people simply shrug their shoulders and say "You can't control the weather".  That's true...but there's a whole industry dedicated to predicting that weather.  Many people have their favorite weather forecasters, and are very proactive to giving them the benefit of the doubt and will defend them as much as possible...which I never understood.  They're a TV news spokesperson reading a teleprompter for a few minutes, using information generally provided to them via computers.  Their job is miles easier, and pays better, than anything the defender does.

Gets me even further when weather forecasters continually say forecasts outside of 3 days aren't accurate, yet they're not really providing much proof forecasts within 3 days are accurate either.

Here's another example of media idiocy when it comes to predicting weather.  Snow is forecast for early Saturday morning in Greater Boston.  So, this morning, the weatherman for the local radio station (who works for the station, and is not from AccuWeather, etc.) stated we will get 1 to 3 inches.  Two minutes later, the anchor (who is presumably less expert than the weatherman) stated we will get 3 to 6 inches.

It was 13 down in Puyallup this morning. Definitely one of the coldest mornings around here for some time.

Brrr.  But so pretty.  I wish it would continue to this weekend, but it's not supposed to happen.

There is a very slight chance of a wintry mix just north of us Friday night. Last time (2014?) we had a wintry mix all hwys were closed for 2-3 days until the sun melted the mess.

There has been a Winter Storm Warning for my area. There has been minimal but existing snow so far today. We were let out of school at 12:00 today, as a result of the weather coming in. Today the high is 37 degrees Fahrenheit, and the low is 21 degrees. Tomorrow, the high calls for 28 degrees, and the low 14 degrees. This is in Dalton, Georgia.

Crazy weather in Spain: a ton of snow in the Southeast, which has even shut down freeways. Ironically that area is the driest part of the country. There was snow at sea level in Torrevieja, which has an average January high of 61°F. Meanwhile here no snow, just cold: Yesterday Benasque hit a low of 1°F (however that is at 3,700 feet above the sea level) and my hometown, Huesca, hit a low of 19°F.

At the moment isn't raining, though it had been raining from yesterday morning to half an hour now, with hail sometimes; and has been raining almost the whole week. In Wednesday it even snowed!
There are even some towns completely isolated because the floods on roads (not motorways though) at the moment, some areas of the island are closed to car traffic and the two dams in the island have opened their gates to allow water exit because they're completely full! Look at the video here to see what I'm referring: http://ultimahora.es/sucesos/ultimas/2017/01/21/243508/numerosos-incidentes-mallorca-por-temporal-lluvia.html (http://ultimahora.es/sucesos/ultimas/2017/01/21/243508/numerosos-incidentes-mallorca-por-temporal-lluvia.html)
It's a pity there's been so bad weather, because this week there were local holidays in all the towns and villages of the island: on the 17th because it's Saint Anthony, which is a holiday in all the towns and villages of the island but Palma, the capital; and in the capital, the 20th is a holiday because it's Saint Sebastian, the patron of the city. And, to be worse, the tradition on both festivities is to go barbecuing in the streets and seeing parades with lots of fire and pyrotechnical stuff, so this year our local holidays have been a bit deceiving...

Time for a temperature plunge again here in Winnipeg. After seeing temps near the freezing mark (but still below), temperatures will fall close to -20 C (0 F) or so for the next little while. The sun will come out though, which is nice considering the clouds that have hung around here for the last little while.

Post by: 7/8 on February 04, 2017, 11:46:43 PM
My uncle was telling me how he heard about the lack of sunshine we had in January, and I found this short article online about it:
http://www.570news.com/2017/01/29/january-seeing-less-average-hours-sunlight/ (http://www.570news.com/2017/01/29/january-seeing-less-average-hours-sunlight/)

QuoteIf you feel like you haven't seen the sun in a very long time, you're not wrong.

Waterloo Region saw less sunlight this January than in past years.

The average amount of sunlight in January is 86 hours, or 21 days of sunlight.

However, as of January 29th, we've only had 12 hours of sunlight, or four days with sun.


"The only sun I've seen for us was New Year's Day, which was really nice. The 2nd, in the morning. The 6th and the 15th, which were really nice for the most part, and that's about it,"  says 570's Weather Specialist, John Wilson.

The lack of sunshine is likely due to the mild temperatures we've had over the past few weeks, as cold weather is required in the winter for sunshine.

Milder weather means lower clouds and fog, which we have seen lots of this month.

Good news is, that as we head into February, some sunshine is in the forecast for our region!

Thankfully the last week has been more sunny, because the cloudy days have been a bummer. I'm hoping for more snow too, since I'll be skiing in Ellicottville, NY next weekend.

34F and clear. Should get up to 42 today.

Though a few days ago I was briefly faked out into thinking today was going to be a major snowstorm, as several people on my facebook feed were posting a "Super Bowl Sunday Storm" map graphic from a Toledo news station that showed 6-10 inches predicted for most of Northern Ohio. As it turns out, it was a graphic from 2 years ago that someone had re-shared as a joke.

Ravenna is at about 2" now.  Ravenna gets around the least snow within Seattle.  There's microclimates, more on hills, more closer to Puget Sound where the snow hits land first.

Hills are an issue.  Also consider that we only get snow within the city for a day or two every 2-3 years, so:
Drivers don't get in practice
Cars have on all-season tires and most have 2wd
Only enough snowplows to plow major arterials
Also it's warm, wet snow, not powder.  Expect fun in the morning after the wet snow turns to ice overnight.

Yeah, I was expecting 4 inches. Not this nonsense. Troy DPW is usually really good with this and they can't keep up. If I had to get out, Congress Street has ruts and I could probably make it. Minor streets and and suburban subdivisions aren't so lucky. One of my professors is snowed in and her street hasn't been touched.

I bet that's the same storm that will be affecting us down in the Chicago area tomorrow.  Rain and thunderstorms forecast, giving us a springtime feel.  Up into the mid-60s though (or about 18°C)--late winter warmth usually comes at a price, though--storms.  Gotta convert it for the Canadians!

I believe it was Wednesday, March 1st (a few days ago), that there was both a severe thunderstorm warning and a tornado watch in my area. The winds were pretty high, and the trees were swaying violently. No tornadoes actually touched down, though.

It's sunny today with a high of 8C (47F), which is nice. However, there's also a wind warning currently, with winds of 60 km/h and gust of 100 km/h expected. I saw an advertisement on the outside of a bus fall right off onto the road just a few minutes ago.

We're finally getting some snow in Chicago, enough to break our almost 3 month snow drought (one inch at least). Looking at 3-6 inches, with another 3-6 possibly from lake effect bands on the backside of the system

I don't.  The final report I saw on PennLive (http://www.pennlive.com/news/2017/03/how_much_snow_actually_fell_du.html#incart_most-read_) showed the Harrisburg Int'l Airport reporting 17".

I cannot think of a forum member from the Scranton area though.  (Note that being from VA I am not used to being expected to go to work the day after getting that much snow even with a 3 hour delay.)

Around 4" of snow where I live.  And 19 degrees or so this morning, with highs below freezing.

A nearby marina (one can see from I-295 in Bordentown, NJ) started putting out their docks already...maybe convinced the 70 degree weather we had last week meant spring was here.  Whoops!

We didn't get much snow and had no issues making it to work (and, more importantly, the hockey game) yesterday. Single-digit wind chills today prompted me to break out the polar fleece—lined jeans and ski mask for the first time this winter for the walk across town to the office. Sure felt nice and warm. The "security" guy downstairs didn't like seeing me walk in wearing a ski mask!

There were places in PA that had snow slides or avalanches:  one on PA 147 south of Sunbury, and two on PA 92 near Tunkhannock.  http://www.pennlive.com/news/2017/03/avalanche_in_pa_prompts_travel.html

Funny thing:  watching CBS3 Philly snow coverage yesterday morning, a news truck was filming travelling up the NE Extension I-476, which was pretty obvious to a local roadgeek by the overpasses.  First time was in the 26-31 widening construction zone, and the in-studio news broadcaster said they were on "Sumney Pike" - which doesn't exist.  Nearby, there is a Sumneytown Pike.  Second time, they were further north near the Quakertown exit, and the news broadcasters said they were on the Schuylkill Expwy.  The third time, they got it right.

It snowed Tuesday and I got to work 12-5 instead of 4-10. That's because I went in with my mom, who's a pharmacist at the grocery store we both work at, and she was supposed to be 12-9, and I was supposed to be 4-10, but about 12:30 they said we would close at 5, so I punched in and worked until 5 and then my mom and I both went home.

I believe it was Tuesday, March 14th (a few days ago) that there was a wind advisory. I also remember that that afternoon I was actually updating some posts here on the forum, and when I got up and looked out the window, the clouds looked incredibly dark and eerie. Interestingly, though, nothing actually really happened.

There's a rainfall warning for Southern Ontario.

QuoteHeavy rain is expected. The ground, already near saturation, has little ability to absorb further rainfall. 40-70 mm of rain expected today through Saturday. Rain will spread into Southwestern Ontario this morning and is forecast to persist into Saturday as the weather system responsible stalls over the region. The rain is expected to taper to showers late Saturday or Saturday night. With the ground already saturated, there is the potential for local flooding. For information concerning flooding please consult your local Conservation Authority or Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry District office. ### Localized flooding in low-lying areas is possible. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to ec.cpio-tempetes-ospc-storms.ec@canada.ca or tweet reports using #ONStorm.

The news last night was showing the flooding happening in Quebec, including Montreal and Gatineau. It doesn't sound like the flooding here will be too bad, but then again, they also weren't expecting what they got in Quebec to be as bad as it was, so who knows.

Really warm. It's only in the lower seventies but I'm still going to go out to the garage and dust off the window AC unit. Not to install it–not quite yet, mostly because it'll definitely get cooler again before it becomes perpetually unbearably warm–but to prepare for the annual summer ritual of getting the damn thing in the window.

Most schools have a few rooms with AC, even if the majority of the building is not. These rooms are usually ones that have people working there over the summer, which are often the workplaces of the people in charge of the school. Auditoriums are also usually air conditioned. Does your school have a few air conditioned rooms, or none at all?

I'm stunned that a public facility out east wouldn't have AC. My elementary school in Seattle (max summer temp usually mid 70s, and usually a dry heat), built in the 60s and hardly upgraded since, has AC. I usually take for granted public facilities having some form of AC.

Most schools in New York don't have A/C except in a few areas (auditorium, offices, cafeteria, etc.). The short time you need it during the school year doesn't justify the millions in cost to install it, especially if the school has steam or hot water heat and the district is struggling to pass a budget that funds the arts because funding keeps getting cut. New buildings (1990s or later) have it, but that is the exception.

I know you say you can't spell, but your problem seems to be proofreading (or, a lack thereof). I'm not perfect, mind you. But a quick glance over can avoid a thread taking a "grammar detour" (as has just happened here).

Can't speak for an actual Phoenix resident, but in my experience in places like Vegas (also Desert Southwest), it's a pretty dry heat, so it doesn't feel as hot as you'd think it would. But that's not to say it's not hot. It's still fucking hot. But it's about as hot as it would be in Atlanta if it was 105 and super humid.

Opening the front door kinda feels like opening an oven to check cookies, but the heat isn't quite as extreme of course.

Places like stores are often air conditioned too well, so going outside after being in one for a while gives me the same sensation as stepping into a hot tub on a cold night. In other words, it feels GOOD! (IMO)

The worst part about the heat though is all the constant complaining about how hot it is. I really don't mind our heat.

On my way home from dropping off my friend in Waterloo, it started to rain really hard. It suddently stopped when I reached Ottawa St on the Expressway. When I got home, my parents were surprised when I told them it was pouring up in Waterloo. And sure enough, 10 minutes later, it started pouring at our house :-D

The next 3 days the temperature will hit 120f (Palm Springs-Palm Desert), a heat wave in CA will make things uncomfy for the first day of Summer (Northern hemisphere). El Nino made the normally cool California ocean current warmer, so you have beaches in Orange County closed or be empty all weekend, due to numerous sightings of great white sharks from Hawaii.

As well as in this side of the pond. Summer starts at 4:29 UTC on June 21.

At 8:00 a.m. EDT the temperature was 88. Supposedly a heat wave hit Spain in the last few days, they said Friday and Saturday would be the worst days... but Friday actually was cooler here.

Its supposed to be 110-113F the next couple days where I live in the Californian Central Valley.  The trouble for me is that it is 75-80F in the morning when I do my distance running which is way too quick of a jump from 50-60F to have time to adapt which means I have to run shorter distances.  I'm waiting for having to deal with some sort of heat stroke case at work, I held a class yesterday and we'll see who's listening.  Also I keep telling people to turn the damn AC units up to at least 80F during the day but everyone keeps insisting on 72F which is leading clogs and failures.  Its almost like I didn't live in Phoenix for 13 years and have no clue what I'm talking about.

88 at siesta time? Isn't that just typical Spanish weather this time of year?

The same High Pressure zone is giving me a meltingly hot (buildings aren't designed for it, plus we have the humidity) 84F at 4pm today - a slightly cooler day that the last four. Tomorrow will break 30C (and 33C in London) then thankfully we return to proper British summer weather of about 20C/68F (ie what we have now at 11pm - 100 minutes after dusk*) and cloudy.

*I'm surprised at how dark it is given the date - I've sat outside and been able to just about read at this time of day at this time of year at slightly more southern latitudes (and at these ones), but it's like it's midnight, despite being Nautical Twilight for another half-hour, and Astronomical Twilight until 0058 on the 21st. Of July. It shouldn't be cloudy according to the radar - and I can see a few small ones just about (though no stars, but that might just be a light pollution issue as I rarely see stars unless I go to other parts of town), and the clouds often reflect light from more northern places (and if I look north the sky is slightly lighter). It's most odd. Perhaps it's heat haze - like that which I saw over Oxfordshire while descending down into it this morning, but I'm on the top of a hill and it was clearly only in the Vale.

Temps steady 75-80. We're on the east side of Tropical Storm Cindys' rain shield. If she was of hurricane strength (74+mph sustained winds) the east side has the most severe weather ie highest winds, storm surge, tornados & heaviest rainfall only higher in the actual eyewall. They are expecting winds to 20mph :wow: :-D with up to 8" of rain, our sandy soil soaks it up quickly so flooding isnt a problem here. In the city there will likely be some street flooding b/c of the pavement.

Wind is 13.6 miles per hour, the barometer shows 1016,8 hPa (30.02 inHg) and humidity is 44%, though it's likely to rise too to around 85-90%. A typical summer start!

Seattle's climate has always reminded me of London. Anything in the 90s is unusual. Nights in the 60s and 70s feels very unusual. Record temp right around 100. Pretty much the same. Although I think we have slightly less humidity during dry weather.

It's supposed to be around 90-92 this weekend. No one's losing their minds yet, but it's only a matter of time.

London is slightly hotter than where I am (urban heat island principle, plus it's lower as I'm around 500ft which drops me a further degree, and also means that snow in winter is much more severe) - seems about right.

Looking, Seattle is slightly warmer (record of 103 vs 100.6, average high of 60.3 vs 59.36) and colder (record low of 0 vs 8.2, average low of 45.0 vs 45.38), somewhat sunnier (mean monthly sunshine hours of 2169.7 vs 1632.6), and significantly wetter (152 rain days vs 109.6 and average rain inches 37.49 vs 23.7).

I've just been in perpetual rainfall for the last 24 or so hours. Either it storms, rains normally, or just stays cloudy, and then it rains whenever the hell it wants to. I'm surprised I haven't gotten a flash flood warning in my area yet. It's just a severe thunderstorm warning. Of course, it's all part of some tropical rainstorm, but I'm getting tired of the rain.

Oh, temperature and humidity and stuff? 82oF and 74% humidity.

The 90+ degree heat over the weekend in Seattle proved to be a record-breaker. It broke the record for the 25th of June (93, previously 87 in 2002), and also tied for the hottest June day ever (93).

TWC's 15-day outlook doesn't predict any rain soon. Though that's normal. Seattle summer weather is generally dry, with most of our rain in the form of mountain storms rolling into the lowlands. At least as far as I can remember. kkt or Bruce may want to confirm that.

The home I grew up in had A/C, but my current abode lacks it. A lot of homes in the Seattle area don't have A/C. Which is rather confusing, because every summer, we complain about how hot our houses get, and there are many, many endless weeks of rather warm weather, that heats up buildings to the point where A/C is extremely helpful. What's worse, many new homes don't have A/C. They usually have the ducts to support it, but that's about it.

Hot? Unless it was different 30 miles away, today was actually a pretty nice day (82°), at least after 1 PM. Not the 90s that this area sometimes gets in July.

And you post too often in this thread.
I found it oddly cold that day

Forecast calling for a high of 67 degrees on July 14th.  Ridiculously cold for July, considering Fairbanks, AK is calling for a high of 84 and International Falls, MN is calling for a high of 81.

That's not really all that bad, from a Midwestern point of view.  17 inches of rain overnight, and now we're talking floods.

As for the weather here, southwest of Chicago, it's warm, muggy, and sunny, with a high of 88 and humidity of just 36% (down from the last week).

Post by: english si on July 18, 2017, 06:44:23 PM
Because our thunderstorms happen late in the day and the UK isn't that hot, the water that falls takes a while to be evaporated back into the air, giving a fresh morning and blue skies. Because more of the sun's energy is reaching the ground than if it was cloudy, the water does go back into the air efficiently and often we get round 2 the following evening - but after a sunny day that wasn't muggy in the morning.

However this storm didn't last long, and it's more muggy now than before. It's going to be muggy and cloudy all tomorrow and while chance of rain is low, there are warnings about storms (I doubt we'll get one).

82 degrees with 79% humidity, according to Rainmeter's weather applet. It was supposed to get to 95, but some surprise rain chased some of the heat away.

Seattle's dry streak continues. No measurable rain fell. Several surrounding municipalities had some measurable rainfall, but the airport recorded none. So, officially, we're like 35 days now without rain. And the forecast shows no rain anytime soon.

Which it can be, when doing scientific work. But having zero be a temperature that almost no one ever encounters in their life doesn't prove very useful for everyday activity. Hence why I think Celsius is superior day to day (and why I think it's superior to Fahrenheit as well).

In my experience, Florida is rarely ever thundery all day. Partly cloudy in the morning and mid-day, and then a storm rips through in the late afternoon, followed by a beautiful partly-cloudy sunset.

I'm surprised more people in this area don't invest in a room-sized A/C unit. I have one just for my bedroom so that I can sleep at night. It was only $500. Every summer it's the same fucking story. Apparently, no one around here has A/C because it's never hot enough. Bullshit. It's in the 70s, 80s, and 90s every day for three months every year. It's worth the investment.

Life without an air conditioner is hellish.

I'm surprised more people in this area don't invest in a room-sized A/C unit. I have one just for my bedroom so that I can sleep at night. It was only $500. Every summer it's the same fucking story. Apparently, no one around here has A/C because it's never hot enough. Bullshit. It's in the 70s, 80s, and 90s everday for three months every year. It's worth the investment.

It just wasn't necessary for decades here. Prior to the 2009 heat wave, a lot of towns had never recorded temperatures above 95 degrees. Things have accelerated over the last few years, however, and many new homes come with air conditioning.

My HOA forbid air conditioning until recently due to the strain it would put on our shared electrical grid. And $500 is actually a fair bit to spend on (what was) a few days of discomfort per year.

It is a fact that most homes here still lack AC. A 2013 housing survey (http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/data/as-seattle-sweats-few-air-conditioners-cool-us-down/) showed only 16 percent of occupied units had AC. Since 2010, 25 percent of new apartments (http://www.seattletimes.com/business/real-estate/big-spike-in-apartments-with-a-c-as-seattle-gets-warmer-landlords-launch-arms-race/) have come with AC.

Hot and smoky and humid.  Generally yucky.  Visibility maybe 3/4 mile.

Summer used to be a great time in the Pacific Northwest.  Generally no more than a week or two with highs above 80, generally sunny.  But this year it's been a lot hotter, plus the smoke never seems to go away for long.  Summer is what we look forward to during month after month of thick low clouds and drizzle.

Thick smoke. Raining ashes. Humid weather.

Without the smoke, it would be mid-90s, so I'm thankful...but my lungs aren't.

The weather here is the most beautiful September weather I can ever remember. Feels more like fall. As I type this at 11:40 Sunday morning, it's 67°F and not a cloud in the sky.

God bless vain young women....yesterday at the football game in Charlottesville, the young lady sitting in the row in front of us was wearing a nice low-cut cleavage-baring top that clearly revealed goosebumps everywhere as our side of the stadium fell into late afternoon shadows, but she wouldn't cover up...  :hyper:

A cold front swept thru a couple of days ago & brought us a few days of low humidity & temps 10 degrees below normal. Highs in the low 80s low humidity & very comfortable night temps in upper 50s-low 60s. Open the windows & turn off the ac for the 1st time since March loving it.

Irma wasn't suppose to affect our weather at all but with each new forecast her winds are predicted to get closer & closer. If the forecast proves correct we will have winds up to 50mph with heavy rain & thunderstorms but we are getting off easy compared to what the folks in the peninsula are dealing with.

With me living in Dalton, Georgia, which the effects of Hurricane Irma are creeping into, here we currently have both a Tropical Storm Warning and a Flash Flood Watch. Lots of wind and rain is headed our way, with some already creeping in. We may be expecting wind gusts of over 40 MPH.

As a result of the weather here, school has been closed both Monday and Tuesday of this week.

I am on the extreme edge of Tropical Storm Jose (it's no longer a hurricane). Winds are noticeable, and it is lightly raining. This wouldn't be recognizable as the edge of a hurricane just by going outside and measuring rain and wind, though.

The "rainy" response by Roadgeekteen is also caused by being on the extreme edge of Jose. (Well, the rain is. The response might not be.)

Orange and windy as the eye of ex-Hurricane Ophelia passes about 250 miles west of here bringing a load of Saharan Dust.

This was the Shipping Forecast yesterday for Fastnet - note that word for the state of the sea!
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DMPQgkSW0AAo-_O.jpg)
The offshore lighthouse that names that part of the sea measured a gust of 119mph earlier, and sustained winds were 88mph average - while the official channels refer to it as ex-hurricane, it is very much hurricane force winds (albeit only cat 1) in a cyclone from the tropics - it seems hurricane.

Ireland is responding to being holed up at home by drinking and cracking jokes.

Funnily enough it is the 30th anniversary of "The Great Storm" today, an extra-tropical cyclone that pummeled southern England with even stronger winds than Ophelia, catching it by surprise as the tracking was bad (and the BBC forecaster terribly misleading - so much so that he hasn't lived it down, and the audio of the 'bad' forecast played at the Olympic Opening Ceremony).

There were/are wildfires in Portugal that contributed - ie about a 1000 miles away!

We do have wildfires, but they weren't even seen as a serious threat until 2012 after several bad ones in 2011 (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13277476). Britain mostly deforested itself and so there's not vast expanses of woodland (though there are many ancient woods) save for those created more recently for forestry industry. All large wooded areas are fairly intensely managed. Certainly, near London, there is very little.

Things like Epping Forest and the New Forest, and other former-Royal hunting forests (Sherwood, though that's mostly been changed again) are mixed - some wooded areas, but broken up. Grazing is a key role for much of the English countryside, and sheep (and ponies in this New Forest example here (https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@50.8713897,-1.5673513,3a,72.9y,129.15h,91.98t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1sAF1QipORRQ5P15cJVMrI85AJc7JPFVrqQwXSzO_mk0f8!2e10!3e11!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipORRQ5P15cJVMrI85AJc7JPFVrqQwXSzO_mk0f8%3Dw203-h100-k-no-pi0-ya313.1388-ro-0-fo100!7i5376!8i2688)) aren't want to leave anything above a fine tooth comb, so one has to work against them to make copses - fences and the like, until the saplings become big enough to not get eaten.
QuoteIs the storm dropping a bit of sand, or is it mostly staying in the air?
It didn't drop it - here at least - it didn't even rain. I think the particles were very fine anyway, so it would be hard to notice anything other than a big drop.

Storm Brian (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017%E2%80%9418_UK_and_Ireland_windstorm_season#Storm_Brian) (the second extratropical cyclone of the UK/Ireland winter storm season that ex-Hurricane Orphelia has dominated) have given today several short sharp showers, windy throughout and cloud-cover changing repeatedly.

Time to get my outdoor projects started, it'll be great to work outside & be comfortable.

Miserable Saturday in Western Washington. 1-3" of rain in parts (a lot for us -- rained nonstop from morning through early this morning), and in the mid-50s pretty much the whole day (even at night). It was windy a few days before, so a lot of drains were blocked up and there was plenty of localised flooding. Some rivers are also about to burst their banks.

Today has been good (some showers but overall dry). Forecast looks good too. At least no persistent flooding rains ahead (just showers).

In a stretch of some seriously nice weather in SEA right now. Upper 60s to near 70 tomorrow, and sunny. Halloween looks sunny for the first time in probably five years. It usually rains (my Halloween's growing up always sucked because of this). The weatherman says that it'll be the first dry Halloween for a decade, but I remember it being dry more recent than that (and also very cold -- well below freezing, which is unusual for October, even in the Seattle foothills where I grew up).

Apparently Central California is getting the first sizeable rain of the fall/winter season.  I might be in the minority on this but I really hope it isn't anything like last year when a lot of the roads got taken out in mudslides from heavy rain volumes in mountainous areas.  CA 1 and 35 are still jacked up, many others that almost never have problems like 198 and 245 also had slide closures.

It won't be very autumn-like for the next week or so. Low 80s and high 70s, peppered with rain here and there. After that it'll be mid 50s-low 60s and quite a bit of wind, drizzle, and persistent cloud cover.

It's 43 degrees now, so I checked if it was really 75 eleven hours ago and thirty miles away.

It was nowhere near 75 when you posted that, even though the high that day was likely 75.

75 degrees at 10 PM in Massachusetts in November (which didn't happen) would be unusual, but just posting two digits without clarification every few posts is pointless.

That sounds truly intriguing. I have never seen or heard of such a thing, but weather can do many things, so I'll say I'm not surprised that it can occur (albeit rarely). I actually just started tuning into The Weather Channel right at this moment, and it seemed like I barely missed some sort of something that it was saying or showing about thundersnow (as I saw the last 2 or 3 seconds of it).

It is. You need a very heavy snowfall rate for the ice crystals to charge up enough to cause lightning. The Groundhogs Day Blizzard in Chicagoland was the textbook case for thundersnow. In fact I had nickel size hail embedded in the snow during that storm! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJt4nV6hM1Y (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJt4nV6hM1Y)

Yes, thundersnow is fairly rare, though it tends to be more common with heavier lake effect snow bands coming off the Great Lakes, especially if there's a large temperature difference between the lake's surface water and air in the lower levels (up to ~5,000ft in height).  The aforementioned Chicago blizzard in 2011 was an example of this....while part of a larger storm system, the predominantly northeasterly winds meant that Chicago's snow was lake-effect in nature.

Besides what ET21 wrote (and you don't necessarily need a "very heavy snowfall rate" either...mine happened with moderate snowfall rates), you need a layer of instability above the surface and pretty steep lapse rates (the rate at which temperature cools as you go up in altitude).  The latter is what can help influence thunder/lightning with lake-effect snow bands.

The next 15 days (up to November 29) are surprisingly consistent. Highs range from 38 to 51; nothing below or even near freezing, and nothing unusually high.

I'm not sure how common 15 days without an outlier is, but it seems unusual to me.

And Roadgeekteen, you don't need to post anything in the range 38-51 for the next 15 days; only unusual ones should be reported.

For the usual stuff, like where rain will fall and for what part of the day, more than three to five days is indeed pretty useless. But beyond that, long-range models can predict whether or not a metro area has a chance of seeing X-type of weather more than a week out. Locally, KING and KOMO can see a snow-storm coming "for Western Washington" more than a week out, but specific details don't come until later.

Record high temperatures expected tomorrow. My area of Seattle is expected to reach 66. Seattle itself should see around 60. This is due to a storm that originated southeast of Hawaii. Very warm waters. The tropical system is bringing lots of rain with it. Or should I say, did. Today sucked...just rained all day. Tomorrow should be warmer and drier. Should be a nice change.

Sounds like beach weather.  Around Chicagoland, it's supposed to be a high of 43, coming up from a low of 29 in the morning.  It was only in the low 20s this morning.  Friday should be a heat wave in the low 50s.  :biggrin:

Currently 1 C (33 F) and snowing in Ironwood, MI (on the Wisconsin border). It was overcast in the eastern U.P., raining across the middle of the U.P., then quickly turned to snow in the western U.P. Here's a photo of driving through Ontonagon County on M-28.

For the roadgeeky here, this is why we need No Passing Zone pennants, Do Not Pass signs, and Pass With Care signs.  Striping is worthless until April.

Sunny outside and 57°, but it's windy (NW 18 mph). Not a cold wind yet, but it's picking up–supposed to go down to 29° tonight.

Michigan is great at signing these, but Ontario almost never signs no passing zones. I agree that it's a great idea. Even in the summer, the pennants are nice and easy to see.

As for weather, it's currently -2 C (28 F) in Guelph.

Almost as cold, but the Upper Peninsula sees a lot more snow.  Houghton and Hancock, for example, see an average of 210 inches of the white stuff every year.  One season, I was up there for college, they got over 320 inches from October through May, inclusive.

It was around 50, slightly breezy and "nice" where you were on Black Friday (according to your post). I don't see why Chicagoans were so much luckier. It wasn't that much warmer.

Does a temperature alone really count as "weather"? If someone asked me what the weather was outside, I wouldn't say "45", I'd say "rainy and chilly" (or whatever). If someone asked me what the temperature was, that'd be a different story.

There is another member who posts in this thread almost every day, but he gives very little information; sometimes he just gives a 2-digit number referring to the temperature. Most other people only post unusual events.

Every day may be a bit too often, but going into detail is preferred, compared to giving a bare minimum.

I am eagerly anticipating Friday, because the high is 43 and the low is 31, and it'll be rainy throughout the day. I get out of school (although I won't escape the work) and I get to enjoy my favorite weather. Today is mild. Mid sixties for a high and mid forties for a low.

Understood, and considering the next week will be 45, east wind, and sunny, its probably wise for me to wait until the weather gets a little more interesting. When it does get interesting, I'll try to post it in more detail. Again, I have a habit of speaking too technically in this subject.

I was worried about that when I clipped that part of the quote, but I couldn't quite figure out how you could respond "yes" to something that wasn't a question :-D (so I just assumed you were responding to the first sentence).

That said, this is a forum. So one-word responses such as "YES" or "THIS" aren't uncommon ways to agree with someone, and I should know better.

Agreed although where I live, I have a wind and air stagnation advisory in affect. I live right on the border of the two so I'm affected by both.

Sounds like a typical Pacific Northwest winter day. Although not today! Not a cloud in the sky here. Forecast for the next few days suggests sun but cold temps. Sun+warmth is not a thing in the winter here.

Agreed although where I live, I have a wind and air stagnation advisory in affect. I live right on the border of the two so I'm affected by both.

They have been talking about implementing an air stagnation advisory in my area as well, but nothing just yet. Plenty of fog in the a.m. though.

I think Portland and Boston made a deal to swap weather patterns for a week.

I think the whole Northwest switched weather with Boston.

Perfectly clear, cloudless, clear air.  Cold at night, frost on the ground where it's open to the sky and lots on bridges.  Comfy in the sun at midday.

I was way out south earlier today. Many of the reservoirs/small bodies of water had a thin layer of ice on them. And that was at noon!

NW Indiana has it's first big traffic nightmare of the winter season. Multiple slide-offs on 80/90 in the snowbelt area due to ice. Didn't snow crazy, but just enough to mess up traffic in the area. Many truck shipments I track at work are in that mess  :ded:

It's been in the high 20s/low 30s this week in the morning here in Central California.  It's been kind of a retro week where I've had to break out my old winter running gear.  Strange having to dodge wet looking surfaces in the dark again, I'm not surprised people are dumb enough to run their sprinklers.

To be honest, if it was very detailed weather data every time, then that would be mighty fine - but the problem arises when this thread gets clouded with posts that only contain things such as "41," "52," "45," "colder," "warmer," all within one day of eachother.

It's supposed to be hopping around between rain, clouds, sleet, and a wintry mix today. It's expected that we'll get a bit of wintry mix in the morning tomorrow, finished off with some late morning flurries.

I've been outside today multiple times and the rain at 35 degrees doesn't feel very good with an unzipped light jacket.

It's snowing in Atlanta today! Like, actually in Atlanta itself, not just the far northern suburbs like usual. Snow happens in town here maybe once a year if we're lucky. Snow this early in the season is even rarer; this is either the second or third time I've seen it happen here in December in my memory.

Today (Saturday, December 9th), we have been under a winter storm warning in the Boston area since 4 am.  Started snowing about two hours ago, now have just over an inch in Wakefield (north of Boston).  Storm expected to intensify this afternoon, predicting a total of 4 to 7 inches before it ends early Sunday.

Settled in here for the duration - have fired up the scanners to monitor MassDOT and Mass State Police.

We ended up with about 1.5 inches here, per my measurement this morning. Some of the western and northern suburbs saw enormous totals in the 6-10 inch range. General consensus is that it's the most snow we've seen here since 1993.

A lot of people in my school are talking about it snowing next Friday here even though not a single forecast ensemble model for now shows snow for the next 10 days. I just write them off as idiots or people that want a day less of school and any excuse to get it.

Dang. I remember when the snow disaster of Winter 2014 happened in Atlanta (and there was some here in Dalton, too, and my mother's car was having trouble driving on the road back home after picking me and my brother up from school, and other cars near us had the same problem), when so many vehicles were trapped on the roads, some students had to spend the night in schools, and there was even a baby born on Interstate 285. That was definitely a pretty crazy situation.

Yep. Fortunately it wasn't nearly as bad this time, despite there actually being more snow. For one thing, there wasn't as much sleet/freezing rain (which was the real source of the problem in 2014), and the road temperatures started out much warmer, so little if anything was actually sticking to the roads until after everyone was already home for the night.

Some areas, mostly to the northwest, have been dealing with prolonged power outages thanks to trees falling onto power lines under the weight of the snow. Not generally an issue where I am, as all the power lines within a few blocks of me are underground.

Thursday's low is supposed to be 37 degrees, and there is "a chance for ice," I sense a marketing tactic and more hopefull school kids wanting an extra day of break.
Title: Re: What's your weather currently?
Post by: kkt on December 11, 2017, 12:16:42 PM
37 degrees could include a chance of ice.  The temperature is probably measured at the airport, five feet off the ground.  In a spot with colder exposure where no sun hits the ground through the whole day it could freeze.  Say, a bridge across a valley that's north or east facing.

Dunno about Oregon, but here every snow day taken in winter gets made up by having school another day into the summer.  A cold, dark winter day off traded for a nice June day seems like a fool's trade to me.

Today's fog kept me from landing on-time. We circled around SeaTac four times before diverting to PDX due to low fuel. So annoying when all you can see is blue sky, and this tiny patch of fog sitting over the airport. Our sunny days can be so bittersweet.

We sat at a gate for about an hour and a half, while we refueled and waited for the fog to clear. They eventually flew us back to Seattle. My itinerary for yesterday was PDX>SJC>SEA>PDX>SEA. Should have been three hours flying...turned into eight! :spin: I never fly anything except non-stop (almost always Alaska), so my first time flying Southwest was less than impressive, since a non-stop flight at 0600 MST would have beaten the fog. Not Southwest's fault there was fog (obviously), but longer days expose you to more variable weather, so I prefer the quickest journey possible.

Well, after 2 weeks of dry weather (2nd longest for the month), we finally got some rain today. Thankfully it stayed until after my morning race. :bigass:   This will be like this for a few days until back to dry weather, another update then as models are currently uncertain 10 days out if there will be an arctic blast here or not.

Just in: Models are more certain of an attic blast to the Portland area:
December 26 high (mean ensemble): 27
Ensemble mean on snow on January 1: 2 inches deep (although not confident based on wide spread here)
Chance of snow this coming Friday is increasing. The Euro model has a half an inch falling that day although the GFS still has none.

Until then: just wet and/or cloudy.

We shall see.

Also seeing a change of forecast up here. Now, Tacoma may see 1-3 inches of snow, depending on the elevation, from Sunday night into Monday. Tomorrow morning should be dry, with the precip arriving later in the day, initially in the form of freezing rain or rain, before transitioning to snow.

Up in Vancouver, the chances of a White Christmas seem quite certain. It's very cold. The question is not whether it will snow or rain, but whether or not precipitation will arrive. Most of the American forecasts suggest no precip at all, whereas TWN and the CBC are predicting snow (just not a bunch, but cold enough for it to stick around through Christmas Day).

The NWS panicked when they upped the totals to 6-8".  We got 2 1/2"  of snow.  Just enough to make it festive but not enough to make it a nightmare to remove.  They really need to divide Hartford County in half; Hartland and Granby on the MA border could be forecast to get a foot of snow, while places in the New Britain/Bristol/Southington area 40 miles away could be forecast to get rain, and the whole county goes under a winter storm warning.

I can't even fathom most of those numbers. 7°F is the absolute lowest I've ever seen in person.

We didn't have a white Christmas in Atlanta (no surprise, it's happened like 3 times in the last century), but it was quite cold, with temperatures holding in the mid-30s all day (a "normal" high being in the low 50s).

They're calling for a chance of the dreaded wintry mix tomorrow morning, followed by more cold for the rest of the week, and I'm keeping on eye on the possibility of snow on New Year's Eve.

First snow last night dumped about an inch, second round is on the way today with another 2-4 inches. Then back into the deep freeze for New Years. There's hints of a possible blockage in the upper air pattern on long range forecasts that could prevent the arctic air from retreating much, hopefully that does not come true. Chiberia lives!

Just looked at the forecast for Chicago. Does it normally get below freezing for 2+ weeks during the winter? I understand that Chicago is prone to well-below-freezing temperatures, but for that long seems unusual.

FWIW, I'd take that over 40 and rain, which is what I'm getting plenty of in Seattle.

W'ere running about 15-20 degrees below normal. We normally see about one of these outbreaks per year, but to have two back to back arctic punches is unusual. Plus this new wave is under an abnormally strong high pressure (1052 mb forecasted!). Jan and Feb are our coldest months, so to have this in December is a bit extreme.

Here in the NW FL panhandle we're going into the deep freeze!
Our high temp today (12/30)was 61°, we will not see 61° again for 9 days :wow:.
Our overnight lows will range 20°-29°. Our aver Jan temps are 62°-37°.

Every yr we have cold temps but usually only for a few days & then it warms up again. IIRC this is the same weather situation that brought us an ice storm in 2014. The setup for that was rain before the cold then the cold moved in before the rain moved out=ice. The roads were closed for 3 days in 2014. Neighboring Escambia County, Pensacola, FL bought a couple of sand trucks for"next time".. I've lived here 37 yrs & thats the 1st ice storm to shut everything down, at least they'll be ready in for the storm of 2091 :-D

First snow last night dumped about an inch, second round is on the way today with another 2-4 inches. Then back into the deep freeze for New Years. There's hints of a possible blockage in the upper air pattern on long range forecasts that could prevent the arctic air from retreating much, hopefully that does not come true. Chiberia lives!

Just looked at the forecast for Chicago. Does it normally get below freezing for 2+ weeks during the winter? I understand that Chicago is prone to well-below-freezing temperatures, but for that long seems unusual.

FWIW, I'd take that over 40 and rain, which is what I'm getting plenty of in Seattle.

I know it's 2 days later, but then again, that doesn't change anything with this long of a cold spell!  It definitely is unusual for cold snaps of this severity to last this long.  We're in the middle of an 11-day streak of temperatures that don't increase above 15 degrees.  Very abrupt when the highs didn't dip below freezing at all until Christmas Eve.  Winter's intensity arrived in a matter that was super sudden for us in Chicagoland.  Our high tomorrow isn't supposed to get above 1 degree F.  What the hell, we had really mild winters the past 2 years!

It's cloudy and 26°F here at 1:30 in the afternoon, which is simply unnatural. I'm not sure what the record coldest high temperature is for New Year's Day, but the forecast high of 30 has to be a contender. The average high this time of year is about 51, but we're not projected to get above 40 until Sunday.

W'ere running about 15-20 degrees below normal. We normally see about one of these outbreaks per year, but to have two back to back arctic punches is unusual. Plus this new wave is under an abnormally strong high pressure (1052 mb forecasted!). Jan and Feb are our coldest months, so to have this in December is a bit extreme.

Just checked the forecast for Chicago again. I'm seeing exactly one day for the next two weeks where it's predicted to get above freezing: 7 January, with a high of 33! :-D

I can see why below-freezing temps might get annoying after weeks of it, but it still doesn't sound too bad to me, especially if it isn't snowing every day.

Very rare. The C&O Canal is safe far more often than the river due to its much smaller size and the lack of stronger currents. It's pretty common for there to be some amount of ice in the river at various times during the winter, but it's been years since the ice was solid and thick enough to be safe for skating. I know it was safe in January 1977 because of photos I've seen (I was three years old and so I don't remember), but I can't say I recall it having been safe since then.




I think I need to dig out my ski mask for Friday.

We only got a bit of snow, but it's getting windy. It's trash day, too. Bad combination. I had to clean up someone else's stuff that blew into our yard. Since the box had an address on it, I piled it all back up in front of his garage door. Failing to secure your trash so it doesn't blow all over the place is damn obnoxious, and in his case he put it out Monday (when there was no pickup due to the holiday) and left it there all week, so it's that much more annoying.

This'll be our first chance to see how the AWD system in my wife's new car feels on a snow-covered street.

Can't say I noticed any difference between AWD and FWD today, but then we didn't get a huge amount of snow. The AWD lets you "drift" around the corner in the snow just like the FWD if you hit the accelerator partway through the turn....

I wondered about that. To me, I'd have to see it to believe it, though it certainly wouldn't be with my vehicle!

I've been out on frozen lakes before, but never inside a vehicle. Back in high school, my friends used to joke about bringing their fancy trucks out onto frozen lakes in late Jaunary/early February and using the OnStar (is that still a thing?) feature, just to hear the confusion of the operator!

It's around 40 degrees with some light rain. This is notable only because the majority of metro Atlanta schools are closed due to a fear that there would be some freezing rain this morning (didn't happen, it was slightly too warm).

The rest of this week should finally feature some more normal January weather for around here with highs in the 50s (and even unseasonably warm mornings in the 40s and 50s thanks to lots of cloud cover and some more rain toward the end of the week).

Not enough to walk on, certainly (note the area with no ice out towards the middle there).

Global warming is global, not regional. 1934 was the hottest year in the United States (excluding Alaska) until the record was broken in 1998. However, 1934 was no different from its surrounding years worldwide.

Nova Scotia....right now where I am its 16C or 60F and heavy rain forecast. (but we might get somew snow next week)

We had delayed our Office Christmas Party until tomorrow for a Family Day at the local ski hill.....now little chance of that! Might even be too warm to sit around the fire place in the lodge!

68°F outside and very humid. Good thing the sun's not out or it would be a total steambath. As it is, there was a fair amount of fog this morning. But by Sunday morning the windchills are supposed to be back down in the single digits.

Upper 50s here in Atlanta, but mid-30s in Chattanooga right now. That, of course, is because there's a cold front on its way, apparently roughly along the US 411 corridor at the moment. After our midnight high of 61 this morning, we'll be in the mid-20s by sunrise tomorrow with maybe some isolated flurries. Another cold weekend and cold week ahead, possibly failing to get above freezing by Wednesday.

Ah yes. Being just a little bit north of you, here in Dalton, GA, I have seen the forecasts for some much colder weather moving in later tonight. I believe it was 50s here at the beginning of the day, IIRC. I do wonder if there will be any snow, even if barely anything.

21F and snowing. Currently about 2" of snow down, but hard to tell due to drifting.

Started off raining today, then had about 10 minutes of sleet before changing over to all snow a little after noon.

New Britain, CT at 11:20 PM Eastern: 55 degrees, dew point of 54, with a Flood Warning up for Hartford County. It reached about 59 degrees this afternoon. Supposed to slam down to about 4 degrees by Monday morning. Bradley International Airport (BDL) in Windsor Locks, CT was -9 degrees already this past Sunday morning. A good deal of the snow which fell last Thursday here is now gone. Quite a bit of convection fog last night and this morning.

Yesterday Dulles Airport hit a high of 70°, tying a record for that date (set last year). Five days earlier, Dulles Airport hit a low of —1°. What a weird week. I was off work yesterday and I was wearing shorts and a short-sleeved shirt around the house. As I type this, it's 34° outside (don't know what the wind chill is, but I was moving heavy stuff around so I didn't want a warm coat and I wore a fleece vest instead).

It was actually pretty sunny in Seattle today. The temperature gauge in my car, which is admittedly not always super accurate, was reading 61. Usually only gets that warm when there's a storm coming up from Hawaii (Pineapple Express).

My temperature was 59 at my weather station which is 13 degrees above average. Possibly a record high but need to check.
Also: Models have a snowstorm a week from Friday but it is inaccurate that far out but can happen from time to time.

So from shorts and short sleeves Friday to a 6° windchill as of 9:30 this morning (though it didn't feel that cold when I went outside to bring in the newspaper). How weird.

—6°F with a wind chill worthy of a NWS Wind Chill Advisory (Story County, the adjacent county to the north, is part of the Warning area), and it's somehow, on top of that, flurrying. I thought it was too cold for that...

Mid-40s now, but soon to be falling fast. Another front rolling through, expected to bring a small amount of snow tonight (probably around an inch), but whatever does fall will probably stick around tomorrow with a "high" temperature in the upper 20s. Wind Chill Advisory to take effect at 9pm tonight for expected wind chills near zero.

Cold.  The DFW area is under a hard freeze warning.  The local NWS office issues that warning when temperatures below 10 are forecast.  Forecast lows in Dallas and Fort Worth are 11, in Waco is 9, and the coldest point forecast I found in the Fort Worth office region calls for a low of 2 in western part of the Red River valley.  The forecast for DFW Airport is the lowest in over 20 years (11 tonight, the last colder was 8 in 1996).

Similar stuff is going down here in northwest Georgia.

I believe our forecast called for some 15-25 MPH wind gusts tomorrow, a windchill close to 0 degrees, and highs never getting past the upper-20s or so. As a result of all this, I had no school today, and I have no school tomorrow.

Enjoyed a day off from school and took a walk in the snowy weather, which was nice. I took a few photos. The roads are supposed to freeze and stay frozen tonight and in the morning and it won't go above freezing till noon, so it's likely I won't have school tomorrow as well.

Nice! Always cool to get some beautiful photos of the snow and such. I've actually gone to the hill at the top of my neighborhood in the past (walking, no vehicles were on the road for obvious reasons) and got pictures of the roads traversing downward with the snow on them, and the mountains in the distance covered with snow. Also, my school has been delayed a little bit tomorrow morning, so that is cool.

Honestly, I know you guys are in the south, but I cannot believe all the school cancellations. We've had a foot in a single night before and still had school the next day. In fact, I don't ever remember closing* for less than a foot (unless temps fall below -25 with wind chill, which is an insta-cancel).

Y'all have plows. We don't, for the most part. Probably the majority of the roads around here that aren't state highways are still very much not recommended for use after last night's snowfall, which was about an inch. Very little of that melted today; it was sunny, but windy with a high around 25. The wind chill was 4 when I attempted to go outside to grab lunch (I say "attempted" because all my local takeout places were closed). And yes, schools were closed today and will be again tomorrow.

This. I don't really think it's worth it for Southern DOTs to spend tons of money on snow equipment, like massive amounts of salt, *extensive* fleets of plows, etc, and Southern residents to spend money on snow tires, chains, and all the other snow stuff, for something that happens at most two times a year. We've only got a little of that. As a result, the roads will remain slick and icy for a day or two, which means school will be closed, things like buses full of kids on all that ice poses a real safety risk.

Portland is also like the South except the people here don't know how to drive in it. If there is an ice threat, school closed.

Well, this got interesting...
Quote from: Portland National Weather ServiceThe core of cold air aloft associated with this system will move
onshore this afternoon and evening. The 00z/06z GFS convective
indices and NAM Bufr soundings show marginal instability moving
inland as 500 mb temps fall to -32 to -34 deg C. Past experience
suggests this may be a bit overdone, but even -30 to -32 deg C would
be enough to produce some weak instability with surface temperatures
in the upper 40s. Decided to add the mention of thunder inland this
afternoon and evening as a result. With freezing levels lowering, any
heavy showers or thunderstorms have the potential to produce small
hail; we have already had spotter reports of BB to pea sized hail
from the thunderstorms along the coast early this morning. If enough
sunbreaks occur to trigger strong updrafts at the surface, the
low-level shear profile appears favorable for some longevity to any
cells that develop, and a couple stronger cells with slightly larger
hail, gusty winds, and perhaps even a funnel cloud cannot be ruled
out today. Convective allowing guidance seems to suggest at least
isolated convection is likely this afternoon in the Willamette
Valley.

Not quite that warm today, and there's a front coming in bringing rain and maybe a few storms this evening.

47 degrees isn't the weather. That's the temperature. "Weather" encompasses many things beyond temperature, such as how dry or wet it is, if it's windy, etc.

The original post describes both temp and precip. I would assume that this is the baseline for a response, as it would be in real life:

"What's the weather, John?" "64 and raining, Mary."




Seattle is entering a dry streak. No rain in the forecast for at least four days (and Thursday looks to be mostly dry with a passing AM shower). Temps relatively steady in the low- to mid-50s. Beyond Thursday, I don't see any rain in the forecast. I'll take it! Especially after a very rainy January.

The missing rain in Seattle has, I believe, found a home in Atlanta. We got something like 1.5 inches yesterday (mixed with some sleet/ice in the far northern suburbs), with thunderstorms in the forecast all day on Wednesday, and a likely complete washout for the coming weekend. It'll be fairly mild, though, with highs around 60 for most of the week.

We're dry today, though. Sunny and 39 right now, with a forecast high near 50.

This is an odd thread. What's the weather right now? It'll be a never ending conversation.

Definitely an endless thread. But to take the question literally, one's response would have to include more than just a single aspect of the definition of weather (posted above by Hurricane Rex -- thanks mate). In my opinion, that would mean including at least the temperature, and the amount of precip (or lack thereof) now and forecasted, since those were the two things mentioned in the OP.

Cloudy and 62 this afternoon. The rain is gone, but we still may not see the sun until around Saturday. Tomorrow will be colder, only in the 40s, but what the rest of the week lacks in blue skies it'll make up for on the thermometer with highs climbing into the 60s and perhaps even into the 70s(!) on Thursday, which would likely be a record high if it pans out.

New Orleans, Louisiana.  Yesterday, it hit 82 degrees.  Today, it didn't top 53 degrees.  Neither temperature is unusual for New Orleans in mid February.  The swing is a bit annoying though.

Cloudy for the last week. Cloudy today. Cloudy for the next week. :sleep:

At least it's warm, I guess. 63 today after a high of 70, and we may not even drop below 60 tonight, which sounds more like May than February. Light rain might be coming back for the weekend.

We were predicted to be in the 3"-5" band of snow, maybe 6" tops. But in the end I'm measuring a solid 9" on my deck, and that's on the north side of the house when the snow was coming from the south. More like 10" from a quick front yard measurement.

It's actually been a rather nicer weekend than I was expecting. Yesterday turned out to be partly cloudy, breezy, and very warm — 77 at the airport, a new record high.

Sunny and 47 now. Clouds will be building back in, which should hold us down in the 60s today, with a chance for a few showers around sunset. Then a warm week ahead, with a long stretch of 70s in the extended forecast.

Is that normal for your area at this time of year? (I don't know whether you live in a high elevation area or not.)




Tomorrow is a record high of 70°, beating the previous record of 62°. (It was an easily beatable record; if it was up to 2 days earlier or one later, it would only be about a 4-5° difference instead of 8°, and if it was 2 days later, it would not be a record at all.)

It kind of is for this far into to February but usually happens a couple times in the winter in Fresno which is a little 200 feet above sea level.  What isn't all that normal is the chance of snow we have Thursday night into Friday morning.  If the forecast gets closer to the actual day I might get up early or stay up late to see it.  I had it snow on me twice in Phoenix so why couldn't it snow here when I have a wall of rock to the east that literally translates into "Snowy Mountains" in English?

Living the wedge life in Atlanta yesterday and today, meaning greater cloud cover and lower temperatures roughly along the I-85 corridor northeast out of the city while the rest of the area is sunny and warmer. Fog stuck around in the city today until nearly lunchtime before some blue sky started peeking through; thanks to a very warm start, that still allowed temperatures to make their way up to 75.

Some rain likely to come through tonight into tomorrow morning, then clearing out. Staying warm, with highs in the mid-to-upper 70s through Saturday.

Rain tomorrow, to be joined by wind Thursday. Wind sticks around for Friday, but then it looks like we may get to see multiple days of sunshine for the first time in about three weeks, with fairly normal early-March temperatures (low 40s/low 60s).

About a high of 55 F.  Rained a pretty decent amount this morning but nothing that stopped me from going outside to run.  Apparently we're getting a nasty storm with .75 inches of rain on Thursday, good thing I'm buying new tires.

We like snow here, and it would be great if this actually happens.  At Lake Tahoe (6229') it would easily double the snow we've had all season so far.

I was planning on taking 88 over the Sierras at the end of the month.  I just visited Yosemite for the first time this year a week or so back, the snow level was up at about 7,000 feet at the time.  Kind of amazing how fast the season has turned, it was warming up and looking like it was going to be a dry a winter.

Same here in the CT valley, but go up in the hills north or west of Waterbury, and there was snow, with almost a foot in parts of Litchfield County.  Forecasters are still trying to push the idea that wraparound moisture will hit the valley and the Worcester and NE CT hills, but it's still 40 degrees where I am.  Today was weird in that NYC got snow and we didn't.

Final total for my house is 16 inches. Unlike most storms this time of year, accumulations increase heading south (usually late-season snow hits near Lake Ontario hardest). Only 10 inches up in Webster, but closer to 20 inches down by Routes 5 and 20.

Roads were ugly this morning, but were completely dry by early afternoon. Empty, too - I had the cruise set at 75 mph for the entire length of I-590. That's an impressive feat unto itself, not to mention at rush hour on a day when we just got landed with over a foot of snow. Goes to show that the storm warnings scare off the bad drivers :)

Unlike the last nor'easter, this one totally missed us. We got no more than a few wet flurries and sprinkles; otherwise just gray skies with temperatures hovering in the mid-30's.

What's strange is that, a week later, we still have a solid 6-8 inches of snow on the ground from the last storm. March snow doesn't usually stick around like this, especially considering temperatures have risen above freezing every day since the storm. I'm blaming the lack of sunshine.

It looks like the Sierra Nevada will get one more round of substantial snow (several feet at the I-80 and US 50 summits) over the next few days.  Based on the calendar it's likely this would be the final event that would include any road closures until November.

The "Tahoe Daily Snow" skier forecast has a thorough discussion and usually turns out more accurate than the numbers hyped by traditional media.

In RI and Eastern MA, it's even worse with blizzard conditions.

I'm in eastern Nova Scotia. We've had three Nor'easters in about 12 days and each has started with a bit of snow then quickly changed to rain. It will be +3 or 37F today.

But go a little west from here to the Annapolis Valley, Northern Nova Scotia and on up into New Brunswick and they've got a fair amount of snow out of each storm.

Yesterday (especially once night arrived), it was pretty insane in my region. Right exactly where I am (Dalton, Georgia) never actually got much worse than thunderstorms, but surrounding areas (especially farther south and west) were not as fortunate. Elsewhere in the area, there was a risk of hail and tornadoes (and of course very severe thunderstorms), and IIRC, I think my mom showed me a video of what may have been a tornado in Cullman, Alabama (northeast and eastern Alabama was hit the hardest of them all). It was definitely crazy, but the fact that it happened, and during this time of the year, doesn't surprise me at all, actually. This is because late Winter and Spring sport the worst tornado and severe weather risks down here in the South (things really ramp up in late February and March, typically). Dixie Alley (Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, etc.) can be just as prone to tornadoes as Tornado alley itself (Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, etc.), but the activity in these places varies at different parts of the year. In the late Winter and Spring, Dixie Alley sees the most action, but in the Summer, Tornado Alley sees the most action. So needless to say, this probably won't be the last time something like this happens in my region for this season.

We regret to inform you that spring has been cancelled this year.

Well, okay, the severe weather mentioned a couple posts up by adventurernumber1 was pretty springlike. Down here inside I-285, I got a light show that kept me from falling asleep for a couple hours, but all the tornadic activity was confined to the west.

Today, though, is cold and windy, which seems to have been a theme for Wednesdays lately for some reason. 39 degrees at 10 AM; we might manage to hit 50 today (average for this date is 66).

Yeah, with all those storms it must have brought in a cold front, because it is extremely cold and windy up here as well. It got very cold very fast, and the wind was going absolutely nuts in my area yesterday. Throughout the entire day, the wind gusts were insane - the wind was howling wildly periodically, and there would be limbs banging up against the windows sometimes. Ironically, it seems that it was those very storms that has now set us back for the season, as now it is much, much colder.  :-o

Well, fortunately for me, looks like most of the noreaster stayed to the south of my area.  They were forecasting up to 14" yesterday for my town, but one model had dry air suppressing most of the heavy stuff to the south, and that ended up being the most accurate.  Snow that was supposed to start mid-morning held off till about 5:30 this evening (so much for the early school dismissals, and one city has total egg on its face for cancelling altogether).  As it turns out, they forgot to put the decimal point between the 1 and 4.  Heard parts of Long Island got up to 5 inches in 1 hour from a burst, and NYC area is looking at a foot.  50 miles south and I'd be snowblowing tomorrow morning.  Instead, I already hear melting.

Some parts of Seattle woke up to snow yesterday. A friend in Arlington (less than an hour north of Seattle) told me that he had 8 inches. That's a lot more than I thought there was, but he also lives close to the mountains which may explain all the snow that other areas didn't see.

As for the rest of Seattle, it's been a pretty dry March. Chance of rain tonight and maybe a few days this week, but it's otherwise quite decent. Mid to upper 50s. More 60 degree temps looking likely within the next 10 days (it was consistently in the 60s and 70s not more than two weeks ago).

OK, now spring is truly here, just a week late. Partly cloudy and 74 degrees now just after lunchtime, likely getting into the upper 70s later this afternoon. Extended forecast for the next several days shows highs floating within a few degrees of 70, right where we should be for the end of March/beginning of April.

The pollen in Atlanta is thick as snow, with temperatures to match. Already up around 70, looking at highs near 80 both today and tomorrow.

A cold front Wednesday morning should knock us back down into the 60s for the rest of the week, then the weekend is a complete question mark, with the forecast wildly gyrating between partly cloudy/65-70 and all-day rain and barely reaching...50? Nah, that's for April 7, I must have clicked on the wrong city.

We had a white Easter in Kansas City today. Winter decided to reappear after a month-long hiatus. We had t-shirt and shorts weather two weeks ago, and we hadn't had any snow since late February. Without knowing I took this pic today, I would have guessed this was taken January 1 instead of April 1.

UPDATE: Winter is back for another round. It's 66° today, and there is at least a 50% chance of snow from 3pm to midnight tomorrow. it'll be 14°  by Saturday morning.

It looks like Spring has once again canceled its reservations for this year. My family and I left Hilton Head Island, SC today (we took a trip there for the past few days) to go back home. We stopped on the Awkright Rd. exit off I-75 in Macon, GA, and I was surprised to feel how cold the air and wind felt. Now as I have just arrived back home in Dalton, GA, it is even colder. Here, tonight, the low is 31 degrees, and it feels like 28 degrees. It will be quite windy until the morning. This was definitely sudden and unexpected, at least for me. There must have been a large cold front that came through to cause this while I was gone.  :-o

It's snowing in April in the South. Never seen this before. It's light, not accumulating, and mixed in with a little rain at times, but nonetheless, snow in April, in the South, in the Piedmont. Pretty rare.

It's 30°F, but otherwise clear with some clouds. My buddies further north are getting some winter weather right now, though. I'm torn between being relieved of the burden that weather causes, and being jealous because Iowa weather is too tame for my tastes this time of year. I like the unpredictability of Upper Midwest weather in early April. :)

You want unpredictable?
Try Upstate New York. Every day since Thursday (four consecutive days) has had accumulating snow, melting snow, and sunny breaks at random intervals.

I'm all for a good snow, but I'm ready for spring. The sun is just too strong for snow to stick around anyways. We got as much sun today as we will on Labor Day, and snow on Labor Day is unheard of. Heck, last year mid-September was still beach weather!

Another cold weekend in Atlanta. We dropped into the mid-30s this morning and cloud cover helped keep it down to around 57 this afternoon, conditions more typical of mid-February (which, of course, was when we actually had consistent 70s like we should have now!)

A warming trend this week should put us into the 75-80 range by about Thursday, then...of course...storms and another cold front for the weekend. On track for probably the worst Atlanta spring I can recall.

We've been having a lovely February this April pretty much everywhere east of the Mississippi and north of I-10.  Highs were only in the low 40's today in Southern New England, with lows in the low 20's and more of the same tomorrow and Tuesday, with the threat of snow on Tuesday.  I could see this kind of weather in northern Maine, but all the way down past NYC?!?  We should not be seeing lows in the low 20's after early March.   Hoping and praying the warm air that will be on our doorstep punches through next weekend and we hit the low 70's instead of the possible maritime air that would keep us in the 50's.  After the coldest first half of Spring I can remember, we deserve it.

Haha, probably viewed the same way me living Los Angeles and having to hear people in Oklahoma City complain about traffic I assume? I hate the cold with a few exceptions. I don't know how I'd survive in MN but I'm sure I'd eventually get used to it. In LA, it isn't uncommon for people to start wearing scarfs when it gets below 60 or even 65. I feel right at home there!

And the day before it hit only 20 above, it was 44 during the day. I was wearing only shorts and a t-shirt outside. ;-)

It's a clear 64-degree evening here after a high of around 80. Despite that, I find myself venturing outside only when absolutely necessary thanks to back-to-back days with pollen counts over 5000, which my sinuses do not appreciate in the slightest. So I have mixed feelings about the rain expected to come in Saturday night—Sunday morning; hopefully that won't derail any weekend plans, but it should at least temporarily remove the yellow coating over everything.

So far, April in Seattle has been a total disappointment. Passing showers almost every day since the first, and highs maxing out in the mid-60s on a few days only (mostly low- to mid-50s). March felt like summer in comparison.

You are not alone with the pollen problems. Spring is visually a beautiful season, but it is the worst one for me physically. This is because my sinuses, too, go absolutely nuts from the pollen. I will get the sneezing and the fiercely itchy eyes like crazy, and more. I was in South Carolina on vacation last week, but the whole time I was sneezing (and even had a few nose bleeds, aggravated by both that and my high blood pressure) and itching all over the place, since I was outside a lot. It was beautiful, but I had to suffer physically, unfortunately.  :-(

Spring, until yesterday and today, has been nonexistent in the northeastern US.  It's been absolutely miserable, with March and April having both resembled February.   Even after this April Thaw with 70's yesterday and maybe 70 today, we'll see cold rain possibly mixed with sleet at higher elevations and highs in the 30's tomorrow X-(  with 6-12"  of snow possible in northern New England.

Likely because saying "winter" is more encompassing of the multiple types of precipitation that can occur during a single storm. Summer storms typically only have rain or hail...much more discrete and easier to differentiate. Depending on your specific location and the time of day this past weekend, we had snow, rain, freezing rain, sleet, or graupel.

I actually experienced a bit of approximately pea-sized hail over the weekend, in addition to rain.

Then, later that day, the rain turned into snow. Go figure.

Not sure how it works in the Northeast, but many of Seattle's historic snow storms have occurred in Autumn (although almost all post-Thanksgiving). The running gag around here is that winter is actually late November through February. Snow in March or April is very uncommon.

Around here, if we thought winter ended in February we'd be kidding ourselves. Lake Erie is famous for producing intense November snowfalls, but the vast majority of yearly snowfall occurs after Christmas. A lot (if not an outright majority) of major nor'easter's occur in March, too. This season has been particularly gloomy and depressing (last day above 50 degrees was in February), but we get accumulating snow in April almost every year. We even had a May snowfall a few years back - it's usually mid-May before spring has truly sprung.

Sounds like this "spring" is almost as good in Vermont as it is here in WNY!  :-D

There was a joke going around recently that April is an extension of January this year (ie. today is January 115th!) Not far from the truth, considering the sheer persistence of the cold and total lack of sunshine  :paranoid:

It's been just awful everywhere north of I-40 and east of the Mississippi.  We had one 77 degree day in February, and it's as if we sold our souls for 1 day of warmth in exchange for 6 more weeks on top of the 6 more weeks of winter the groundhog predicted. :evilgrin: It has snowed almost a third of the days this month so far.  Normal in Northern Maine, but all the way down to almost NYC?!?  Can't remember a Spring this dank and cold with highs in the 30's all the way till the 15th of the month.  Other than the April Thaw we had last week, it might reach 60 by early next week but nothing significant in the way of real Spring weather.  Have a feeling the apple crop this year is going to be a blight.

The sun has returned to the Atlanta sky for the first time since at least Sunday (maybe earlier, I was out of town before that). It rained four of the last five days (all except Wednesday), with Monday's final daily total of over 4 inches ranking in the top ten wettest days ever here.

A nice lunchtime here, sunny and 69 with a forecast high of 72. Still cooler than average for this weekend with highs around 70-75, but with no clouds at all that'll feel just fine.

We're on the rollercoaster in the northeast.  Yesterday was 70 and sunny.  Today barely made it above 50 with on and off rain mixed with some sun.  Tonight, it is supposed to get down into the upper 30's, and there may even be some snow in the air in the higher terrain.  Tomorrow's highs look like they'll barely hit 50.  Then Tuesday, it's supposed to be 75 followed by low to mid 80's Wednesday and Thursday.  April goes out like February and May comes in like June.

Today and tomorrow will feature showers, followed by a Warm up into the upper 80s or 90s (spell check hates me). For reference, today will be about 70 and our average is 65.

The heat is about to be very much on in Atlanta. We're a little warmer than average today (82 now, likely high around 85), with upper 80s coming for the end of the week and likely poking into the 90s for the weekend, which we usually don't see until June. Plenty of sunshine through all of this, so the local pools will certainly be popular this weekend.

Yesterday was full of thundery weather in Bellevue, WA and the rest of the Eastside of Seattle. I was out doing some driving for Lyft when I drove straight through a pretty big thunderstorm. They're pretty rare here, so it was cool to see. Second day in a row up here with thunderstorms in the region. Both days have been pretty warm too. Upper 70s and low 80s.

Today is crap though. Passing showers, low 60s. X-(

Low 60s is fine if you're used to really cold temperatures, but I'm not. Low 30s is about as cold as it usually gets round here. And it's been in the 70s pretty consistently for the past few weeks, so it feels cold. Low 60s could also be fine if you're 100 pounds overweight :-D

The holiday weekend is not, in fact, a complete washout. I don't think it rained at all yesterday, and so far it hasn't rained today (82 degrees now after a high of 85), though we could see a little something later this evening. Most of tomorrow looks dry as well, with the rain arriving in earnest tomorrow night and likely continuing through midweek, depending on exactly where Alberto goes.

Yesterday, I was up in the Twin Cities (Mendota Heights, more or less–my current avatar the destination), out in the field taking road pictures, and I think it peaked at about 95 sometime around 2 PM. Almost nary a cloud in the sky. I went through at least half a dozen bottles of Gatorade staying hydrated in the process. Sunscreen and taking breaks in my car, running my car's AC full blast, also greatly helped accomplish my goals.

Today, I'm back in Des Moines, and right now it's 97 and sunny. I'm not sure the AC in my bedroom window has stopped running since 9 AM.

From what I read in the paper, apparently downtown is at a low point where the topography acts as sort of a funnel into the Patapsco River, exacerbated by four or five smaller streams all flowing downhill and joining together near there. A look at Google Maps confirms the smaller streams. I haven't been to Ellicott City in probably 20+ years.

Seattle is currently tied (https://goo.gl/k2iTwb) (with itself) for driest may ever. Only 0.12" of rain so far in May. And, it's the warmest May ever (https://goo.gl/3pKTp9), average 61.~ F (about a degree warmer than the previous record). The rest of the month should be mid-to-upper 60s, so no chance of that record falling apart.

It looks like we may be done with Alberto's rain here. Ended up with a total of around an inch and a quarter, a far cry from the 4-6 inches that the forecasts claimed. Different story up in northeast Georgia, though, where some areas did see 6-8 inches.

It's partly cloudy and 84 now. Mid-upper 80s the rest of the week, then near 90 this weekend. May has been a warm month, about 5 degrees above average, but with March and April having been unusually cool, the overall spring average is pretty much right on target (+0.6 degrees).

Unfortunately, this (which holds true in Upstate NY as well) means that hardly any individual days have had average temperatures.

One month ago, on April 30th, it was literally snowing. Now, on May 30th, we smashed the daily record of 88 degrees, hitting 93 degrees this afternoon (not to mention the humidity). I wish the transition from winter to summer had been a little longer, preferably with a few solid months of temperatures between 55 and 75!

A heat-induced thunderstorm materialized over my city this afternoon and promptly dumped three inches of rain in about 45 minutes, causing a considerable amount of street flooding.

I had two separate temperature drops occur this afternoon: first from about 90 to 85 around 4 PM for no obvious reason, then again to about 77 an hour later when a rain shower rolled through. After it moved out, we rebounded to about 82 before beginning the normal evening decline. Not terribly uncommon around here this time of year.

:confused: I don't get it. By that standard, I should be under an excessive heat warning for an uninterrupted four-month stretch every year.

Actually it's slightly cooler than that here. 79 now after a high of 88. Today and Tuesday were the only two days this week that didn't involve some sort of mid-afternoon thunderstorm (on Tuesday, they waited until just before midnight instead).

Should be a little drier over the next week, highs staying in the upper 80s, lows in the low 70s. Pretty much normal.

It's important to note that Excessive Heat Warnings are issued based upon heat index (a calculation involving temperature and humidity), not just temperature.

Some places in the western US, where humidity is almost never a factor, use temperature alone and not heat index.

In addition, the criteria for an excessive heat warning is probably greater in Georgia than it is in Michigan. Similar to a winter weather advisory, where any snow at all is enough to issue the alert in Florida, but 3-4 inches is required for colder parts of the country.

It's important to note that Excessive Heat Warnings are issued based upon heat index (a calculation involving temperature and humidity), not just temperature.

Also, temperatures in the 90's are expected in Georgia. Not so much further north, where people are less likely to know how to prepare for and respond to the heat appropriately. Just the opposite happens in the winter - Georgia and Tennessee get Winter Weather Warnings issued for a few flurries that wouldn't cause us to even bat an eyelash.

Basically, weather is deemed "extreme" or "excessive" relative to expected conditions in that place, and what's expected varies a lot from place to place.

Yes, normal high temperature in Kalamazoo for today is roughly 81 degrees with a low of 61 or 62.  Earlier this week we didn't get out of the 60s for high temperatures. 

All of the lower peninsula is under a excessive heat warning.  There are no heat advisories in the upper peninsula, although I am surprised to see it is still 84 at 10:30 p.m. in Marquette.  It is only supposed to be 82 for a high in Marquette tomorrow versus 95 in Kalamazoo.  It is 83 in Kalamazoo at 10:30 p.m.

Thankfully, I'm in the one part of the country that isn't under excessive heat.

The long-range forecast thinks we'll have hotter weather once summer really kicks in, so I'm enjoying every minute of this Juneuary weather.

My father, who grew up in Norway, claims not to understand what the problem is with 95 degree temperatures and a heat index of 105 (he lives in Portland ME, I live in Dover DE).  He was telling me over the phone, "You should really take advantage of this weather."

I went outside for less than 5 minutes today, to take out the garbage, and it was painful.  I try to walk to work when the weather is nice (about 1 mile) but I'm just going to stick with driving for the next couple of days.

You might find 95 bad if your dew point is 80 or greater.  It makes for air thick enough to drink.  Air that should require gills instead of lungs to breathe.

Looks like monsoon season is coming.  Even so, I find it highly unusual that a large portion of the desert southwest is explicitly highlighted on this map for a "heavy rain" hazard.  Those don't appear on the 3-7 day hazard map terribly often in any particular part of the country.

I love people here in western Washington, for the most part. But, right on cue, every summer, it gets really hot, and we always complain. Here's an idea, folks: buy a portable AC unit! They are not that expensive, and they work for years. They are one of the best investments. And I always hear the same thing: "I moved here because I like rain and I don't like heat". Well, you picked the wrong city. Seattle is hot during the summer, and it does not rain much at all.

Oh, and let's all conveniently ignore that it's barely 90 most days, and it's a very dry heat. If you can't handle that, you need to go live in a hole. Or somewhere with AC!

The summers have been getting hotter, and most homes (even up through the 90s, like mine) were not built with air conditioning. The way the suburbs were built also contribute to major heat waves, especially since naturally cool streams have been paved over with hot asphalt and concrete.

Also doesn't help that so much of our land (at least in the US) is just grassland.  I go for a walk everyday at work and I was thinking (as I was frying in the heat) about how few trees there are in our office complex, even though there's a massive empty field in front of one of the buildings.  It's so unnecessary!

I thought creeks were required to remain untouched?

Either way, the summers aren't dramatically hotter than they used to be, and AC units have been around for a long time. I don't expect everybody to have central air throughout their house, but if people can't even be bothered to save up for an AC unit, they have no room to complain.

Some people can't handle air conditioning, some households have different temperature preferences (which is why my house in unequipped), and some housing associations forbid the use of outward-facing ACs for appearances.

The primary objective with portable AC units is to keep them in the bedroom, so you can at least get through the night. I don't expect people to have six or seven of those bastards throughout the house. It would be cheaper to install central cooling at that point.

What do you mean that some people can't handle air conditioning? Like, they're so skinny they feel cold at anything less than 80?

Hot day today, still 87 degrees at 7:30 after a high of 93. No afternoon storms today, at least, unlike the last two days, and it looks like we may get to stay rain-free for a couple more days.

Absolutely crazy. I was able to escape to DC to see my mother for a couple weeks right as this second wave hit. My grandparents are normally workaholics during the day, but due to their age, they've been advised by more than a few people to just not go outside. Even our dogs have to stay inside, except to potty.

Glad that it's improving today through tomorrow.

Virtually all of the Puget Sound's smoke comes from British Columbia. For the nth-Summer in a row, BC is being ravaged by wildfires. When the winds shift to northerly (from the north), the smoke gets blown down from the Fraser Valley, and straight into Seattle. The Seattle-area can get smoke from other places, but IIRC, BC is the primary culprit.

The areas east of the Cascade Mountains are as dry as Southern California, and have the same old-growth forests to boot. It's perfect tinder for major wildfires.

AB is getting a lot of BC's smoke, and it seems to be also drifting east into SK and MB. Those places sometimes have their own wildfire problems, as does NT. Fires in NT and SK have messed up my travel plans in past years, and fires in northern AB have come close to doing so.

We're also feeling those pre-effects here in Atlanta, as the rain chance drops for the next couple days. Near 90 today, with a sunny weekend and temperatures in the low-to-mid-90s for the next couple days ("normal" highs should ordinarily be subsiding into the mid-80s by now). A weakening Florence will probably bring a small amount of rain here (maybe an inch or two at most) by about Sunday or Monday.

Windy!

Today has seen two windstorms here. Ali on its way to the North Sea and Bronagh on its way from the Atlantic. I've avoided the worst of it due to living relatively inland, and in the South - I don't think we've reached formal gales here (though a tree did fall down on the railway between here and London this evening, causing a great mess with people's commutes home - but that was probably a gust, rather than sustained winds), but we've had near-gale force winds for large chunks of the last 60 hours.

Tuesday saw the remnants of Hurricane Helene (downgraded from storm status as it crossed the county).
Wednesday Ali hit and it wasn't gone fully by this morning.
Today Bronagh was named and is currently pelting Ireland and the North with rain, and blowing strong here. It is going to be at its worst tomorrow.

Helene (we don't give new names if they already have one) might have faded away after reaching land, but Ali and Bronagh have become Storms just hours before landfall and have got stronger as they crossed Britain and Ireland.

The list of names only came out on the 11th, and - since we started naming them (OK, not very long ago) we've only had one other September storm. We had only 5 days without one, and then - like buses - three came along all literally one-after-the-other with little-to-no gap between them.

We saw our first freeze of the season this morning with temperatures falling to 31. A mostly sunny day will lift us comfortably into the mid-50s, though.

Sounds like our weather up here. Finally started dropping below 32 a few days in the last week, but only because it's been clear. Highs have been in the mid-50s. Definitely not as warm as last November (according to my posts on this thread).

Tonight and tomorrow night also dropping below 32, before a rain system moves through and drops the lows into the mid-40s. Then it dries out again for about five or six days, and then a much larger showery system settles in with highs in the low-50s/upper-40s and lows in the upper-30s. Classic northwest fall weather!

Yesterday: 54°. I didn't need a jacket until 9 PM. Today will be getting into the low 40s, which also seems high, but it's only 3—4° above the average.

Light rain during the day and heavy rain during the night since Friday evening in central Delaware and, from what I understand, the rest of Delmarva.  High 40s to low 50s for a high.

So tired of all the rain. It's been raining all weekend. We went to L'Auberge Chez François in Great Falls for dinner last night and it was a very nerve-wracking drive due to a lot of standing water flooding various roads (one road I wanted to use was closed), plus a tree down on Wiehle Avenue in Reston.

Decent rain this last week, looks like we are getting a storm on Tuesday and a pretty good one at that, with some heavy gusts, maybe a 60.

Co-signed. I just got back from Orlando; driving down there from Atlanta on Friday was quite unpleasant. The constant-ish light rain in Georgia wasn't too bad, but things got considerably worse south of the border. I always have my GPS on for long-distance drives in case of traffic calamities, and the heavy rain did a number on I-75 causing numerous crashes. I ended up being routed around one via CRs 318/225/329/225A and US 27, and the amount of standing water on the back roads was disconcerting. Made it through without issue, though.

Rain was thankfully absent on my return trip today. In fact I got abundant sunshine with temperatures in the 50s and 60s along the route, peaking around 70 somewhere in central Georgia. Now clear and 49 here at home, bound for a low in the upper 30s. Reasonably standard fare for mid-December here.

It'll be raining here in our area of JAX (Deerwood-Southside) on Thursday but not Friday. My one and only big sister should be ok as long as her flight here from EWR Friday afternoon/evening isn't delayed or canceled like it has been on occasion. United can suck it.

The forecast maps on last night's news make it look like the part of the trip through Virginia and the Carolinas could be very rainy. My wife suggested leaving late Thursday and driving three or four hours, but I said no–if I'm gonna drive any distance in the rain, I'd prefer doing it during the day.

Meanwhile, we haven't seen 65° here since December 2. Go figure.

It's mercifully sunny here today, about 45 now and headed for a high of 50. Average high is 52, so that's about right. It'll be mostly dry for the next few days, then it looks like we may get to finish 2018 with five straight days of rain. Certainly it's desperately needed; so far it's only been the 5th wettest year in recorded history here, and dammit, we expect nothing less than number one! (Kill me.)

Yeah my one and only big sister (who's staying at our house for about a week or so) said the same thing last night about it being colder here than it was at her home. And while driving to and from the airport in order to pick her up late last night, it was so windy that it was hard to steer straight for our dad and his Audi Q5.

Perhaps about as bizarre as the possible thunderstorm that central Iowa is supposed to get this afternoon. Nothing's happened yet, though.

Edit: Radar image looks somewhat promising. If it's going to be a thunderstorm, it's going to be a really weak one.

By the way, you don't need to report typical conditions, only unusual ones.
I used the high for today.

Well, I agree, but he seems to post to this thread daily regardless (at least he has every day since he reappeared).
If it wouldn't be so much work, I would construct a quote string of all his updates, showing every date since Dec. 19th, to prove it!  :-P

Yeah, at least on my weather app, I can see the current temp on my phone's home screen.
I actually have to open the app to see the daily high.

Speaking of which, it is 48 and sunny!!!
For Upstate NY in January, I'm not complaining!

I'm probably going to go back to my MWF posting schedule here now that this thread is active again, condituons permitting (looking at you summer). If I think its too much, or there are 3 complaints, I'll drop it to MTh.

That being said, this one may replace Monday's: looks like we have a 60/40 shot at another decent shot of wind tonight, probably with a half an inch of rain. This system could still become to elongated to do anything but rain though. No freezing days in sight

I don't think it's really that active. RGT just keeps posting over and over (never mind the numerous posts about his posts, such as this one), giving the appearance of activity.

There's no post limit obviously, but I don't think the weather changes anywhere in the US often enough to warrant three posts per week. But it's your call, and I'm not an admin.

It does change on a day to day basis...warmer, colder, rain, sun, snow, clouds. But that's true in many areas.

You don't say...my point is, this isn't the weather channel. We're not here filing reports. A quick update once a week is cool, but don't go overboard. Eventually people aren't going to read your posts. Just stick to the bigger stuff: record highs, lots of rain, flooding, heavy snow, etc. Light rain and 46 = zzzzz

That was a crazy night! Still people up here without power. The return from winter break was delayed in several Seattle-area districts due to power outages.

And then a totally out-of-the-blue severe thunderstorm in the middle of the night, followed by some snow this morning. We've had it all this weekend.

Hahaha don't worry, I didn't get any thunder or snow myself in the Tacoma area (only Bruce actually got anything ^^^). I heard some loud thudding noises Saturday night, but I'm thinking it was branches falling, not thunder.

51 degrees, which is pretty warm considering it's still before 9 AM. Looking at our third straight day of highs in the 60s, but a cold front coming through today (bringing mostly just clouds, very little rain for once) will change that; after today we may not break 50 again for a week.

Cold and windy in Atlanta today. It was still in the mid-30s at lunchtime; we eventually struggled our way up to 44 and are now on our way down to the mid-20s for tonight. For comparison, we're currently at what is normally the coldest point of the whole year (December 29 through January 12) with an average high/low of 53/33.

At least it's sunny, though.

Looking out the kitchen door at our deck at 10:43 tonight. We'll see how it is in the morning for comparison purposes. (The couple of little depressions in the snow between the table near the door and the bigger table are almost certainly where the feral cat we call Fraidy would have walked when she left after coming for food. We were at the hockey game, but we left her bowl under the small table near the door because we knew she'd come begging and there's a good chance she won't be able to get up to our deck for a couple of days if we get a lot of snow.)

One of the forecasts around here called for 8-12 inches one day and 5-8 the next, so those may well be inches.  That said, the local meteorologist said it's too early to declare snowfall totals, so we'll see.

I woke up this morning to find the tops of cars in the parking deck outside my window coated in white, which was a mild surprise since there was no precipitation in the forecast. Nothing sticking to the ground, though, and it's all melted now. Sunny and 38 now after a morning low of 29, headed for the mid-50s.

After a few days of cloudy weather with dense fog advisories at night, we're supposed to have a squall line of thunderstorms move through this evening. There's a marginal/slight risk of severe storms today for wind and tornadoes. Tornado watch is already in effect to the west in Alabama. We'll see what happens; it's looking to be the most exciting weather we've had in a long time.

That could continue to be mildly interesting into tomorrow morning. Though the rain's all falling today while it's warm (50s/60s), cold air will rush in overnight tonight resulting in a morning low temperature at or near freezing. Might see some slippery roads, particularly on the north side.

Tomorrow will probably be a day for me to just stay inside, with temperatures not making it out of the 30s along with a 20-25 mph northwest wind.

22 degrees, windy, and still snowing. Hasn't stopped snowing since my post early today, and looks like it will continue to snow for several more hours with a chance of extra lake effect tomorrow. Hard to estimate the current total due to all the drifting, but it's easily over 6 inches, with some drifts over a foot.

All 4 of the counties my hometown touches have declared level 3 snow emergencies, which means the roads are closed to non-emergency personnel.

As expected, we're holding in the mid-30s under mostly cloudy skies. I saw a few snow flurries about 20-30 minutes ago (and I do mean a few, as in countable on one hand).

Not gonna be seeing anything remotely close to those Virginia/Delaware numbers above, but we will drop well into the 20s tonight with windchills in the teens by morning. I think there will be colder air to come before the end of winter; my rule of thumb is that the temperature has to reach 17 degrees at least once every year, and that hasn't happened yet.

Long term forecast for the Seattle area is for highs around 50, lows around 40-35 (lower in rural areas), and...wait for it...mostly to partly cloudy! According to TWC, over the next ten days, only two have chances of precipitation over 50%.

Got another winter weather advisory for tonight through Tuesday night, with either snow (up to two inches) or a mixture of snow/freezing rain/ice accumulation expected.

I'll amend my previous post with the text of the current winter storm warning that central Iowa is under.

...A Wintry Mix and Wind into Wednesday Morning...

.A winter storm system will bring a mixture of freezing drizzle,
freezing rain, snow, and stronger winds to the state today and
tonight. A more widespread moderate snow along with ice is
expected. The ice will be more prevalent over southern areas this
morning with lighter amounts north with snow mainly over the north
through mid afternoon. Later in the afternoon and tonight another
period of moderate snow is expected to set up farther south into
central and eastern Iowa. The combination of ice, snow and winds
increasing this evening will create hazardous travel over much of
the area by later today and tonight.

...WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 AM CST
WEDNESDAY...

* WHAT...Heavy mixed precipitation. Snow accumulations of 4 to 6
inches and ice accumulations of one tenth to two tenths of an
inch.

* WHERE...Portions of Central Iowa.

* WHEN...Until 6 AM CST Wednesday.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Plan on slippery road conditions. Patchy
blowing snow could significantly reduce visibility. The
hazardous conditions could impact the morning or evening
commute.

40 and raining. It's a wet sloppy mess made worse by all this snow from the weekend storm trying to melt off.

Though with the temp forecasted to drop back below freezing tonight and stay that way for over a week, it kinda feels like a race to see how much of this can be melted off before whatever is left freezes solid.

I'd probably agree, actually. As long as I can see the sun, I'm generally fine with it being cold. I've absolutely hated this winter not because it's cold, but because it seems like it's constantly raining and/or cloudy.

Right now, though, it's sunny and 42. Colder than average for Atlanta, but I give it a thumbs up.

We'll see what happens; it's still unclear whether most of the precipitation will fall before or after the colder air arrives. If it turns out to be before, it'll just be yet another day of cold rain.

As always with these things, I assume the worst case scenario, i.e. mostly freezing rain and sleet. Most of the time, that's what it ends up being (which results in the usual "LOL Atlanta can't handle one inch of snow"; yeah, neither could y'all if there were a quarter-inch of ice under it).

2 inches of snow in an area unprepared to handle it can lead to conditions necessitating a "storm watch". It's basically just saying "hey, it's gonna snow...you know you can't drive in it, so don't go out".

People make fun of Seattle for our inability to handle snow, at least partly due to snow being so rare, as to be impossible to understand how to handle it when driving. But Seattle is covered in hills; driving anywhere without elevation changes is pretty rare. Streets like this are fairly common: http://bit.ly/2sN5nr8




Partially-related: several chances for snow in the Seattle area during the next week and a bit. Day-time temps in the 30s and low 40s, but lows overnight into the twenties, with the chance for precipitation highest during those hours. Clear skies during the evening hours will allow the temps to drop below freezing before precipitation arrives.

There's a chance of snow here where I am in northwestern Georgia on Tuesday.

I echo the posts that say just a little bit of snow could close a lot in a city or region that is not as prepared for handling it as other areas - this includes where I live. Snow and ice, no matter how much, will more often than not close schools over here.

While Seattle is pretty far north, it is known more for rain than snow - I believe this is because it lies within the biome of "Temperate Rainforest," if I recall correctly. Hell, even the southeastern reaches of Alaska may fall within the outer boundaries of the wider range of this biome (Marine West Coast) along the western coast of North America - according to what I have learned in my Physical Geography class that I am taking this semester in college, just this past week.

Many places around the country can handle snow (and lots of it) like a boss, but not everyone gets as much snow where it is worth being just as prepared.  :-P

We probably do, but we are still relatively unprepared when compared to places in the Northeast or Midwest. IIRC, we only have one snow-plow in our city (Dalton, though it has a population of over 30,000 people). There are ridges and valleys around us, larger mountains to our east (i.e. past Chatsworth), and the tops of those mountains definitely get more snow than down below. An inch or more of snow here is guaranteed to close all the schools, and in general we're just not accustomed to snow like people farther up north are.

While Seattle is pretty far north, it is known more for rain than snow - I believe this is because it lies within the biome of "Temperate Rainforest," if I recall correctly. Hell, even the southeastern reaches of Alaska may fall within the outer boundaries of the wider range of this biome (Marine West Coast) along the western coast of North America - according to what I have learned in my Physical Geography class that I am taking this semester in college, just this past week.

You're on the right track. Western Washington is a warm-summer Mediterranean climate (Csb), with the Olympic Peninsula's rain forest and bits of northwest Washington (excluding BC's Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island) falling into the Oceanic climate (Cfb in this case). I think most of Western Washington is too dry for oceanic, or something like that.

In either case, snow isn't a major feature; it really only happens when we get an arctic blast from BC (via the Fraser River Watershed, IIRC). We can get huge amounts of snow, but it has to be a "perfect storm", so to speak.

Snowing fairly heavily.  Temperature is currently 28, expected to rise to about 35 by 1pm when the snow/freezing rain ends.  Then temperatures are expected to drop steadily until bottoming out at -23 around 6am Wednesday.

The National Weather Service has just issued a Winter Storm Watch for the Atlanta metro area, warning of possibly up to 2 inches of snow on Tuesday.

We'll see what happens; it's still unclear whether most of the precipitation will fall before or after the colder air arrives. If it turns out to be before, it'll just be yet another day of cold rain.

Update: that watch has now been upgraded to a winter weather advisory. We're going into full snowstorm mode for this: Georgia Tech and State, most K-12 districts, and all state/city offices in the Atlanta area will be closed tomorrow.

For those keeping score, the current forecast for Atlanta is 0-1 inches; Cobb County and some of the northwestern suburbs will likely see more.

For Chicagoland, all schools, even CPS, are already closed for tomorrow.  The zoos and museums are already closed for tomorrow.  I imagine that by the end of today, everything except hospitals, first responders, public transportation, gas stations and maybe a handful of restaurants will be closed tomorrow.

44 degrees and falling. Light rain has been falling for about an hour, and I'm pretty sure rain is all it will be today, as we'll dry out before it gets cold enough for anything else. I got an extra work-from-home day, though, so that's cool.

As last measured (11:54 pm) at the Des Moines International Airport, it was —15°F with a —44°F wind chill. Supposed to get down to —22°F at its lowest yet tonight.

The blowing snow I can see outside is intense, too. Hard to tell if it's new precipitation or lifting powder off the ground.

It's cleared up a lot already, so I'm guessing it was mostly a snow shower.

Imagine a landscape, where there is no precipitation falling from the sky, but snow is still getting onto the roadways leading to people getting stuck or into accidents.

That's what I experienced all day on January 20th along I-55 and I counted 15 vehicles in the ditches along that 8-hour drive, even though nothing was falling from the sky!  Blowing snow can be a really irritating problem.  It's especially bad because it's an overlooked problem.  Check road conditions even if it isn't snowing!

Sure enough, it indeed did not snow yesterday. Not even close. Even most of the rainfall had dried up by the end of the day under sunny skies.

It was cold this morning, but not egregiously so (mid-20s). Sunny and 39 now as we begin a warming trend that'll have us well into the 60s by this time next week.

Chicago and other affected areas (as in affected by the polar vortex) in the Midwest are getting temperatures that may, IIRC, be even lower than some parts of Mars.

Conversely, Alaska and other areas very close to the poles are currently getting warmer temperatures than usual, if I recall correctly.

This is day 2 of the big meltdown, and it's going to be in the 50's again tomorrow, so we should finally get rid of the remaining snow piles from the storm we had back on Jan 19. This is the 3rd time it's been above freezing since that snow fell, but the first 2 times it got really cold a day later and turned everything to ice (with a few inch or less snows thrown in on top of it as well)

Seattle is absolutely falling apart. They were predicting a few inches at most, even in the snowiest places. Places up north and in the Cascade Foothills ended up with 7-10+ inches.

I woke up at 0700 with about 2.5", but I'm up to about 4" now, maybe more. Most schools cancelled. UW-Tacoma was open until an hour ago, before they came to their senses and realized that it's a commuter campus.

Temperature at 0900 is 24F, which is very low for us at this time of day. Will not get above freezing anywhere in the Seattle metro today. Places like Vancouver (BC) are just frozen solid.

I'd mock Seattle for not having their shit together, but then again that amount of snow really sucks when it's hilly. Not being prepared for it only makes that worse.

Here, on the other hand, most of the snow has melted. Once the polar vortex receded the temperatures soared into the 40s, and now it's practically all gone. All that's left in my yard are the mountains from shoveling and the windrow from plowing along the street.

The Washington State Patrol informed us this morning that we were, in fact, not prepared for this storm. Well, no shit! We never get any practice. Never mind the hills. It's just almost impossible in some places, even for those with the right vehicle, and the right skills. Funny thing is, I'm sure there were more than a few crashes caused by people out trying to learn how to drive in the snow. I feel bad for them, but at least they're out there trying to conquer the dreaded white bastard.

It's now just after 1300 PST, and the temperature is still 24F. Which is just really, really unusual. It's not midwest cold, but for us to be below freezing all day is just not normal at all. Tonight should be down into the low teens. Tomorrow morning's roads might be worse than today.

Which aspect of the weather? The snow or the cold? I would say there's at least one day of snow per year in Seattle that cancels most schools, and leaves the freeways empty.

The whole "not getting above freezing" thing is definitely not a yearly occurrence, at least as far as I can recall. Winter low temps in Seattle get below freezing all the time, but high temps are always at least low-to-mid 30s. What's a bit more common is sub-freezing high temps in the northern counties.

A crazy day around here with a couple feet of snow at lake level at Lake Tahoe and more over the mountain passes.  It looks like I-80 will be completely closed over the Sierra for as much as 24 hours.  US 50 gets closures of several hours for avalanche control, and CA 88 can get avalanche closures lasting a couple days, so there's no practical route between Tahoe and the Sacramento Valley.  I guess if somebody were willing to endure a slow slog, US 395 north from Reno to CA 70 at Hallelujah Junction, and then CA 70 through Quincy and the Feather River Canyon over to Oroville would get you there at a cost of many extra hours.

The mixture of fast-settling ice, the hills/terrain, and swings in temperature all contribute to some very difficult snow days. There's some major arterial streets that swing down 8% grades and have to be closed to traffic (but that doesn't stop idiots from trying).

Doesn't look like this ice storm ever materialized, though I did hear rain around 9 pm or so.  Most of the snow we got in recent weeks is melted now, which is nice.

Northern and western burbs got clobbered. Chicago luckily warmed up enough for just a cold rain

No guarantees you'll see what I'm seeing now, but...

Go to www.weather.com .  Currently, there's a news story stating "Outbreak Closes School: Forty-Five States have 'Widespread' Flu Activity".  Yet, the accompanying map shows a varied mixture of red and green.  Click on the story, and you find out that TWO schools in the entire country have closed (both in Alabama) and only 23 states are showing high flu activity.

That station continues to find ways to alienate and confuse their viewership!

Not to mention they tend to only focus on the weather in California or the Northeast. Just to throw out an example for today: Salt Lake City is currently having what is probably the biggest snowstorm in several years, and is under a winter storm warning. Yet this is nowhere to be found on the website.

Yet this is nowhere to be found on the website.

According to TWC forecasts for Salt Lake City, only 1-2 inches of snow is expected over the next 24 hours. That might be why. Even if their forecasts are wrong, it's not popping up on their radar (no pun intended). That said, the "Winter Storm Brings Dangerous Snow, Ice Threat" story on their front page does drop this line: "In the West, parts of the Salt Lake City metro area have seen more than a foot of snow."

One problem that SLC faces, that I don't see in Seattle, is the "inland western state" stereotype, in which it's understood by most of America that places like Casper, Denver, SLC, Reno, Spokane, Boise, etc all receive snow pretty regularly in the winter, so a storm that drops 10-20 inches of snow is, while interesting, not exactly front-page news. On the other hand, Seattle is not a city that is stereotyped as having snowy winters, so even a few inches will make the front pages.

TWC viewership must have been dropping off pretty considerably in the mid-noughties (when they were still good, but the internet was better) for them to have changed into what they are now, which is undoubtedly a Daily Mail-type site that is all shock-value, little substance, but pulls in viewers with "WHAT?" reactions.

And some of their television programming is that shitty, manufactured drama television like Highway Thru Hell, which I'll admit could be interesting perhaps if done differently.

I only know about that show because my dad watches it and he's like "hey, you like road stuff, you should check it out." I'll admit to being intrigued but the presentation really put me off.

Tuesday of last week I saw an inch of snow before heading back to school in Corvallis. This weekend looks good for Seattle, and some for Oregon, but not nearly as much. But Tuesday is looking like jackpot right now. 15 inches is what the 12z euro is saying for Corvallis, around 10 for Portland. Schools will be canceled for a week if that happens as temps won't really warm.

They also bought out weather underground which was a good site to use until TWC started throwing their toys onto it and cluttered the site up. Only thing I use them now for is for station readings for specific areas when I give forecasts for friends or family outdoor events.

I don't even use them for that. There are plenty of observation sites available via the National Weather Service observations page, but I'll use WeatherBug if a computer isn't handy. I do have the TWC app, but only for the purpose of getting severe weather alerts.

I used to love Weather Underground's website for two reasons. One was their live streaming weather radio; the other was the availability of data showing various thunderstorm metrics (max hail size, severe hail probability, etc.). Both are now gone.

Slightly warmer today, but the snow and ice from the last storm still remains (and is very slippery). Bus service is still at half of normal frequency. Residential streets are still not plowed.

The next snowstorm will hit tomorrow afternoon, just before rush hour. There's been a lot of panic buying at local supermarkets.

The snowstorm is well underway. 6" in most lowland areas around Seattle, though the city proper is shielded by a rain shadow. Even more expected tonight, followed by a second round on Monday.

EDIT: Unofficial snowfall totals from KING-TV. The outliers are out on the Olympic Peninsula.

Tacoma-South Hill has been getting stiffed all day, but finally seeing some major (heavy) accumulation since about 5:30. Few inches now, with the radar suggesting pretty consistent snow for a while. Finally below freezing too, so it shouldn't be going anywhere.

I-80 shut down again over Donner Summit; it has been closed several times in the last few weeks, generally for about 12-24 hours at a time.  Sgt. Strecker of the California Highway Patrol reports from the scene this morning:

What's been going on in the Sierra forcing the highway closures is that it has been snowing while the temperature is unusually cold.  Much of our snow falls when the temperature is 30°F or above; that's a heavy, wet snow commonly referred to as "Sierra Cement".  At my house this afternoon, at 6500' at Lake Tahoe, it has been snowing with air temperature around 24°F.  The snow has the consistency of baby powder and when the wind blows it's whiteout time.  I will say, it's much easier to move 6-9 inches of snow that falls at 24°F with a shovel or snowblower than it is to move 2 inches of that warmer wet slop.

Two claims were made, and one of them turned out to be false.

If I said two things and one of them was false, would you still believe the other no matter what, or would you be a bit skeptical?

From another forum I visit....

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190221/73d56561d5e916ac52476ae60f335ff4.jpg)

Two claims were made, and one of them turned out to be false.

If I said two things and one of them was false, would you still believe the other no matter what, or would you be a bit skeptical?

Also, the avatar is a Maine license plate. If Maine has the same weather as Massachusetts, it's still snowing.

He lives in Maryland. I think you're missing the double entendre....  :-D

It decided to snow about three inches this morning. Now about 34 with a snow/rain mix.

The snow was extremely localized, with areas only a few miles away receiving absolutely nothing. As far as I can tell, my neighborhood was the "worst hit" of the south-Seattle metro area, at least as far as I can tell from driving around.

There's been this weird bright thing in the sky today and yesterday, which hadn't really happened since the Saturday before last weekend. Unfortunately, it looks like we'll be headed into another week's worth of rain after tomorrow. The Apple forecast app has been on-and-off showing a snowflake for next Sunday; I think that's unlikely, but you never know.

Or maybe it's a situation like my high schools were, where my school district's population was growing so quickly we couldn't keep up constructing new schools, so half our classes were in "portable classrooms" outside the main building.

As for the weather, it's mostly cloudy and 49 this morning with an expected high around 65. Rain will return around Thursday, as what I can only assume at this point is divine retribution for some unknown crime continues. Supposedly turning much colder next week, though it seems unclear right now just how much colder.

My school was basically in the shape of an E, and we were allowed us to go outside to connect between wings rather than backtracking thru the main corridor (regardless of the weather).  The school's been modified since then so there's a solid corridor and more classrooms connecting the wings.  Being I was in school 25 years ago (gasp), no idea if they would allow the doors to remain unlocked today to do the same.

I think we're making up for those four days right now. I'm pretty sure the storm drains got overwhelmed for a bit earlier because I was seeing geysers shooting up from random places. We're also only one county away from a tornado watch, and I'm counting 12 tornado warnings currently in effect as I type this.

The lowest high temperature observed on March 4 in Chicago is 17.  The high today is forecasted to be 3-5 degrees below that.  Chicago recorded its 17th below-zero temperature ever observed, at -3°F this morning.  It's a record-setting late season brand of cold.  Our average high now is 41, and I don't remember the last time we got to 40.  We also had NO warm spells since October--usually we at least get a few anomalies that take us into the 50s or 60s during the winter.  We've had a record-setting lack of such warm spells too, if that makes sense.

Predictions of snow on Thursday have gone from <1 inch to 3—5 inches. After the last flop of a snowstorm, I'm curious to see if it holds this time.

Of course, it's not like it's going to matter. It's supposed to get above freezing over the weekend, possibly even into the 40s.

Be nice if you added that to one of your posts instead of saying the temp and sky condition at the post time every day

Do something like this ---> "26 and sunny, trending colder over the past 3 days but finally some warmth in the coming days". It'll add more depth to the post and make it actually look like you're not just posting to pad your count

Do you ever see three of your own posts in a row and wonder if posting is really necessary?
There is a trend. The weather is getting colder.

As if that matters. We all know you are going to post regardless of what happens.

Finally have some average temperatures this week, upper 40s and lower 50s. I think we can say goodbye to the teens and 20s for highs at least until next December.

Seattle set a new record high for winter and March. All of this only weeks after one of our largest snowstorms in recent memory.

Combining the sunshine with a lack of real pollution made for some pretty views.

Not as warm as Seattle, apparently. Clear skies and 39 to start us off this morning

We actually had quite a swing today. My house (in suburban Pierce County) woke up around 32, but ended up just short of Seattle's high (around 77 here).

I was going to presume hail, but that's like no hail I've seen before.

Meanwhile, in the Great Southern Pennsylvania Rainforest...
-Clear/partly cloudy for three days (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday), highs in the 50s
-Cloudy and rainy for three days (Friday, Saturday, Sunday), highs in the 70s; Sunday has a high of 52
-Back to sunny on Monday; high of 49

Mmm, delicious climate change.

Yeah, that would be the softest/most mushy hail I've ever seen. Watching the video again, it kind of just looks like some really intense rain/snow mixture. Hard to say without having been there, though.

Because of the storm and severe weather, it was most likely hail.  It probably formed within the clouds, then once it became too heavy it fell to the ground.

Sleet would've started falling as snow.  While possible, it was a fairly warm day.  The leading edges of the storm probably would've been snow as well if this was sleet.

The end result of either: It's icy balls.  Good sleet/hail storms can have an accumulation before it melts.

I was going to go with graupel, which is just a fancy word for snow pellets. It's fairly common in cold-weather convective storms, such as thunderstorms and lake-effect snow showers. The mechanics for forming it are somewhat similar, but hail is much harder. The precip in that video was falling apart as it hit the windshield, which likely rules out sleet (ice pellets) or hail. But the distinction is subtle with smaller hail, and in fact the same METAR code (GS) is used to describe both. Larger hail gets the GR code.

Just something I thought I'd share, this is from the rain that occurred on Friday evening here.  It rained pretty much from the moment I left the grocery store to when I got home (so less than 10 minutes), and the rainbow came just in time for me to get my camera!  To be fair, it was raining some time earlier in the day that day, but I don't have a window at my desk at work, so I don't know when exactly.

It reached 76 degrees in Dover today.  I went up to Wilmington's Brandywine Park (my favorite place in all of Delaware) and saw the cherry blossoms starting to bloom.  The blossoms at the Governor's House in Dover are pretty close to peak bloom.

The last day of March and it's a high of -2C (29F) and a low of -8C (17F)! We got a couple cm of heavy snow last night; it wasn't nice to wipe all the snow off my car late last night to drive home, and then dealing with low visibility. Next week will be up in the 12-14C (53-58F) range, so that'll be nice.

Cloudy and 67 right now, should creep up a little higher into the low 70s.

But as this is Atlanta in April, the important number isn't the temperature, it's the pollen count. That has mercifully fallen to about 1600 this morning, only just barely into the "extremely high" range. Yesterday's reading of 6200+ was the highest we've seen in six years and turned the mere act of breathing into a constant chore, even indoors.

After a drizzly and unseasonably cold Saturday (a high of 50 degrees; the average low this time of year is 53), we've quickly reverted back to warm sunshine. 72 degrees today at lunchtime with a high of 80, and pretty much expected to stay that way all this week.

Currently under a tornado watch here.  71 degrees with 16mph winds according to NWS.  It just started to downpour about 5 minutes ago.

The weather here was pretty interesting today.  We had a few downpours in the morning (9am-11am) and then it was sunny, but as I was leaving work around 4:30pm, there were some dark clouds approaching.

High of 70 °F predicted for today, and 74 °F tomorrow, then back into the sublime 60s for the start of next week. Lots of rain in that forecast, too, starting tomorrow.

I have a strong dislike for hot weather. A temperature of 75 degrees is the definitive spot where I start to be uncomfortable, with my preference for temps being between 60 and 70 degrees, both inside and out. I settle for 70—75 inside during the summer, though, on account of electricity cost.

Same here, I'm probably weird in that I prefer temps in the 50s to temps in the 80s. Anything in the 60s is great, while anything in the 70s is usually OK as long as it's not stifling or excessively humid.

I mostly prefer 80s-90s because it gets me out. 50s and below keeps me inside, or force me to get all dressed up before going out.

If you talk to a lot of Seattleites, they'll go on and on about how much they prefer the colder weather. But there sure seems to be a lot more people out walking and biking during warm weather. It's "cool" here to like rainy/clouds/cool weather, but we're all human...being warm is a natural preference. Being hot? Not sure how many people are truly hot at 80 or even 90. At least those that are in good shape. If you're fat, I could see a preference for colder weather.

The only time that I'm annoyed by hot weather is at night when I'm in DC. Unlike Seattle (the climate I'm used to), the temp doesn't readily drop when the sun does. It can get rather annoying when it's 9:30 PM and it's still 85 and humid as hell. But even then, that's only the case when I'm at DC United games. Otherwise, I'm near AC and I can figure things out.

Sunny and warm days are made nicer if they're more spread out and not an oppressive, months-long process. Lack of air conditioning in our homes also means that the cold is a friend.

In my case just the opposite. Anything in the 50s and 60s is great outdoors weather. I wouldn't even consider "dressing up" to go outside at 50 - I actually found the thought of doing so mildly amusing - while at 80+ I'd probably rather be inside in the AC than go out at all. It really depends on context whether I will legitimately be "hot" at 80 degrees. With the sun behind clouds and a nice breeze blowing, probably not. But with no wind and the sun beating down, almost certainly yes.

Two factors are that this area tends to have high humidity, and I'm in OK but definitely not the greatest physical shape.

Agree. Temperatures in the 50s are still t-shirt and shorts weather (edit: if it's calm and not windy/raining), especially if I'm planning on being active.

I'm like you, webny99.  People here will complain that it's "too cold" to go without a jacket unless it's at least 65, but I won't wear one starting at around 50-55 (ostensibly because I lived in New England or Northeastern PA for most of my life)...and then I feel too hot when it's at least 75 (without a cloud in the sky) to 80 (with clouds/breeze).  The only real advantage to that hot weather is that it's reasonable if I can go to the beach that day, but otherwise it's just painful.

I have been lucky, growing up in homes that have had AC. My opinion on hot weather may be different if that weren't the case. One of the primary arguments against hot weather is that you can escape the cold with a jacket, but you can't necessarily escape the heat (you can only remove so much clothing!). But if you have AC, you can effectively escape the heat.

If it means anything, I did grow up in suburban Pierce County, well away from the water. Summer temps in the 80s and 90s seem to be a bit more common down here than up north. It's entirely possible that I've developed a higher tolerance for heat than people in your neck of the woods.

For the record, "all dressed up", to me, means putting on warmer clothes than what is normally comfortable to wear around the house. Switching into jeans, putting on a light jacket, putting on shoes instead of something you can slip on like flip-flops, etc. In summer weather, indoor and outdoor clothing is virtually the same.

Check out these polls I can find online:

http://www.city-data.com/forum/weather/1820857-what-temperature-can-you-comfortably-wear.html
https://community.babycenter.com/post/a56408845/temperature_and_shorts_poll
https://weather.com/news/news/how-hot-is-too-hot-survey

In the first two, we can see a strong preference for shorts starting in the 70s. The last link is "how hot is too hot". According to the poll, the Upper Midwest is the least tolerable, with people becoming uncomfortable at 85. Either way, that's still a ways up there, and right about in line with what I would consider to be ideal.

My only point with these polls is to point out that, while my preference may seem odd to you guys, it's more normal than you may realize.

^ I wasn't claiming to be average or normal, or doubting that you are. :D

I am not at all surprised that the upper bound of comfortable is lowest in the Upper Midwest. It is both northerly (meaning lower average temps) and humid (thanks to the Great Lakes). This can be an oppressive combo when the heat kicks in. And yeah, Upstate NY is a much better fit with the likes of Michigan and Minnesota than the Northeast in this regard. I'm sure the trend would be even stronger - possibly even pulling the average below 80 degrees - if the poll only included those living within 200 miles of a Great Lake.

Something tells me that, in virtually every part of the country, the tolerance goes up as the season goes on. 80 may feel hot in Buffalo in April or May, because it's been snowing or really cold for four months, but I bet that it starts to feel downright chilly at 75 by early September, assuming there's a slight breeze and lowish humidity, after months of humid, hot days.

AC in homes is definitely a newer feature in Northwestern architecture. Most homes (especially those before the housing booms since the 1980s) were able to be cooled with a decent breeze and staying away from windows with the afternoon/evening sun. With climate change, those days are long gone, so AC is definitely a requirement.

Seattle has a pretty mild urban heat island compared to what other metro areas have, perhaps aided by the amount of street and urban trees, the geography, and the water. Usually, our temperatures at the extreme north are only a few degrees (<3 F at a time) cooler than Seattle's on a given day...but I am also set back a bit from the water and benefit from living in  a small, shallow valley.

The difference due to climate change has been about 2°F. I would think that being on the coast vs. 40 miles from the coast would have a much larger difference.

Yeah!  :)
It was amusing in the context of me being from the Great Lakes, thus being used to long/cold winters, and you being from the Pacific Northwest. In the same way that I'm amused by the reaction to snow in Georgia or Tennessee. Not because I think you're describing abnormal behavior, just because normal varies from place to place.

Yes, agreed. A month ago, 50 degrees would have felt like summer and everyone would have been rushing outdoors with shorts and a t-shirt. In October, 50 degrees will feel like winter, and it won't seem weird to put on a light jacket to go outside.

Not going to lie, people say "snowstorm" when referring to anything more than 1 inch of snow.  In Dover, a snow route (https://www.google.com/maps/@39.1615245,-75.5265769,3a,15y,313.74h,85.42t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sBQoeO0RwSHl9eRyib14rYQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656) is declared after ONE HOUR of snowfall.

There were sleet and icing issues on I-90/Massachusetts Turnpike late this morning in the Berkshire areas of the road. Speed was down to as little as 30 MPH from the New York state line to maybe mile marker 44. I think that's to or near Exit 3 in Westfield, MA (US 202/MA 10).

It was about 69 or 70 degrees in New Britain, CT on Saturday. Today? I don't think it ever got above 45 for a daytime high. We've also picked up at least another 8/10 inch of rain we don't need. Safe to say that the trees exploded around here in the last week. A couple of maple trees look like mid-July already.

Yesterday was totally feasible as a beach day in Delaware, I walked along the water at Slaughter Beach and the water felt fine.  Air temperature was about 70-75 degrees.

Today, it rained all day and I only left my apartment to take the trash out.  I checked and the temperature was about 55 (which is actually my ideal temperature, but with the rain not my ideal weather).  Average for this time of year is about 75.

Here in Salt Lake, after a few days in the 80s, it's supposed to be windy and warm today with highs in the 70s. Cold front comes later today and there's a marginal risk of severe thunderstorms for this evening. Following that, a series of storm systems will bring rain every day for at least the next 7 days, with highs dropping to the 50s (yes, that means snow in the mountains).

The temperature here reached 91 degrees today. Downright unnatural.

That's crazy. I wish the ski resorts could reopen for massive spring storms, but I don't think they can since all the ski patrol and lifties are part time.

Snowbird, Utah stays open on weekends as long as there’s snow. Most years there’s enough snow to open into mid/late May, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they stayed open into June this year given the recent weather patterns. After the massive 2010-11 winter, they were open as late as July 4th.

That is so late, it is actually the following ski year (which I consider to start July 1st), akin to the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season which ended on "Undecimber" (January 2006). Ski resorts in my area close no later than late April, due to a combination of lower altitude and a warmer climate.

For once, we've been having some exciting weather here in Salt Lake. A severe thunderstorm watch (https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/watch/2019/ww0337.html) has been in effect for most of the afternoon/evening, with several severe thunderstorm warnings in the area through the course of the day. They started out as individual storms out on the west deserts with more of a hail risk, but then organized into a line with damaging winds as they moved east. There's also been a few non-severe storms with plenty of lightning and rain.

Several reports of severe wind (58+ mph gusts), and a semi blew over on I-80 out west.

Things have settled down weather-wise here, after a weird spring that saw us get snow on the last weekend of April. On a side note, when I drove past Granite Peak Ski Area in Wausau Memorial day weekend, there was quite a bit of snow still up on the mountain. Pretty unusual, but not that surprising since the mountain never really gets directly hit by the sun.

Yesterday in Salt Lake we had a marginal risk of severe thunderstorms (https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/archive/2019/day1otlk_20190613_2000.html), but it was more like a slight risk in terms of warnings and storm reports. The Salt Lake airport had a wind gust to 68 mph, so several flights were diverted to places like Boise, Twin Falls, Idaho Falls, or even Great Falls. Several other instances of severe winds and hail were observed across the region as well.

Some strong thunderstorms are possible again today, though the event looks to be a bit less significant than yesterday's.

Had a pretty lightning show this morning, from about 03:30—05:00, which was followed by a brief downpour. It's cooled off quite a bit, but that won't last, as it's also supposed to heat up today and lead to thunderstorms this afternoon. These storms are currently predicted to carry a risk of significant hail (2+ inch diameter hail), as depicted by the NWS hail outlook for today:

Edit: Never mind. In the latest NWS outlook, it seems that the storms and related systems this morning have greatly tempered the severe risk for later today. Talk about disappointment. :-/

Severe storms expected today from noon until about 5 (pretty early in the day for us). Showers to continue into the evening. Expected high of 70 before the storms move in.

62 tomorrow.

We may finally see our first 90 degree day late next week.

We had a cold front move through Salt Lake yesterday evening. It did bring a couple rain showers, but was much more notable for the temperature drop since it brought in some of the coldest mid-level temperatures observed at this time of year since the 1950s.

The low last night was 48, and it's 57 at the airport as I type this. It's only supposed to get up to 67 today, which will make this one of the coldest summer solstices ever in Salt Lake. But the cold won't last long; depending on exactly how the weather systems set up next week, we may hit our first 90 degree day around Tues/Wed next week. This will be one of our latest first 90 degree days ever; the average is June 3.

It's been very, very warm in DC since I arrived last week. Mid-90s earlier in the week made for some very uncomfortable walks around the District. Went to a water park yesterday, partly expecting some heat. Ended up being quite windy, though still low 80s.

Got a nice sunburn...not so comfortable today. Gorgeous weekend ahead, though! Mid-80s, relatively low humidity.

I saw a picture of Steamboat Springs recently, and it looks like there's more snow there now than there was when I went there in March. And this was a good year for skiing!

In Madison it's getting really hot, likely over 90 by next week. Good time to be up north, where it's a perfect sunny and 75 today.

Some areas near Steamboat (Rabbit Ears Pass) got about two feet.

We're actually supposed to be in the 90s (for the first time all year) by the end of this week. Average first 90-degree day is June 13.

Yes indeed. We have some close friends in Victor that we stayed with through last weekend. Some photos are on my Facebook profile (if you can see them...I don't remember my privacy settings).

I last visited in August 2011, and was treated to some excellent thunderstorms. But on this particular occasion, I quite enjoyed the drive back to DC, as it got progressively warmer and drier (though no more humid--it was raining in NY after all!)

I see. We did have heavy rain and flash flooding on Thursday, but the weekend turned out to be warm and mostly sunny, one of the best yet. Typically, March thru May are the months when the weather change is most noticeable as you head south. In your case, the change likely wasn't related to directionality and would have happened (though maybe not to the same extent) even if you stayed. Sorry you missed out on our more typical summer weather! :)

I too really enjoy the trip down to the capital region, at least between May and October! Despite my grumblings about US 15, it's a nice scenic route overall, and I eagerly await completion of the CSVT project.

I should specify that it was the weekend of 14-16 June, which IMO was spectacularly rainy, although it wasn't too cold. I've heard it's gotten a bit warmer, which is nice, though I'm guessing you're not a fan? :-D  It's true that it's not always related to latitudinal position, especially in the east, but it was certainly noticeable this time. Especially by Harrisburg.

US-15 is certainly far from the worst road I've driven, though it's not a great road either. Was very interesting to see how many homes butted right up to the road in parts (I think I saw some Pennsylvania Dutch and the occasional horse & buggy). I saw some half-built interchanges along the route, and wasn't sure exactly what they were for. Thanks for the tip! I look forward to a future drive myself.

OK, gotcha now. Yes, this past weekend was considerably nicer than the one prior!
I am certainly glad that sunshine and summer weather have arrived, but at the same time, I'm glad we don't have the 90+ degree temps common in the DC area.  :)

On the whole, I agree. I actually would consider nominating the stretch from Williamsport north to the NY line as among the better roads I've driven, especially in the Northeast. It's scenic, relatively new construction, built to a high standard, has some curvature and grades but not excessive, and a 70 mph speed limit, unheard of in NY, so a nice change for me!

Shamokin Dam, OTOH... definitely among the worst roads and probably one of the highest truck percentages on a surface street in the country.

After staying abnormally cool for most of the month, we finally broke 90 for the first time this year yesterday and the high today was 95. Not terrible when the dewpoints are in the mid-30s, but still not comfortable. It's also been fairly windy the past few days.

Luckily relief is in sight. It appears some moisture from Tropical Storm Alvin will be pulled into the interior west in a monsoon-like pattern, which will give us a chance for some showers and thunderstorms over the weekend primarily in mountain areas. The main concern will probably be wind for Saturday's storms, shifting to more of a heavy rain threat for Sunday.

YES! That area was terrible. I very nearly slit my wrists driving through that town. Finishing that obvious stub would be a massive improvement. I remember pointing out the US-15 stub to my mother as an example of how freeways funds dried up in some areas of the country, especially in the rust belt. No idea there was an actual plan to extend it.

After staying abnormally cool for most of the month, we finally broke 90 for the first time this year yesterday and the high today was 95. Not terrible when the dewpoints are in the mid-30s, but still not comfortable. It's also been fairly windy the past few days.

Wow. Even Seattle, which normally registers around four 90+ days each year, registered a 95 degree reading a couple weeks ago, and summer only just started.

Enduring a heat wave here, like most of Europe. Yesterday we had a high of 105, and today's high is going to be even higher! At least it will start to cool down on Sunday...

This afternoon, around 5pm, I was coming home from the beach and was in the middle of a severe thunderstorm along DE-1 between Exit 83 (South Frederica) and Exit 91 (Kitts Hummock/south side of Dover AFB).  It was absolutely downpouring and at points too difficult to see to drive safely (I had to pull into the shoulder twice).

I always find the temperature changes to be interesting in those storms.  When I left Dover at 1:30 and when I left Lewes around 4:30, the temperature (according to my car) was 93 degrees.  After the storm, it was 68 degrees.

Yesterday was our hottest day of the year so far, with a high of 96. The good news is we get a bit of a break, with highs only in the 80s for the next few days. There will also be a bit of moisture present, so we have a marginal risk of severe thunderstorms today and tomorrow. Main threat appears to be severe wind gusts -- just in time for July 4th fireworks.

We have an interesting 4th of July forecast.  We have a 45% chance of rain/thunder until 7pm.  Dover's fireworks, I think, start at 9:30pm.

Still a 50% chance of thunderstorms this afternoon, but I went for a bike ride this morning towards Little Creek (nearest town on the Delaware Bay to Dover, about a 5 mile ride).  It was pretty hazy here at 7:30am, but that's fairly typical for this time of year in Delaware.  A local weather station (Hidden Oaks on Weather Underground, in Downtown Dover) reported 81 degrees as the temperature with a 76 degree dewpoint at this time.

The photo was taken on South Little Creek Road, but I did ride both yesterday morning.  However, I'd never ridden North Little Creek Road until yesterday and realized that there's no shoulder (at least east of Route 1 - yes, I've driven on it before, but it's such a rare occurrence), so I went down Fox Road to get back to South Little Creek.

I left Dover in 1981, b4 rt1 was built. I remember how jammed 13 was during the summer. Then Bay Rd was just as bad where the 4 lane ended south of the DAFB main gate then the slog thru Little Heaven to the 4 lane at Frederica. sigh, good times :spin:

Take it. I don't understand what's wrong with today's weather: mid-70s, sunny? Dry heat, open window perfect for cooling.

I don't want sun every day, but I like our local balance: clouds/rain in the fall and winter, sunnier and drier weather in spring and summer. Year-round rain seems like the kind of thing that an ultra pro-Seattle type of person would support, only because they have to (because rain defines us, frankly), not because it's nice.

Though hot, humid air, which causes those hot and sticky temperatures, is also what ends up causing afternoon thunderstorms. The East coast has some natural relief from hot temps. Pacific Coast? Not so much.

Around here, the Puget Sound generally keeps it from getting into the 90s. Until we get an eastern or southern wind.

Thing is, you can’t get a thunderstorm from moisture alone. A lot of times, even with very high humidity at the ground, what will happen is there’s a “cap” of stable air in the mid-levels of the atmosphere preventing storm development, and the cap is only broken if some sort of lifting mechanism is present. If not, you’ll get a vast area of hot, humid air without so much as a cloud in the sky.

That's pretty much what happened the last couple days here: hot, humid air and few or no clouds.

The cap finally broke today, though! Two severe storms have passed through and dropped the temperature a ton. It finally dipped below 70°F for the first time in several days!

This is kind of what I was thinking. You can have a day or two of really hot, humid temperatures, but it is eventually relieved by a cold-front. In the case of Florida or sometimes the Mid-Atlantic and South, you can get some afternoon thunderstorms during those really hot, humid days. High temps and humidity alone will not cause a storm, of course (you need a cold-front or something), but it's an essential part of thunderstorm formation. It's also something that is relatively unusual out west. The west coast is a pretty dry heat, but the mountains here are usually what cause our thunderstorms (being that "lifting" mechanism).

Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, CT (BDL) reached 100 F/38 C around 2 PM EDT on Sunday, July 21st. It was their first 100 degree reading in 7 years. The other airport stations in Connecticut (i.e Brainard Airport [HFD] in Hartford, Meriden-Markham, Waterbury-Oxford, etc.) were no higher than 98 F/37 C.

Hartford was "only" 98 F/37 C the day before. However, the dew point was even higher at the time. Parts of inland Connecticut had the so-called heat index pushing 110 F/43 C.

The all-time Connecticut heat record is 106 F/41 C. That was set in Danbury in July of 1995, topping the previous Waterbury record by 1 degree F.

It's very hot today in Salt Lake, where a rare Heat Advisory (https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/vtec/#2019-O-NEW-KSLC-HT-Y-0001/USCOMP-N0Q-201907221800) is in effect. After reaching a high of 103 today, we're expecting a low in the mid 70s tonight and then a high of 101 tomorrow.

The good news is that relief is coming after tomorrow, in the form of a monsoon moisture surge from the south. The bad news is that initially, these storms will be dry, so the wind and lightning will result in a serious fire weather risk. As the week goes on and more moisture enters the area, the storms will transition to more of a flash flood threat.

The other new kid is helping keep me from the record. I don't want it anyway.

Some of the threads that link to monthly blogs or photo albums have quite a lot of posts by the same user in a row.

For example, this one (https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=12056). Note all the merges.

After a relatively weak start to monsoon season, we had one of the biggest storms I've seen in quite some time today. A few showers moved through this morning and brought in some positively steamy air (dewpoints in the mid-60s), and then a huge line of thunderstorms hit the Wasatch Front this evening. Although there were a few severe thunderstorm warnings and wind reports, the big story with the storm was flooding. SR 210 and US 6 are closed due to massive mudslides and may not reopen for days, while US 89 is open to alternating traffic. Several search-and-rescue operations are currently underway as well.

Tomorrow might have some more thunderstorms, although they shouldn't be anything like what happened today. After that, it's back to typical hot and dry weather, with highs in the mid-90s.

Yikes! Was not the bad up here. No Monsoon-related thunderstorms in the Seattle area, but the eastern half of the state was dealing with some pretty major storms, which originated from a low, that itself originated from a monsoon (in that order, I believe). No flooding out there, as far as I know.

That's why I get up at 4:30 AM for a good distance run, 65-70F is infinitely more tolerable than 100-110F.  107F in Fresno today, made worse by all the farmers turning their crops and kicking dirt into the air everywhere.  That 73F in Lompoc and Santa Barbra from two days ago is sorely missed already.

During off season practices throughout summer break I started running around 6 AM. Now that the season has started I start at 3PM.The humidity is unbearable here. They could have practice before school, but personally I would rather run in the heat then get up and go to school almost two hours early every day.

Personally I've always liked the runners high early in the day.  Especially on work days (which is when I run 90% of the time) getting a good run in followed by 35-40 minutes lifting can really make a difference in terms of being in a good mood.  I used to run and lift at night but I always felt run down after work or even school back in those days.  There is something also night about being out in the dark for a solid 90-120 minutes when nobody else is around that is kind of peaceful.

84° F here (Wichita) right now, expected high of 93° F, supposed to be 101° F on Tuesday.  I think we have had only seven 100° F days so far this season, unlike 2011 when we had 52 total, but in terms of humidity this has been an intensely unpleasant summer, with evening dewpoints generally around 75° F.

The strong storms we were expecting did come and became severe with some flash flooding...at least over central Denver and Aurora. Down south, in Parker, we got some rain and lots of thunder and lightning, but that was about it.


Took the train home from work, and got hailed on downtown, then by the time I got to my truck, it was dry with a dry commute until right after I got home.

Similar here in Dover, but last night we did see some storms (with flashes of lightning lighting up my whole apartment for an hour or two late at night).  Looks like we have some dark clouds rolling in now, with temperatures dropping into the high 70s! :biggrin:

I've always found this defense of meteorologists to be pretty weak.  The fact of the matter is that they forecast the weather and rest upon their best guess given their modeling.  That goes for any science that rests upon multivariate regression analysis, actually.  Doesn't change the fact that meteorologists' best guesses are still wrong an unacceptable amount of the time; in other sciences, we'd blame incomplete variables or bad data.

And. as I just found out in Newfoundland this past week, they didn't get it right once even within half a day up there, if not within an hour :D.  Also found it interesting that the weather radar from the Weather Channel was actually incorrect in real time up there, too (e.g., showing it wasn't raining where I was when it definitely was and would be continuing to do so for a while -- forecasts were for no precip, I assume based partially on what the radar showed).

80% chances happen 80% of the time. You should expect them to be wrong some of the time. If "80%" is only 60% in reality (over a long period of time), they're definitely doing something wrong, but I don't think this is happening.

The thing is, I don't believe this is true. I have yet to see evidence in support of this idea.

Edit: And I'm not going to. What counts as "unacceptably" wrong is going to be up to the individual. And as I've seen in this sub-forum, what counts as unacceptably wrong for some people is an unrealistically high bar for accuracy.

Glorious morning. After temperatures in the 90s all week, it was 63° when I got up this morning and it's still only 75° at 11:13. I set the AC to a higher temperature so it won't run and opened up some windows to get some fresh air circulating, although I hear several neighbors have their AC running and it's noisy enough that I'll have to close the window to make a phone call at 11:30.

It's a rainy morning but as a result the temperature is a pleasant 67 degrees. Southern MO just had a heatwave and my school district told my Cross Country team it was unsafe to practice in the afternoons, so we moved our practices to the morning temporarily.  I'm generally not a morning person, but the cooler weather was worth it.  :coffee:

My mother (up in Arlington) is particularly happy about this. Her AC up and quit last week, and she's been in misery since. Finally today, it's back down to a reasonable temperature. Good thing too, since I'll be back in DC this Monday, and I don't want to be sleeping in a sweatbox (and the new AC doesn't arrive until Wednesday, so the choice wouldn't be mine).

Doesn't change the fact that meteorologists' best guesses are still wrong an unacceptable amount of the time

The thing is, I don't believe this is true. I have yet to see evidence in support of this idea.

^this, please show data
They couldn't get it right for 13 days while I was on vacation, like I said.

Predictions of snowfall in my area are also pretty lousy.

Pfft.  Nate Silver has been doing damage control ever since he totally botched the election coverage.  538 itself blared its 95+% probability that Clinton would win right up front on its page.  There was no tempering for standard errors and the like in its presentation of the polling data. And now he takes the pious stance that the media doesn't interpret data correctly?  What a hypocrite.

Are you for real? If you'd even bothered to read the article, you'd have been reminded that they only estimated a 70 percent chance of her victory. I also remember that FiveThirtyEight was the most uncertain of all the estimates that day.

And yes, the media does a shit job putting out statistics. The misinterpretations, and frankly, stupidity, I see here wrt weather are proof enough of that.

Wait a second. You must be thinking of someone else. They certainly did not blare Clinton's 95% chances on their front page. They gave Clinton approximately a 70% chance, Trump a 30% chance, on election day. Which is actually the whole point of the probability discussion. Sure, they were wrong, but they were less wrong than everyone else precisely because their model accounted for standard errors, takes into account that errors in one state may mean similar errors in similar states, etc., so they were a lot less confident in Clinton than everyone else. They had even written that there was a higher-than-normal chance of an EC/PV split in Trump's favor - which is exactly what happened - and identified that Clinton had several EC weaknesses. Both narratives that the media ignored completely.

Obviously, it was a super close election, and everyone got it wrong, for the most part. But I think 538 did a really good job not only covering the election themselves, but also identifying what some of the big flaws in media coverage were when all the indicators pointed to a close race.

You're drinking the Nate Silver Kool-Aid.  He blew it big time and there was a mathematical crap stat they definitely came up with that had a 90%+ chance of a Clinton victory.  Their usual poll aggregation may have shown 70%, but they were crowing about a Clinton victory all along.  He's just as guilty as the rest.

Now we're right back where we started: [citation needed] regarding the 90-95% stuff. I have never heard such a thing.

Of course they were expecting and talking about a Clinton victory; so was everyone else, and not just the media. But it is to Nate's credit that he built a polls-based model that said 70%-30%, when all the major news outlets said 90%-10% and were covering the election as if Clinton had already won.

Despite the proximity of Hurricane Dorian, it is hot and dry here in Atlanta and is expected to stay that way for the next week or more, with highs in the mid 90s and lows around 70. Dewpoints are in the mid-60s, so it isn't unbearably muggy but certainly isn't a dry heat.

Strangely enough, some portions of central Georgia are under a high fire danger alert this afternoon due to Dorian. It looks like some winds will be affecting the area, but little to no rain is expected away from the coastal areas.

Meh. I'm very much on the substance side of the substance/quantity argument, which I guess should be pretty obvious, judging by my other posts in this thread.

To get back on topic: ever since the last thunderstorm rolled through here early Sunday morning, it has been that same kind of hot and humid. Currently 87 °F with a dewpoint of 69 °F, and similar temperatures are predicted for the rest of the week.

Meteorological fall is just the months of September through November. I prefer meteorological season definitions for the most part, because they (usually) correlate fairly well with the weather we’d expect of that season. Good luck getting fall weather on December 19.

Yep, at least in the US, Labor Day is widely accepted as the cultural end of summer/beginning of fall.

Use of the meteorological definitions (whole months) vs. the astronomical definitions (based on equinoxes/solstices) is mostly a matter of personal preference, which can be affected by your location as well.

Would I prefer June or September to be part of summer? IMO, a pure toss-up.
Would I prefer December or March to be part of winter? Again, a toss-up. December seems like the obvious choice, but fall can linger into early December, while many of our biggest snowstorms hit in March.

More likely than getting it on September 23, really. (Forecast high here is either 86 or 92, depending on which source I check.)

74 now at 9 AM, with a forecast high only in the mid-80s! That would make only the third day so far this month not reaching at least 95.

Obviously, we're talking about areas with regular winter weather. Georgia can be cold, but weather there in December is closer to something Seattle might see in September or October. For us, December is easily just as cold and snowy as January or February, and we've had plenty of winter weather events in November. The fact that many of those events have occured in "fall" is rather strange, from a human perspective.

Fall has finally arrived today for me, right on time. Temps aren't leaving the low to mid 80s anytime soon. With that there is plenty of rain and wind.

I don't know where you are (guessing southern California), but those temperatures would signal the arrival of summer in the Pacific Northwest, although the rain/wind is classic fall here too.

Our fall is in full-force here today...light drizzle, low 60s.

Record-breaking heat in Atlanta for the third time so far this month (high of 94, previous record 90). The big question now is whether we'll break our all-time record for most days in a year at or above 90 degrees. The record is 90 days, we're currently at 84 IIRC, and we're forecast to stay in the 90s through the middle of next week. Gonna be close, assuming they don't just return again in October.

Partly cloudy and 64, heading toward the upper 70s. Feels like fall. Finally. Back to the 80s over the weekend (upper 80s on Sunday), followed by an expected cool down in the middle of next week (mid 60s).

BTW, our average first snowfall is Oct 18. The first average freeze is Oct 7. I think we'll blow by the latter with no problem.

Should see a decent cool-down after Friday. If we're lucky, we'll also get some rain, but it won't be enough to get rid of our current severe drought.

They do tend to run a bit high, but in my experience major differences like your example above only occur when the car is first turned on. If you've been driving for a while it's usually accurate to within a few degrees or so.

Got up to 98 later this afternoon. Blech. Tomorrow’s high of 96 should be our last 90 degree day, which I believe will also break the record for most 90+ degree days in a year.

They're also sensitive to water.  Got caught in a downpour, and I saw my thermometer go from 97 to 74 almost instantaneously.  After driving away from it, it rebounded back up to 85 in a matter of a couple miles.

That's not the fault of the thermometer; it's actually that much cooler in heavy downpours. When rain falls, a portion of it evaporates, which takes in heat from the atmosphere and lowers the air temperature as a result. Of course, this will stop when the air becomes saturated and water doesn't evaporate anymore, at which point the temperature is equal to the dewpoint.

Of course it cools when it pours. But if the sensor itself gets wet, it's no longer measuring air temperature, but the air temperature plus the temperature of the raindrop, which is certainly less than the air temperature.

Lots of rain here, apparently.  I was driving back to Albany, going over the Erie Canal I was thinking "that looks a little high".  Getting to the part where the Canal is joined with the Mohawk River, I was thinking "that really looks high".  By this point, several low areas had visible ponding/flooding.  Getting past Canajoharie, the Mohawk had visibly overflowed its banks, and the new welcome center on the other side of the Thruway had flooded out.

Turns out the entire Capital District got 3-4 inches of rain in the past 24 hours.

Here in Atlanta, we got our first real rain in a long time earlier this week, but it was nowhere near enough to end our current drought. Most of Georgia remains in the D2 (severe) drought classification, with some areas mainly east and south of Atlanta in the D3 (extreme) category. The storm also brought in some cooler temperatures, with morning lows in the upper 40s and highs in the 60s.

Some more storms are on the way. We will probably see at least some rain from Potential Tropical Cyclone 16 (future Nestor?), though it will likely remain too far south and east for the metro area to see any major impacts. After that, a cold front will move into the area on Tuesday, which looks potentially more interesting for Atlanta with a possible threat of severe thunderstorms.

I was going the other way, and it's not like there was anywhere to stop.  The entire parking lot and ramps to/from the Thruway had flooded out and become part of the Mohawk River, with the ramp blocked off with cones and barriers.  You could see it from the other side of the road quite easily.  That spot where I first though the Canal looked high?  That was all the way back on I-490!

The bulk of the rain must have been mostly further east: nothing out of the ordinary in the Rochester area today. Wednesday and Thursday were wet, but today turned out to be mostly sunny and this evening is great: clear, crisp, light breeze.

Funny, after reading this, I guess I've subconsiously been wondering if the Canal was extra-high the last few times I've crossed there, too. I wonder if it's related to the rain this week, or if something else is going on.

This happened in a good chunk of Connecticut on October 29/30, 2011. Freakishly early heavy wet snow. Set the Connecticut record for power outages. I was in New Britain. Our lights flickered a couple of times, but did not go completely out. My sister, who lives elsewhere in the same city, lost her power for nearly 6 days.

The first real snowfall of the year is anticipated here tonight, albeit with less than a inch of total accumulation expected. (It rain/snowed here about a week ago, but it was too warm to accumulate.) The city of Des Moines was out spreading salt solution on the main thoroughfares in preparation for this.

More snow is also expected later this week.

No snow here, but some outlying areas of Seattle will be dipping well-below freezing overnight, for about the next week or so. Sunny basically every day, which is very welcome for fall (especially because it's not a hot, draining sun like in the summer).

This will be the first below-freezing Halloween for at least four or five years, IIRC. But it beats getting soaked.

Atlanta, on the other hand, is expecting a wet Halloween, with perhaps an inch or two of rain between Tuesday and Thursday. It'll also be warm (as always) with highs in the 70s and lows in the 60s – though we may be in for a bit of a shock on Friday morning with potentially the first 30s of the season making an appearance.

Tonight, though, is a fairly normal night for late October, maybe just a couple degrees warmer than average. Low 60s now, headed for the mid-50s by morning.

I remember this storm!  I was at South Windsor HS at the time and we had school cancelled for the entire week.  We ended up staying with my grandparents in PA for a week because of the power outage (my father's girlfriend lived in Manchester and she had power, and I heard reports of a handful of people in South Windsor having power).

So, it did stick, and we have about an inch on the ground now.

This is one of the weirdest beginnings to winter in my memory: it's usually much more gradual than this, and I've never known the first snow to arrive during the day. It always first comes as a morning surprise to wake up to a coating or inch or two, working into the real stuff gradually. Not this year! Started sticking during mid-afternoon. That's unusual for November period, much less this early in November.

I'd defer to Scott on Oklahoma City specifically.
However, I will say that temperature swings like that happen almost every day/night in the desert. It wouldn't be uncommon to be over 100 degrees during mid-afternoon and below 50 degrees by early morning. Even around here, going from 72 to 36 within 24 hours wouldn't be unheard of.

Denver probably takes the cake as far as the most brutal diurnal temperature range. But more Western cities have wider temperature ranges than east coast cities, at least in my experience. DC in the summer, for example, can still be brutally warm at night. Even the hottest days in Seattle (upper 90s) will see temps into the low 60s at night, often 50s. Los Angeles sees similar ranges. Accompanying that, any humidity will disappear after the sun sets. Visiting Disneyland in July, you'd be foolish not to bring a light jacket at night. Once that sun dips below the horizon, temperatures will start dropping. Fast.

No snow for the Connecticut River Valley yet. There were some areas to my north and west which had some wet flakes a few nights ago. Friday was windy and cold for November standards. It was quite windy and only about 36. Today it's maybe 2/3 clouds and 1/3 sun. A breeze at times, but up to at least 50 degrees.

Here in Atlanta, it's been quite warm today with highs in the upper 60s, but that's all coming to an end as a cold front makes its way into the area overnight. Unfortunately it's still too warm for anything frozen, so we're just going to get some cold rain although the north GA mountains could well see some ice and/or snow.

There's also a wind advisory for tomorrow afternoon, and then we drop into the mid to low 20s tomorrow night with wind chills likely in the teens.

Here in Atlanta, it's been quite warm today with highs in the upper 60s, but that's all coming to an end as a cold front makes its way into the area overnight. Unfortunately it's still too warm for anything frozen, so we're just going to get some cold rain although the north GA mountains could well see some ice and/or snow.

There's also a wind advisory for tomorrow afternoon, and then we drop into the mid to low 20s tomorrow night with wind chills likely in the teens.
That seems really chilly for Atlanta. Best of luck to not freeze  :sombrero:

Temps in the 20s aren't unheard of here, and usually happen at least a few times every winter. The first half of November is just a touch on the early side, though it looks like we did manage to stay a couple degrees above the record low this morning.

Only got up to about 45 or so today despite sunny skies; we've stabilized right around freezing at the moment, and with clouds expected to build in by morning we'll probably maintain about 30ish. Potential for some cold rain tomorrow, but staying too warm to develop into anything else.

41° F and rainy. Not torrential, but between light drizzle and moderate downfall throughout the night. I love the sound of the light rain hitting the rose bushes outside my bedroom window.


The low for tonight is 36° F, and it'll get up to 44° F tomorrow. Fall is in full swing here in St. Louis County.

I’m in Salt Lake for Thanksgiving, where a winter storm warning is in effect as a huge snowstorm looks to impact the area over the next few days. Valley floors should receive 5-10 inches, but amounts of up to 16 inches are possible on benches and towards the Idaho border region. Mountains will generally receive 1-3 feet, but some locations could see up to 4 feet of snow.

Benches, eh? That's not a term I've heard before. In the Seattle area, we prefer "foothills". Obviously there is regional variation; I quite like "benches"!

At first, I thought you meant actual benches, since they have open air below them and collect snow earlier on and don't melt as quickly.

Heh. I forget that isn't a common term elsewhere just because I've grown up with it. It's common usage here, to the degree that all the news stations and the NWS use it in their forecasts.

At any rate, nothing that fell yesterday stuck, but the skies opened up last night. We've had 11 inches since last night and it's still dumping, with even more snow expected through Saturday. Might mix in with some rain tonight, which would make the roads an icy hell tomorrow when it gets colder.

The Albany, NY area, as well as western Massachusetts and Northern New England, are digging out from a storm that hit Sunday-Tuesday of this week. Albany got 22.6 inches, the 4th-largest December storm accumulation on record and 8th-largest storm period. Where I am, we got about that. It's possible that this snow will remain through the spring in parts of the region.

Yikes. Must've significantly picked up in intensity as it moved east. We only got about six inches, the sun is shining, and the roads are completely clear. It's the exact inverse of a typical early-season storm: usually it's Buffalo that gets hammered, while eastern parts of the state get off easy. I don't think a state of emergency would have been declared for 22 inches in WNY!  ;-)

In many ways, it's the inverse of just about every winter storm.  Even the Adirondacks got less snow than the Capital District.  About the only thing about it that was typical is that the hilltowns got more snow than the valley, and even that is to a lesser degree than normal.

Increasing intensity as one drove east is right.  Rochester-Utica was fine when I was driving back to my apartment.  Utica-Amsterdam was harder.  Amsterdam east saw conditions deteriorate and it was truly some of the scariest winter driving I've ever done.  Got stuck several times on the town roads.  It was a far cry from the foot over 48 hours that had been forecast - we got close to double that!

We had quite a day for weather here in ATL. Most of the day was cloudy with on/off rain and temperatures in the lower 70s. A tornado watch was issued at about 2 PM this afternoon; 3 hours later we got a couple severe thunderstorm warnings as an impressive squall line moved through, bringing some high wind gusts, heavy rain, and some thunder and lightning. No tornadoes touched down in GA as far as I know, but there are multiple reports of thunderstorm wind damage and the line is still continuing off to the east.

Should cool off a bit after today, but more rain is in the forecast for tomorrow into the first half of next week.

I decided to wait on this fire report until now, as I had to take a quick walk down the road and back before I could figure out the potential causes and effects of it.

There was a three-alarm Fire in the under-construction Fusion rental apartment complex right behind this development area here, and it managed to spread to an adjoining area where people do live and that was definitely a cause for concern. Needless to say, nothing could stop the fire in its tracks and that's why they finally have a temporary fire station by the Town Center area.

Tacoma and the south sound has managed to avoid almost all of the snow, apart from a dusting Monday night and Tuesday morning.

Port Angeles with their 18-22 inches is nuts.

Paradise (south side of Mt Rainier) has also received about 100 inches of snow since the New Year:

I got back to CT late last night, after driving from Memphis.

Lots, and lots of rain.   Lots of hydroplaning too.

It might be easier to answer, "what isn't my weather?"

Earlier in the week we had sunshine and record highs reaching the mid-70s.

Yesterday we got 4 inches of rain.

Today was mostly cloudy and cold, with a brief wintry mix including some snow flurries this morning.

And now the north half of metro Atlanta (including me) is under a winter weather advisory for tomorrow morning with potentially up to an inch of snow. As always, there's the possibility very high likelihood that the temperature will stay just warm enough for us to get much nastier stuff instead.

We got a similar warm streak here that just ended as well due to a severe line of storms that tracked through the area but didn't exactly hit us.

Just a big drop in pressure?

Yesterday, Utica and points west got a decent ampunt of snow.  Some sections of hardpack ice on the Thruway around Amsterdam and west of Fort Plain (WB traffic was going at a crawl's pace due to both lanes being sheet ice; EB, left lane was okay).

We apparently missed the worst of it. Syracuse got a foot yesterday, we got 5 inches.

Granted, between Wednesday night and this morning, we still have around a foot, just came in three doses instead of one.

Eh, it didn't look like a foot yesterday when I left Syracuse at 4.  Another band would have had to come through after that to bring it up to a foot.

I did get some snow, but not really any measurable accumulation. It started around 9:15 this morning and then kept toggling back and forth between snow and rain about every 20 minutes for a few hours. All of it was washed away or otherwise melted by mid-afternoon.

Some portions of the northern part of the metro area measured as much as 4-6 inches, though. Pretty substantial for us, but no significant problems since it hit on the weekend.

We expect to get four (or more) straight days with snowfall in January

Well, we couldn't do it in January, so we do it in February instead! Today, February 9th, is our fourth straight morning of waking up to measurable snowfall. At this rate, it should be a cinch to maintain our spot and close the season out atop the "Snowiest US Cities" rankings (https://goldensnowglobe.com/current-top-10-snowiest-cities/).

Notice I said should be a cinch. That's not accounting for Syracuse, the Kansas City Chiefs of the snowfall derby, with Lake Ontario playing Pat Mahomes. No doubt Syracuse will climb back to the top, as they always do. It's just a question of when.

Will it be:
The Texans version (it happens before Valentines Day), the Titans version (it's close but they run away with it in March) or the Super Bowl version (they let us pad our lead before going wild in April)?

We'll just have to wait and see! Winter at its finest!  :coffee:

After a warm and dry January, which lasted until Feb 2, February has seen three rounds of snow, probably a total of 10" or so, and (with the exception of this past Sunday) it's been cooler than normal. More snow is expected overnight tonight.

Schools in the metro area are closing or being delayed tomorrow due to weather. That happens sometimes in February, of course, but the weird thing about this one is that it'll be about 50 degrees or so.

Round after round after round of heavy rain (and, since these are the northern counties, probably some melting snow from the weekend) is causing widespread flooding, leading to the closures. Fortunately, after today, rain is only in the forecast for 7 of the next 9 days.

I was out in Carrollton over the weekend, so I missed the Great 2020 Atlanta Snowstorm. There wasn't really any snow out there, just a brief period of light freezing rain on Saturday morning. More interesting to me was the dense freezing fog that moved in later that night.

Anyway, now I'm back in Atlanta, where I got absolutely soaked walking outside this afternoon. In addition to all the rain and flooding concerns, we're now looking at a potential severe weather threat for both tomorrow and Wednesday.

This didn't happen, and all we got was just a whole lot of rain. The sun made an appearance Friday and yesterday, but it's gone once again today as we enter another period of fog, clouds, and rain with maybe a slight chance of a thunderstorm. I don't expect to see the sun again until Friday. Some models had previously suggested the possibility of a snow event here on Thursday, but the more recent runs have backed off that idea significantly.

This morning would absolutely blow your mind if you're from the South or Southwest.
By our standards, it was a total whiff on the part of the snow maintenance / removal crews. With less than an inch of snow in the forecast and public schools all on vacation, the roads hadn't been touched. By commute time this morning, as snow totals climbed upwards of 2 inches and it was still below freezing, the roads were a disaster: completely covered, and slippery as heck. Over the course of three miles on the freeway, we saw five cars in the ditch! It was a truly nail-biting commute. Easily the worst the roads have been all season.
By 8:30 the snow has slowed down, and it warms up a few degrees. On the road again at 11:30 and the roads are 100% completely clear, a bit wet but no trace of snow, not even between the lanes on the freeway. And not just the freeways either - even the local roads and the neighborhood streets are as clean as they were last night! A truly wild turnaround. I honestly can't remember anything quite like it.

I know if 3 inches happened in other parts of the country, it would take days to get the roads completely clear, basically waiting for the snow to melt would be faster than relying on the snow removal crews.

In early April 2016 we had the craziest weather day I may ever see. It was 5-10 minute increments of blizzard conditions and sub-freezing temps, followed by 15-20 minute periods of perfect sunshine and temps in the 40s, in which the snow would quickly melt. All day.

That would be helpful.  Here are the inches of snow for February to date at the Tahoe area ski resorts and a few to the south, with nothing else expected until the weekend.

(https://i.imgur.com/YBPfZYM.jpg)

Those numbers should be close to 100 inches and I think some of them were in the 200-inch vicinity in February 2019.

Rochester was (still is?) at #1 atop the leaderboard for winter '19-'20 snowfall for major US cities, thanks to a snowy November. Around 100 inches is our season average, and I believe we've had around 75 inches to date.

But then we've had two or three bitter cold snaps with single digits and sub-zero wind chills. And we did have snow on the ground for the entire month of February, which is somewhat rare to go that long without a major thaw.

On balance, I guess it hasn't been particularly mild, but certainly more manageable than other years. Only one nail-biter commute so far, and the roads were completely clear by noon that day.

We had a cold spell in November it got down below zero a few nights. Then it warmed back up and no snow until January, then it kept melting and snowing again after the melt. We haven't had any snow in the ground in over a month.

I know up in Yooper Country they still have snow especially around the Huron Mountains and Keweenaw Peninsula. Houghton and Hancock get over 200 inches a year.

Yep, and it was a lot more than they had forecast originally. Here in Salt Lake, we got an inch or two of snow on Tuesday night and then a more substantial amount Wednesday night and Thursday. I had around 6 inches when all was said and done - and no winter weather advisory was ever issued for this (normal criteria for that is 3 inches). Some mountain areas got nearly 3 feet, but of course nobody should be skiing on it as resorts are closed and avalanche danger is quite high in the backcountry.

Most of the snow in the valleys has already melted off, and with highs in the 40s and sun in the forecast it’ll likely all be gone by the weekend. There’s a chance of a few light showers tomorrow morning and Monday, and then we’re looking at a week of partly cloudy skies with temps in the 50s.

I am told it's 88 degrees outside right now here in the Atlanta area, which seems slightly excessive for March. I'm also not going outside to verify that, because today's pollen count is nearly 6000 and my sinuses may very well rupture if I so much as open the door.

Weather is one of those things that people aren't thinking about much amidst the current crisis, but a snow-free March and what seems to be an early spring has been such an incredible blessing. It would be the talk of the town any other year: we've certainly never had a snow-free March in my lifetime, and in fact March almost always drops a big bomb with a foot or more of snow, so not to have that to worry about has been so nice but gone largely untold.

Temps are now in the 60s and expected to crest at around 65 on Thursday. It's finally spring.

March 2020 was actually colder than January 2020 for the Seattle area.

It certainly seems that way. I had my window open several days in March after some vigorous workouts, but it got drafty real quick. I don't remember having that same problem in January.

Then again, I don't recall opening my window much in January since it basically rained non-stop.

First taste of summer yesterday and today here in east-central Texas - was 85 yesterday, 89 now but feels like 96 (sure does!)...won't last though. Chance of thunderstorms this evening, but real cold front comes through overnight and drops temps into the mid 70s tomorrow. Low to mid 70s through the weekend and then real cool next week with temperatures in the 60s.

Oddest weather in Houston today. It started off like a typical spring/summer day: partly cloudy and temps in the 70s and 80s.

But this afternoon, after the cold front going across the nation went through, the humidity dropped and the clouds disappeared, as expected due to a cold front, but then the temperature shot up; it hit 91 late this afternoon.

I think I've never seen that in the Houston area before. It felt like Arizona, quite frankly.

But what's odder is that next morning it's supposed to get down to the mid-50s. Unheard of in Houston in April.

Exactly the opposite in Salt Lake. It's 78 at the airport as I type this and we're looking to get well into the mid 80s later this week. While this mini-heatwave probably won't break any records, we'll be running more than 20 degrees above normal. It does look to cool down a bit into the mid 70s for the weekend, with maybe a chance of some scattered thunderstorms.

The weather station at Skyland, Nevada, near the east shore of Lake Tahoe not far from my house, hit 70 degrees this afternoon.

The final 70 degree day in 2019 was October 7.  That's a span of 204 days.

I have vacationed in Maui, Arizona and Florida over that time period (before the virus issues hit) and you can sort of guess why I pick those destinations.

The snow didn't make it all the way to Georgia, of course, but we did see a high of only 65 on Saturday; the average low for May 9 is 59. Fifteen degrees below normal, all told.

Station near me is currently reporting 39 as the sun rises; if accurate, that would set a new record low, shattering the previous mark of 45.

So far this month, we're averaging 5.1° below normal temperatures. High yesterday was around 52°. I love it. No need to run heat, no need for AC, resulting in lower utility bills (and not having to bother changing the furnace filter).

That's great down there in the sunny south, but not so much 400 miles north. We have been on the fence between winter and spring literally this entire time since the end of February, before the pandemic even hit. Thought we were in for an early spring, and then what? Temperature-wise, zero change between the average day in March and the average day in May.

I'm more than ready for a change at this point. I wish spring would just come to stay, but seriously, I think I'd rather 2 feet of snow tomorrow than more of the same old gray 40 degrees and the expected improvement that never comes. The false hope of spring has become symbolic of this pandemic at this point.

It was nice leaving my friend's house last night at 11pm and still having it be in the upper 60s (nothing for some, but warm at night for us). Then waking up at 0630 for a walk, and marching out in shorts and a T-shirt. Love it.

Winter's nice and all, but I've said it before: being able to wear the same thing inside and out is sooooo much nicer than having to change clothes and "layer up" all the time.

Layering up does have its advantages, especially during a pandemic. Much easier to wear a mask, gloves, and sleeve covers when it's colder."

That doesn't stop regular Washingtonians (particularly Seattleites) from bitching about how "hot it is" every time it gets above 75. Portlandian's don't even whine as much.

Layering up, to me, has exactly one advantage: you'll always be the right temperature. But, it's at the expense of comfort because you then have to ferry everything you've removed, basically offsetting the comfort gained from being the right temperature. Having to stuff the lower half of my zip-off pants into my pockets, or tying my jacket around my waist, is just annoying, especially because those layers were only necessary because of colder temperatures. If it were just warm, there'd be no reason to layer at all...hence why I like summer. I might bring an umbrella (gasp!) on a walk, but I can just strap it to my wrist or possibly (if it's taller) use it as a walking stick.

My standard gear is all-weather jeans, a short-sleeved t-shirt, and a light zip-up jacket. It's the best and most versatile combination for Seattle weather, and rarely fails me. If it's too stuffy, then I can open my jacket or stuff it in my bag (or throw it in the car, if that's an option). I don't wear shorts unless it's guaranteed to be too hot to deal with jeans or long-sleeved summer pants.

That aside, it is currently 10 pm and still above 80 in my room.

Is that 80 degrees dry heat or humid heat? Humid heat can feel quite a bit hotter. Here, it is typically quite humid when it hits that temperature.

Ahh! I can see where we differ. I wear shorts if it's above 60, although it needs to be about 65-68 before I will go short-sleeve minus light pullover. There is a good stretch of the year where I can comfortably go out without layering. Your standard gear is basically myself from late October to early April, although I might throw a vest on as well. Not to mention an umbrella (I don't subscribe to the "true Seattleites don't own umbrellas" nonsense).

You may want to consider a portable AC unit. I bought one in August 2016 for $650. Breaking that down, it's less than $15/month. Our electricity bill goes up during the summer, but it's still pretty damn cheap given how cheap electricity is here anyways. At the end of the day, not having to sweat at night is more than worth $15/month (plus the relatively negligible electricity cost).

Lots of locals refuse to invest in AC because it "doesn't get that hot". Which makes no sense to me, since those same people complain any time it hits 80. Which it does all. the. time.

I'd like to add that, by and large, Seattle is only humid during the winter. Summer weather is remarkably dry, with humid hot weather being fairly uncommon. Something like Orlando mid-July is basically unheard of. Probably the reason the PNW is so often ranked as having some of the best summer weather, and why the west coast in general is ranked similarly (Phoenix being left out for being too hot even with its relatively low humidity).

Yep, Salt Lake. The sun is out this morning (ugh) but showers are supposed to fill in by this afternoon. At least the wind has stopped - I-80 actually had to close between Wendover and SR 36 yesterday, after multiple semi-trucks tipped over in strong crosswinds gusting almost to 80 mph.

Before this week, Atlanta had had only one day of non-negligible rain in about 3 1/2 weeks. January-March was the real rainy season.

We have had rain the last two nights, though. Staying cloudy and cool today, not likely to get out of the mid-60s.

I will now rant about how unpredictable the weather in the Ozarks is...

So... weather.gov predicts mostly cloudy for the night I will be stargazing in N. Central AR. Hooray, the clouds part, and I got to see the milky way and a few shooting stars.
I wake up the next morning, excited to flat part of the Buffalo River. Its 15 degrees colder than forecasted, and very cloudy & foggy, as opposed to Mostly Sunny forecasted. It's hard to see where to go in the top of the Boston Mountains in that fog. So we cancel our trip. Literally 30 minutes later, the sky was more like this:

So instead we hiked to a nearby 80 foot waterfall.

Looks like you're going to get the same heat wave that's supposed to hit Utah at the end of this week. Based on the latest forecast, Salt Lake will be 96 on Friday and 97 on Saturday - not sure I've ever seen temperatures that high in May before. And it just snowed this past weekend!

I can't complain too much though, because areas farther southwest are going to be approaching 110 degrees. Most of the Desert Southwest and Central Valley is under an excessive heat warning.

With regard to Thursday I have a day trip planned to the Courtright and Wishon Reservoirs.  Being above 7,000 feet in elevation is definitely the place I'll want to be on my day off.  The weird thing is that by the weekend the temperature will plunge back to the 80s.  I'm thinking about just bringing a lounge chair and setting up at one of the reservoirs presumptively after I hike.  I told my wife the AC is being turned on for the second time this year, she was not pleased about the prospect of the elevated electrical bill.

I would recommend checking it out. Lake Erie (Ontario side) seems to be overlooked, so the beaches tend to be pretty quiet. I think Long Point is the nicest park I've been to on Lake Erie (though I haven't tried Turkey Point) - the beach is long (as the name suggests :-D) so it's easy to find a spot to yourself.

Spot t-storms around the STL area for the past few days. Small but powerful cells that are infrequent but heavy when they hit (occasionally with an inconsequential amount of hail). The thunder can be heard regardless, though, so it's been very noisy around here the past few days.

I beg to differ. Temperatures are low-mid-high. Saying early 80's or small 80's is just plain wrong. Some trendy weather presenters may try using unorthodox phrases just to be smart or different but it doesn't work in my book. Even a two year old will know that an early temperature makes no sense. I would interpret an early temperature as early in the day, such as the temperature at 3am in the morning.

I'm getting to the point where I may need to plug in my AC unit. Being nine floors up on a AC-less building is not fun when it's hot.

Usually I open my windows, but it's pointless right now without a breeze. I would need to keep them entirely open to make a difference, and there's too much street noise for that to work.

Does look like we'll get to cool off with some lightning on Saturday, which could get fun.

Damn thing woke me up about ten past 8, after I'd only been asleep for a few hours. Didn't wake up till 11 as I went straight back to bed. Annoying too since I love a good storm but I was too tired to enjoy this one.

I had my first severe thunderstorm warning of the year in Salt Lake yesterday. Although I think most of the populated parts of Utah got away without much damage, several wind gusts above 60 mph were observed across northern Utah. A site in the Dugway Proving Ground out in the west desert even recorded a gust to 92 mph.

Had some severe thunderstorms in the evening yesterday in Salt Lake, which didn't produce much in the way of rain or lightning but did give us a hell of a lot of wind. Then we had a few showers this morning (again, more wind than rain) but missed out on the big storms today, which largely stayed to our northwest and southeast. (And big storms they were: the Monticello-Blanding corridor on US 191 had a supercell thunderstorm with golf ball size hail and 90 mph winds. That's something you rarely if ever see west of the Rockies.)

Anyway, we finally had a few hours of decent rain this evening. More rain is expected for tomorrow and Monday - by the time this storm cycle is over, we will have gotten more rain in one weekend than in the previous two months.

Getting some light snow this afternoon at my house at 6500' at Tahoe.  Not really "much welcome" at this time of year.  The ground is too warm for it to stick at this elevation but if it moves far enough south to the >8000' elevation highway passes, Carson Pass on CA 88 etc., there could be some chain requirements overnight.

Today, Tuesday 6/9: hot. Very hot. In fact, this may turn out to be the hottest day I have ever experienced. Today's forecast high is in the 98 to 105 range, with feels like 110-120. 105 is the record high for the state of Connecticut (set in '95, before I was born), and I've never lived anywhere hotter, so today may be my personal high temperature record.

Yes, I'm in Corsicana right now. I'm just saying, because 105 is the record high for the state of Connecticut (before I was born), and having lived there *most* of my life, I've likely never experienced a day so hot before.

Indeed, we did get enough rain to match April and May combined. (usually our two wettest months!) Sunday morning we had dime size hail, followed by one of the stronger squall lines I’ve seen in Utah - 30 minutes of heavy rain, lightning, and winds to at least 50 mph. NWS even issued a flood advisory for most of the Wasatch Front. From then on through Monday, we had occasional showers with rain and small hail.

The storm also brought in some impressively cold air for June. Yesterday’s high in Salt Lake was 55, a record low for the day. We fell down to 42 last night and some of the higher mountain valleys even experienced a hard freeze. But from here on out it’s supposed to warm back up, breaking 90 in SLC on Friday before our next chance at a storm this weekend.

I haven't really noticed much of any difference due to it at all so far; I think the media just hyped it up for the allergy sufferers. Besides, it keeps hurricanes away, so I'm happy.

However, it has been raining all week long and I don't think the temperature has risen above 90 this week. Based off of my home's rain gauge and others in the area, I guesstimate I've gotten a whopping 7-10 inches of rain this week. Still, even though that is completely nuts (maybe not for Houston, though), it only flooded a couple feeder roads and I think only one home?

Next week's weather looks pretty typical for this time of year. Low 90s, with about a 30% chance for a thunderstorm each day.

We had a chance for thunderstorms last Thursday that fell flat on its face. None of the Wasatch Front got anything. A few storms did form further south, but they weren't that strong and didn't hit anywhere north of Nephi.

It's currently 94 at the SLC airport. Tomorrow should be similarly hot, but it will be quite windy as a cold front approaches from the northwest. Parts of southwest Utah are under a high wind warning, in addition to a Particularly Dangerous Situation (PDS) Red Flag Warning since humidities will be low and the vegetation down there has all but dried out.

In addition to the wind, there is a marginal risk of severe thunderstorms in northern Utah as the cold front approaches. Behind the front, we'll probably see a period of decent heavy rain, and then it will be much colder - the high on Monday in Salt Lake is 66. It will be cold enough to snow above 7000 feet, where the forecast calls for 1-4 inches of the white stuff.

Hot, dry, and windy.  We're forecast to hit triple digits the next couple of days.

Despite the dry weather, the wheat harvest in southwestern Kansas wasn't too bad from what I hear.  Some of the grain that didn't fare as well ended up with higher protein content, and the resulting higher price offset the lower yield.

Summer is here ugh!!!! Highs in the high 90s, humidity 70%, lows at night 80s. Thunderstorms every afternoon, rain doesnt cool just increases humidity. It will be like this til late October.
We're hoping the Sahara dust clouds will slow hurricane activity. I think now that my family issues have been resolved I'll soon be heading home to Delaware. The only thing keeping me here now is selling this mobile home, anyone like to move to Crestview, FL? I guess my weather report nixed anyone on here moving here, I gotta think of something good to say about Crestview. As Jack Benny would say "I'm thinking, I'm thinking".

Enjoying a spectacular thunderstorm looking south into Alexandria, VA right now. Fairly humid but the temps have dropped and there's a nice breeze.

The lightning is very rapid. Although I started my day in Indianapolis, we drove back into DC right about the time the afternoon storms passed. Looks like things got intense for a while. The current storms are just following the big show from earlier.

Yesterday, it poured cats and dogs for probably 20 or 30 minutes straight at my office, shortly before I got off work yesterday.  There was still some light rain when I pulled out of the parking lot, and part of the land was flooded.  Eleven miles later, I got home, and my neighbor started mowing her lawn because the neighborhood hadn't gotten more than a few drops.  My lawn still crunches when you walk on it.

It's been quite hot in Salt Lake for most of the past week, with highs at least in the mid 90s most days. Last Friday was the hottest day of the year so far, with a high of 102. We also haven't had anything in the way of rain lately, which explains why our wildfire season hasn't been good this year. Seems like a new one has started every day in the past two weeks.

The good news is it looks like the first real monsoon event of the year is coming this week. Unfortunately, this means dry thunderstorms with lightning and wind will be a possibility tomorrow and maybe Wednesday, which won't be good for fire weather. By Wednesday/Thursday, there should be enough moisture for more of a heavy rain threat.

For the next week, the forecast in Houston is basically copy and paste; High 80s/Low 90s with a 60% chance for thunderstorms.

This is because of the two tropical disturbances we'll get this week. We need rain, so I'm fine with it.

Siked Psyched for some hot weather in the PNW next week. We got a Heat Advisory going for some lower to mid 90s early part of next week.

My girlfriend and I are going to seek out a river up in the mountains to relax next to. Hopefully won't get hypothermia from the snowmelt :-D

We've been having a monsoon surge for the past few days, which has been responsible for a lot of flash floods in southern Utah and a few severe thunderstorms in northern Utah (as is common with these types of events). The SLC airport even picked up a quarter inch of rain Monday night - always welcome in the middle of summer.

It's still a bit muggy (by our western standards) today in Salt Lake, but we won't have another shot at any storms until at least the middle of next week. For the next several days, we're going to have a heat wave that will probably give us the warmest temperatures of the year. Starting tomorrow and for the next four days, highs will be in the low 100s and lows in the low-mid 70s. I would not be surprised if the NWS issues a heat advisory for the northern Utah valleys this afternoon.

I can't complain too much, because it could be way worse - St George will come close to or break 110F every day for the rest of this week. Unsurprisingly, there is an excessive heat warning in effect there.

Like much of the inland west, Salt Lake City has been having a brutal heat wave for the past few days. The SLC airport hit 105F today and yesterday, both of which were new daily record highs. More interestingly, they were only the 19th and 20th times a temperature that high has ever been recorded, and the 5th time ever that we had two consecutive 105+ days. We weren’t  far off from the all-time record of 107. In fact, nearby Ogden did tie their all-time record high of 104 today.

Heat advisories are currently in effect for all western and central Utah valleys, including the Wasatch Front, while the southern tier of the state remains in an excessive heat warning. Tomorrow will still be very hot, although probably not quite to today’s levels. After that we get a real “cooldown” with highs in the upper 90s.

Heck, Hurricane Hanna even caused issues for our friends living in the Chihuahuan Desert of north-central Mexico.  While they didn't have any real flooding, the excess rain was enough to cause intermittent power and water outages in town.  And the highway through the Sierra Madre between Saltillo and Monterrey–closer to the coast but still more than 200 miles inland–was completely closed due to landslides.

Certainly not unheard of. There are markers all over the state marking 1938 hurricane flood levels. Bob in 91 made a mess, as did Unnamed Hurricane #8 in which we lost George Clooney. Floyd and Irene soaked parts of the state in 99 and 2011.

Here there is steady but not terrible wind, overcast. Tornado watch, which is rendered more interesting by the fact that there of been a lot of sharks around lately.

I understand we have differing opinions of what is comfortable, but I really wish the Seattle heat-haters would cool it during the summer. It's not that long, and it's a very enjoyable time of year to get out and do stuff. I don't want to Kayak on Lake Union when it's 55 and drizzly. It could be 95 and humid. We have it good here.

In derecho wind events it is a good idea to consider a Severe Thunderstorm Warning like a Tornado warning. 112 mph is equivalent to EF2 tornado force winds. It doesn't matter if it's blowing in a straight line or a circle, 112 mph wind is 112 mph wind.

Spent the whole day out there and didn't come back until after sundown (which is rare for me).  We didn't even particularly do anything other than just walk the multiuse Monterey Bay Trail and grabbed lunch.  Apparently it was 109F yesterday and will be 111F today. 

Word is the preliminary high in Death Valley neat Furnace Creek was 130F yesterday.

If confirmed, that would certainly be a United States record for August, and the highest reading ever reported from Death Valley outside of a July 1913 heatwave. However, some recent research suggests the 1913 records are probably inaccurate, and the same goes for a few other global extremes...so there is a decent chance that the 130F reading on the 16th represents a world record high temperature.

Really I can't see the old 20th Century data being anywhere near as accurate as today's.  Apparently today was 126F from what I've been monitoring.

Actually that data isn't too bad generally, but the 1913 data is probably wrong because the temperatures from that summer were meteorologically impossible based on other surrounding observations and upper-air data that we do have.

Tahoe has been pretty smoky the last couple days but better today, more of a haze than discernible smoke.  PurpleAir (https://www2.purpleair.com/) is showing us in the 130s for AQI today, while the Fresno area and much of the Central Valley is 200 or worse.  Satellite loop (https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/sector_band.php?sat=G17&sector=psw&band=GEOCOLOR&length=24) suggests that the air flow is trapping smoke in the Valley and foothills today, not letting it over the Sierra until you get to the northern end of the Sierra and on up toward Lassen.

The natural basin which is San Joaquin Valley lends itself to poor air quality even during normal summers.  The air hasn't been too bad early in the morning but once the sun rises all that debris ends up being tossed around.  I'm just glad that I'll be out of here in a few days en route to Mammoth.

When I got home from work yesterday, I pretended to mow my pretend lawn.

The last time Wichita recorded more than 1 inch of rain was July 21.  Since the start of August, we've had 0.8 inches total, with only one day so far this month topping 0.03 inches–and that was two weeks ago.

It had probably been a month since I last mowed.  And I didn't even bother mowing the whole back yard yesterday, because I wouldn't have been able to tell where I'd already mowed.

Part of the Springfield, MO area is under a D2 drought. I haven't received rain in a good two weeks. Now, it is coming down hard with lots of wind, with a severe thunderstorm warning. This storm is unrelated to Laura, which missed the Ozark region except maybe the eastern border of it.

Ever since some of Marco's remnants impacted us at the start of last week, it's been just plain hot and muggy here in Atlanta, without much in the way of rain. We were supposed to get some of Laura's rain bands on Friday night, but those dissipated before they could make it past Alabama. Plus we've generally missed out on the usual afternoon thunderstorms this week.

But today's weather did not disappoint. After a very muggy day with dewpoints nearing the mid-70s, a big complex thunderstorms formed right over Atlanta around four hours ago and is only now starting to die out and move off to the northeast. A couple severe thunderstorm warnings were issued earlier, but the big story with these has been flooding. Multiple flash flood and river flood warnings are currently in effect around the metro area, and the ATL airport picked up 2.7 inches of rain in about 3 hours.

Highs in the low 90s this week but late next week there'll be a cold front that'll bring the temperature down to (gasp!) the mid 80s.

Basically no rain for the past 2 or 3 weeks except for two brief downpours from random thunderclouds. Strangely, I got no rain from Laura at all.

My area was forecasted to get about an inch from Laura, but it turned out that the only areas in the Ozarks that got rain from it were the eastern border regions. A day later, my area got much needed rain from a completely different storm.


Today was probably the first day this week it has been <50% cloud cover this week. It was hot today, and it will stay in the mid to upper 80s for the next week.

At least we don't have to worry about 100 degrees and then snow two days later. I think we have it pretty nice.

The opposite occurrence–snow followed by warm temperatures–is quite nice, though.  I grew up in western Kansas, and I remember getting half a foot of snow one year, then going without jackets to throw a Frisbee around with my dad at the high school football field the next day because it was sunny and 60 degrees.  (He and I had developed a point-based competitive Frisbee game that took up probably half a football field.)  We had to color the bottom of the Frisbee with a marker in case it landed upside down, or else we couldn't find it in the snow.

It has finally started to chill here, although a bit earlier than usual I might add. I swear normally it's still 90 this time of the year but we're getting highs in the 60s this week.

We've been getting some periodic heavy rain in Atlanta today from Sally's outer rainbands. Not all that exciting as of yet, but the real exciting part starts this evening and goes through tomorrow morning. A flash flood watch and wind advisory are in effect as we're looking at the possibility of up to 6 inches of rain and 30 mph sustained winds.

At least it's not hot and humid every day anymore - and probably won't be until next spring. After Sally moves through, a cold front will knock high temps down into the high 60s/low 70s with lows in the 50s.

The next week and a half forecast is all sunny skies with highs around 80-85 degrees.

This morning on my way to work, I was driving directly toward the rising sun but didn't realize it for about 30 seconds due to the smoky haze on the horizon.

The smoke let off for a couple days, but it has now returned. Looking at a map displaying the intensity of the smoke, it is less smoky in Seattle than it is here. Otherwise, it is sunny in the mid 70s.

Today's a beautiful day in the Houston area, sunny with a few clouds, with highs in the mid 80s and lows in the upper 60s.

However, tomorrow all the way through midweek will be a slog, literally. TS Beta will come ashore soon in the Corpus Christi area and stick around the Texas coast until Wednesday. The Houston area could receive up to 10-15 inches of rain this week (all this reminds me of Harvey, does it not?); and my local area is where the biggest rainfall totals are expected. At least the high temperature won't be higher than 85 until next week.

Wish me luck.

A perfect last day of summer here.....sunny and temps around 18 (high '60s)......but batten down the hatches as Hurricane Teddy is heading right for us! It's near Bermuda now and will probably transition to Post Tropical when it reaches the Maritimes and Newfoundland on Tuesday and Wednesday.....but still with high winds and heavy rain.

I forgot to talk about Beta's impacts for me. According to my rain gauge, neighbor's rain gauges, and online sources, I deduce that about 5 inches of rain fell at my house during Beta. Tomorrow's going to be the first real cold front of the year, with highs in the mid 70s and lows dropping to the mid 50s by midweek.
Title: Re: What's your weather currently?
Post by: US 89 on September 28, 2020, 12:35:54 AM
My semi-annual TPMS light came on this week after we dropped into the low 50s, thanks to the cold front right behind Sally.

I was enjoying the cooler, drier weather that we'd been having since Sally, but Beta brought in a warm and muggy air mass much more typical of late summer. We actually got a surprising amount of rain from Beta - only an inch or so, but it was more than initially forecast and it made for an especially dreary couple of days. Yesterday was the first time I'd seen the sun in almost a week.

Tomorrow looks to be more of the same, then we get a cold front in the evening (with a chance of strong thunderstorms). After the storm moves through, it will start feeling much more like fall, with highs in the upper 60s and lows even falling below 50.

I think we're still feeling the affects of Hurricane Teddy from the tropical air it pumped into the Canadian Maritimes. We had a sunny and warm weekend and still even today a high of 27 with a feel-like 33 (84F) from the humidity. It's been great to be sitting out on the deck well after dark on these warm evenings at the end of September!

But by the first of next week.....we'll be into the usual fall weather: sunny and around 15 (low '60s) ....and seeing some nice fall colours!

Yeah, it's been warm and dry here too. My rain barrel is starting to empty out (I usually pull 2-4 gallons a week from it). Very unusual for this time of year; normally this is the time of year when the summer heat breaks and it starts to rain again. It's probably 'cause they canceled the Oklahoma State Fair due to covid, so we didn't have anything that needed to get rained out.

Very active day in and around Atlanta weather-wise, with multiple tornadoes and flash floods in the area.

I went to bed last night knowing we’d probably get some rain from Delta or what’s left of it, but it turned out to be far more exciting than that. Woke up this morning to find myself in the SPC’s slight risk area for tornadoes, and a tornado watch was issued early this afternoon. The storms were mostly concentrated along one of Delta’s rain bands that moved through early this evening, and there was a lot of rotation with them. The NWS office in Peachtree City issued 21 tornado warnings today, and the Greenville, SC office to our northeast issued a couple as well. So far at least 4 tornadoes have been reported in Georgia, including one that injured two people near Covington and another that caused structural damage to a high school in Newnan.

The tornadoes weren’t the whole story, though. Even after the main line of storms passed through, very heavy rain continued for a few more hours. All sorts of rivers and streams in the Atlanta metro have reached flood stage, and we’re still under a flash flood warning.

Although the tornadoes and probably the heaviest rain are done, we’re likely to get some more rain from Delta’s remnants tomorrow, and thanks to today’s storms it won’t take much to cause flooding issues tomorrow - so we’re now under a flash flood watch through tomorrow night.

On my way to Springfield (MO) this past Saturday, I drove through nearly-snowstorm-like conditions.

Because it had been so dry around here for so long, the corn harvest had proceeded uninterrupted since Day 1.  Almost all corn had been harvested, and some farmers were already starting in on soybeans and milo.  Because of this, the ground had a lot of dry, dusty dirt laid bare, and it also had a lot of chaff and cornhusks lying around.  Saturday, we had 20-30 mph winds from the south, with frequent stronger gusts.  While we were driving east along farm roads in far western Missouri (https://goo.gl/maps/957X6GtHcrSRe3uF6), the blowing dust was as thick as fog or blowing snow in places, and the blowing chaff and husks danced across the pavement like large snowflakes.  66 miles later, there were still cornhusks stuck in the hubcaps and other places.

The next day, the weather turned chilly and damp, and it was an entirely different view of the region on the return trip.

It's been raining for four straight mornings, although the weather is supposed to improve tomorrow.
I feel like this happens every fall: the the rainiest week of the entire year shows up right when the foliage is at its peak.

Yes, and with any luck, a strong wind comes along too and blows all the leaves off the trees just when you want to be able to see the foliage.

Of course, it's been so dry here for so long that the leaves are going straight from green to brown, with some showing a very brief yellow phase along the way.

We had yet another round of very heavy rain yesterday evening, with over 3 inches of rain falling in many places in the Atlanta metro. A flash flood warning was issued with a "considerable" damage threat, so the alert went out to everyone's cell phones. Apparently there were water rescues in some flood-prone areas last night.

Should be nice weather for the next couple days, but then we'll have to worry about impacts from yet another tropical system. Much will depend on the final track of Tropical Storm Zeta, but we are likely to see a good bit of rain. If it winds up on the western side of the current model guidance, depending on timing and some other factors we might even see another tornado event similar to what we had with Delta.

Snow this early in the year is unusual for Wichita.  The first snowfall is often in December, sometimes even January or February.  Out where I grew up in northwestern Kansas, snow in October was more normal because, even though it was kind of in the rain shadow of the Rockies, some mountain snowstorms strong enough to make it past the front range were also strong enough to make it past the state line as well.  Here in the southeastern part of the state, though, snow in October is unusual.

The highways were slick as I was coming to work, and the some of the clearest spots were actually the worst:  ice instead of snow to drive on.

Yeah, the roads here are nice and slushy, the yard is full of sleet (I don't think it's snow, but it's hard to tell), and there's a good coating of ice on the trees. Additional ice accumulation to follow tomorrow and into Wednesday. As kphoger mentioned, this is unusual for this early in the year; we usually don't see any sort of winter precipitation until December at the earliest.

None of my trees have dropped their leaves yet, and it's kind of funny since it looks like the oak tree is trying to start going through the color-change process as fast as possible (it was uniformly green yesterday and is now starting to turn red on the uppermost leaves).

Warm & humid now dewpoints near 70 . It looks like another tropical storm will be in our neighboirhood Wednesday night. NHC sez maybe a cat 1 (80mph) but its too early to know 4 sure. Where ever it landfalls we will likely be on the dirty side, the NE quadrant, the more favored area for twisters. Its been a helluva yr, I think this is the 3rd storm to our west. Praying Lousiana misses this one, Lord knows they've had enough to deal with! Like LA we still have huge debri piles on the ROW, its only been 9 days since Sally. NOA is saying Zeta will be moving at 20+ mph so maybe it will be like a quick severe thunderstorm. After 40 yrs of life in FL I'm about ready to pack up & move back to Delaware :angry:
Title: Re: What's your weather currently?
Post by: US 89 on October 27, 2020, 09:10:33 AM
Zeta is going to absolutely book it across the southeast. Should make the journey from Louisiana landfall to the Delmarva region in about a day, which averages out to around a 45 mph forward speed.

We’re already gearing up for some potential impacts in Atlanta. A flash flood watch has already been issued for most of north GA: although rain totals will likely only be in the 2-3 inch range, it will come rather quickly and our soils are pretty much saturated after all the rain we’ve had this fall (including the significant flash flood event last Saturday). Tornado threat may exist but seems like it will be lower that it was with Delta.

More interesting is because Zeta will be moving so fast, it won’t really have a ton of time to weaken a lot before it passes us. It’s starting to look more likely that ATL will see some decent winds - perhaps even to tropical storm force. Will depend on ultimate track and intensity.

Well, I just found out that this October snow is even more unusual than I realized.  Wichita broke the record for snowfall on October 26, which had previously been only 0.5 inches.  Any snowfall today automatically breaks the record for October 27, because there has never been any recorded snowfall on this date in Wichita.  We also broke the record for lowest high temp and lowest low temp yesterday.

Contrast that to where I grew up in northwestern Kansas, where I have a distinct memory of trick-or-treating during a blizzard–complete with full-body snow suit over our costumes.  (My friend and I made out like bandits that year, because everyone had bought a bunch of candy but nobody but us was coming to their door.)

Wow, that is crazy. We average around 100 inches of snow a year and even here it's rare to get significant snow before Halloween. Last year we had a spell of bitter cold and several snowfalls around Veteran's Day, and even that felt early.

Another gray, cloudy day today with temperatures around 70. Tropical storm watch is in effect through Thursday morning thanks to Zeta; we'll see if it gets upgraded to a warning tomorrow. Could be the most significant wind impact Atlanta has seen from a tropical system since Irma.

The snow here in Wichita froze over on top yesterday.  Before heading to bed, I took the boys outside to show them that one could knock on the snow in the yard with his knuckles.  By now, though, it has mostly melted.

We got hit by Tropical Storm Zeta early this morning. It did not rain as much as initially feared, but the wind lived up to expectations. Trees and branches were down everywhere. I never lost power, but apparently over a million customers did.

The sun is now out for the first time in four days, but it comes at the expense of high humidity. That won't last long, though: a strong, dry cold front should knock our highs down into the 60s starting tomorrow.

Absolute gorgeous in Houston the past few days. Sunny with highs in the 50s and 60s, lows in the 40s, with a nippy breeze from the north.

A small observation here. It seems that the general sentiment around America is that winter is the dreariest and most depressing season when it comes to weather. They also can't wait for it to warm up in summer. However, my family is the exact opposite. We get really happy when winter rolls around because of days like today, but in the summertime, the heat drags and is honestly a bit depressing. Guess it's just a matter of perspective.

That's because Houston has some of the most oppressive heat you can find anywhere in the US. Summer heat in most of the US is either moderately hot and very humid (like say, Florida) or very hot and not so humid (interior plains or western US). Houston manages to combine the worst of both worlds.

As for winter, Houston has the advantage of being located far enough south that day length really doesn't vary a ton. Even in December, you'll always get at least 10 hours of daylight there. For anything located above 31 degrees latitude or so, this is not the case. At 40 degrees latitude, day length gets down to 9.25 hours in the heart of winter. And if you keep going north to a place like Seattle (47.6N), you'll find their shortest winter days are less than 8.5 hours long.

Thank you. Winter days here are far colder than anything Houston would regularly get, often things are wet (not always raining but often it has only been 24 to 48 hours since the last rainfall), and its dark. Like really dark. Like commuting to and from work in either dark or darkish conditions for months.

On the other hand, our summers are basically like Houston in the fall and, on colder days, Houston's winter. So yeah, I like summer :-D.

You will find Seattleites who will go out of their way to tell you how much they like our winters. There are some that genuinely do, but they're usually just nutty Cascadians who only permit themselves to enjoy the most PNW aspects of life, like driving a wagon, enjoying the rainy cold and dark days, and hiking. Oh, and eating granola bars. Okay, yes, I do those things too, but I like the sun as well lol. You will never see more people "out" in the Pacific Northwest than on a sunny day, since we don't have that many, and they're rarely oppressive (not humid, 80s at most).

I've got some friends in Texas, and last year they were outside, while it was still light out, enjoying their Thanksgiving! That made me jealous, but then in the summer when it's dark there at 7:30 and I've got light until after 9, I decided maybe I don't have it so bad.

And how about Edmonton, where the sun doesn't rise until 8:48 and sets at 4:16, making the shortest day of the year only 7:28 in length?

Looks like Seattle's shortest day is just shy of 8.5 hours and longest day is about 16 hours even. That's a significant swing even from where I am, which is not far from a perfect 9 hours in winter, 15 hours in summer, 12 hours in spring and fall, although we do get a bit more than 15 on the longest summer evenings.

But yeah, it's very easy to forget how far north Seattle is. Even though you know it's not far from the border, that doesn't put it in proper perspective for those of us in the Great Lakes, because of how far south the border is in this area. And you'd normally associate north with cold, harsh winters, but Seattle's relatively moderate climate makes that a little less intuitive.

I should mention, this morning was the darkest commute of the year for me, and tomorrow will be the darkest morning of the year, period.
The sun didn't rise until 7:44 this morning, but of course after DST ends this weekend, that will go back to 6:45. Then it continues to get darker, but even when the shortest day of the year hits in December, sunrise is still earlier at 7:42.

I assumed this was the case for the entire country, but when I was looking up the data for Seattle for my previous post, I realized that's not the case. The angles of the sun must be such that it depends where you are in the time zone whether your darkest morning is in October or December.

The ice down there created extra work for our Wichita field techs.  The MSO that our company works for in this region (Cox) is sending all their own techs down to OKC to cover all the work generated by the ice storm.  The work they would usually be doing is being picked up by our guys instead.  Next week, in fact, they're going to a mandatory six-day work week.  This is a blessing, considering work slowed down when COVID hit, and I'm certain plenty of them will be happy for the extra pay.  (They get paid by the point, not by the hour, so every single appointment/work order means more money in their pocket.)

I constantly have to remind myself that Bellingham is the most northern city in the contiguous US with over 50,000 people. It's really just a short drive up the freeway. Even I forget how far north Seattle is because Vancouver is to the north, and it's just as much of a metropolis as Seattle. In many ways, it feels like a bigger city than Seattle, all nicely tucked away north of sleepy Whatcom County.

To give you some idea of how balmy the west coast is, Canadians flock to the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island during the winter to escape the otherwise brutal winters elsewhere in Canada. I believe Victoria is one of the most popular cities in Canada for retirees because of how warm it is. But both Vancouver and Victoria are colder and (technically) darker than Seattle. It really is all about perspective!

A line of severe thunderstorms is developing to the northwest of here, with the potential of producing tornadoes. This system should arrive in 1-2 hours.
Had a very violent thunderstorm in STL this morning; first time I've been awakened by thunder in a while. Rain continued throughout the day. That line's approaching Lebanon with tornados. I have a friend who's a college freshman in Rolla (at S&T) who I'm keeping in contact with. Those cells might hit STL later tonight. It's pretty windy.

53° and windy. I hope the winds die down. Monday is trash day and some of our neighbors persist in rushing to put theirs out early and not weighting down the recycling by putting heavier items on top, so whenever it's windy we all wind up with front yards full of other people's trash (because of course the responsible parties never go outside to clean up their mess).

In STL right now. It stormed all night but its clear now; the storms have moved out east. The main thing is the wind; it's gusting to 43 mph, according to the NWS.

This entire week has been in the high 50s to mid 60s. Clear, other than the occasional blanket of clouds lasting for no more than an hour. Somewhat windy, however.

For thanksgiving, I am headed to Kentucky, where the weather then will be similar, but more cloudy and less windy, with the occasional rain shower.

A colleague who went home for Thanksgiving just e-mailed pictures of a light snow on the ground this morning in northern Indiana. Meanwhile, here it was 35° and sunny when I got up. Slept with a window open but a sliding vent screen in place to allow fresh air with no drafts, which was nice because the fresh air felt good.

Cold enough to snow for over an hour but warm enough to not accumulate. The worst weather IMO, cold and wet, no snow to enjoy, slick roads and poor visibility. I rolled down my window at Taco Bell and got a clump of melting snow to fall in the car. Gotta love Indiana weather.

WNY (Western New York) is used quite frequently around here, but I wouldn't expect it to be used by people outside the area.
Similarly, I don't use SWMO or NETN myself, but it's understandable for use by the locals.

December arrived mere hours ago, and brought with it the first snowfall of the year! There's a fresh coating on the ground as I type this.

Somehow, we escaped with a completely snow-free November, which never happens. We've now been blessed with a snow-free March and a snow-free November in the same year, and even crazier, it was bookended by fresh snow on both February 29th and now December 1st.
I'll bet 2020 is the only time that ever happens!

Snow this early in the year is unusual for Wichita.  The first snowfall is often in December, sometimes even January or February.  Out where I grew up in northwestern Kansas, snow in October was more normal because, even though it was kind of in the rain shadow of the Rockies, some mountain snowstorms strong enough to make it past the front range were also strong enough to make it past the state line as well.  Here in the southeastern part of the state, though, snow in October is unusual.

The highways were slick as I was coming to work, and the some of the clearest spots were actually the worst:  ice instead of snow to drive on.

Well, I just found out that this October snow is even more unusual than I realized.  Wichita broke the record for snowfall on October 26, which had previously been only 0.5 inches.  Any snowfall today automatically breaks the record for October 27, because there has never been any recorded snowfall on this date in Wichita.  We also broke the record for lowest high temp and lowest low temp yesterday.

Quote from: webny99 on October 27, 2020, 11:56:58 AM
Wow, that is crazy. We average around 100 inches of snow a year and even here it's rare to get significant snow before Halloween. Last year we had a spell of bitter cold and several snowfalls around Veteran's Day, and even that felt early.

So weird to compare Wichita to Rochester.  You up by Canada just got your first snowfall of the season a day and a half ago, yet I down here in Wichita just woke up to our second snowfall of the year.  And neither one of us had any snow during the month in between!

Of course, it was only a few years ago that people we know in southern Coahuila were building snowmen–had received snowfall twice, in fact–before we had even seen our first snowflake here in Wichita, so... I guess weather is variable.

That's probably snow due to elevation, in the same way that Flagstaff has snow.

Indeed! It was weird the way the Midwest got snow early this year but we didn't, since those weather patterns usually come this way. But it can't be understated how unusual it was for us to have a snow-free November. Last year, for example, we had 17.8 inches in November. The last time we had less than an inch in November was 2012, and the last time we had none at all appears to have been 1952 (https://www.weather.gov/buf/RochesterSnow), although it remains to be seen whether this year will be recorded as "0.0" or "T".

As far as my being "up near Canada", that's certainly true in the literal sense, but our latitude lines up between Sioux Falls, SD and Sioux City, IA; less than halfway from Wichita to the ND/MB border! Our snowfall is mostly thanks to the Great Lakes, not proximity to the Great White North. :)

I'm in Salt Lake right now where it looks like we're finally going to get some snow. A weak storm will move through today, but it looks like it won't drop much more than a couple inches in the mountains and maybe a dusting in the valleys. What it will do is bring in some colder air at mid-levels of the atmosphere, which will break the inversion and give us a relief from the haze and smog we've had for much of this week.

Another storm comes tomorrow, and this one will be more substantial. Winter storm watches have been issued for the central and southern mountains, which are currently expected to see 8-16 inches of snow. Far northern mountains will probably see closer to the 6" range, while valleys will get 1-3 inches. Not a huge valley storm by any means, but I wouldn't be surprised if we had over 100 car accidents across the Wasatch Front tomorrow. It hasn't snowed more than a dusting in almost a month and I can just about guarantee everybody forgot how to drive in it.

After that, it looks like we'll be in a fairly good pattern with weak to moderate storms every couple days. Nothing huge, but it builds our snowpack and should keep the inversion away.

Glorious weekend, upper 60s (felt a little cooler due to the breeze) and sunny. Perfect weather for Wreaths Across America yesterday at Arlington Cemetery (my father is in the columbarium seen here).

Today it's rainy. The worst thing about rainy mornings in December is how dark it is getting out of bed, but at least it isn't all that cold this morning (around 41°). Telecommuting helps a lot, of course–I get up at 7:00, but if I had to head downtown I'd get up an hour earlier.

Possible snow Wednesday. None of the forecast models can seem to agree on where the rain/snow line will be. Some models show my neighborhood's area getting a dusting, others show six inches.

Got our third snowfall of the season overnight Saturday.  I was going to wait till after church to take a picture to post, because the light would be better, but it was pretty much all gone by the time church let out.

We might get our fourth tomorrow, though.

Meanwhile, out southwest near Meade, our friends' parents measured 13 inches on the ground.

Today is 50 degrees and overcast. Last night, after I made my last post in this thread, the wind picked up pretty ferociously. The average speed was measured at 23 mph, but there had to be gusts over 35 or so.

Fourth snowfall this morning; just a dusting that hardly covered the grass, but still enough to create some very icy roads.

Another storm comes tomorrow, and this one will be more substantial. Winter storm watches have been issued for the central and southern mountains, which are currently expected to see 8-16 inches of snow. Far northern mountains will probably see closer to the 6" range, while valleys will get 1-3 inches. Not a huge valley storm by any means, but I wouldn't be surprised if we had over 100 car accidents across the Wasatch Front tomorrow. It hasn't snowed more than a dusting in almost a month and I can just about guarantee everybody forgot how to drive in it.

Well, the roads were a shitshow yesterday, but actual snow totals turned out to be much lower than expected along the Wasatch Front. I had an inch, and that's about what most northern valleys got with this system - except for the Cache and Sevier valleys which had up to 4" . Even the mountains did worse than expected, with Alta only picking up 5" .

Another storm somewhat similar to this one will move in Thursday. Initial indications are that this will be a bit stronger than yesterday's, however it also looks a bit warmer so there may be a brief period of rain Thursday afternoon. That of course means the roads will have a nice layer of ice on them once the main part of the storm comes through and it gets cold enough to snow again.

I never minded the snowfall in Chicago.  What I hated was after that, when it would stay below 20 degrees for two weeks straight, and all the snow would turn a hard, crunchy black color from pollution.

Yeah, it's been weird, Kansas and Oklahoma keeping it close into mid-December.
I'm sure at some point we'll storm away with 10-15 consecutive days of fresh snow, it's just a question of whether it'll be January or February... or March...

I've enjoyed the updates, though, and plan to keep my part of the chain updated for no other reason than to have an easy, fun, reference to look back on at the end of the season.

It's not just Chicago. What you describe is the very first thing that comes to mind when I hear "March". We seem to always get a big storm in March (this year being a notable exception) and the brown, crunchy piles on driveways and roadsides stick around for weeks and weeks after the rest has melted.

Post by: kphoger on December 16, 2020, 01:41:21 PM
The only good thing about those hard, black snow piles is this:  when the top layer thaws slightly in the sun and then re-freezes, the gunk mixed in keeps it from becoming a slip hazard.  Even if it's icy, you can safely cross such a mound to get on the bus, because the grit gives your feet traction.

That's record-breaking for that area, which doesn't get hit with the lake-effect snow that's known to dump 3-4 feet at a time east of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. 40 inches is more than double Binghamton's usual total for the entire month of December!

They're usually non-competitive in the annual snowfall derby (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Snowball_Award), but depending on how the rest of the winter plays out, putting Buffalo/Rochester/Syracuse in such a massive hole this early could be all they need to cruise to victory. We only got about four inches, Buffalo even less, and Syracuse presumably a bit more by the time it's over. Wow (https://www.syracuse.com/weather/2020/12/binghamton-buried-under-more-than-3-feet-of-snow-a-new-record-see-photos.html).

We're getting another storm in Utah today. The good news is it's wetter than the one we had on Monday, but it's also a bit warmer - so we've been getting rain most of the day with only brief periods of snow. And the precip really hasn't been that heavy thanks to the persistent wind from the southwest, which has resulted in a rain-shadow type effect in the Salt Lake Valley/Davis County area because of the Oquirrh Mountains.

That should shift to a northwest wind with a cold front this afternoon, which should also switch us to all snow. Should get at least a couple inches of it this evening.

I've had two instances of snow this year. There was one where it was snowing for a good six hours, but the temperature was 35 degrees for most of the day, so very little accumulated. So, I took a frozen piece of tupperware outside to have something the snow would actually accumulate on. Even after six hours, only half an inch fell on it.

More recently, there was a dusting that didn't amount to much. Its been three years since I've had a good snow.

We wound up with 2 inches of snow, which was less than expected thanks to warmer temperatures and a late wind shift, so more of the precip fell as rain than originally anticipated.

Inversion conditions setting up now and should last till next Tuesday, when another storm might be able to track just south enough to impact us. Although we could see some snow, it won't be anything too significant, and the bigger story might end up being some very cold temperatures behind it.

Yesterday was the warmest day in over a month in Salt Lake thanks to some strong south winds. The airport got up to 53 (warmest reading there since November 18), and many other observation sites in the Salt Lake Valley got at least a few degrees warmer than that. My car thermometer even hit 60 at one point. As you might imagine, that pretty much melted any snow that was still left below 6000 feet or so.

The warm came to a quick end this morning after a strong cold front came through. Although it didn't bring much snow in the valleys, the mountains got several inches and will probably get some more tonight. Certain parts of Salt Lake County may be lucky enough to pick up an inch or two of lake effect snow tonight, but as expected, the bigger story with this storm is the temperature drop. Lows will be in the teens for the next few nights, and tomorrow's high will likely fail to reach the freezing mark. Higher elevations will have a good shot at dipping below 0F.

Unfortunately, a strong high-pressure system will move in afterwards, which will bring back inversions. Looking like a hazy/smoggy/foggy Christmas for the Wasatch Front this year...with no snow on the ground.

Chicago is about 2 days ahead of Massachusetts. 59 and raining tomorrow (did you get rain?), but we're not getting the low temperatures afterwards.

44° now here, and lower than the surrounding area (and it's not the high point yet).

Dark Sky shows a sharp diagonal line from the AL/GA/TN tripoint to the PA/OH/ON tripoint (in water), and to the west of that line, it's suddenly colder. To the east of that line, it's pretty warm for December, with only a slight decrease in the Appalachians. It appears that this sharp line will fizzle before it gets to my location.

Had a white Christmas here, which only happens around 10-20% of the time in my experience. Got around 2-3 inches of powdery snow overnight into Christmas day, with another inch or so added on in the early afternoon, with temps in the low to mid 20's. The snow has stopped but with winds around 20 mph we now have a lot of drifting going on.

We had a surprise dusting to 1/2 inch of snow last night in Salt Lake. Normally this isn't enough to worry about, but apparently thanks to the relatively lame winter we've had so far everyone forgot how to drive in it. It usually takes a few more inches of snow to cause the amount of traffic accidents we saw on the freeways this morning.

Unfortunately, it appears this storm was too weak to clear the inversion completely, and thanks to the snow that fell this morning we're probably going to see quite a bit of fog in most valleys tonight. Looks like we will have a few weak storms next week, which should keep valley inversions from becoming too bad and hopefully give us at least a little snow.

Much of the state of MO is starting their new year with an ice storm. The freezing line is a bit south of here, so I am recieving some ice, but probably not enough to cause an outage.. only because it's once degree below freezing.

Meanwhile, we're getting some good accumulating snow here in Central Oklahoma. Very unusual to have as much snow as we've had already this winter, and January and February are normally our big snow months.

There was also freezing rain the night before yesterday, and our neighbor's tree fell into their house!. An inch of ice on all the plants.

With our second snowfall arriving last night, we've tied you up at two.  :)
Third snowfall this morning; around an inch or so and still falling... slowly...
Fourth snowfall this morning; just a dusting that hardly covered the grass, but still enough to create some very icy roads.
Fifth snowfall creating messy roads just in time for our afternoon commute. It's still coming down as of this post, but it's much worse further south. ...
Woke up to snowfall #6 this morning, a sloppy inch or so thanks to temps hovering right around freezing.
We got our seventh snowfall last night; it was just a dusting, but areas downwind of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario got a lot more.
Snowfall #8 should ensure there's snow on the ground for New Year's. We got a good 3-4 inches last night and more is falling now.

Snow much for snow on New Years. What we did have was long gone by then, and there's been basically nothing since aside from a sloppy dusting at home (nothing at work) yesterday morning.

It's been pretty perfect in Seattle the last couple days: partly to mostly cloudy, upper 40s. Got in an 8-mile walk on Wednesday (06 Jan) and a 15-mile bike ride today (Thursday 07 Jan). It was really nice to do that since neither are very fun when it's rainy. I can walk to the store when it's raining but 8 miles in the rain is crap and I'd rather hit a treadmill.

Rainy, wet, sloppy day here in Houston today with the high peaking at about 45 early this morning. Barely missed out on some snow, although Waco and Lufkin did get quite a bit. Next week figures to be sunny and relatively cool, with highs around 60 and lows around 40.

As many of you may have seen on TV, it started snowing downtown right about when the VP-elect came out onto the platform. It started here shortly afterwards. Swirling, tiny flakes, highly unlikely to amount to anything.

So far 2021's been pretty interesting in terms of weather. The first 14-16 days had mostly below average temperatures and numerous cold fronts, but over the past week the weather has stagnated into a cloudy 70s/60s pattern. The past 4 days have been especially dreary. Wednesday was foggy all day, something that I don't see that often, and it has been cloudy since. The clouds will likely remain for at least a couple more days along with the high (for winter) temperatures.

On a side note, it's not terribly uncommon for the temperature to reach 80 degrees here in the winter (maybe once a year), but so far it hasn't happened yet, which is nice.

I had a 15 degree low this morning at my home, which astounds me that it's the coldest January morning so far.

The avg. low temp at my home, with 15 years of data tracking, is a whopping 7.5 degrees above normal. The avg. high temp is 2.9 degrees above normal.

Also odd that the range of temps in the month is only 15-51. Last year it was 7-70.

We went almost the entire month of January at or above normal. The only below normal days was Thursday, Friday, and yesterday. Even after this snowstorm our highs are still expected to remain at or above the late January/early Feb averages

Heavy rain this morning. Still cloudy.

Side note: If you go to this link (https://flightaware.com/live/airport/KDFW/), you'll see most flights coming into DFW by going to the south and swinging around Austin. This is because of t-storms over Tyler and Texarkana, east of Dallas.

Had a nice squall line move through Atlanta overnight. I was awakened about 5 AM by thunder and lightning along with some fairly heavy rain. For the most part no severe weather was reported around here, though there were a handful of severe thunderstorm warnings issued and even a tornado warning for Cobb County (about 10 miles from me).

The same can't be said for Alabama, as a strong tornado hit the northern Birmingham suburbs about midnight last night causing one death and multiple injuries. Haven't seen an official rating yet but based on the photos I'm guessing EF2-EF3 range.

More snow today, a lot more. There's over a foot on the ground now and it's still coming. Supposedly, it's the after-effects of the nor'easter that just hit the East Coast, but no doubt enhanced by the lake effect since it was mostly "north of the Thruway" all day, but looks to have now spread to most of Western and Central NY.  The weather.gov forecast jumped from predicting 4-6 inches this morning to now predicting 7-11 inches.

I remember arguing with my one of my classmates, with him claiming that Nor'easters brought us the heaviest snow, while I claimed that winds from the northwest would bring us the heaviest snow.

He was right, of course. My thought process was that a Nor'easter is a storm that moves in a northeasterly direction, and therefore, since the lake is north of us, the storm would generate the heaviest snow north and east of the lake, while we're south of the lake. What I didn't understand is that the storm develops because of wind from the northeast on the north side of the system. Therefore, as the Nor'easter forms, the wind here is often blowing southwest, right off the lake towards Rochester, even as the system as a whole moves east. The wind and snow is then enhanced by the lake effect, and heavy snow can linger south of the lake long after the main storm system has moved away. That's exactly what's playing out right now.

Warm today, with a high of 75 and relatively windy. A cold front's supposed to come through tonight, but the real action comes next week, as temperatures could get cold enough on Thursday or Friday for us to get freezing rain or even snow. The Euro model currently shows some sleet for the Houston area on that Friday.

I realize full well that there's still plenty of time left before Spring, but...  It hasn't dropped below 16 degrees at all this year in Wichita.  If we don't have a decent cold snap, I have a feeling the bugs are going to be out in force when the weather warms up later.

Hopefully, that will come next week.

Idk about Wichita, but St. Louis is having some bitterly cold days next week. Thursday looks to be a high of 16 and a low of 0.

Coldest I've ever felt here is -5. That was around the winter of 2013, which is one of the coldest we've ever had.

Huh, I'd have figured Saint Louis gets colder than that.  I remember a huge blizzard while we were living in Herrin (IL), but I don't remember the temperatures.  It's rare here for the temp to not drop below zero at least once during the winter.

I lived off and on in St Louis between 2009 and 2012, but primarily only late Spring, Summer, and Fall. From what I recall hearing from my father, snow and cold temps really aren't that nutty compared to other Midwest locales.

Meanwhile, I can count on one hand the number of times temps have dropped below zero here in my lifetime. That's largely thanks to the moderating influence of the Great Lakes, but in general, temperature extremes become more common the further west you go.

Yeah, I remember a trip up north to Minnesota several years ago.  When we left Wichita, it was below zero.  It stayed below zero for our entire drive north to Minnesota, stayed below zero the entire time we were there, and stayed below zero for the trip back south again until we were about 100 miles from Wichita, when it got up to about six degrees.

And then there's the Dakotas, where sub-zero temperatures are not only common, but expected, and they're lucky if temps get above freezing once between spring and fall.

Meanwhile, around here a dozen freeze/thaws in a single month would be completely normal. Less than one a week (due to either extended warmth or extended cold) is rare enough to be a real conversation piece.

Looks like the weather in these parts will stay in the icebox for at least a couple weeks. CPC and long-range models suggest cold weather like this through about the third week of Feb if not longer.

I generally dislike cold weather.  It's only once every four or five years that I actually look forward to the coming of winter.  Yesterday, my wife and the daycare kids and I were all out in front yard and driveway, in between my getting home from work and their parents coming to pick them up.  We were outside in our shirt sleeves, enjoying the gorgeous sunny weather–the kids drawing on the driveway with sidewalk chalk and playing tag.  And then I saw the thousands of itty-bitty little bugs flying all over the yard, and the flower shoots starting to poke up through the dead grass of the garden, and I thought to myself, Crap, if it doesn't get really cold before Spring, we're in for it!

And then there's Houston, where the lowest temperature ever recorded is just 4 degrees Fahrenheit. The coldest it's been this winter was about 30, and the coldest I think it's been since I moved here is about 26 or so. The temperature keeps dropping in the forecast for next week, so Valentine's day may end up being the coldest day Houston's felt in a while. Fingers crossed that we get snow. More likely a wintry mess or a sloppy cold rain.

On another note, the coldest temperature I've experienced was about 13 or so in Memphis on New Year's 2018.

With our second snowfall arriving last night, we've tied you up at two.  :)
Third snowfall this morning; around an inch or so and still falling... slowly...
Fourth snowfall this morning; just a dusting that hardly covered the grass, but still enough to create some very icy roads.
Fifth snowfall creating messy roads just in time for our afternoon commute. It's still coming down as of this post, but it's much worse further south. ...
Woke up to snowfall #6 this morning, a sloppy inch or so thanks to temps hovering right around freezing.
We got our seventh snowfall last night; it was just a dusting, but areas downwind of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario got a lot more.
Snowfall #8 should ensure there's snow on the ground for New Year's. We got a good 3-4 inches last night and more is falling now.
It's been a remarkably snow-free January so far, but back-to-back morning snowfalls have brought our season total up to 10.
Another half-inch or so this morning, still swirling around with gusty winds.
Yet another dusting yesterday morning, and now, finally, some more substantial snowfall yesterday afternoon/evening and into this morning. There's probably about 4-5 inches on the ground, easily the most we've had all year.
And now today, finally some sustained daytime snowfall for the first time this year!
Another dusting last night brought our current snow depth well over 6 inches, and with frigid temps in store for at least a week, I'd set the over/under for when we'll see grass again at about Feb. 18th.

More snow today, a lot more. There's over a foot on the ground now and it's still coming. Supposedly, it's the after-effects of the nor'easter that just hit the East Coast, but no doubt enhanced by the lake effect since it was mostly "north of the Thruway" all day, but looks to have now spread to most of Western and Central NY.  The weather.gov forecast jumped from predicting 4-6 inches this morning to now predicting 7-11 inches.

Windy (but partly sunny) today after another inch or so of snow blew in off Lake Erie last night.

Today was a perfect day in terms of weather: sunny, crisp, and a high of around 60. Update on the possible snow next week: it's looking more and more unlikely. The two possibilities for the weather late next week are:
1. Rain then sun with highs in the 50s
or
2. Freezing rain and/or sleet with highs in the 30s

I personally hope for scenario #2.

Nice and white.  We had light snow Saturday morning, and it's still around thanks to the low temps.  Some freezing drizzle and freezing flurries have kept the white frosting on everything fresh.

Roads are decent here, although traffic is still driving cautiously.  It's a granular texture, not a slick surface.

I'm keeping the driveway shoveled--I did it yesterday (18° F), and will do it today (12° F).  There are currently no days in the forecast for the coming week with temperatures above freezing; the highest predicted high is 21° F this Thursday, February 11.

This is an excellent time to be running synthetic motor oil and ATF and to have car batteries sitting on maintainers.

We had sleet mix in with rain in Atlanta on Saturday, and flurries were also seen in several locations around the metro. No impacts inside the perimeter, but snow was even sticking to roads in the far northeast metro which prompted a winter weather advisory for as far down as Gwinnett and Forsyth Counties.

Should get some rain and maybe a few rumbles of thunder later this week, though probably just isolated and nothing close to severe levels. It's still unclear how much of this upcoming arctic blast will make it down into Georgia this weekend and early next week, but that and then the possibility of a winter precip event early next week bear watching.

Temperatures here in Wichita have not been above the freezing point since overnight February 5-6, and they are not predicted to get up there again until the week-end after next.  If the forecast is correct, that will have been two solid weeks below 32°F.

We've had multiple days of light snow or flurries, with some more snow expected early next week.  The forecast for Monday currently has a low of —15°F, which I'm pretty sure would be the lowest temperature I've ever personally experienced here (I've experienced colder in Minnesota, but only by a few degrees).

In general, it kind of feels like I'm living back in Chicagoland, rather than a city at lower latitude than Louisville, KY.

Strikingly similar out here. The last time we had temps above freezing was midday on Friday Feb. 5th. Other than that day and the two days prior, it's been below freezing since at least January 27th. (https://www.timeanddate.com/weather/usa/rochester/historic)

Upthread, I set the over/under for when we'd see the grass again at Feb. 18th. With over a foot of snow still on the ground and more coming as we speak, it looks like we'll easily hit the over, surprising since much of January was snow-free and it's rare for us to go more than a week or two without a significant thaw.

Snow on the ground in central OK. More to come over the next few days. Some models are showing 14 inches (!!) on Sunday, and of course that's the one the for-profit forecasters have glommed onto. NWS isn't going out on that limb quite yet.

Preliminary NWS forecasts expect as much as seven inches of snow for Springfield, MO (though at the moment, 5in seems the most likely). Springfield has not received more than 2.5 inches at one time since at least the mid 2010s. Windchills could get down to -20.

My sister and her husband got into town from Iowa yesterday, and the plan was to spend time with them at my parents' house tomorrow.  However, the forecast for Saturday night calls for less than four inches or up to ten inches of snow, depending on which forecast you look at.  So we're meeting up this evening instead, in case they need to bail out of town tomorrow to get ahead of the snow.

I've been seeing reports of overheated forecasts of as much as 14 inches of snow for my local area beginning Sunday.  I'm ordinarily not one to panic-buy, but as we just opened our last gallon jug of milk, I plan to be doing next week's shopping tonight rather than Saturday as usual.

The temperature has been in the upper 30s all day, and it has been cloudy. The temperature could reach single digits in some parts of Houston, but the official low forecast for Tuesday morning is 12 freakin' degrees! It may not get out of the 40s until Friday. This is surreal what is about to happen.

To really appreciate how shocking this weekend's weather will be, consider this metric: the record low for Houston on February 15th is 31 degrees. The high for Monday is 28. I know I keep going on about this, but I am excited.

Snowed last night and into this morning. 5 degrees. Looks like the blanket of snow isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

I drove in it this morning. Saw no fewer than four accidents. There was barely any plowing done when I went out; local streets were completely untouched.

One car spun out and hit this exit sign (https://www.google.com/maps/@38.7929032,-90.563042,3a,60y,324.41h,88.53t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s35y9nqgF_vRSutD9ewd5rA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192/). Here's a picture.

The temperature has been in the upper 30s all day, and it has been cloudy. The temperature could reach single digits in some parts of Houston, but the official low forecast for Tuesday morning is 12 freakin' degrees! It may not get out of the 40s until Friday. This is surreal what is about to happen.

To really appreciate how shocking this weekend's weather will be, consider this metric: the record low for Houston on February 15th is 31 degrees. The high for Monday is 28. I know I keep going on about this, but I am excited.
That is weird! Is their any precip? A good friend of mine is supposed to fly DFW-IAH-LFT (Dallas to Houston to Lafayette) on United on Monday and they sent out a waiver.

Sunny and cold now, but it'll get worse. Forecast highs for both tomorrow and Monday are in the 1 to 4 degree range, with forecast lows ranging from -2 to -7. The cold is partially justified by another system, the one projected to give a wallop to the southern Plains and lower Mississippi River Valley, looking to give us 2 to 5 inches of snow between around noon Sunday and early Monday morning. (The cold itself might be justified, but just not how cold it is.) Though fortunately, we should finally be on the upswing through next week, potentially reaching back above freezing  by next Friday with a forecast high in the low to mid 30's. Can't believe I'd be excited by that but here we are.  :spin:

We finally broke above 20 degrees for the first time in a week yesterday only to plunge back into the deep freeze for the weekend. Another chance of snow tonight and tomorrow and potentially the coldest Valentine's Day ever on Sunday.

There is finally an above-freezing temperature in the 10-day forecast. Sunday 2/21 has an expected high of 34.

Yeah we finally see the 20s again by Wednesday and potentially the 30s by next weekend, a heat wave!

Texas is about to shut down for a week, there are parts that have no snow removal equipment or tools and with already one ice storm down and potentially two larger ice/snow storms enroute.... oh boy

The show is just getting started here. We are now under a winter storm warning (in fact, most of Texas is), which is super rare for us. It looks like the north side of HOU will get a lot of snow, but the south side (where I'm at) will get quite a bit of freezing rain and sleet instead, which sucks. One local forecaster used the term "BLIZZARD CONDITIONS" for north HOU, since the wind will be so strong. The same guy said Houston might break its all-time lowest temperature record.

The wind chill values are insane, too; there's nary an above zero value for the entire Houston area.

To get back up the driveway, I more or less pushed with my left foot like a skateboarder. (It's not at all a steep hill, but the shoes I put on to go outside are old with basically no tread left.)

All supposed to melt today. I hope so.

the forecast for Saturday night calls for less than four inches or up to ten inches of snow, depending on which forecast you look at.

The 'less than four inches' of snow forecasters were correct, as my wife and I were confident they would be.  Wichita seemingly never gets as much snow as we'd like.  The great majority of weather forecasters were predicting ten inches or so, but www.wunderground.com never wavered from their 1—4" forecast.  Just even more confirmation that they're trustworthy.

No, but I suspect drifting may be a big issue for those in drift-prone areas.  It's very dry snow with strong winds.

Similar case here. While its been "snowing" for several hours already, no more than a half-inch has accumulated. Looking at the radar, Springfield is in between two heavier bands, but it looks like there's one coming from Oklahoma that will give us the bulk of our snow.

Its cold: 9F with Windchill of -9F

Light snow overnight, and then 6"+ of snow forecast for Monday afternoon, with Monday Hi of 11F and Low of 2F. Early forecasts had 4", but apparently the snow is supposed to be "less dense"/fluffier, if that makes sense.

WSIL-ABC3's weather team (chief meteorologist did a facebook live show from his house this afternoon, and the meteorologist at the studio this afternoon also did a facebook report from the office) said that typically, the volume of water is equivalent, or ratio if you will, 1" rain = 10" snow. Well, the snowfall on Monday is expected to be a ratio of 1" rain = 15-20" snow, which bumped the accumulation numbers up to at least 6 inches. Combined with 10-20 MPH winds all day tomorrow.

Light, fluffy snow with high winds can cause a lot of blowing/drifting and pretty bad driving conditions

My time so far in Southern Illinois, that is a lot of snow in this part of the state, and it is pretty cold too, and windy. The entire Cape Girardeau/Carbondale/Paducah TV DMA is under a Winter Storm Warning

Basically, the 2 weather-men on WSIL said to "get home and stay home" from 12 Noon Monday until Tuesday - and if you have to get out, have a full tank of gas, a blanket and/or sleeping bag and a pillow, and other items needed to overnight somewhere

PSA:   If you're an able-bodied adult with a shovel, please remember to take care of your neighbors' driveways too.  No man is an island.

I just got back in from shoveling our driveway (current temperature 3°F).  While I was out there, I did a couple of our neighbors' driveways too–ladies who aren't as able-bodied or used to hard work as I am.  When I got back inside, my wife let me know that one of those neighbors had sent her a message thanking me because, after recovering from COVID, she developed emphysema and therefore can't tolerate being out in the cold weather.  We didn't even know she'd had COVID, let alone emphysema as a side-effect.  This could be your neighbor too.

First time I can remember ever observing a negative temperature myself. (I know it's happened here in my lifetime, but always when I was asleep or otherwise busy.) Normally the coldest it gets is in the high single digits, and that's extreme and remarkable.

I went out in it just to experience it. Yeah, it's not fun. I took a ruler to measure the snow; best I could tell we have six inches on the ground now, but I didn't want to go out and walk around in it to sample a few different places because I don't have any footwear that makes the idea of doing so palatable. I almost fell over a few times since I'm not really accustomed to walking in six inches of loose snow.

"Snow showers" (I'm guessing this means ice chunks vs light fluffy flakes?)

17°

Roads in the northwest region have been officially deemed "impassable" by LaDOTD. It has been a couple of decades since we had a serious shit show like this one. And the precipitation is still coming down pretty heavy. I  am used to hearing 18-wheelers passing in front of my house all hours of the night. Been up since 3:45 a.m. and haven't heard a single vehicle go by. Kinda eerie.

Currently —8°F, with some extra flurries this morning just for fun.  The car barely started this morning, and I'm considering disconnecting the battery after work to bring it inside overnight.  Tonight's low is forecast to be —11°F.

The roads are fine here, though.  The main streets are well sanded, the highways are down to the pavement on all but the leftmost lane, and this snow is not icy at all.  It's so dry, it just blows around into tiny drifts.

I didn't measure the snow on the ground, but it was clearly at the low end of the forecasts.  Right where www.wunderground.com said it would be, though, from what I can estimate.

Measured 4-5 inches of snow on the ground today. With the second wave, I'm only expected to get 3-4 inches, but if for some reason the storm track were to move north, I would be recieving double that amount. This is the most snow Springfield has received in 8 or so years.

Currently 45 with some light rain showers in ATL. Actually had some thunderstorms earlier today, including at least one lightning strike about a mile from me. But that was nothing compared to South Georgia and the Florida panhandle, which saw several severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings this afternoon. In particular, Damascus GA was hit by a significant tornado - we'll probably get a rating on that tomorrow or the day after.

Tonight, the arctic air will finally make a push into Georgia although it won't be anywhere near as cold as most of the rest of the country is experiencing. That said, the 3/4 inch of rain earlier today combined with a low of 25 will be perfect for black ice formation tonight. Many schools and institutions around the Atlanta metro will be on a 2 hour delay tomorrow as a result.

The high tomorrow is going to be 34 - over 20 degrees below average - with wind chills around 10. At least we'll see the sun for the first time in a week.

Roads almost statewide in Arkansas have a good coating of snow on them from the first of two major winter storms (Uri, Viola). About 8 to 10 inches on the ground in my locale. Another 6 to 10 inches is predicted for Tuesday night until early Thursday morning. Until we get warmer weather soon, Central AR and points north will pretty much grind to a halt.

7 a.m.

2/16/21

The KSLA Ch. 12 app on my phone is showing +7°F for my location. The last time it was this cold in this area (using stats from the Shreveport NWS) was December 1989...31 years!

Fun fact: the coldest temperature ever recorded in Louisiana: -16°F, recorded 30 miles west of me in Minden, in 1899. So it can get worse around here if Mother Nature really tried hard enough.

As for round 2, it's supposed to roll in here about midnight/1 a.m. and last al the way through Thursday! Accumulation predicted to be 2-4 more inches of snow & ice when it is all said and done.  This is the most accumulation of snow & ice I have seen here since the early 80s.

It was around —10°F when I left for work this morning.  No snow since yesterday afternoon, although it's possible we'll get a few more flurries later today.  By and large, though, today is forecast to be partly sunny with temps getting up to 12°F at around 4:00.

The highways here are still mostly clear.  The two right lanes have been pretty clear all day yesterday and today, and the left lane is easy enough to drive in for passing, even if it has occasional snow pack due to drifting.  Major streets are either un-slippery snow pack or else sanded/salted.  Side streets remain unplowed, but this snow gives plenty of traction.

We haven't personally had a blackout yet, but the power company has already said they'll be doing more of them today.  They recommended people to keep their thermostats set between 65°F and 68°F.  Ours is set at 70°F, which leaves the main living areas at around 65—67°F, our bedrooms at around 55—60°F, and the back half-bath at around 52°F (partly because our kids have a habit of leaving bathroom doors closed when nobody's in there, so no heat makes it in).  My wife runs a licensed home daycare, and state regulations require us to maintain at least 65°F indoors.  Considering that the areas the daycare kids are in are currently 65—67°F, we can't really afford much of a blackout.  If the temp drops below 65°F, she's required to call parents and have them pick their kids up.  Yeesh...

I have never known a time when Wichita has plowed side streets, though some suburbs (e.g., Bel Aire) do.  I have walked up our street with a shovel several times in past snowstorms to clear intersection throats where cars tend to get stuck unless they come through with some momentum.

We haven't had power cuts either.  Supposedly Wichita will continue to be at risk at least through Wednesday, when temperatures are forecast to rise to the twenties.  I understand planned power cuts have already occurred in the Kansas River cities (Salina, Manhattan, Topeka, Kansas City).

I have reservations about the suggestion to set thermostats as low as 65° F.  When power is cut to the thermostat in a house, it is not uncommon--and may in fact be routine--for a gas furnace not to cycle back on even when the power comes back on, unless and until the heating pattern is manually re-selected on the thermostat.  I've seen reports of indoor temperatures dropping 10° F within 20 minutes, and if the starting temperature is 65° F, that drop will allow pipes to freeze.

Did you take the battery inside?

No, I didn't.  I suspected that yesterday morning's hard start was in part due to the fact that, on Sunday, I had started the car to move it off the driveway during shoveling, then started it to put it back in the driveway later.  Thus, I had drained the battery some but not driven anywhere to allow the alternator to recharge it.  And sure enough, starting the car this morning was no more difficult than yesterday.  Though, I did tell my boss there was a possibility it wouldn't start for me.

My car has a lingering timing issue, the cause of which is unknown and therefore not fixed.  I decided not to remove the battery overnight and risk the ECM resetting and causing the problem to worsen.

Fortunately, we have a basement that runs almost the entire length of the house, so most all the pipes are indoors or underground.  The only sink whose pipes we're at all worried about leaks anyway, so it "trickles" on its own.

Once, when I was in high school in Atwood, we got ten inches of snow.  The town has wide streets and not a lot of resources, so the streets would typically go unplowed unless the accumulation was a decent amount.  This time, though, they decided to plow a single lane down the side streets rather than the typical two lanes.  So we each got to shovel our driveway and three-eighths of the street!

(As an aside...  Living without the side streets being plowed means our driveways are never blocked by the shove-off from the snowplow.  Turning into your driveway at speed in order to barrel through–that isn't a thing here.)

Melting/freezing is a problem in the Seattle area for sure.

For some reason, our heaviest snows occur just below freezing. Our snow tends to be very wet, and it really freezes hard. I encountered dry snow for the first time in MSP a few years ago, and it was really weird for me as I'm used to snowflakes being huge, building up very quickly, and then freezing hard.

The Seattle region got a bunch of snow this past weekend (anywhere from a couple inches to about a foot) and Sunday was tough for some, as it got above freezing during the day Saturday in many places but then dropped below freezing again that evening. So the next morning, all the slush and compact snow was super slick. It also snowed overnight again (substantially in some places) and so it was layered snow > ice > snow which made it even more interesting.

Thankfully, it was over a long weekend and with many coronavirus restrictions in place, people really weren't going anywhere so crashes were minimal.

Currently 45 with some light rain showers in ATL. Actually had some thunderstorms earlier today, including at least one lightning strike about a mile from me. But that was nothing compared to South Georgia and the Florida panhandle, which saw several severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings this afternoon. In particular, Damascus GA was hit by a significant tornado - we'll probably get a rating on that tomorrow or the day after.

Tonight, the arctic air will finally make a push into Georgia although it won't be anywhere near as cold as most of the rest of the country is experiencing. That said, the 3/4 inch of rain earlier today combined with a low of 25 will be perfect for black ice formation tonight. Many schools and institutions around the Atlanta metro will be on a 2 hour delay tomorrow as a result.

The high tomorrow is going to be 34 - over 20 degrees below average - with wind chills around 10. At least we'll see the sun for the first time in a week.
Louder than normal lightning had me sleeping on the couch. It was 40 degrees (really!) and it was an inverted air mass. Its now sunny and windy.

I have found that letting the battery sit on a maintainer takes away a lot of the worry associated with cold starts.  Admittedly, this is easier to do when the car is garaged.

My Saturn has started without trouble, but the motorized seatbelts really don't like the cold.  The little belt mouse that scurries in its track in summer has slowed down to a lethargic crawl in these subzero temperatures.

If I am shoveling a driveway clear to the bottom of the apron, I also shovel the gutter across the driveway opening and for a few feet on either side.  Then I cut into the spoil heaps on both ends of the windrow and tip them onto the lawn.  This gives me a length of gutter a few feet on either side of our curbside mailbox where water will not pond and I can keep my feet dry while fetching the mail.

In the past I used also to cut a bevel from bare pavement in the gutter to the near edge of compacted snow in the street.  I don't bother with this nicety anymore, because I have discovered our cars aren't really blocked when backing out as long as the gutter is down to bare pavement.

I liked the sunshine too.

I went out today for a meeting, which was my first time on the road since the heavy snow arrived.  Because it has been powder all the way, there was just snowpack on the side streets and melt on the arterials, so I could not get the ABS to fire even with fairly heavy braking, or find a patch of ice suitable for triggering traction control.

I also shoveled a driveway that still had virgin snow.  It was in unblocked sunshine, so the thin film of snow left by the shovel was melting almost instantly and drying about ten to fifteen feet behind me, even though it was 5° F at the time.  I almost overheated in my parka despite not having the hood up, which surprised me since yesterday and the day before I'd felt just barely warm enough with the hood up under overcast skies (some of the difference presumably came from wind out of the north and temperatures up to ten degrees cooler).

I'm afraid it's going to be a big slushy mess for three days or so once temperatures go above freezing this Saturday.

I think much of the difference may be accounted for by spacing between snowstorms.  Generally speaking, we don't usually have snow staying on the ground for days or even weeks between storms, so the side streets are effectively self-clearing.  When we had snow linger in 2013 and 2014, the resulting driving conditions on the side streets were so bad I was shoveling intersection throats essentially to backfill the lack of snowplowing.

That's a good point. The frequency of snowfall we get here is somewhat unique to the Great Lakes region, especially compared to the Great Plains where it's much drier. While freeze-thaw cycles are common, snow often falls on back to back nights, and sometimes on as many as a dozen consecutive days. It's unpredictable at best, but we certainly couldn't count on snow melting or turning to hard pack before another or several more snows arrived.

More snow here today, with temperatures approaching 20. Still sounds cold, but a drastic improvement from Monday when we didn't even crack 0. We look to finally beat freezing on Saturday with a forecast high of 37. A warming trend continues through the start of next week, possible even back above average with a glorious forecast high of 53(!) next Tuesday.

It's a question of manpower, and available equipment, and inevitably, of snow removal budgets. 
After growing up in SE PA until my mid-30s, I lived in Rochester for 10 years, and the difference is night and day.  WNY just throws more resources at it...and so they are much much better at it.

Hey I'm back online after my brief disappearance. The power's been out and it's crazy.

First off, Monday morning my house got about half an inch of snow or so, but it looked really weird because sleet and freezing rain stuck to the driveway and the roads, causing the snow to stick to it as well, leaving the roads as white as a sheet and the grass semi-covered in it. That looked odd. Also the power went out on Monday morning and only came on for 30 minutes over the next 33 hours. It's been on since.

We smashed our previous low record for President's day at 15 degrees (the previous record was 30), and a tiny bit of snow is still hanging around on the rooftops and in the flowerbeds.

Luckily our pipes haven't burst, but the city water is down, which means I'll probably have to squat outside to take a poopy.

We were on the western edge of that cold air mass. It could have been worse. Wind chills over the weekend were around 20 below.

Here in Wichita, temperatures reached 32° F for about two hours this afternoon.  (The low this morning was 8° F.)  Though we didn't quite go above freezing, it is clear our long ordeal of subfreezing temperatures--we went under 32° F at around 3 AM on Saturday, February 6, and stayed there without interruption for almost 14 days--is drawing to a close.

I dropped to a single layer and did a couple of loads of laundry, one of which included my long johns, which are now drying on the shower rail before returning to storage, possibly for multiple years.

We will probably not see any further significant snow this season.  I'm now waiting for the slush to go so I can blast the salt off the family cars, which are slowly dropping gray snow and melt out of their wheel wells as they sit in the garage.

With our second snowfall arriving last night, we've tied you up at two.  :)
Third snowfall this morning; around an inch or so and still falling... slowly...
Fourth snowfall this morning; just a dusting that hardly covered the grass, but still enough to create some very icy roads.
Fifth snowfall creating messy roads just in time for our afternoon commute. It's still coming down as of this post, but it's much worse further south. ...
Woke up to snowfall #6 this morning, a sloppy inch or so thanks to temps hovering right around freezing.
We got our seventh snowfall last night; it was just a dusting, but areas downwind of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario got a lot more.
Snowfall #8 should ensure there's snow on the ground for New Year's. We got a good 3-4 inches last night and more is falling now.
It's been a remarkably snow-free January so far, but back-to-back morning snowfalls have brought our season total up to 10.
Another half-inch or so this morning, still swirling around with gusty winds.
Yet another dusting yesterday morning, and now, finally, some more substantial snowfall yesterday afternoon/evening and into this morning. There's probably about 4-5 inches on the ground, easily the most we've had all year.
And now today, finally some sustained daytime snowfall for the first time this year!
Another dusting last night brought our current snow depth well over 6 inches, and with frigid temps in store for at least a week, I'd set the over/under for when we'll see grass again at about Feb. 18th.

More snow today, a lot more. There's over a foot on the ground now and it's still coming. Supposedly, it's the after-effects of the nor'easter that just hit the East Coast, but no doubt enhanced by the lake effect since it was mostly "north of the Thruway" all day, but looks to have now spread to most of Western and Central NY.  The weather.gov forecast jumped from predicting 4-6 inches this morning to now predicting 7-11 inches.

Windy (but partly sunny) today after another inch or so of snow blew in off Lake Erie last night.

It's been a minute since I added to this, but now that Feb 18th (my prediction for when we'd see grass again) has come and gone, I might as well circle back and say: I was wrong... and not only was I wrong, I figured it was too aggressive, and instead, it was too conservative. We just reached 32 degrees today for the first time since I made that prediction.

This rivals February 2015 for the coldest calendar month on record.

It has astonished me how fast things have thawed.  We first sat at freezing on Friday afternoon.  By Saturday, hardpacked snow on side streets had turned into patchy slush.  On Sunday, it was nearly all dry except for puddles in gutters and crown runoff slabs in intersections.  I took an afternoon walk for the first time since the cold arrived and was surprised not to have to sidestep any sidewalk puddles, as I usually have to do after heavy snowfall.

Today's predicted high is 70° F.

In Kansas there is now anxiety about how we will be paying for gas and electric costs incurred during the frigid spell two weeks ago, when spot wholesale prices increased by factors of 200 or more.  The most seriously affected are customers of small municipally owned utilities and local cooperatives, which buy on the spot market (Winfield, for example, has reported that customers who normally pay under $100 a month would see bills of $2,500 or more for February if there were no cost smoothing), but it is becoming clear that the much larger companies that serve Wichita and Kansas City have had some exposure, to the extent that they've spent 40 to 50 times as much on fuel and power as they would during a typical month (February 2021 costs equivalent to four times costs for all of 2020).

As a state, Kansas is more thoroughly winterized than Texas and not as aggressively deregulated, so there haven't been reports of five-figure bills through Griddy or whatever.  But in the medium term, a major concern is that the southward shift of the jet stream due to warming at the poles may make periods of extreme cold no longer infrequent.

The power company sent out notice a while ago saying not to worry, stating that the issue in Texas is due in part to the fact that it's deregulated there.

Won't the downturn in power usage due to the recent warm spell help offset the extra use seen earlier?

It doesn't, when the underlying wholesale costs spike to the levels seen just after Valentine's Day.  Taking gas as an example, it takes a lot of reduced consumption at $8/mmBTU to offset elevated consumption at $1900/mmBTU.

The KCC has announced rate investigations.  Pending the outcomes of these, I'm not sure how this situation might get resolved except through the state bailing out the utilities or requiring the wholesale providers to take a haircut.  The latter would be easier to justify if there turn out to be indications of profiteering.

Yeah, I went to the store the other day and decided to pick up some firewood because it's nice to have in snow.  Then five other people behind me bought a lot of firewood, I guess thinking Colorado could be in the same state as TX was a couple weeks ago.  Even if our power goes out, we have 0° sleeping bags that can keep us plenty warm. :)

We did our grocery runs the last few days to get prepared for this storm. I'm in Parker, so I'm on the edge of the Palmer Divide, but I'm also right next to Cherry Creek, so I'm probably at one of the lowest elevations in Douglas County. Yet, I'm not planning to go ANYWHERE until Monday afternoon. I would be surprised at anything less than a foot and a half.

Our friends just made it up from Mexico Tuesday night.  They've now dropped their kids off with family and driven out to South Fork for come "couple time" in a cabin before the baby comes.  He texted me last night with "Big snowstorm headed this way!!!" and a link to a WaPo article.  Well, hate to break it to you, bud, but I don't know if more than a couple inches are going to make it down that far south...

At least they should get to see some snow, though.  He loves winter weather, and I don't think they got any snowfall at all this past winter in their part of Mexico.  They got to see some on the mountain peaks south of town, but nothing down below.

It's been quite warm and dry lately in Atlanta with highs in the 70s and dewpoints down in the 20s and 30s. That would make for a great time to be outside ... except that it's been quite smoky thanks to some prescribed burns in the area.

Smoke has gone down today but humidity is up significantly, with dewpoints back in the 50s. We'll see some rain to start off next week. Maybe an outside chance at some severe weather too, but the possibility of that is much less certain.

High risk of severe thunderstorms has been issued for central Mississippi and surrounding areas. This is a very rare designation - it is the first high risk since May 20, 2019, and only the second since May 2017. Intense long track tornadoes are very possible in this area.

Here in Atlanta we will thankfully be too far east for the big tornadoes, but we're likely to get a squall line of some sort tomorrow night which will likely bring a threat of damaging wind and a few weaker tornadoes.

I was living and working less than 20 miles from Henryville on March 2, 2012, when a high risk was issued for our area. I knew 2 families whose homes were missed by < 1000 yards. Take this threat seriously. Plan to spend the day in a building that has a basement.

You beat me to this post. Yesterday they only had it up to a moderate for that area, including Memphis and Birmingham, and I thought, "Northern Mississippi could be upgraded to a high risk by tomorrow morning." Indeed, I woke up to this on Twitter this morning.

V.  Third Winter
VI.  Spring
VII.  Tornado Season
VIII.  Summer
IX.  Road Construction
X.  Fall (for four days)
XI.  December
XII.  Christmas

We're currently in False Spring.  The second one will come later in March.

Called it.  Second False Spring just ended, and Third Winter has now arrived.

Last time I remember seeing one like you describe was 2015 - I lifeguarded at a neighborhood pool that summer, and there was a truck that came by most days.  All the kids, upon hearing the truck, would instantly get out of the pool, scream at their parents for money, and go get in line, leaving us with a few minutes of respite :-D

(the truck would usually give us lifeguards free ice creams as well, but they always seemed annoyed about it - there must have been some deal in the background between management on both sides that they had to :hmmm:

Had a tornado watch in effect for most of last night. The biggest action for me came around 3 AM, when a severe thunderstorm warning was issued for me for a rotating storm with 60 mph winds.

No tornadoes touched down in the immediate Atlanta area, but Newnan (30 miles SW of ATL) got hit hard by what was probably at least an EF-3 tornado. A very rare tornado emergency was issued for that storm, which thankfully weakened before it reached Peachtree City and Fayetteville. Preliminary indications also suggest that a tornado touched down and crossed I-75 in Bartow County.

Hopefully, today won't be as windy as yesterday.  When I went out for my usual lunch break walk at work yesterday, I could barely do it.  I'm tall and skinny, and I had to really lean into the wind.  Even then, I struggled to stay on the road.  It felt like at least 40-50 mph to me.  The top wind gust recorded at the east-side airport was 63 mph.

Kind of felt like Kansas!  (The wind here in Wichita usually isn't nearly as strong as it was where I grew up in northwestern Kansas.)

Snowing and very likely breaking the record for snowiest March ever recorded in Denver.  We needed 2.7" and looking at the patio table in the back yard, we're around 3.5-4".  It was 75° yesterday and supposed to get back up to 52° tomorrow and then 70° on Thursday.  I love our weather.

We're breaking records in the opposite direction: 2020 and 2021 battling it out for the least snowiest March on record, and it's not even close after those two. I mean, they're extreme outliers from everything else in recent history. This March has been more spring-like than the average April.

There couldn't be a more classic set up for a blizzard to drop three feet of snow come mid-May.

We'll probably get one more big one in April, but I checked yesterday and despite the huge March, the snowpack in the mountains here is almost dead on average compared to the past 20 years.  I always check that this time of year to figure out how early I can start climbing mountains without having to deal with postholing in hip-high snow.

We're getting a lot of that wind up here too, I think. Yesterday I went on my usual daily bike ride: I live in a small town a mile east of a US Highway and the town is in a valley. Going west, the short county route spur that connects to the highway goes uphill to the highway. The wind - unsurprisingly - was coming from the west. It was a fun ride westbound, and as soon as I turned back east to head downhill into town, I was off with no effort at all. I swear I was doing the speed-limit (30 on the last half of the stretch) due to the wind/hill combo. It was fun. Nearly shot across the stop sign in town though, misjudging how long it would take to slow down from that speed.

77 and partly cloudy. The two week forecast is insane to look at though, as every single day is either mostly cloudy or partly cloudy. The temperatures are about the same, too, with highs ranging from 81 to 86 and lows ranging from 62 to 70 (keep in mind this is the range for two straight weeks).

At the start of my track meet it was mostly cloudy, windy, and 73. Now, a few hours later, it is clear.

Is there a difference between "Partly Sunny" and "Mostly Cloudy"? I have found that the NWS forecasts use the same image for both.

There is. "Partly sunny" is sunnier than "mostly cloudy".

If you're curious, the official NWS public forecast definitions are:
-Sunny: less than 1/8 of sky covered by clouds (at night: clear)
-Mostly sunny: 1/8 to 2/8 of sky covered by clouds (at night: mostly clear)
-Partly sunny: 3/8 to 5/8 of sky covered by clouds (at night: partly cloudy)
-Mostly cloudy: 6/8 to 7/8 of sky covered by clouds
-Cloudy: more than 7/8 of sky covered by clouds

Next week, low 70s and sunny. Other than tomorrow, very little rain in the forecast. Which is actually a bit unusual. Spring is never a wash-out but I'm not seeing big chances for rain after tomorrow really at all for at least a good week, if not longer.

This morning was a tale of three different weather events:

8:00 AM  Very muggy, around 75 and mostly cloudy.
9:30 AM  Windy, temperature dropped a bit, and rain threatened, but none came sadly.
11:00 AM  Sun came out and wind stopped, high shot up to around 82 or so.

The lack of rain we've had here as of late seems like it will plunge us into drought, and not much is expected over the next two weeks, so I'm expecting a burn ban to come into effect pretty soon.

It's been at least a week since a totally cloudy and/or rainy day. It's well deserved, honestly, as we just get so few sunny days between October and March. Vitamin D deficiency during fall and winter is real, and too often ignored by locals around here.

Usually Spring and Summer in the Pacific Northwest are quite sunny, contrary to popular belief. Still rains, but more sun. Summer is actually very dry and is the cause for rather frequent brush fires especially in freeway medians.

Yes, and of course, rain vs. sun is only part of the equation: even if it's sunny, it's not too easy to get a sun tan when it's still cold enough for a coat and gloves, as it is here today. 39 degrees and raining - blech.

Summers are usually great here too, but the difference is that springs can be rainy, especially early spring. Usually less so once we get to May/June, which usually have the best weather along with September/October.

Unseasonably cold for mid-April. Usually the high this time of year is about 75-80 degrees, but today the high was just 61 degrees. The wind was also blowing pretty hard, especially this morning, making it seem much colder than the 52 degrees it was at 0900.

Snow this early in the year is unusual for Wichita.  The first snowfall is often in December, sometimes even January or February.  Out where I grew up in northwestern Kansas, snow in October was more normal because, even though it was kind of in the rain shadow of the Rockies, some mountain snowstorms strong enough to make it past the front range were also strong enough to make it past the state line as well.  Here in the southeastern part of the state, though, snow in October is unusual.

The highways were slick as I was coming to work, and the some of the clearest spots were actually the worst:  ice instead of snow to drive on.

Well, I just found out that this October snow is even more unusual than I realized.  Wichita broke the record for snowfall on October 26, which had previously been only 0.5 inches.  Any snowfall today automatically breaks the record for October 27, because there has never been any recorded snowfall on this date in Wichita.  We also broke the record for lowest high temp and lowest low temp yesterday.

A strange year for weather around here.  Not only was our first snowfall unusually early in the season, but here we are in the middle of April and it's currently snowing.  I'm certainly not used to brushing snow off the car before work this late in the year.

We're breaking records in the opposite direction: 2020 and 2021 battling it out for the least snowiest March on record, and it's not even close after those two. I mean, they're extreme outliers from everything else in recent history. This March has been more spring-like than the average April.

There couldn't be a more classic set up for a blizzard to drop three feet of snow come mid-May.

The classic set up continues, with April now posing as May. We've reached the point where it actually is starting to look like spring, but I still won't be fooled into thinking nice weather is here for good.

Called it! Snow today - it is snowing now, in fact. Not sticking to the roads much fortunately, but there is about an inch on the ground. Kind of a weird dynamic with most everything in full bloom.

Here in Atlanta, the past week or so has been nice with highs in the low to mid 70s, but a cold front moved through last night and brought an end to that for now. Today's high is only 57, and it will feel colder than that thanks to some decently strong post-frontal winds. Wind advisory is in effect for today, along with a fire danger statement since humidities will be on the low side this afternoon. Would not be surprised to see a frost advisory for tonight since growing seasons have started and temps will be in the mid 30s.

After that, it will warm back up a bit and then we're looking at a pretty good strength storm for the Friday night and Saturday time frame. There will probably be at least some sort of severe thunderstorm threat, though we may be on the fringes of that as the better instability will probably stay further south over central and south GA. What appears more certain is that we will see lots of rain. I'll probably have to cancel my scheduled hike for Saturday.

A week straight of 70+ days (with a few spilling over into the 80s) and not much clouds until yesterday. Our false spring is almost over, thankfully...

Also a few dozen wildfires, in April, which does not bode well for our summer season. I'm stocking up on N95s.

Far from the first. MoDOT and its district accounts use "memes" to announce new projects, road closures, and more; on a regular basis. The one shown above is perhaps the only good one I've seen from the DOT.

Today was sunny with a high of 88. Last night was a different story, however. Around 11:30 PM, a nasty squall line blew in with straight-line winds gusting 40-60 mph (some of the strongest I've personally witnessed) and a heck of a lot of both positive and negative lightning for about 20 minutes. I estimate there was about 1 flash per second or some absurd number like that. Largely no damage, but a couple fences around town were blown over.

We had a fascinating weather day in Atlanta. Going into today we were in a slight risk of severe thunderstorms, which was supposed to be mainly for a line of storms that would move through in the morning, with a smaller possibility of more storms in the afternoon. The morning line never really materialized this far north (it did in south GA), and instead we just had several hours of heavy rain. That prompted our severe risk to get downgraded to marginal since a morning of heavy rain and clouds is generally one of the best ways to prevent afternoon storms, especially if the cloud deck stays through the day. Most models were suggesting this would be the case.

Except that's not what happened. Early this afternoon, just about all the clouds disappeared and we got several hours of full sun to heat up the area... so we got upgraded back to slight risk and a severe thunderstorm watch was soon issued for most of north AL and northwest GA. And severe storms did happen: the first round of storms formed late this afternoon into early evening. Those were not too widespread, but if you happened to find yourself under one of them you might have seen hail the size of pennies to quarters or even half dollars. That was then followed by a severe squall line that had formed over western Alabama earlier in the day and tracked into the ATL metro in the late evening. Hartsfield recorded a 76 mph wind gust and just about the entire metro saw at least 2 inches of rain and significant lightning.

Had a tornado warning this morning in Atlanta as a supercell with an impressive radar velocity and debris signature tracked through some of the western suburbs. Unfortunately, there have been several damage reports and at least one confirmed fatality through western Fulton and Douglas Counties. If there's any good news, from what I can tell looking at news and social media reports it looks like the worst of the damage was probably to industrial facilities rather than homes.

A tornado watch remains in effect for another hour, but there seems to be at least some possibility of severe thunderstorms lasting into the evening hours.  Then we might be looking at another tornado/severe threat tomorrow.

In my case, I specified "wet/rainy" because the rain amplified the high levels of humidity, to the point where even when it wasn't raining, it felt really wet.

In my case, I specified "wet/rainy" because the rain amplified the high levels of humidity, to the point where even when it wasn't raining, it felt really wet.

I come from a normally low-humidity area, so pardon me if my explanations and reasoning are weird.

Sometimes rain clears out that "wet" feeling, and other times it makes it worse.

I can't remember any other year with such a great Spring here in Wichita.  For a few weeks now, we can just sit out on the front porch without worrying about the heat, the cold, or the mosquitoes.  That never happens around here for more than a couple of days at a time.

Similar here, except probably slightly colder, with temps in the 40's and 50's. I enjoy it, but some people think it's too cold to be outside.

Very wet weekend with about 4 inches of rain in the past 48 hours, which I appreciate for drought relief. I'm sure those on the southwest side of Houston aren't, though, as cities like Sweeny and Bay City have picked up about 15 inches of rain in the last 48 hours!
Just one problem about the rain; the mosquitos are back... with a vengeance. Some of the ones I saw this morning looked to be the size of love bugs. My fellow referee had at least 7 on his back at one time. I'd say Brazoria County is second only to Alaska in mosquito size.

Other than that, it was a nice day. Partly cloudy with a high of around 85, and no 90 degree days are projected in the next 10 day forecast (yippee!)

Since April 24, the high every day has been between 61 and 85 degrees, and the low every night has been between 38 and 62 degrees.  This has been an AMAZING spring so far.

Thunderstorms are coming next week, though, so I need to mow the back yard this evening.  I've been putting it off for a couple of weeks because we have grass seed growing.

We had a few days of very warm weather (mid-80s highs) at the end of last week in Salt Lake, but moisture increased just enough to allow for some thunderstorms to develop over the mountains in the afternoons over the weekend. Saturday's storms did not produce much in the way of rain and didn't really make it far off the mountains, but did produce some rather gusty winds. Yesterday was a bit more exciting, with multiple severe thunderstorm warnings issued for various cells that produced hail up to quarter size in some Wasatch Front locations. Some were even rotating at times - a rather rare sight in northern Utah. The weirdest thing about yesterday's storms is they were all moving to the northwest because of where the low pressure system was positioned - usually, severe storms here tend to move to the northeast or sometimes southeast.

Today we're once again looking at scattered thunderstorms, although not really expecting anything severe. A few days of dry, warmer weather seem likely before another storm system moves in towards the end of the week.

Ok yikes. Yesterday was just the appetizer for the rest of the week. Over a foot of rain was reported today near Beaumont and Lake Charles, and much more rain is expected to fall over the next 3 days. Rainfall in the Houston area may get over 10 inches this week. Not good.

Currently partly sunny and 85 degrees, likely the hottest it will get all week. The next round comes in a couple of hours. (fingers crossed)

Currently bracing for round 3 of this flood event. A ferocious line of storms generated several tornadoes, and torrential rainfall rates, causing I-10 to become flooded near Flatonia. That line will congeal with Gulf moisture and rock the Houston area, which I'm guessing will lead to massive flash flooding where the rain bands stall out.

On the plus side, the high temperature won't reach 85 degrees again till May 27.

EDIT: Now under a Tornado Watch until 2 AM and a Flash Flood Watch until Thursday.

Looking out the front door with the sun trying to come out.  Most of that has fallen during the day today.  Usually in May, any significant accumulation would come at night and it would melt during the day, but with daytime temperature right around 32°F all day it has just kept piling up.  It's a routine mild snowfall in the winter, but impressive for this time of year.

At our house, we've only turned the A/C on for one day so far.  The high temps recently have been in the 60s and 70s, with cloudy skies and periods of rain.  This has been very, very unusual for this area.  I still can't get over how often I can sit comfortably on the front porch and read a book in the afternoon.

My wife just messaged me a "Facebook memory" from one year ago today:  she and the boys walked to the convenience store, and the heat index was 97 degrees.  Today's forecast high is 82, which is the warmest it will have been for more than a week.

Most homes here still lack AC units and aren't built to efficiently keep out heat. Our latitude doesn't help either, as the sun is more intense and sticks around for longer in the evenings. My west-facing room clocked in at 81 degrees at midnight.

Today's temp in Seattle is well below normal. Expected highs maybe 60 if we're lucky, with some rain.

Had an outdoor barbecue planned for today with family, that we planned several weeks ago. June is hit and miss but even we didn't expect such a cool day. Normal high is 70, and not normally too rainy either. Needless to say, it has been moved inside (though cooking will remain outside).

I will take the rain, as it has been relatively dry, but I don't think we're desperate for rain just yet. That may change by September, though.

Well, the rain is finally over, and my locality finally hit 90 degrees on June 6 (after places like NYC, Bismarck, Portland, and DC). For the next week, it'll hover around 90 and be partly cloudy. Mild and normal weather pattern, but nice. Summer has arrived.

Starting to become concern we are heading into a potentially bad drought. Already much of northern Illinois is under a moderate drought and we still have no major rainfall signs in our future. Models have begun to print out near 100 degree highs by next week, which is following a similar trend to 2012 and 2005 for the area.

We also are in the quietest start to severe weather in the last 25 years with only ONE severe warning so far

Torrential rain both last night and this morning, though not as much as areas southwest of here (on the 11:00 news last night, they said Culpeper had gotten over eight inches of rain already and was going to get more). I wish we could somehow transfer some of this rain to areas out West. When it stops, I'll have to redistribute the mulch in the flowerbed out front because stormwater runoff is cutting a channel through it and washing some of it into the grass.

I'm glad we picked up the RX-7 from the mechanic on Wednesday and put it in the garage at home: Both window regulators are busted and the parts are on order, but in the meanwhile, the power windows don't work but the glass doesn't always stay all the way up–it starts to slip downwards–so if the car had been parked outside at the mechanic, the inside would be getting soaked from the small gap at the top.

On the plus side, it's only 69° outside after feeling like 100° on Wednesday (which, no doubt, is part of what led to the storms).

"Heat index" is a stupid concept.  What's it supposed to represent?  That is to say, when does an actual temperature of 95°F also have a heat index of 95°F?  Because, unless I know that, then the heat index is meaningless to me.

"It feels like 103 degrees!"  Oh, really?  How can I possibly know what 103 degrees feels like, if every time I've been in 103°F weather, the heat index was something else?

They're defined as identical at 20% humidity. It varies by temperature and is closer to 40%, although decreasing with higher temperatures.

What I don't like about heat index is that it doesn't take wind speed into account. (The calculations assume 6 MPH wind speed.)

I think with the heat index, it's pretty easy to calculate since you just take into account the air temp, humidity, and dew point. Trying to then factor in wind speed wouldn't be impossible, but I don't know if wind is steady enough for that to be a useful number.

To me, I interpret the heat index (and the wind chill) as a measurement of how dangerous it is to be outside in either heat or cold.

The temperature is a physical measurement of energy, while the heat index takes in the humidity and dew point to provide an approximate measurement of the temperature that you'd be feeling if humidity had no effect on the heat, if that makes any sense.

Anyways, the larger the difference between the heat index (or the wind chill) and the actual temperature, the more I take caution with my outdoor activities.

We had a cold front move through Salt Lake yesterday morning. We spent all of yesterday in the 60s and today in the 70s, and last night's low was 46 - uncharacteristically cold for June.

Unfortunately, this refreshing cool weather is just about over. Tomorrow will be in the lower 90s, and then starting Sunday we're in for several days of absolutely brutal hot weather as a huge high pressure system builds into the 4 Corners region. Highs will be at or over 100 for most of the week with lows in the low 70s. Unsurprisingly, the National Weather Service has already issued an excessive heat watch.

Several long-standing records at SLC are going to be in jeopardy with this heatwave. The current forecast calls for 6 days in a row of 100+ temperatures, which has never occurred in June before (current record is 4). In addition, we are already forecast to tie our all-time June record high of 105; temperatures this high have only been measured on 20 days in the entire period of record (since 1874). There's even an outside shot we might reach or break our all-time record high of 107.

Ongoing heat wave across the southwest US including here in SLC. We hit 101 yesterday and 103 today, both of which were daily records and the earliest ever occurrences of those temperatures. Tomorrow's forecast high is 105, which would tie the all-time June record high set on two days back in 2013. Unsurprisingly, an excessive heat warning is currently in effect.

Salt Lake City reached a high temperature of 107 degrees yesterday. That not only shattered the old record for the day (102, set in 1974), it also broke the record for all of June (105, set on two days in 2013) ... and it ties the all-time high, set in 1960 and again in 2002. Several other stations in the area also set new monthly or all-time record highs.

Today will be a welcome day of "relief", with a forecast high of... 98. Usually I'd be complaining about that, but the last couple days have really put a new perspective on things and I'll take any cooldown I can get. Highs will be in the upper 90s-100 range the next few days, and a heat advisory is in effect through Friday. After that temperatures will drop again into the mid 90s for the weekend with maybe a shot at a thunderstorm or two, although those would be more likely to produce wind and lightning than any sort of measurable rainfall (as if our fire season wasn't bad enough already).

Title: Re: What's your weather currently?
Post by: Scott5114 on June 17, 2021, 05:33:45 PM
I think it's interesting/funny that different NWS offices seem to have different standards for what qualifies as "excessive heat", such that two places can get more or less the same weather but one gets a warning but the other doesn't. I don't remember seeing excessive heat advisories here with a HX of less than 100°.

And yes, the time shown there is Central time, so it would be 89° at 11:40am there and 91° at 1:40pm here. Though I am not really sure if that means the high there is going to be higher than it is here or not. Here, absent a front or anything, the temperature tends to shoot up to near the high for the day in the morning and stay relatively constant (perhaps warming one or two degrees; it's now 4:30pm here and it's only warmed to 93°) between then and sundown. I'm not sure if Riverside follows a similar pattern or not.
Title: Re: What's your weather currently?
Post by: jakeroot on June 17, 2021, 06:04:15 PM
From my experience, the NWS offices do indeed issue warnings relative to the regular weather. Anything over 90 is likely to get an excessive heat watch here in Seattle, and over 95 a warning. But places east of the mountains (Yakima, Tri-Cities) would not get a warning at that temp, otherwise the whole summer would be a permanent heat warning/watch.

And really, that makes sense. I don't need to be warned of normal weather. Highlighting an approaching abnormality is certainly the primary point. That said, it seems odd for Riverside to get an excessive heat warning for mid-90s. The IE gets into the 90s quite frequently in summer (most if not all days). Although in fairness to the NWS office, the average high in June is not 90s.

Out west, peak temperature is normally 2.30pm to 5.30pm. I recall this not being the case out east. I really don't understand why.

When I was in Palm Springs/Palm Desert earlier this week, it was in the 80s for my morning walk around 7.30am, and only peaked near/into 120 quite late in the afternoon.

I don't remember seeing excessive heat advisories here with a HX of less than 100°.

Different offices absolutely should have different standards. If the temperature were to reach 100 degrees in Seattle, people there are going to be far less prepared for heat of that magnitude than people in a place like Las Vegas. It's no different than how it takes less snow to trigger a winter storm warning in the southeast than it does up north.

As far as heat warnings and advisories go: a lot of NWS offices have hard criteria for temperature and/or heat index (for example, in Atlanta a warning requires a temp over 110 or heat index over 105, while an advisory requires a temp over 103 or heat index over 105). But in the past couple years, the Western Region has moved to something called HeatRisk, which is essentially a calculation that takes into account several factors such as:

-How much higher than normal temps are forecast to be
-Time of year (early season heat is worse because people aren't prepared for it)
-How long the heat will last (is it just one hot day, or several days in a row with little overnight relief)
-Whether temperatures will be high enough to cause heat illnesses

The calculation does not directly account for humidity (though that's not much of a loss in the western US, where humidity is usually low enough that a heat index value is not even defined). It spits out a color-coded value that essentially represents how bad the heat should be while also accounting for local normals. And the cool part is that Western Region offices use those for their heat alerts. HeatRisk values in the orange to red range warrant a heat advisory, while red to magenta triggers an excessive heat warning.

In addition: even accounting for local normals, the health risks caused by even ordinary summer heat in most of the desert southwest would probably warrant heat advisories most days of the summer. As a result, no advisories are issued for these lower-elevation zones.

And germane to the previous discussion, no excessive heat warning here either. So a HX of 100° won't do it. I'm a little curious how high it has to get for NWS Norman to issue one (I know they do issue them sometimes!).

According to wunderground.com Fresno hit a new daily record 110F.  Given I'm from Phoenix I normally wouldn't think of something like that as too unusual.  Trouble is my AC has been down the past two weeks and isn't going to be repaired until tomorrow morning.  I got the house down to 84F before I left this morning but I'm expecting 92-95F (we have heavy curtains that seem to keep a lot of heat out) when I get home around 7 PM.  So far my Swamp Cooler has been blunting the bedroom temperatures by probably 5-10F when I run it.

NWS Norman's heat alert criteria actually varies depending on where in their forecast area you are. For counties along and east of US 81, excessive heat warnings are issued if either the heat index is 110 or temperature is 105. Heat advisories are issued for heat index of 105 or temperatures of 103.

The criteria are a bit higher for counties west of US 81. Warnings there require temperatures or heat index values of 115 or greater, while advisories need a temperature or heat index of 110.

106F in the forecast for Fresno today.  My evaporator coil was replaced yesterday so now I'm in a odd state of being so used to the heat that 82F feels cold at night.

Last night a Tornado touched down in DuPage County (IL), specifically Woodridge and Naperville. Lots of property damage, dozens of homes now uninhabitable, several injuries with one critical but no deaths as of yet.

There was either a much smaller tornado or very strong straight line winds in Porter County (IN) with much less severe damage.

We had a derecho go through late last night. Possibly 2 tornadoes from the storm. A dozen homes were leveled on the far southeast side of Naperville. Homes and tree damage was from Naperville to Burr Ridge along the 75th St and 83rd St corridors. Just missed us by 2 miles.

I got about an inch of rain today, but it seems as if the ground just soaked it right up, because of the lack of rain over the past week or two.

We had our coolest day in 9 days today in Salt Lake. The high temperature was a refreshing ... 95.

We'll most likely break 100 again tomorrow. A better cooldown may be coming for Thursday, with a current forecast high of only 89, but that will probably come with a threat of fire-starting dry thunderstorms. After that, long-range forecasts indicate that temperatures will rise again back into the low 100s range as a high pressure system builds into the Pacific Northwest.

This has to be the first EF3+ rated tornado that has directly hit the Chicagoland area in a while right?

Hmm, I guess Coal City is considered part of the Chicagoland area, though just barely.

Let me rephrase it, when was the last time an EF3+ tornado struck the heart of the Chicagoland area? For purposes here, we will consider the "heart" to be the area from I-80 to the south to IL-47 to the west to the Wisconsin border to the north. I would have to think the Plainfield Tornado of 1990 was the last time using this definition, though I could be wrong.

Quite the opposite here - only in the mid-50's this morning and 60 at the moment, which is unseasonably cool and even feels a bit cold in the wake of a wave of high humidity and 80+ temps.

I've been enjoying some temps in the mid 60s to low 80s on my road trip around the Olympic Peninsula, spurred in part to beat the short heat wave.

We have a longer, more brutal heat wave coming in this weekend. Temperatures in Seattle are going to be close to the 100F mark, which could set a new June record. Washington could break a state record (118F, set at the ironically named Ice Harbor Dam in 1961).

Somewhere I have pictures of the damage from the 2015 Fairdale tornado.  That town of 100 or so, except for maybe a dozen buildings, was just wiped out.  I went through there on Route 72 about 2 months after the tornado.

You know something? I was confusing the 2013 Coal City (which was EF2) with the 2015 Braidwood. My bad.  The 2013 Coal City one was the same day as the EF4 that hit Washington IL by Peoria that was on the ground for 46 miles. I just remember the Bears-Ravens game was halted and Soldier Field was evacuated because the system was heading directly for Downtown Chicago.

Forecast high for Saturday in Tacoma is 103, with some inland valley areas (Sumner, Puyallup) forecasted for 106-108. Just nuts.

Oddly, the record high in Puyallup I believe is 108 105, set in July 2009 with most other records, so I'll be interested to see if that gets broken.

edit: forecast for humidity and dew point seems to indicate the possibility for some mugginess too. Yikes.

Hmm, I guess Coal City is considered part of the Chicagoland area, though just barely.

Let me rephrase it, when was the last time an EF3+ tornado struck the heart of the Chicagoland area? For purposes here, we will consider the "heart" to be the area from I-80 to the south to IL-47 to the west to the Wisconsin border to the north. I would have to think the Plainfield Tornado of 1990 was the last time using this definition, though I could be wrong.
Coal City was an EF2. Not 3.
Here is a useful interactive map I have zoomed in on showing tornado tracks of F3 or greater. Tornado tracks from 1950 to 2017.
https://mrcc.illinois.edu/gismaps/cntytorn.htm#

Coal City was EF-3 per NWS Chicago, was the same one that hit Braidwood as well.
https://www.weather.gov/lot/22June2015 (https://www.weather.gov/lot/22June2015)

They also confirmed this on an update at 7:45 this morning that Naper/Woodridge was the strongest tornado since Coal City in 2015 (Chicago metro area) and 2017 in the northern Illinois region (Ottawa/Naplate 2017).
You know something? I was confusing the 2013 Coal City (which was EF2) with the 2015 Braidwood. My bad.  The 2013 Coal City one was the same day as the EF4 that hit Washington IL by Peoria that was on the ground for 46 miles. I just remember the Bears-Ravens game was halted and Soldier Field was evacuated because the system was heading directly for Downtown Chicago.

Yup Coal City had a string of bad luck with tornadoes during the mid-2010s. 2013, 2015, and exactly a year later on 2016 which I chased.

Comfy 75 in my room right now. Darkening shades have helped, and the portables units in my apartment are keeping up well. Glad I was prepared, most of Seattle is not. It's too bad more people don't invest in cheap AC units. They're remarkably effective.

110-115 here in the South Sound today. Planning to check up on my grandparents this afternoon. Apparently there are some power outages up north. All fine around here.

Spray parks and community pools are packed. So cool to see everyone getting out and enjoying the beautiful, if not rather uncomfortable weather.

I have to keep reminding people that we are experiencing weather history. It's never been this hot here before. That alone is pretty...cool.

Is it very humid up there right now in Seattle? I've seen that can make all the difference when it comes to comfort in the heat down here in Houston. I was moving a dirt pile at my church Saturday morning and the humidity (especially when not in the breeze) made it very uncomfortable, even at 9:00 AM. I ended up going through 4 bottles of water and 2 Gatorades in 3 and a half hours before calling it quits at 11:30 due to running out of water (and I still got a heat-related headache that lasted all day, even after I went inside). And the high that day was only 92 or so.

This week will be different though. There is at least a 45% chance of rain every day this week, and the high today is only supposed to get up to 81.

The dew point is sitting around 65-75, which is very high for our area. Humidity is around 25-55%, also relatively high for otherwise cloudless skies. So it feels fairly humid.

I've spent a fair amount of time in Virginia. The humidity sucks, yes. But honestly, 105-110 feels hotter. I know we joke that "it's a dry heat", which is true. But it's still hot.

It is a roaster kind of week. Sitting at 98 at 6:15 PM MDT under blistering sunny skies. My area of Missoula is under a Heat Advisory while extreme NW Montana is under Excessive Heat Warnings. Heat index is probably 105 or so, but my area will reach about 115 or so this week as far as the heat index goes. Not too big a fan of stupid hot in Western Montana. Of course, your kind of hot will vary depending on both air temp and head index combined. Me? Anything really over 85 is just flat yuck! Mmm mmm! Nooooo maaas! I hope that's the only time Western Montana will have to deal with this roaster oven type of weather this week.

Seattle's weather station at Sea-Tac International Airport reached an all-time record high of 108F, besting Sunday's record of 104F. That is higher than any temperatures recorded in NYC, the other Washington, Philadelphia, Atlanta, and Chicago.

Washington itself may have matched its all-time record, as two stations (Quillayute Road in the Olympic NP and Dallesport on the Columbia River) recorded 118F.

Portland's new record is 115F, which exceeds Dallas, Kansas City, and LA.

A few roads have buckled from the stress of the heat wave, including sections of I-5 in Seattle that had to be shut down for hours of road repair. Link light rail in Seattle was forced to slow down to avoid warped tracks, while MAX in Portland was shut down entirely. Also, Oregon is allowing everyone to pump their own gas everywhere (https://www.oregonlive.com/commuting/2021/06/trimet-suspends-max-wes-lines-until-tuesday-citing-heat-related-mechanical-issues.html) for 48 hours.

He's referring to the old adage here in the PNW that summer begins on the 5th of July. But given that we've already had many days in the 80s, 90s, and 100s, that clearly wasn't true this year.

I would have thought you guys would quit complaining about 80s after seeing what an actual, brutal 100+ heat wave looks like. I would absolutely love to have a high in the 80s - turns out in SLC, 29 of the last 34 days have featured a high of 90 or higher. And overnight lows have been in the 70s for many of those days, which means it's too warm to open windows at night.

Unfortunately it does not look like we are cooling down anytime soon in SLC. The high today is 99, and then the weather service has issued a heat advisory for Weds-Thurs with highs of 104 both days. Then we "cool"  back into the mid 90s before going back above 100 next weekend. And the current forecast does not include a single low below 71 for the next week.

The last ten days have been unseasonably cool here because of all the rain we've been having. It's only hit 90 degrees once since June, and today might not even get out of the 80s. Current temperature is 75 and the projected high is 82. It's been raining all morning, and I saw some flooded yards driving around town.

The rest of this week is more of the same. Next week it'll come back down to earth and we'll be in the 90s again.

There's others like me around, mostly those who grew up and remember the milder summers of years long past, when wildfires weren't an annual event and ACs truly were rare in homes.

I know how you feel. I have a west-facing 9th floor apartment unit. It can get brutally hot in here. The AC works overtime. We may buy a third portable unit for the second bedroom.

It's funny, there may actually be just enough of a geographical difference between you and I to make 80s/90s acceptable for one and uncomfortable for the other. I spent a lot of my summers growing up at my friend's pool just around the corner (one of the few homes in the neighborhood with a permanent pool), because 80s and 90s were really common in Puyallup. That may be explained by the distance from the Puget Sound and more southerly latitude. But since 80s and 90s were so much of my summer, I just don't find them miserable in the same way that others may.

I just wish there were a stronger embrace of AC around here. We worry a lot about our natural environment during the summer, and it's time to start worrying more about ourselves. Heat is a huge killer, and we have a lot of older people in this area living in homes without AC. That has to change.

A layer of relatively thick smoke has moved into the Salt Lake area over the past couple days. Most of it is originating from the Beckwourth Complex fires in California, though the Bootleg Fire in Oregon and some smaller fires in Idaho may also be contributing.

It was enough to hold yesterday's high temp down to a slightly more reasonable 97. Unfortunately, it didn't do much in that regard today - our afternoon high was 104. Tomorrow will likely be similar. After that, a push of monsoon moisture will enter Utah from the south, but as of now it looks like it won't be enough to bring any real threat of decent rainfall to northern Utah. If we get anything it will probably be of the dry microburst variety. Southern Utah, on the other hand, may be looking at a couple days of flash flooding threats.

In the past 4 weeks, we've only had 2 or 3 days below 70, and many of those days above 75 or 80. No rain at all.

Last night I had a dream about rain. I miss it.
Can we trade? It's rained like every day for the past week here.

No. Low 70s and rain is better than 90s.

I just wish there were a stronger embrace of AC around here. We worry a lot about our natural environment during the summer, and it's time to start worrying more about ourselves. Heat is a huge killer, and we have a lot of older people in this area living in homes without AC. That has to change.

Have the heat-related deaths been occurring inside people's homes?

Yes. That's where most of the bodies have been found. They are still finding people who don't have frequent welfare checks.

Also homeless people. Point is: people with nowhere to cool off are going to struggle with heat.

I've read that greater heat than one is used to can exacerbate existing underlying conditions to such a point.  It just surprises me that it frequently occurs within the home, rather than out and about in the weather.

It's hotter outside, but it's also hot indoors as well. If you have no AC, and your home was not designed in any way to dissipate heat, it's going to become miserably hot and very nearly, if not absolutely, unlivable indoors. Most people can find ways to rectify the issue (only 500 to 1000 are thought to have perished thus far), but there are others that may not be able to (mobility, most likely, plus underlying conditions). Western WA/OR is also, logically, a frequent move-spot for those who have trouble regulating their body heat, such as those with anhidrosis or chronic dehydration, since it doesn't normally get outrageously hot here; they should be prepared (my father has anhidrosis so we have always had AC growing up), but that's no guarantee, sadly.

Another hot day in Salt Lake today, with a high of 96 (which, believe it or not, is the second-lowest high we've had this month). A few thunderstorms moved through some southern areas of the Wasatch Front today, but southern and eastern Utah got the good stuff today with numerous severe thunderstorm and flash flood warnings being issued throughout the region. The biggest thunderstorms formed in and west of Cedar City late this afternoon, dropping quarter size hail and also featuring some rather strong velocity rotation signatures on radar. They then organized into a squall line that hit St. George with severe winds. Flooding was reported in both cities as well as along some other, more rural highways.

And as if all that wasn't enough, a tornado touched down in Huntington, Emery County today. It was a weak landspout that did little to no damage, but it appears to have been the state's first tornado since May 2018.

My previous house didn't have working central air conditioning, so we had a room air conditioner, which was put in an unused room (most of the outdoor windows didn't open, but that one did), not any of the rooms we used. The days in the 90s were mildly uncomfortable but not enough that you would get sick or die. Once it becomes nighttime, you could go outside and it would be fine. In addition, indoors, the first day was fine; it would only become an issue with two or more days in a row.

It was hotter than the 90s by quite a significant amount during our last heat wave, so indoors would have been much hotter than what we are normally used to (Seattle summers usually peak in the upper 90s at most), or for that matter, what most of the country east of the Mississippi would normally be used to.

I'd like to stress that, for the most part, being hot inside is not going to kill regular, active, healthy people. We're talking largely about those with underlying conditions, those of advanced years, maybe those with mobility issues, those who were not properly hydrated, etc. These things are only accelerated by even hotter temperatures, and living situations insufficient for such temperatures. That you even have central air (working or otherwise) already puts you ahead of most PNW homes.

That you even have central air (working or otherwise) already puts you ahead of most PNW homes.

In addition, a huge factor in the deadliness of heat waves is not the daytime high, but the overnight low. Going outside and opening windows at night works well if the air out there is colder than desired room temperature. Taking a quick look at summer temperatures in Lowell (where 1's profile indicates he lives) for the past few years, for the most part even on days with daytime highs well into the 90s, it has cooled off into the mid-60s if not lower - a pattern also typical of much of the PNW, which is why air conditioning is relatively rare in that part of the country. If overnight lows stay in the 70s (i.e. never falling below room temperature) as they did in several areas during the PNW heat wave, no matter what you do your house won't cool all that much at night.

I wish. I use a WeatherStar 4000 simulator (http://www.taiganet.com/) to recreate the look using modern data (thus the lack of the TWC logo in the corner). It's also nice for the purposes of this thread because it neatly collects all of the relevant information in an easy-to-read format. And, I dunno, it just feels more real to me to see it on a WS4000 graphic instead of just saying "it's 93° today."

Speaking of...

Temperatures have been creeping up, but the humidity is staying parked right where it has been, so things are feeling pretty gross around here. We did get an excessive heat advisory yesterday, I think (but I had a friend over for the weekend so I wasn't posting on the forum). Some parts of the state are advancing toward the 100° mark, which the OKC area has yet to reach this year:

Today it hit 95 in my Houston suburb, the hottest it's been all year.

We've had quite the active last week here in Salt Lake. Last Thursday, after a week of watching southern Utah get a bunch of storms, northern Utah finally got in on the action as two severe thunderstorms hit downtown Salt Lake. Scattered reports of wind damage occurred, and at least one site in Davis County recorded a 76 mph wind gust. Some of the Utah County burn scar areas experienced debris flows and flash flooding as well.

After that, we dried out a little bit, and we did have a couple days of rather thick smoke from the fires in California. But yesterday the moisture returned, and with very light winds in the upper levels storms basically stayed over the exact same place. The result was several flash flood warnings in places we don't often see them - Cache County had its first warning since 1991 yesterday. More storms with the threat of heavy flooding rains look likely for probably the next week.

Pretty warm this morning in Tacoma. Woke up around 8:00 with it in the upper 60s to low 70s, which is pretty warm even for really hot days. The weirder part is that it's very cloudy. But it's a very high cloud, more akin to something you'd see on a stormy day. I checked the forecast, and sure enough it does seem that thunderstorms are at least a possibility for the next 4 to 5 days. Today it should be into the low 90s, and then backing off into the 80s for the foreseeable future.

To other Washingtonians: did you have any rain this morning? It feels muggy, and the radar did show some rain off in the distance, but everything is dry.

We had intense monsoon storms yesterday in Salt Lake, with some of the heaviest rain I've ever seen in Utah. The day started out very muggy thanks to some light rain the previous night, but we had full sun for most of the day to build up instability. Storms developed by mid-afternoon in the west desert, then organized into a broken line that moved into the Wasatch Front in the evening.A few severe thunderstorm warnings were issued for 60 mph winds, but the big story was the flooding caused by extremely heavy rainfall. Although the airport got only 0.18 inches of rain, most of the eastern side of the valley got probably 5 to 10 times that amount. Widespread flooding of streets and basements was observed across the metro area, and a whole lot of underpasses flooded that are not usually prone to this type of thing. Various portions of I-15, I-80, I-215, and local arterials had to close. Mudslides closed SR 190 in Big Cottonwood Canyon for a time last night. Even this morning, US 89 and US 6 are still closed in the Spanish Fork and Price Canyon regions due to slides off burn scar areas.

As bad as we had it in northern Utah last night, it sounds like the floods were even worse in the Enoch and Cedar City areas. This area has been absolutely dumped on multiple times over the past month, so their soils are completely saturated and couldn't absorb another 2 inches of rain yesterday - prompting the NWS to issue an extremely rare Flash Flood Emergency. According to the evening news last night, 200 homes flooded in Enoch - accounting for 10% of the city's population. Some of the videos coming out of that area yesterday were insane.

We're getting some light rain in SLC this morning, but nothing like yesterday. This will probably last for most of the day, though areas that get some sun today may see some stronger showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. After that, the active monsoon period looks to come to an end ... unfortunately, this will mean highs in the upper 90s by the end of the week.

Been hazy for the better part of three weeks now. I honestly don't mind the haze itself, though the reason that it exists is sad. Yesterday afternoon was clear blue skies, but right back to the haze today.

There is still leftover mud and random debris on several streets from the floods on Sunday. That is unheard of in Salt Lake.

Drier air is now moving in, effectively shutting off storm chances for the next week. This has brought with it some wildfire smoke, along with much warmer temperatures expected tomorrow and Thursday when we might get close to 100 again. After that, it looks like we'll get a cold front near the end of this week which will be completely dry but should knock our temps back down into the 80s.

The monsoonal moisture rocking other bits of the west has led to some thunderstorms in the Seattle area. Big storm clouds off over the Cascades with plenty of lightning.

Overall, pretty muggy and hazy. Mid-80s. Not insanely uncomfortable (no direct sunlight), but not great either. It was looking like it might rain later this week but those chances seem to have diminished.

We've had a very unusual summer, but in the other direction. Today is the first day that hit 90° in over three weeks (maybe – it might have topped out at 89), and the historical average is 84° on July 24, the hottest day of the year. Much of this is due to rain.

Fresno had an AQI of about 200 when I went to run this morning.  The Dixie Fire started blowing south last night and really filled the air up with smoke.  The AQI is clearing but it is still 124.

The same is true here. While we've had 100° temps elsewhere in the state, the OKC metro has yet to break 100 (which normally starts to happen in early July).

We finally broke our second-longest dry streak of 51 days, thanks to a little rainfall at Sea-Tac.

Excessive heat should really trigger some actual protections (or hazard pay). It's ridiculous to see people in non-adjusted climates having to work outdoors in the middle of the day when it's over 100.

It sort of does–OSHA states that employers have "a duty to protect workers from recognized serious hazards in the workplace, including heat-related hazards", but it's kind of mushy as to at what point the heat becomes a "serious hazard" and what mitigating steps need to be taken. Obviously, it's going to differ depending on the type of job–a bank teller will have a lower tolerance for what amount of heat is reasonable to be exposed to on the job than a landscaper will.

I work in cannabis, so we're expected to work in temperatures in the low 80s with very high humidity. That's the optimum growing conditions for the plant, so it would be unreasonable to demand something cooler. Before that, I worked in a casino, and they would occasionally have A/C units in part of the facility go out during the summer months, when it was in the 90s—100s outside. In the most recent instance of this I can remember, they simply pulled all of the employees out of the affected area but left it open to customers. The expectation was if they didn't like the heat, they could just avoid that part of the building, but they weren't going to force an employee to endure it for hours at a time.

What was enacted when the last heat wave hit Washington consisted of the following:

-  Earlier shifts in freight positions (overnight if possible).
-  Adherence to military black flag (for civilian personnel) rules on heat exhaustion.  From what I recall hardly any of our workplaces even hit 90F indoors.  None of our work staff is regularly outdoors aside from maybe a couple minutes a day.
-  Mandatory water breaks once an hour and additionally as requested. 
-  Access to fans and cooling areas. 
-  Employees with lingering medical conditions were allowed to take vacation and in some cases Admin pay (how that was determined at the HR level I'm not sure).

To my knowledge hazard pay was never considered at any point along the line.  The above protocols were considered satisfactory in the OSHA response letters.  Aside from warehouse workers none of our positions would likely be considered very physically taxing.

What do people think happens in countries with little to no A/C but whose temps regularly top 90 or even 100?  Do they think all those folks just don't go to work?

It depends on the country, but it is pretty generally recognized that if the ambient temperature is high and there is no A/C, white-collar employee productivity will go down.  Thus, A/C is often provided in offices in countries where it is typically either absent in the home or confined to room units in bedrooms that are designed to allow people to get to sleep.

In the summer of 2010, I travelled in southern Europe, visiting Portugal, Spain, and Greece.  All three countries had bedroom A/C.  I was in Seville when temperatures hit 40° C, triggering heat advisories that were well-publicized on TV and in the newspapers.  I also visited a number of government offices in Spain in search of proyectos de construcción, and most of them had A/C, though there were some exceptions--e.g., the Junta de Andalucía put the anteproyecto for Lines 2, 3, and 4 of the Seville metro on public exhibition, which in practice meant going to an office in a historic building (complete with traditional Andalusian patio, but no A/C) in the city center to examine PDF files on a public-access computer.

The tempo of activity was generally higher in the morning when it was cooler.  Older buildings also tended to have thicker walls, which moderated indoor temperatures as it got hot outside.  On building exteriors in Andalusia, white paint with canary-yellow trim was about as common as white cars in Japan, and windows had true shutters (not false shutters secured permanently to the exterior trim as an architectural accent) that were closed in the afternoon to keep the sun out.  Public squares had mesh netting secured to poles and suspended overhead:  the weave was open enough to allow you to see the sky, but dense enough to cast a shadow on paving and prevent the sun heating it up.  It helped greatly that the heat was dry (southern Spain is in Köppen climate zone Csa, which is much less humid than Cfa, which covers nearly all of the Deep South in the US).

1. Mexico isn't as developed as the US is. I would tell you to look at Phoenix, AZ's laws (or any of its suburbs) if not for points #2 and #3.
2. It's a dry heat in that area.

Note that if it's within walking distance of the ocean, which this place isn't, you can cool down by going over water (whether on a boat or a bridge), or to a lesser extent, on the beach.

I don't feel any impulse to laugh.  Heat is no joke, especially with wet-bulb temperatures reaching levels incompatible with human survival across more and more of the Earth's surface.  I think it is necessary to look at the tradeoffs across multiple dimensions--in terms of employee health, labor standards, productivity, architectural accommodation, etc.--before concluding that requests for heat-related measures amount to goldbricking.

I'm not sure what that has to do with anything.  Office workers still sit at their desks, gas workers still refill propane tanks, cooks still make meals, hardware store clerks still sell cement and nails and spades, station agents still sell bus tickets...  What does it matter how developed the nation is?  Work is work.

The area I specifically travel to, yes.  But somewhere like Tabasco? no.  Or go just a couple of hours to the east to the city of Monterrey (which is quite developed, by the way), and today's forecast calls for higher humidity than here in Wichita.  Not all of Mexico is a desert.  In fact, the highest humidity I regularly encounter is where we cross the border.

I still don't understand this one.  I'm imagining, for example, Saint Louis in the 1950s.  During the summer, when temps climbed high and the air was humid and still, did people get extra pay or special shifts?  I don't think they did.  Fast-forward to the 2020s, and why should they?

(For what it's worth, where we travel in Mexico also drops below freezing in the winter, and indoor temperatures can easily drop below 50 degrees overnight.  No hazard pay or special shifts required then either, although schools do sometimes cancel classes so students don't have to walk to and from home in the cold.)

Maybe it's that this is the first air-conditioned job I've ever had.  My first job was pushing shopping carts full-time in a parking lot near Chicago, rain or shine.  My next job was in an unconditioned warehouse, at which I worked for about five years.  Then I moved and had a temp job at a Circuit City distribution center in southern Illinois that had me and others loading 48-foot trailers box by box, nose to tail, floor to ceiling, in 90+ heat with high humidity;  sure, I had to drink plenty of water, and I was tired and sweat-soaked by the end of my shift, but the thought never once crossed my mind that I needed special treatment because of the heat.  My next job involved driving a delivery route in a truck with no A/C.  (One of my regular customers on that route was Crownline Boats, where employees painted boats indoors without A/C, 12 or more hours per day, and indoor temps in the summer were around 150.)  If I got back to base early enough, I then had to load trucks for the next day's routes too.

I highly doubt that any of my employers considered it necessary to somehow give me extra compensation for being hot at work.  And none of my co-workers ever mentioned that it might be necessary either.  Weather gets hot in the summer.  That's life.

Regarding Phoenix when I was a security manager for Sears our distribution center was air conditioned.  The Warehouse Workers were often in a warehouse that was regularly at 100F for much of the year.  The break room had an AC unit but otherwise we had everyone follow the same procedures I described above.  We never had an incident of an employee in heat stress in over five years I dealt with that place. 

To that end there was some degree of acclimation at play.  All the same, heat can affect anyone negatively despite acclimation.  The big thing is staying hydrated enough to stave off dehydration. Also, there was a huge amount of yard maintenance workers in the Phoenix Area that worked outside all year.

Couple reasons: (1) air conditioning is much more affordable now than it was then, so not having any AC becomes a bit inexcusable; (2) heat-related deaths were much higher before the widespread use of air conditioning because there is a near 1-to-1 relationship between heat and heat-related death.

For context, I work in the cable business.  Our field techs work outdoors all day, every day.  Whether it's 105 or -10 degrees outside, whether it's sunny or windy or snowing or icy or pouring down rain, they're out there replacing and installing drops, filters, and splitters;  drilling outlets and wrapping exterior lines, squeezing into crawlspaces, and carrying 28-foot fiberglass ladders.  And the only weather-related breaks they get (to my knowledge) are these:

1.  If there are active storms, and their work requires climbing a ladder up to the mainline, then they can reschedule the appointment due to the potential for a lightning strike.  Similarly, if the ground below the pole is such hardened ice that the ladder feet can't get any traction, then they can reschedule the appointment–but they have to at least try first.

2.  If the roads are so snowy/icy that it's actually impossible to get to customers' houses, then we can reschedule appointments.  In 13 years, I can count the number of days this has happened on one hand (between Oklahoma, Kansas, NW Arkansas, Kansas City, and Lincoln, plus a brief stint in Dallas).

3.  Attic work is restricted to morning hours only during summer months.

I'm trying to imagine anybody in the industry–anyone with actual field experience, that is–suggesting that techs should get extra pay or reduced hours on hot days, and all I can envision is them getting laughed out of the room.

Secondarily at the time my AC at home was ironically down for three weeks when the coil needed to be replaced.  Everyone of those days had a high over 100F in Fresno and one of them even hit 110F.  It was a little annoying having to deal with complaints at that time given I was going through the exact same thing but for about six times the length.

What I have found being from the Midwest originally and living in the Sun Belt most of my adult life is that you just tend to get used to the heat.  It's expensive to air condition your house to a cozy 70F when 80-82F is much more budget friendly.  It never bothered me a ton outside of maybe the first six months in Phoenix to be out in 100F plus weather for extended period of times.  Almost everyone acclimates eventually given enough exposure.  Granted, I get it the example I gave above in Washington was a sudden and unexpected heat wave.  It was nonetheless eye roll inducing to hear how many people really thought AC was an OSHA mandated item at certain outdoor temperatures. 

Secondarily at the time my AC at home was ironically down for three weeks when the coil needed to be replaced.  Everyone of those days had a high over 100F in Fresno and one of them even hit 110F.  It was a little annoying having to deal with complaints at that time given I was going through the exact same thing but for about six times the length. 

In point of fact, my wife does have to close her home daycare if the indoor temperature drops below a certain temperature, by state regulation.  During the Coldpocalypse™ this past winter, I think our house got to within a couple of degrees of that threshold because the power company told everyone to lower their thermostats.  I don't know if such an upper threshold exists, but it wouldn't surprise me one bit.

Out of curiosity what is that threshold for low temperature on the State level?

I couldn't remember offhand, so I went online and looked it up.  Here you go:

Quote from: Kansas Department of Health and Environment
Kansas Laws and Regulations for Licensing Day Care Homes and Group Day Care Homes for Children
  VI. Regulations for Licensing Day Care Homes and Group Day Care Homes for Children
    K.A.R. 28-4-115. Facility.
      (c) General environmental requirements.

Each facility shall have 25 square feet of available play space per child and shall be constructed, arranged, and maintained to provide for the health and safety of children in care. Each applicant, each applicant with a temporary permit, and each licensee shall ensure that the facility meets the following requirements:

(14) is maintained at a temperature of not less than 65 degrees Fahrenheit and not more than 85 degrees Fahrenheit in the play area;

I suppose that makes sense considering kids have a harder regulating their body temperatures compared to adults.  65F kind of seems a little on the high side for a "low"  threshold from a glance.

Multiple tornado warnings in the Chicago metro.

I remember being in Chicago on vacation (after having moved away as a child), and there were three active tornado warnings for the city.  All hotel guests had to go down to the bottom floor until the warnings were cleared.  It was an Embassy Suites or something like that, with multiple floors and a lot of guests.

People forget, I think, that that part of the country does get tornadoes.

And I was thinking that 85 seems kind of low for the "high" threshold, considering how hard it is for an A/C unit to keep up with summer heat.

True, but I can envision 90F would be enough to cause the parental complaints needed to drop that to 85F.

Yes, but they're much more common in May-June and much more rare in August.

These are doing some damage though.

When I was last living in the area, I most recently lived in a six-flat (three floors, two apartments on each floor).  Mine was on the top floor.  No basement.  During tornado warnings, I used to just head down to where the laundry machines were on the ground floor.

If people hear one or two others say that something is an OSHA reg, then they just believe it without checking.  Heck, as far as OSHA is concerned, your company can work you 24/7.

Usually work place conjecture is the origin point of most that's OSHA complaints I've dealt with.  It's not hard to look OSHA regulations up but most people are either too lazy to do so or interpret them in a way that fits their narrative.

Interestingly I had an OSHA complaint from an auto port that was fully valid and surprisingly well detailed.  The air from the compressor unit was fed by PVC pipe instead of the proper PE piping.  When I was taking pictures after the compliant the guy who filed it told me he was the one who did it.  I guess it never occurred to him that he could call my office and I would have come to inspect (and shut them down all the same).

Traveling regularly to the Chihuahuan Desert, in a country where A/C is exceedingly rare, I think it's laughable for people to suggest employees should get hazard pay, special shifts, mandatory breaks, etc.–just because the temperatures are elevated.

Well, the United States is a rich enough country that we kind of have a higher expectation for accommodations against the elements here. If I go to a business here in the summer and they have no AC, I'm just not going to spend money there because I can go somewhere else that provides a more pleasant environment. Once you're air-conditioning the customers, you may as well air-condition the employees too. And of course, if you offer AC as part of your workplace environment, you have a greater number of applicants to the job because not everyone is even physically able to work in a high-heat environment. (This means you can pay the employees less because there's more competition to fill each job opening.)

And also, I mean, are you going to turn down hazard pay and extra breaks if they're offered? Cause I won't. I don't go to a job to build character and prove a point about how I'm a bad enough dude to live in Oklahoma in the summer, I do it to make money.

For context, I work in the cable business.  Our field techs work outdoors all day, every day.  [...] I'm trying to imagine anybody in the industry–anyone with actual field experience, that is–suggesting that techs should get extra pay or reduced hours on hot days, and all I can envision is them getting laughed out of the room.

That has less to do with the supposed unreasonableness of the proposal, and more to do with the fact that all of that is already priced into the wages of being a cable tech–trade workers like cable installers, electricians, and plumbers make a lot of money for the work that they do,  because they have to work in crappy conditions like that to do their job. Nobody would subject themselves to that for minimum wage.

There's also the matter of acclimation. Having a higher indoor temperature would probably be fine in places where outdoor temperatures are consistently in the 90s and 100s, but here we're used to summers that should barely crack 80.

Another heat wave is headed this way for the rest of the week, with temps as high as 110 expected in southwestern Oregon.

Average-wise, but Seattle hits 80s at least 20-30 days per year. More often in the South Sound.

Still, I totally agree. Even if the human body is capable of dealing with 110 F on a regular basis, it's going to be a lot harder when you're not used to it.

Nobody would subject themselves to that for minimum wage.

Back before everything went digital, cable techs made a lot of money, but those days ended, what, a decade ago?  Gone are the days of just hooking up lines outside, slapping a modem on the desk, calling it an installation, and billing for every outlet.  No, these days, your modem might have 32 downstream channels and 8 upstream channels, and every one of them needs to have passing levels.  These days, your cable boxes all talk to each other through DSG tunneling–that is, the cabling has to be good enough for the same quality of data to pass both directions between all points.  These days, instead of a powered NIU pushing a halfway decent phone signal across corroded phone wires, those wires now need to carry a digital signal to your eMTA in order for phone to work.  These days, techs operate under all sorts of various metrics, reporting, field QCs, and other expectations–and each vendor company has to meet certain benchmarks for them all, and the vendor companies are in competition with each other.  And all of this increase in work per job has occurred over the same period of time that MSOs started paying vendors less money for the work they do to begin with.

Trust me, there is nowhere near the money to be made as a cable tech that there used to be.  No, it isn't minimum wage, but our average field tech isn't making any more money than I am here in the office.  They get around $2.10 per point, an average tech's route usually runs around 80 points, and they generally work about 12 hours a day.  A good, veteran tech can do more in a day, but that's about average.  That comes to $14/hour–and they purchase all their own startup gear, most of them use their own work truck, failed QCs and lost equipment come out of their own paycheck, and as 1099 workers they handle their own taxes and insurance.  I think you might have been under the false assumption that my company pays its techs an hourly wage (such as the MSOs themselves do in paying their in-house field techs).

Not an OSHA requirement, but cities and/or states can require it.  It's particularly a headache in my former industry (restaurants).  To be fully compliant, we have to give our servers a break that might fall right in the middle of a busy dinner shift, so they'd have to transfer all of their tables to someone else to go take a mandatory break.  Needless to say, no one wanted to take a break, so I always got yelled at by HR for not having my staff follow the rules.  We came up with some waiver that everyone signed that said they acknowledged that if they wanted a break, they could have one, but they could also forego it if they so chose.

None of that changes the fact that the conditions a cable installer must endure is known to someone before becoming one. My dad really wants me to get a job in the trades. I've been blowing the suggestion off simply because you can't pay me enough to crawl around in an attic all day. I certainly wouldn't do it for $14/hour ($100/hour and maybe we can talk about it).

It is piecework.  Different MSOs do it differently, though.  In our Cox markets, each task of each job is assigned a certain number of points, then they're added up for the job total.  In our Charter markets, each type of job pays a different number of points (installation of one service, installation of three services, upgrade, service call, etc).  Techs get a certain dollar amount per point.

Sort of.  It's because most people didn't even eat lunch, so why take a lunch break, especially if that meant getting home later after your shift?  Plus, the same number of calls came in regardless, so the people left just ended up twice as stressed during that period.

Going by my Weather Channel app, every single day from now until the 26th (which is the limit on the forecast) has on the forecast either thunderstorms or scattered thunderstorms. It's rare I have seen that be the case for so many consecutive days. Furthermore, this has pretty much been the reality for the past few days already, every day at some point there has been an unpredictable, albeit brief, thunderstorm. This has manifested a few times conveniently as I was walking across campus at college.  :paranoid:

Speaking of lunches, I've been paid on salary for the last 16 years.  Something my company was doing for awhile was mandating an hour lunch for salaried managers and only 30 minutes for paid employees.  Essentially most managers just eat in 15-20 minutes at their desk or they do so at their desk while working.  For the most part it amounted to a 45-60 minutes of free labor.  I only schedule myself 8.5 hours and get shit for it all the time.  Really I ought to just be working  until my job is sufficiently done or simply just scheduling 8 hour days.

What they would laugh at is the notion that they should receive higher pay half the year, that they're entitled to it, that it would be justified.  I'm sure they'd take it after all that, humans being selfish creatures and all, but I can't imagine any higher-ups even offering it to begin with, because they all started in the field too.

Quote from: kphoger on August 12, 2021, 04:37:33 PMWhat they would laugh at is the notion that they should receive higher pay half the year, that they're entitled to it, that it would be justified.  I'm sure they'd take it after all that, humans being selfish creatures and all, but I can't imagine any higher-ups even offering it to begin with, because they all started in the field too.

Thanks for the explanation.  Given that additional pay for unforgiving weather conditions is not actually on offer, would I be correct in understanding that this concern about entitlement to and justification for higher wages is primarily in reference to workers in other occupations?

Excessive heat should really trigger some actual protections (or hazard pay). It's ridiculous to see people in non-adjusted climates having to work outdoors in the middle of the day when it's over 100.

Sort of.  It's because most people didn't even eat lunch, so why take a lunch break, especially if that meant getting home later after your shift?  Plus, the same number of calls came in regardless, so the people left just ended up twice as stressed during that period.

Taking a break midway through the shift is not only to provide employees a time to eat. It is also to provide an opportunity to relieve fatigue, both physical and mental. Fatigued employees do worse work than non-fatigued employees, and a mental "reset" caused by taking a break can improve the overall quality of work. Some people are prone to thinking that taking a break is a sign of weakness–why someone would need to flex on their coworkers by overworking themselves I don't understand–but these people are as prone to fatigue as anyone else, whether they'll admit it to anyone or not.

One thing the casino I worked at did get right was providing a 30-minute lunch and two 15-minute breaks per day, all paid. Given that my partners at the grow operation I'm starting came from the same environment, I expect we're going to operate the same way. I intend to ensure the employees under my care actually take these breaks, given my experiences with the work output of employees that refused breaks.

I can't be the only one who actually feels less productive and more tried after stopping what they are doing to "take a break?"   A lot of my surveillance operators actually will wait until the last possible minute (two hours before their shift ends) to take a lunch because feel mentally fatigued after stopping.

Watching the wildfire smoke slowly roll in last night while looking for meteors was disheartening. Now it's smoky and hot.

Two mountains? No, wait, just the Schneider Springs Fire. This, of course, was taken yesterday before the clouds rolled in thick.

It was hot as hell there.  The top of mount aix has a quarter mile of scrambling and if you looked at any vegetation wrong there it would combust.


Also, I notice there's still glacier silt in Tacoma.

Going by my Weather Channel app, every single day from now until the 26th (which is the limit on the forecast) has on the forecast either thunderstorms or scattered thunderstorms. It's rare I have seen that be the case for so many consecutive days. Furthermore, this has pretty much been the reality for the past few days already, every day at some point there has been an unpredictable, albeit brief, thunderstorm. This has manifested a few times conveniently as I was walking across campus at college.  :paranoid:
Pretty common to see this in Houston's forecast at least once per year early in the summer when the weather pattern is stagnant, as gulf moisture really lends to unpredictable brief thunderstorms.

That's actually the type of weather Houston's been experiencing the past few weeks. The usual cycle is hot and muggy till about 11am, a brief shower for 10-15 minutes, maybe repeat around 3-4pm, and then hot and muggy thru the evening. I can't say I hate the rain, though, as it keeps the temperature down. Current forecast is 90 degrees and scattered t'storms for the next 5 days.

I've noticed that for Houston 2021 has been a little cooler than the past several years have been. Even putting the Coldpocalypse aside, I've noticed that we've had a lot more summer 80-85 degree days than what I believe is usual for down here.

Yea I was backpacking in the Olympics Sol Duc area, and it dropped to 39 with rain and wind above the Hoh rainforest.  (I was above 5000').  Good thing I brought my thermals, rain shell, fleece and hand warmers!  My 40 degree summer sleeping bag was rough. 

Now that I'm back in Seattle I'm appreciating my memory foam bed, beer and heat. 

Wild that the wettest part of the US (Hoh Rainforest; >150"  annual rainfall) is about 40 miles away from the lower Dungeness Valley - one of the driest parts of Washington (Sequim; <60" ).

How do u/they determine the humidex. Typical summertime wx here. Hi mid 90° low 70°, heat index up to 107°, "scattetered thunderstorms some may be severe".

Here's the Wikipedia article on it (the formula is a bit complex to type out myself) :D. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humidex (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humidex). It says humidex is based on dew point instead of relative humidity.

It says humidex is based on dew point instead of relative humidity.

If you know any two of temperature, relative humidity, and dew point, you can calculate the third. This means it's only a calculation difference, and one can be converted to the other given both the temperature and heat index/humidex.

By the way, it seems to me that you can subtract 10°F if you're in the shade. Officially (for the US), you're supposed to add 15° in the sun, but 90° with 40% humidity (as low as it gets here) in the shade doesn't feel unbearably hot.

When I moved into college, it was during a period of wet, dreary weather.  I think I slipped into depression shortly thereafter, and I'm sure the weather didn't help.  At least, whenever I describe that period of my life, I always make sure to mention the wet weather, so it must have been significant to me.  On the other hand, it was during that low point that I underwent a spiritual conversion (I had grown up in church but only believed it on an intellectual level before that point).

It does not bother me in the slightest, but mid-60s as a high would actually be quite cool (with it being normal closer to late September or early October if I had to guess). It is August after all. Should be at least mid-70s.

To be fair, this could (once again) be a north-south split. The Marysville-Everett area is obviously cooler than the South Sound, and mid-60s may be more normal for what you're used to in August.

The lawn-mowing season usually coincides with our drier time of year (late Spring, Summer, early Fall), so most of the time people water their lawns and mow at separate times. Plenty of people also don't water at all, and lawns just die on their own by about June since it doesn't rain enough here to keep lawns alive all year.

Whatever you say happens there, I always seem to get it one day later. Let's see if it's true here. (The same is true for the Chicago area, including southeast Wisconsin, but two days instead, with the exception of the extreme negative temperatures that happened once.)

Makes sense considering that weather patterns tend to move from west to east.

We say the same thing about the upper Midwest (MN/WI/IA) - their weather will often arrive here about two days later. The one-day point for us would be around central Michigan, but I don't follow their weather enough to know if that holds true.

Likewise for me, it was 61° when I left this morning but the first time since before summer that I felt chilly getting into my car.

Also realizing this morning how lucky my area was to receive rainfall still within storm drain capacity and no tornado damage...among other things, I've seen a house with its entire roof ripped off southwest of Annapolis, and the Vine Street Expressway completely underwater in Central Philly.  Hearing the Schuylkill River is expected to crest at a new record high level at some point this morning.

We were very lucky yesterday, our neighborhood didn't get a lot of rain (couple of very intense downpours, but all of them were quite brief) and we are well away from the three tornadoes reported in Maryland. No flooding around us. My mom lives a few miles away near Fairfax City and a couple of the usual roads near her were flooded, at least one of which (Woodburn Road, for those who know the area) has routinely flooded for as long as I can remember going back to the 1970s, but even that flooding was nothing compared to what Maryland got. The school bus that got stranded by a flash flood in Frederick County, Maryland, made the national news last night. (https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/local/maryland/frederick-county-school-bus-rescue-after-flooding-from-ida/65-d817c270-52d6-4cbe-bb7b-2138afa3d813) The bus driver was found not to be at fault–the road was clear and then apparently the flash flood came out of nowhere (which, of course, is what flash floods do).

Atlanta has been very good at getting missed by storms lately. In the past couple days, some intense severe thunderstorms and flash flooding have hit parts of the north metro, but Atlanta has been just a bit too far south to get anything from those. Then we got totally missed by Mindy - which is a little weird because the vast majority of Florida panhandle storms usually get us in at least some way.

Looks like we will have a week or so of nice dry, warm weather here. A little boring, sure, but I will take the lower dewpoints any day.

The past week was really nice with highs in the low to mid 90s and lows in the upper 70s with low humidity. Today's high was around 85 with a bit more humidity (not quite uncomfortable, but not ideal).

All week it's been sunny, but that's about to change.

Invest 94L (potential TS Nicholas) will head up this way and potentially drop a foot of rain on the SE Texas coast. I'm right in the current bullseye. Luckily the ground is dry and the rivers are running below average, so the biggest threat is flash floods, not river flooding. I personally think this event will be more like Beta last year rather than Harvey or Imelda, but I'm not counting out greater impacts.

It'll be rainy all next week, with highs in the 80s.

I was cutting the grass at 7a.m. By 9am it was 85°, high 92°.
71° at 1130pm, late night thunderstorms developing.
Local weatherman noted 5 possible tropical systems in the Gulf & Atlantic, a couple are only "Invest" & still close to Africa. As noted by Corey Samson upthread there is a system in the far west Gulf that might head for Houston.

Here in Harnett County, its yet to be fall! We have temps in the 90s this week along with a few showers and storms. Not much, but humidity is REALLY kicking in. :bigass:

Wet and windy from TS Nicholas all day today. The high never got out of the 70s. Wind is gusting to around 40 mph as we speak, and hurricane-force gusts are not out of the question for tonight. So far we've picked up 2 inches of rain; an additional 5 to 8 are coming tonight. Tonight will have the strongest tropical winds coastal Houston has seen since Ike in 2008, and the strongest I've personally witnessed since Gustav of that same year.

The northern eyewall of Nicholas went directly over my town at about 1am this morning. I woke up around that time and wondered why it was so quiet. All is fine here, but several friends have downed trees and there is minor wind damage around town. I estimate the winds gusted to about 65 or 70 mph at my house last night. A rain gauge in my neighborhood recorded about 9 inches of rain, but luckily no flooding in the area except for a couple streets in Houston and the surge along the coast. Safe to say this could have been much, much worse for the Houston metro but I'm worried about the rain it will dump on Louisiana, especially Lake Charles.

Agreed. Coastal Louisiana is the last place that needs additional rain or tropical weather right now. Lake Charles had Laura (4) last year, followed by Delta (2) which was a lot of rain and flooding. The extended ice storm in February, a random rain storm in May that flooded much of Lake Charles again. And now potentially Nicholas.

I live in central Louisiana and we are looking at 6-8 inches with pockets of places having 10-15.

Eh, not necessarily...in Oklahoma, especially in the spring, it's not unusual to have a high of 90 and then have something trigger convection that uses all of that heat as an energy source for a big storm.

Doesn't matter when they put the state fair–the weather is always the same.

This year it starts tomorrow and runs through the 26th. The cold front is forecast for Wednesday the 22nd (highs dipping from 91 on Monday to 78 on Wednesday). Currently only a 20% chance on rain, starting on Tuesday, but there's a week to go for the forecast to change (and three more days after Wednesday for the fair to get rained out).

That kind of thing is fairly common pretty much everywhere in the western half of the US in summer. I can recall multiple days in Salt Lake where we broke the 100F mark in the afternoon before getting a big thunderstorm that dropped temps down to the low 70s. Easier to pull off temperature swings that big when you're starting out with classic dry western US summer air.

In Oklahoma specifically, it's more likely to happen during the spring than the summer. Summer is usually characterized by a strong high-pressure system setting up and deflecting any sources of instability, forming a humid but stable "heat dome" effect. This dome is usually only broken by the first strong cold front of fall.

Eh, not necessarily...in Oklahoma, especially in the spring, it's not unusual to have a high of 90 and then have something trigger convection that uses all of that heat as an energy source for a big storm.

That kind of thing is fairly common pretty much everywhere in the western half of the US in summer. I can recall multiple days in Salt Lake where we broke the 100F mark in the afternoon before getting a big thunderstorm that dropped temps down to the low 70s. Easier to pull off temperature swings that big when you're starting out with classic dry western US summer air.

In Oklahoma specifically, it's more likely to happen during the spring than the summer. Summer is usually characterized by a strong high-pressure system setting up and deflecting any sources of instability, forming a humid but stable "heat dome" effect. This dome is usually only broken by the first strong cold front of fall.

I mean, you still have plenty of instability, but you generally can’t use it if there’s a big cap of warm air below it in the mid-levels of the atmosphere. You can still break the cap and get storms if you have some sort of lifting mechanism to push rising air through it... but those are hard to come by under a high pressure ridge which generally promotes sinking air.

Out west the limiting factor is sometimes a cap, but more often it’s just plain moisture. By the time you get to the part of late spring when you’re reaching 90, there is often nowhere near enough moisture for a thunderstorm (think dewpoints in the 20s or even less). Early and mid-summer often has a little more moisture as you start to get more monsoon influence. Not usually enough to make it feel hot and sticky, but enough to fire off a few good storms.

Cold front coming tonight. Highs this week in the low to mid 80s, but that's not the star of the show. That honor belongs to the low humidity and the low temperatures (high 50s) in the morning. Today's probably the unofficial last day of summer for SE Texas.

Dang, how did I miss that? On another note, this might be the first time a season change has correlated with a weather change down here. Usually it feels like summer and spring well before it starts (vice versa for winter and fall).

Not a bad way to start the fall season here in lovely South Texas; yesterday's high temps:

97 degrees in Corpus Christi (H.I. of 111 degrees)
105 degrees in Laredo (H.I. of 113 degrees)
99 degrees in McAllen (H.I. of 110 degrees)

After the cold front last night, our temps have cooled way down for today -- only Laredo and a couple of other places will reach 90 degrees, but most won't even see that today (in the upper 80s).  Fall season has arrived on cue!

After a period of two sunny weeks following Hurricane Nicholas, the rain made a ferocious return this afternoon. A freak stationary thunderstorm parked itself over my area and dropped about 2-3 inches of rain in little more than an hour while bringing constant lightning. I haven't seen so much standing water in the yard since Hurricane Harvey. And it's not going to be over anytime soon, as thunderstorms are in the forecast until this weekend at least. Highs this week will bounce around in the mid 80's.

I have to say this is the most interesting weather year I've ever experienced.

Wow. This afternoon another thunderstorm (not nearly as noisy as the last one) dropped another 3.8 inches of rain within a couple hours. Strangely, most parts of Houston have only received about 2 inches this week. I'll bet we'll total over 10 inches for the week as more rain is in the forecast for the next 3 days (and I'll bet the mosquitoes will be horrendous next week!). The mosquitoes are a crying shame, because next week is forecast to be awesome, with highs in the mid 80s, no clouds, and relatively low humidity.

Our sewers and ditches have actually done an admirable job soaking up all the water this week, which to me is a bit surprising, as while it's not uncommon for t'storms to pop up and dump a couple inches, it's rare to see that happen 2 times in one week. Luckily prior to this week the ground was dry, which is helping prevent any flash flooding.

Yes, most of the year (except summer), our daily lows are usually pretty close to the highs. In winter, the normal highs are in the 40s-50s and the lows don't usually go below 30. In October, our average high is 60 and our average low is 47, for example.

Yep, we're at a Moderate risk today. Line of storms currently around Elk City, moving into the metro this evening. So far, it looks like they're all kind of blobbing together rather than forming discrete supercells. If that continues, it'll just be rain and lightning rather than anything hazardous.

If they "blob together" into a squall line, the hail and violent tornado threat goes down, but you can still get some ridiculous straight-line winds and a spin-up tornado or two (though these are usually short lived and weak). And it looks like that is largely what happened... looking now, there is a continuous line of severe thunderstorm warnings from Tulsa all the way down to Waco with a couple tornado warnings in the mix.

Also, I wouldn't want to be north of Cooperton either from that radar image... even if the tornado misses to the south, you're still right under a tremendous hail core (for those unaware, that green triangle 4 indicates 4-inch diameter hail, which is the size of a softball).

Little damage here from last night's storms. There are a few cracks in my siding, but I'm not sure if they were already there or not, and it looks like my back gate blew open and had a chunk of one of the planks broken off by hitting the corner of the house. My boss lives about a half-mile west of me and his whole back windshield was busted out.

Cloudy and rainy due to Hurricane Pamela. The high is about 80 degrees.

Tomorrow the high will shoot up to 90 (likely the last 90 degree day of the year), and a cold front will push through tomorrow night, bringing highs down to the mid 70s and lows in the mid 50s.

Tomorrow (Friday) looks like it could be the last days of triple-figure high temperatures of the year for South Texas, and I'd like to emphasize the "could be" part, because it might come back again before the holiday season (we seen that happen before).  Tomorrow's highs in the mid-90s along the coast and possibly hovering around 100 degrees inland; heat index ranging from 105-110.

Yesterday's highs in South Texas ranged from the mid-90s (coastal locations) to as much as 100 degrees in Falcon Lake.  After the cool front, we are looking at nighttime lows from upper 50s to mid 60s, and weekend highs in the low 80s.  Then next week it's back to mid-90s.

I'm in Austin for the F1 race weekend and man it's hot. The daytime highs have been low 30's C (high 80's F), and sitting/walking in the direct sun for hours is pretty brutal!

Missoula and vicinity is under a Wind Advisory until 6 PM MDT today for brisk wind gusts up to 40 MPH at times. Stuff that isn't secured may end up getting thrown around and some weak tree limbs may end up crashing into things causing a bit of power delays. So far, that hasn't happened, but it would not surprise me in the least if areas like Potomac, Seeley Lake, Condon, Bearmouth Area near Interstate 90, and areas near Lookout Pass see scattered blasts of 50 or so.

Yesterday morning had a fairly windy thunderstorm, but no damage whatsoever. But the same thunderstorm complex produced some tornadoes in extreme SE Texas, including a wedge visible from the Rainbow Bridge and this one in Orange on I-10:

I was about to say I think it's kinda funny that tornado warnings are big enough deal for NWS SEA that they take the time to make such a polished graphic for them, but I did some digging and apparently those are a new standard graphic that NWS is in the process of rolling out nationwide (OUN has been retweeting them from a Twitter account [@NWSSevereTstorm and @NWSTornado] that posts them for every SVR and TOR warning, no matter which NWS office originates the warning).

I-5 from Seattle to Bellingham on Monday was interesting all right.

Very heavy rain the whole way.  Poor visibility due to the heavy rain, spray thrown up from standing water on the road.  A couple of patches of standing water requiring an alert driver to keep control.  Usual, ummm, not very bright people not bothering to put on their headlights, so they are only a slightly darker shade of grey than the sky and the road.


We were very lucky as far as I-5 in the Chuckanut Mountain area just south of Bellingham.  We got through after the trees that fell over the road in the morning were cleared - the freshly cut fallen trees were obvious.  On the way back, there was a new landslide over the northbound lanes, taking several more large trees with it and completely closing northbound.  But southbound we just had one patch of muddy water over the roadway that I drove at low speed.

Lots of flooding obvious from the highway - mostly agricultural land, with only fenceposts sticking their tops above the water.  Very high water in the rivers.

Can I say thank you here?
To all the designers and builders of roads, for making standing water on the highways an occassional rather than constant problem.
To the state patrol and responders for clearing the same road of fallen trees several times in one busy day, and for responding to accidents all along the highway.

I woke up this morning and it was 21 outside.  Looks like a high of 54.  Yesterday, driving around in the foothills above Boulder, a good amount of snow was sticking up there.

Fairly mild weather pattern here over the past two weeks. The next couple weeks will be a "temperature rollercoaster" according to Houston meteorologists, however. Tomorrow figures to be almost perfect, with a high of 67 and a low in the upper 40s.

Just because hail isn't projected in the forecast doesn't mean it can't happen. Anyways, given the temperature where webny99 is at, I'd suspect the hail is just larger-than-usual sleet.

Yes, I guess you could call it that. More like large ice pellets than the big hail that can fall during thunderstorms.
Title: Re: What's your weather currently?
Post by: US 89 on November 19, 2021, 08:31:54 PM
So... a few things...

1) The SPC map is supposed to outline general areas where severe weather is possible. That doesn't mean severe storms won't happen outside these areas. I've lost count of the number of severe thunderstorm warnings I've been in where there was no SPC outlooked severe area.

2) That map is a forecast of the potential for severe hail, which is greater than 1 inch diameter. That is very rare this time of year that far north as you don't get enough instability/big enough storms to have strong enough updrafts for hail that big. The map says nothing about the potential for small hail, which is significantly more common and would be what happened in NY this morning.

3) Looking at atmospheric soundings and radar from earlier today, I suspect what webny saw was actually graupel. Graupel forms in convective showers at colder temperatures, which is exactly what it looks like the Rochester area saw this morning. For sleet/ice pellets, you want precip to fall through a warm layer where it melts into rain, and then through a cold layer where it refreezes into an ice pellet. Temperatures today in Buffalo (the nearest weather balloon launch site, which is pretty close to Rochester) showed a consistent decrease in temperature with height at low levels. That's not good for sleet but it does suggest some instability, which is good if you want to have the shallow cold-season showers that commonly generate graupel.

Thanks for weighing in here, since I'm not much not good with the technical stuff when it comes to weather. Case in point, I had never heard the term graupel before today, but I think you're right that that's what it was. It came quickly all in one wave and it was definitely bigger than sleet, so people were calling it hail, probably for lack of a better term, but it's good to know there is an actual term for it!  :biggrin:

Today was very hot for early December. The high was 82 degrees! A couple other things of note:

- Not much rain has fallen the past few weeks. Mostly it's been partly cloudy and/or sunny.
- The mornings have been pretty foggy for at least a week now. It seems there's a week every year in late fall or early winter where the fog takes over before the sun burns it off.
- A very random rain shower akin to an afternoon summer rain made an appearance today while I was working this morning.

Also, a special weather statement saying the Colorado Low has moved into Ontario, bringing gusts between 70 and 90 km/h (43 to 56 mph). The temperatures should dip to around the freezing point by tomorrow and through the next week, so hopefully a chance to get our snow back!

Low 40s and raining today, but the next few days are going to pack a real punch:

Possible snowfall for Saturday and Sunday, followed by temperatures plunging on Monday and Tuesday with highs in the low 20s and lows in the single digits. It could potentially break the all-time low for my local area.

So 2021 could be the year that set an all-time high (103) and all-time low (6).

I think we have the most snow on the ground for Christmas at lake level at Lake Tahoe that I have seen in my time here (13th winter now).  I have certainly seen more piled up, but not until a little later in the year, middle of January at least.  The Weather Service forecast has an additional 28 to 48 inches falling at lake level through Monday.

This less than four months after I had to evacuate for several days due to a wildfire that was driven by extreme drought conditions.

Getting a bit of minor icing here in the Connecticut River Valley. Almost none in the north end of Middletown, but may be a bigger deal to the north around Enfield and the Massachusetts border.

A year ago today, we had close to 2.4" of rain at Hartford's Brainard Airport (HFD).

I think Central Park was at least 70 degrees on this day in 2015.

The National Weather Service and Cliff Mass are saying no accumulation today.  Cold enough after the cold front comes through this afternoon, but not enough precipitation.  Tomorrow, maybe.

At my house, about 22 inches of snow have fallen, starting around 2 p.m. Christmas Day through waking up this morning.  I'm at around 6500' so well below the mountain passes.  After a lull during the day today we have a forecast of more than a foot additional falling this evening through Monday, so the midpoint of the 28-48 inch forecast from a couple days ago looks like a good guess.

Caltrans District 3 has announced that I-80 over the Sierra is closed *at least* until Monday.  US 50 and CA 88 are also closed at this time.  Holiday visitors are pretty much stuck in the Tahoe Basin.  For anybody who absolutely had to make it between Tahoe and Sacramento/Bay Area today, my suggestion would be US 395 north from Reno, CA 36 west from Susanville to Red Bluff and then I-5 south.

About 27 F and 4" of snow on the ground around NE 65th St. in Seattle.  Snow still falling.  As of now it's light powder, but expect icing overnight.

I-90 over Snoqualmie Pass is reported open but subject to delays for removal of icicles from roadsigns.

Around 7 to 8 inches of snow on the ground in the upper elevations of Renton/Newcastle, WA (on the other (east) side of Lake Washington from Seattle), and very cold. About 21°F. Dropping down to low teens tonight.

I don't think this much snow was forecast, but it's neat. Went on a nice walk earlier, the plows are out but not in droves.

The next few days look very cold, won't get above freezing until Thursday at the earliest. This is quite a cold stretch for the Seattle region.

8 inches of snow in northern Snohomish County, and plenty of cold to go along with it. High winds helped whip up the snow into a real mess on the roads.

I cleared the 22" of snow from the Saturday-Sunday storm and went to bed on Sunday night, then woke up to another huge pile this morning.  It finally stopped around noon, and this last storm was an "overproducer" with about 25".  The combination of those two storms is why you're seeing all the extended road closures in the Sierra.  With both these storms the temperature was between about 22°F and 28°F which is colder than usual for Sierra snowstorms, so the snow is very powdery, easy to move with a shovel or snowblower but also easy to move with gusty winds.

Very much the same here in the Pacific Northwest. Loving this snow compared to our normal wet concrete mix, since it's actually possible to clear it off surfaces.

There is finally measurable snow. Ground and roads are now coated. It's 33 degrees and supposed to get a bit warmer, so the snow is expected to change over to rain later so there will probably be no trace of the snow by tonight.

High in the 20s, low in the teens.

Morning brought a dusting of snow to go on top of the not-melted snow from the Sunday/Monday storm. Not warm enough yet to create tons of ice, but there are slippery spots all over.

We haven't had much rain here either. But it's not really needed here for the time being, unless I'm wrong and we do need some.

Our low is being constantly changed due to the unusual weather.

December has been very warm for the Ozarks, with many days reaching or getting close to record highs. I'll assume that the ongoing La Nina may have something to do with this.

This all changes in some 48 hours. Friday night's low: 50. Saturday night's low will be forty degrees lower at 10. There is a chance of a thin glazing of ice and/or a dusting of snow Sat. night in the Springfield area, while a full on winter storm is expected further north towards KC.

Post by: CoreySamson on December 31, 2021, 05:45:35 PM
What a year it has been in terms of the weather here in Houston. A rundown of the year's highlights, based on my observations in this thread:

January: Generally cold and pleasant

February: The historic Texas Coldpocalypse. Don't need to say much more. Temperatures got down to 15 degrees, all of Texas under a Winter Storm Warning, wind chill values under 0, bizarre ice and sleet, and I couldn't find a working bathroom to poop in for 24 hours.

March: Not very interesting, but I did note the ice cream truck made an appearance.

April: Severe Thunderstorm Watch in the middle of the month for a squall line that ended up fizzling before we could get any rain. About a week later, a nasty thunderstorm blew through with 50 mph straight line winds and a lot of lightning.

May: On the first, areas SW of Houston picked up 15 inches of rain in 48 hours. Afterwards, the mosquitoes went completely ballistic. On the 16th, more than 11 inches fell in other rural areas to the southwest of town. Later that week, we got a tornado watch and a lot more rain. Also, a tropical invest came ashore.

June: Finally hit 90 degrees on the 6th, after places like Boston, Portland, and NYC did. Otherwise normal.

July-August: Lots and lots of Saharan dust, and cooler than average.

September: Hurricane Nicholas. Personally witnessed the eyewall of the storm, 65+ mph winds, and 10 inches of rain. Later that month, a freak thunderstorm dropped about 5 inches of rain in a couple of hours. Then on the 30th, it happened again within a week, dropping another 4 inches or so in an hour or so.

October: Very warm. Another thunderstorm which went on to produce tornadoes near Beaumont came through the area, but with no damage. Also, the days before Halloween were extremely windy.

November: Temperature rollercoaster, but otherwise mild.

December: Record-breakingly warm, and early in the month, it was consistently foggy.


Tomorrow a blue norther will make an appearance, dropping the temperature 40 degrees in less than 48 hours. Expected to get down to freezing on the 2nd (plus 25 mph sustained winds!).

EDIT: Now we have a Freeze Watch in effect, and it's 75 degrees outside. What a world.

When you do text as an image, it means anyone who needs machine-readable text cannot understand the message. That would include blind people who use screenreaders, and people who use text-only browsers like Lynx, not that I know for sure that we have either of those on this forum for the time being. But in the past we did have a member who was posting from a Navy ship out at sea, who I think could only get the site to load five posts at a time, and if there were any images that were too large they wouldn't load at all.

I'm guilty of it too, since I usually exclusively post screen grabs of the WeatherStar 4000 emulator to this thread. But I figured I'd mention something since you've expressed an interest in Web design in the past, and accessibility is extremely important for Web design. (Text as images also can't be indexed by search engines, meaning it has SEO implications as well.)

Here's what it looks like in Lynx (and thus someone with a screenreader would get something similar read out loud to them):

Today:

Brownsville:  66 low, 81 high
Corpus Christi:  63 low, 87 high
Laredo:  59 low, 85 high
McAllen:  61 low, 89 high

But of course another cold front tonight will send our temperatures plunging back down again.  Most of our area will drop below 40 for lows, a couple of locations could be down to almost the freezing point.

This is typical South Texas winter every year, highs keep migrating from a string of 80-degree days to consecutive days of really frigid weather and right back to the 80s again and again to very cold weather and so on.

Speaking of weather!  Yesterday my local astronomy association hosted a NASA "ambassador", a volunteer who speeks before groups about various space missions and he spoke mostly about the mars rover Perseverance and its drone helicopter Ingenuity.  Yesterday was a historic occassion!  A bit of a Mars dust storm was coming up and there was a flight with Ingenuity scheduled, so it became the first scheduled flight cancelled on account of weather on a planet other than Earth.

Southeast AZ is very bipolar at the moment. We've had several 29 degree mornings with frost on the windshield, and several 80+ degree afternoons, all within the past week or so.

Can't say a a 50 degree morning-afternoon delta is unheard of around here. Then again, I can't say I've ever gotten used to it either. Heavy coat in the morning, T-shirt 8 hours later.

Missouri's entire stretch of I-44 is expected to be covered by 5-9 inches of snow, which starts in about an hour. The highest expected snow amounts from this round of snow follow the corridor. Thus far in Springfield, all I have received is a thin layer of ice and sleet. There is a two in three chance that Springfield will receive at least six inches of snow over the next 24 hours.

It's just starting here, with about an inch so far on top of the ~foot we still had on the ground. It was above 40° yesterday and only 32° now, so it's very wet and sticky snow, the kind that looks beautiful, surreal almost, when it's fresh.

Here in Wichita we received about six inches of snow.  The storm appears to have moved on, though we aren't due to see temperatures above freezing until tomorrow.  Because the precipitation started as rain, brine pretreatment was not an option, and KDOT's statewide public-affairs person has said that the agency's snowplow operators have essentially been forced to bash off ice and packed snow in a slow process that has left the bulk of the state highway system marked as completely snow-covered as of last night.

This is what I-235 near me looked like at about 10:39 PM yesterday.

It seems crazy that folks in KS/OK/TX are getting the same storm that I'm getting. It appears to be a very slow moving storm. The live cams on the Thruway (link below) show mostly clear roads, and traffic seems to be moving at speed, although the roads are definitely snow covered up here closer to the lake.

The current storm system has resulted in predicted snow along an unbroken line extending northeast from Crockett County, Texas (near the Rio Grande) to Aroostook County, Maine.

When I was doing my tour of traffic cameras last night, I noticed KC Scout was showing long lengths of I-35, I-435, and US 69 with all lanes 100% clear on the Kansas side.  Per Wunderground, precipitation started in the KC area as light snow, not rain, so I suspect this was a contributing factor.

I fear the problem of ice underneath snow will become more prevalent due to climate change.  In Kansas the dividing line between Köppen climate zones Cfa (covering much of the South) and Dfa (covering much of the Old Northwest) used to be right along the I-70 corridor, with a tripoint with the BSk zone (arid steppe, covering much of the West just east of the Rockies) around Hays.  Recent maps show the Cfa/Dfa boundary right at the Nebraska state line.

This said, I did manage to shovel my driveway completely clear yesterday.  Albedo reduction proved to be effective even with full cloud cover, ambient temperature in the teens, and a 20 MPH wind out of the northwest.  As long as there is daylight and driveway concrete can peek through after the shovel passes, the remaining snow and ice will melt.   Unfortunately, there was some added snow and drifting, and the driveway did not dry out completely before sunset, so there are now patches of glare ice.

Come to think of it, this follows an almost identical path to the 2024 solar eclipse (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_April_8,_2024) which will happen approx. 2 years + 2 months from now.

Schools are canceled in my area due to a Freeze Warning and Wind Chill Advisories.  Highs in South Texas range from low 40s along the coast to upper 40s farther inland.


On an interesting note if you take all the daily national highs for last month (January 2022), 14 days occurred in various locations across Florida, one day in Arizona, 5 days in California, and 11 days in Texas.  The highest of which was 99 degrees in Falcon Lake, Texas on New Years Day, breaking the all-time January record for Texas (and the USA for that matter) by one degree, the old January record was 98 degrees in the same location set back in 1997.

But that would be like your Denver area issuing an Excessive Heat Warning for a heat index higher than 100 degrees, whereas in my area, that's a normal late-spring or early-fall weather for us (You don't want to know what our summer days are like).  You can only handle what you're used to.

It gets up to 100 here though too.  It's just amusing to me I suppose.  I had school cancelled due to cold for me when I grew up in Minnesota because of -35 with a -65 wind chill.  To my knowledge, that's my only time I had school cancelled because of cold.

In my early days of school, -25 wind chill was the threshold for school cancellation. That may have changed now, I'm not sure. In any case, it only happened a few times that I can remember.

And I know this is more of an east/west dynamic than a north/south one but... you feel the cold a lot quicker when it's a damp cold. That actually makes the dry cold out west almost more dangerous because you don't notice it as fast. Here in the east, when it gets really cold it chills you to the bone almost immediately when you step outside.

Also Texans and Floridians wouldn't call this "Excessive Heat" but, looks like California has their own definition of it.

California wouldn't call that excessive heat in summer, either. The western 1/3 of the US uses criteria for those heat advisories and warnings that doesn't involve set temperatures but instead takes into account several factors, including departure from normal and time of year. So while 90 degree highs may not be unusual in summer, they are 25 degrees above average for this time of year, and nobody is prepared for this sort of heat in early February.

Another factor here is that a not-insignificant percentage of that region's population this time of year is snowbirds from up north, who may not be used to typical California summer heat.

^ Yeah I get what you're saying, but even in the winter season (though fairly infrequent) 80s and 90s is not unheard of in California and Texas.  In fact Texas saw several such days just last month plus the last eight consecutive days of 2021 (Dec. 24-Dec 31).

You're right that it is unseasonably warmer than normal, but even so the forecast for the surrounding LA area is mostly in 80s (upper 80s tops), which is not even close to excessively hot; in fact not even hot enough to worry about any heat stroke or heat-related casualty.

What a difference a year makes!

A year ago, South Texas area was crippled by sub-freezing temperatures caused by last February's historically frigid winter storm.  In fact in one night overnight lows dropped below 20 degrees in several places, and highs peaked barely above freezing.


Today, not as cold as it was a year ago:

Brownsville:  high 84, low 68
Corpus Christi:  high 82, low 64
Laredo:  high 86, low 61
McAllen:  high 88, low 63

After a very warm day yesterday in Atlanta with highs in the low 70s, a rather impressive storm system moved through late in the evening. A few tornadoes were reported earlier in the day in Alabama, but by the time the storms made it here they had organized into a squall line, and a few severe thunderstorm warnings were issued (including one for downtown Atlanta) for the possibility of 60 mph winds. I'm not sure if those verified anywhere in the Atlanta metro, but the storm brought some of the heaviest rain I've ever seen in February. Streets became rivers and intersections became lakes in a matter of minutes.

Although it's sunny today, we're not going to break 50. Should warm back up a bit for the weekend before what looks to be another very warm and wet period next week.

Spring is already here in South Texas....at least for the next day or two before another cold front slices through.  Tomorrow's highs are looking at 90s for most of the region, expect some upper 80s along the Gulf coast.  A few locations could be approaching 100 degrees.  Overnight lows in the upper 60s to around 70 degrees.

It is bloody cold in Missoula at 9 degrees, wind chills between 15 to 25 below zero. Currently under a Wind Chill Advisory until 5 AM MST Wednesday for most of Western Montana. The NWS office has placed most valley locations between elevated and significant extreme cold conditions as winds continue to push chills close to 50 below zero in isolated locations and between 30 to 40 below near higher terrain and backcountry areas. I don't see this trend breaking up until after Wednesday evening when the artic front finally pushes out of Montana when we begin returning to 30s and 40s next week.

Corpus Christi:  92 high, 71 low
Laredo:  98 high, 68 low
McAllen:  96 high, 72 low
Falcon Lake:  102 high, 70 low

Several places actually did reach triple-digits this afternoon.  Falcon Lake was just two degrees short of tying the state's February record of 104 degrees.


Tomorrow's temperatures -- after the cold front:

Corpus Christi:  74 high, 46 low
Laredo:  71 high, 42 low

Of the daily record highs for last month (February 2022):

One day occurred in Arizona
Eight days in California
13 days in Florida
Five days in Texas

Exactly half the days (14 days) last month peaked in the 90s, and one of those days reached triple-digits.  The highest of the days occurred at Falcon Lake, Texas (102 degrees).

2/22/2022 – snow, low temp 10°F

However, it's also saying a wind warning for today with gusts up to 90 km/h (56 mph), so hopefully that starts later in the day.

Interesting. Not sure I've ever seen that much snow melt without it getting over freezing. But I suppose the sun is stronger further south, so that wouldn't be as likely to happen here until April-May, by which time if we do get snow, it's usually less than 4 inches.

Currently at Craig Airport, it is 75 degrees. Today calls for clouds and a possibility of showers. Starting tomorrow, there is an increased chance of showers (90%), though it then drops down to 30% later tomorrow before going back up to 60% by tomorrow's end then back up to 90% on Friday, followed by a drop to 80% for Friday night and Saturday. The rain will be gone for Saturday night, but the low will be cold at 35 degrees. Sunday's high will be cool at 56 degrees.

69 degrees at Craig Airport. Flood watch until close to lunch time tomorrow. I'm not that far from a major tributary of the St Johns River (Pablo Creek aka San Pablo River), but far away enough to not be in a flood zone.

Severe storms tomorrow. Hope we dodge a bullet before cooler weather sets in.

90% chance of rain tomorrow as well.

No significant rain chances again until next Tuesday, when there's 80% in the forecast.

Today:  Lows were upper 60s to near 70 degrees across South Texas last night, and today's highs are looking at mid 90s to low 100s.  Falcon Lake is expected to reach 101 degrees.  Rainy today and turning to thunderstorms tomorrow.

Not the same location actually.  The rain storms will only affect the coastal areas, but remaining clear and dry along the Mexican border.

It is more of the same weather as last week:  fairly warm and breezy....highs in low 90s to upper 90 all across South Texas, and not enough moisture in the air to tone down the fire danger alert here.  For those of you that are used to the metric scale, that would be something like 32 to 37 degrees Celsius.

For those of you warm-weather lovers up north, not meaning to rub it in, but this is why I love my South Texas home area so much.  Still more of the same conditions as the last week of March:  Highs in the 90s for the vast majority of the area, except for upper 80s along the coast, and not much is going to change in the first week of April. 

Normally to end March/start April, average lows are in the 60s, and average highs are low 80s along the coast and mid 80s for most of the area.

SE Texas is currently in a Pollenpocalypse. Oak tree pollen counts are up to 10,000 grains per cubic meter (for comparison, the highest that we usually get is 3,000-5,000; it's enough to drive my allergies mad, even though I'm rarely affected by them). I've seen theories that this is the oak tree's natural response to really cold snaps like what we had last year. What's crazier is that the wind has been pretty strong as of late, meaning that there's a light haze of pollen and dust in the area. Cloudy with a chance of pollen sounds really gross. Oh, and there's a Red Flag Warning, which I don't think I've seen before in the Houston area. Other than that, it's been pretty nice and sunny.

Most of Western Montana and Northern Idaho are experiencing gusty winds between 40 to 60 MPH sustained average and unseasonably lower temperatures for early to mid April. It's 34 and overcast with on and off flurries. A Hind Wind Warning and Winter Storm Warning have been issued for much of Western Montana and Northern Idaho through Tuesday. Very unusual winter weather for this time of year in Western Montana for sure.

High of 67 and the wind finally settling down after a few blustery days. We need some rain around here, otherwise fires are going to be bad again.

Houston also needs some rain. The typical spring thunderstorms we usually get are dying out near College Station and not making their way down here. We haven't even gotten a quarter-inch of rain so far this month. Worse, no rain is in the forecast for the next 2 weeks. We're in a severe drought already and it's only going to get worse from here on out as it warms up.

We've refused to turn the heat back on.  This morning, it was down to 63°F in the house–which, for a person with zero body fat like me, can lead to hypothermia.  It's currently 60°F and sunny outside, though, and our picture window faces the setting sun, so it's nice right now.

This is great weather for reading on the front porch after work, especially because the mosquitoes aren't out yet.

This is a great time of year to be outside in general (although not at this exact moment here, due to the conditions noted above). Some people think 45-60 degrees is too cold to be outside, but I think it's near-perfect weather, especially when the sun is shining.

Now is typically the time when parts of South Texas start averaging 90 degrees, but so far this year our area has already seen it on 20-30 days.  Laredo has seen 30 days of 90+ and eight days in the triple-digits since the year 2022 began.  I can't wait to see what our summer weather brings to us this year.

I just got an alert that we might be affected by a huge snowstorm today.  This was from an MSO for whom we do business in Kansas City and Lincoln, NE.  The current temperature in both cities is above 35°F, and the forecast for both is above 55°F.   :confused:

Then I kept reading and realized it's because one of the call centers for our field techs is in Vestal, NY–where they've already gotten more than ten inches of snow.  Ah, now it makes more sense!

What a strange storm. Just 100 miles away, it's currently 37F and overcast, and I haven't seen so much as one snowflake. It's possible there was some snow overnight, but if there was, it was gone by 7AM.

Usually, it gets colder the further inland you travel, but with this storm, it seems like the zone of below freezing temperatures is much narrower than usual... and it's not lake effect snow, either, because the affected areas are too far from the Great Lakes for that.

A considerably cooler day today!  Highs only in the upper 80s, after the last several weeks of temperatures climbing above 90 degrees on a daily basis.  So a bit of a break from the warmth for now before it starts rising again.  But overnight lows remain between 70 and 80 degrees.  We probably won't be seeing 60s again until this fall.

Yeah I've noticed in the last week or so the trees are starting to bloom. Hopefully the cold didn't hurt the flowers, but most people here wait until the May Two-Four to plant theirs for that reason.

The small amount of snow melted pretty quickly this morning, though I did have to scrape off my car. It was more ice than snow TBH.

No injuries have been reported so far, but firefighters are still clearing houses.  The Wichita Eagle has one picture of a Buick on top of what remains of a garage, and another of a vehicle thrown through the front glass wall of the Andover YMCA.  There is also video from the inside of the YMCA showing much of the roof is gone.

I live on the east side of Wichita.

My wife and I had dropped our eldest son off at a church retreat near Santa Fe Lake, which is a few miles east of Andover.  I had had my parents pick up our two younger boys for the night, so my wife and I could have a night to ourselves (our anniversary was a week before that, and all five of us going out to a Chinese buffet didn't cut it for an anniversary celebration).

We were in a bar in the basement of the Ambassador Hotel, downtown Wichita, when everyone's cell phones started going off with weather alerts.  But, in the basement, nobody had any data coverage to find out details.  After a gentlemen at the next table over from us had gone upstairs a couple of times, I asked his wife if she knew any details, and she said the tornado was somewhere near Andover.  Oh, gee, great! we thought:  that's were our son was, at a church camp, with who-knows-what storm shelter.  But, on the other hand, he was in good hands, and there was nothing we could do about it anyway.

We finished our date, drove home through pouring rain and hail and high winds and arrived home without even knowing exactly where the tornado had gone through.  We texted our youth pastor, and he eventually replied that they had taken shelter but were out of the path of the storm.  I heard later that it had been headed toward them but turned away to the north, and it missed them by about three miles.  Our son told us later that they were trying to watch a video session that evening and had to stop it to take shelter, then came back from sheltering and started up the video again, then had to stop it again and shelter again.  The goal that night was to have lights out at 11pm but, because everyone was so amped up after the storm, our youth pastor basically said "screw it" and just let everyone play games till 2am instead.

The mother of one of the children in my wife's home daycare works as a vet in Andover, and we saw on the news that her vet clinic is offering to kennel and treat any pets that have been affected or displaced by the storm, free of charge.  I heard on the radio that cleanup efforts are now being coordinated through a local church in Andover.

More than 1000 buildings were damaged or destroyed, yet–as far as I know–there were no deaths.

This week will steadily warm up to 94 or so by next Saturday (coincidentally, I have to referee that day. Water breaks for all!).

In other news:  Of the April daily highest locations, one occurred in Arizona, seven in California, and 22 in Texas.  The highest of which was a tie:  111 degrees in both McAllen (on April 6th) and Falcon Lake (April 13th) in Texas.

Meanwhile in Utah, Salt Lake City had a severe thunderstorm warning for 70 mph winds associated with showers along a cold front yesterday. From what I’m hearing, there were several measured severe-level wind gusts and damage reports scattered around the valley, and now there’s even some snow in the higher valley areas.

received several inches of rain over the last few days.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday...

.Thunderstorms...
Showers and thunderstorms will continue to be possible across the
area Wednesday into Thursday. Some elevated storms producing hail
up to the size of half dollars will be possible Wednesday morning.
The higher chance for severe storms will be Wednesday afternoon
into Thursday although there are a number of uncertainties
including the impact of the activity tonight into Wednesday
morning. However, one or more boundaries are expected to be in or
near the area Wednesday which could continue to aid thunderstorm
development and severe weather. Large hail, damaging winds, and
tornadoes will be possible. With the uncertainties, continue to check
the forecast for the latest information.

After Thursday, a dry period is expected until low thunderstorm
chances return to parts of the area Monday.

.Heavy Rain...
Heavy rain which could cause flooding will be possible Wednesday
into Thursday, especially in those areas that have already
received several inches of rain over the last few days.

High risk in the near future?

Doubtful; they rarely revise the risk categories this close to the start of an event. Actually, I think they only issue new convective outlooks at 0600Z and 1200Z (and maybe 1800Z), so there isn't time for another update before the event starts.

Latest HWO:
Hazardous Weather Outlook

This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of northern...
western...central...and southern Oklahoma...and western north
Texas.

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight...

.Thunderstorms...
Several rounds of severe storms continue to be possible through
early Thursday.

Thunderstorms are expected to develop this afternoon and evening
with severe storms likely. The highest potential for severe
weather is in parts of southwest Oklahoma and western north Texas.
Hail up to the size of baseballs and damaging winds are possible
this afternoon and evening. There is also the potential for
tornadoes this afternoon and evening with a medium risk generally
along and south of I-40 but the highest potential is expected in
parts of southwest Oklahoma and western north Texas.

Severe storms will then be possible later this evening into
Thursday as a cold front moves across the area. Damaging winds and
hail up to the size of ping pong balls will be possible with this
activity. A tornado or two embedded in this line of storms can not
be ruled out but the higher chances for tornadoes will be with the
earlier activity previously mentioned.

Conditions will continue to change throughout the day so check the
forecast often for the latest information and stay weather aware.

.Heavy Rain...
Dangerous flash flooding may accompany heavy rainfall today through
tonight.

Regularly scheduled convective outlooks for day 1 come at 0600Z, 1300Z, 1630Z, 2000Z, and 0100Z. They can do emergency updates but that is exceptionally rare.

A high risk would be extremely unlikely for today given that the moderate itself was a 1630 upgrade (they started the day off at Enhanced). I was also a little surprised at how far east they pushed the MDT, but it makes sense - they were holding back due to the potential of morning thunderstorms working over some of the instability, but that did not happen.

Thanks for the info.

I suppose if I ever disagree with the convective outlook I could just run down the street and yell at them–the Storm Prediction Center is right off SH-9 here in Norman, after all. I've toured the facility during the Weather Festival that they hold annually, although we were only able to look at the SPC offices through the window (though they had lots of stuff outside the office showing what it is they do and how, including maps marked up by hand that were used at some point during the forecast process that were free for the taking).

Rain with a Ford pickup stranded in the middle of AR-16 east of the Illinois River bridge and a beaver swimming on the road toward it.  Guess his lodge got washed away.  Lots of closed county roads and submerged bridge approaches right now.  Search and rescue on one of the county roads a little over a mile from my house to rescue horses and people in trailer houses that are in Clear Creek's new boundaries.  Logs and very large rocks on the road where the graders/loaders haven't cleared them off yet.

Corpus Christi:  98 high, 77 low  (with fog overnight)
Laredo:           107 high, 76 low
McAllen:          104 high, 78 low


Moderately humid with dew points in the 70s; so heat index will range from 110-115. 

This is considerably above normal for early May, which averages low-90s to mid-90s for highs and upper 60s to low-70s at night.

ICT has recorded 3.55 inches of rain in the last seven days.  1.84 of them were yesterday.

According to the forecast, though, we're out of it now.  It's still cloudy and drizzly right now, but the skies are supposed to clear up by the afternoon, and then it's sunny skies in the forecast for the next week or two.  I've worn flannel shirts the last couple of days, but Mother's Day is supposed to get up into the 90s.

Heat Index in Laredo soared to 118 degrees today (high of 103 degrees along with the dew point of 76 degrees).  This is normal in August but not in early May.

And moisture from the gulf + summer-like temperature + strong breeze aloft = severe thunderstorms likely around sunset tonight.

It's starting to feel like summer here this week. The weekend was sunny with highs of 16C (61F) and it's been getting warmer each day. Got to wear T-shirt and shorts for the first time this year, though I'll admit it was a tad cool when the breeze picked up. :)

By Wednesday the high will be 25C (77F), and it's expected to be mainly sunny until the weekend, which has potential thunderstorms.

Mid to upper 90s for the high temperatures lately.  We turned on the a/c last week in advance and have now realized it must have a leak or something.  The maintenance guy can't come out till Friday at the latest.  It was 83°F in the house when we woke up this morning.

We turned on ours last Sunday.

Are your evaporator coils iced up (often evident as condensation and water trickling out of the box that holds it)?  As we learned last summer when we had to have our A/C recharged, that is a telltale sign of too little refrigerant in the system.

A good friend from church, who is the father of one of the children in my wife's home daycare, brought over a portable a/c unit for us to put in the living room.  With it running, she's been able to keep that part of the house at a steady 85°F today.  That's a good thing, because she would be legally required to close daycare at 86°F.

Ha!...I'll have to tell my wife we keep the house one degree above legally mandated daycare temperatures for Kansas during the summer.

Speaking of summer and California, this has been an unusually cool year.  It's been in the high 60s since Sunday.  There was even a May snow in the Sierra Nevada Mountains which is pretty unusual for this time of year.  We hit the 90s by the weekend but taper off into the high 80s from there.  I wonder if we will turn on the AC before June at this rate?

Not just Kansas.  California too.  However, I do see there's a rather vague exception to the 85°F maximum.

Because the power company told everyone to turn the temperature down in their homes during last year's Coldpocalypse™, we almost but didn't quite hit the minimum.  I'm pretty sure we got down below 68°F, though.

Temperatures still in the 50s with rain mixed in with overcast days.

However, I'm starting to look around at portable ACs because I don't want a repeat of last year, in which a little unit I bought struggled to cool my room down to under 90F overnight. A permanent unit is impossible for multiple reasons and the contractors are booked solid through the year because everyone got fed up with not having AC.

I have this sneaking suspicion snowc would be horrified by the fact our house was at 83F last night and they I have yet to turn the AC for the season (aside from a March test run).  I don't plan on turning the AC on until it gets to 87F, if my wife and I are comfortable then we still won't.

Today's (or technically yesterday's...) weather was exciting. The morning started off nice and sunny, then a thunderstorm rolled in, lasted about 10-15 minutes, but had such intense wind that it knocked off several trees in the area. The temperature dropped from 26 to 17C very quickly from the storm, before creeping up again once it cleared.

The power was out in our neighbourhood from noon until about midnight, which left us as one of the last spots in the city to get our power back. It was certainly annoying to check KWHydro's website, where it first predicted 3:30pm for restoring power, then 7:30, then 10:45, and finally 3:45am (though thankfully they beat that last time by quite a bit). Good to know for the future that those estimates don't mean much. :-D

That same cold front that brought frigid conditions up north also came through here sending our temperatures plunging to below-normal numbers for once:  Highs ranging from the mid-80s in Corpus Christi to around 90 degrees in Laredo.  And nighttime temperatures dropping from low 80s before the cold front to low 70s after the front passed.

Interesting... It was from 9 PM to 11 PM here on the 22nd. Aren't we supposed to be about a day apart? In the past, my weather compared to this thread has been pretty reliably 1 day after webny99 and 2 days after anyone living in Chicago or the Milwaukee area. Maybe it was different because this storm moved northeast instead of just east?

Sorry, I should have clarified I was referring to Saturday. The storms passed through here at about 8 to 10 PM on Saturday, and it would have been earlier than that in the Kitchener area if they lost power around noon.

We've gotten so much rain here that our basement had a decent amount of standing water.  Fortunately, the last time that happened, a few years ago, we had the carpet ripped up and replaced it with area rugs.  The usual spots on the walls, where the foundation is cracked, weren't dripping much water, though, and a lot of the water was in the middle of the room.  So I suspect the water table is just that much higher than usual.

Over the previous nine days, Wichita has received nine inches of rain, and four of them were yesterday alone.

Today's forecast:  sunny, with a high in the mid-70s

You live on the east side, where soils are more clayey and basement problems related to poor drainage are thus more common.

Here on the west side, where soils are more sandy, we have a couple of basement windows that are not fully watertight.  In most downpours, this usually results in trickles or sheets of water running down the unfinished concrete walls that drain harmlessly around the edge of the floor slab.  But on Tuesday night, when we had three solid hours of inch-per-hour rain, we actually had some ponding on the floor.

Supposedly we finished May with 12.95 inches, making it the second-wettest May on record.  That is a bit over one-third our average annual rainfall of 34 inches.

Of the daily record highs last month in May 2022:

Eight days occurred in California, and 23 days in Texas.  The hottest day of May 2022 was a tie:  114 degrees in Thermal, CA and Presidio, TX.


Side Note:  When there is an excessive heat issued for Death Valley of all places, you know that's as extreme as it gets.  Sure enough, it will exceed 120 degrees this weekend there.  That pretty much rules out Death Valley from places I might be considering to visit this weekend.

Very hot start to summer thus far, even by Houston standards. Today was sunny with a high of 92, but this weekend many spots in the Houston metro could reach 100 degrees with about 50% humidity (which equates to a heat index of around 118 degrees). Also, it last rained two weeks ago and no more rain is in sight barring a freak tropical system.

It was sunny in Wichita today, but both hot and humid.  As I write this, it is 88° F with 68% relative humidity, which translates to a dew point of 76° F, which is unusually unpleasant even by our standards.

We've been having a mini-heatwave the past couple days in Salt Lake City, with a high of 97 both yesterday and the day before. Dewpoints are in the 40s, which isn't high by eastern standards but you absolutely notice if you're not used to it. I went hiking the other day and I sweat way more than I usually do at these temperatures here.

Today should be similar, but then a mega cold front is supposed to move through after tonight with some rain showers. We may not break 70 tomorrow.

Slightly above normal for mid-June, but still more of the same temperature as we've seen the past few months:

Yesterday's temperatures (+/- degrees above/below normal in parentheses):

Brownsville:      102 high (+6), 81 low (+4)
Corpus Christi:  101 high (+7), 82 low (+2)
Laredo:            107 high (+8), 78 low (+1)
McAllen:           106 high (+8), 80 low (+2)

We've been holding steady at these temperatures since late April.  Robstown and Kingsville in particular registered a heat index of 116 degrees (I can recall about a month ago HI was in the low 120s).  The breezy conditions though really kept the heat quite tolerable with wind gusts between 20 and 25 MPH.

To be fair, even if the US had won the right to host in 2022, the temperatures wouldn't be much better in many cities. (Doha is currently in the 90s, but will be in the 110s soon)

Well today was a closer shave with tornadoes than I thought I would ever have. I work on the north side of Sun Prairie. Today I was scheduled to work until 7. The breeze picked up around 2, the sky started to darken around 5, by 6:30 it looked like it was coming any minute. I was watching the radar, left early at 6:40. As I was walking to my car, it was that still moment where the wind stops right before the heavy rain starts. First raindrop hit the windshield at 6:45. When I got home at 6:50 it was pouring, and the tornado warning was issued a minute later at 6:51 . . . for the storm that was passing directly over where I work, and then along US-151 towards Columbus. A tornado formed over western and northern Sun Prairie but it thankfully never touched down.

All in all, it ended up being a weaker storm than Monday where I am in terms of appearance to the naked eye. But large parts of the state were hit today by stronger winds and tornadoes that actually touched down.

I was watching the weather yesterday morning when SPC put out the enhanced risk out for almost all of Wisconsin. I did my composite maps by 11:30. If I was able to chase, my target area was going to be Juneau County north-northwest of the Dells. I made Mauston to Necedah my call. The nose of the 500mb shortwave mixed in with the mid 70 dewpoints had that area primed. The only question was when the Cap was going to break. It did about 3 pm. The Tomah-Wyeville tornado was on the ground by 420 pm.  Judging by some of the drone damage footage I saw, I would not be surprised if it is rated high EF2 or low EF3.

There was also widespread wind damage that hit 2 towns I used to live in as a kid. Wautoma and Princeton. I heard there was going to be a damage survey today or tomorrow to determine if that was straight line wind damage or a tornado.

Temperatures are nothing unusual to end the Spring season:

Nighttime Lows between the upper-70s and mid-80s.  Galveston, Texas in particular may fail to drop below 86 degrees in the next 48 hours.  Daytime Highs between upper 90s and low 100s.

Some clouds will form due to the moderate level of moisture and heat, but the probability of any thunderstorms will be low.  A few isolated storms may spring up every now and then, but will promptly dissipate within an hour.

After an above normal spring, some forecasts suggest a slightly below normal summer.  Laredo normally sees about 70 to 75 days of triple-digit days per year, but are already more than half-way there with 41 days of 100+ degrees so far for 2022, with summer yet to even start (and our usual hottest month is still ahead in August).  In that same respect, that city averages 180 days (half the year), at 90+ degrees a year and already are at 96 such days so far this year.

The high temp hasn't been below 93°F since June 10.  I'm looking forward to Wednesday, because it should provide a little bit of a "break" by only getting up to 92.  Friday's forecast high is 104.

No rain outside of a couple of drizzles has fallen in the past month or so here in my south Houston exurb, and no rain is in the forecast. Also, it has been very hot, even for here. Usually high temperatures this time of year average about 91 degrees or so; this week is pretty much all in the mid to high 90s. But this weekend, the temperature is projected to get up to 101, which is surprisingly rare for the coastal Houston area. It's quite a sharp contrast when compared to last year where we got our first 90 degree day around this time. Extreme drought is happening right now and it will likely become worse over the next few weeks, potentially rivaling 2011's drought.

^ Get used to the triple-digits, it's going to stay that way every day for the next week or so in your part of the state.  Next weekend the Houston area will be seeing mid-100s and you might not drop below 80 at night.  Galveston's overnight lows won't be dropping below low-80s any time soon.

We've had a wild week of weather here in northern Utah. We had our first 100 degree day of the year about a week ago, getting up to 102 with lows above 70 thanks to warm desert southwest winds in advance of a storm system that delivered a little rain and knocked temps down quite a bit to lows in the 40s. (That was the same system that flooded Yellowstone.)

This weekend was essentially a repeat of that but with stronger impacts around here. Thursday and Friday both reached the 100 degree mark with lows in the 70s, this time with much stronger south winds - enough for a high wind warning. Those winds kicked up a ton of dust, which actually helped bring the temps down a bit on Saturday, and it was so thick on I-80 across the salt flats that the NWS issued a rare dust storm warning there. Yesterday was cooler still and had a little more monsoon moisture especially in the eastern part of the state, so storms over there produced some flash flooding and even up to half dollar size hail in the Price area. Northwest Utah had less moisture, but that meant the storms that did form there produced dry microbursts over 75 mph at some sites. Both the large-scale winds and storm outflows have fanned several wildfires and grass fires across the state over the past few days, one of which closed I-80 for a time yesterday. But anything that started recently in the northern half of the state is almost certainly out now - this morning, I woke up to thunder and lightning at 5am, which was followed by several hours of rain. It even got cold enough for some snow to stick above ~6500 feet.

No more storms for a bit, but highs will be back in the 90s in a couple days and then we may be looking at another early monsoon surge event with more chances for afternoon thunderstorms by the end of the week. Huge swings like this are not uncommon in the west, but I don't think I remember having anything similar after the middle of June here. It's not often that we get strong mid-latitude systems interacting with monsoon moisture, and when we do it's usually at the tail end of summer.

Gonna get toasty in Missoula this week. Welcome to the hot dog days of summer 2022 in Montana, y'all. This is usually the beginning of the dry spell, too. All the moisture we got in the beginning of June has pretty much fizzled out.

Right now it's 82. I see two hot spot type of days. Monday and Saturday. The forecast high for Monday is 93 and Saturday is 89. Orofino and Riggins, ID are set to hit the century mark on Monday with Riggins forecast to hit 102. We stand at a level 2 heat risk according to the heat risk models. So if anyone is in Western Montana or Northern Idaho Panhandle, better have some water with 'ya to stay hydrated through the day.

Right around normal conditions we typically expect to see for this time of the year.  For today and tomorrow:

Nighttime Lows:  upper 70s to low 80s
Daytime Highs:   upper 90s to low 100s

On an interesting note:  McAllen hit 111 degrees on April 5th & 6th of this year, but have not reached that mark since then and (knock on wood) hopefully won't for the rest of the year.

I don't want to rag on Bruce specifically (he is a good friend), so I won't. But I will say this: many Seattleites pride themselves on their supposed love for mild, cloudy days, and temperatures in the 70s at most. It goes without saying that almost no one here has any idea how good we have it, and it's frankly insulting to the rest of this country how much people around here bitch about temperatures that would be considered very comfortable in most other places.

I, for one, miss the sun, and would take 80s and 90s everyday for the next three months if I could. Our Spring dragged on far longer than it should have; Seattle didn't even hit 60 last Sunday, and I'm hoping that'll be the last time that happens until October, because frankly, I can't hardly take it anymore. The lack of sun is insanely depressing; this area, as a whole, suffers from a very noticeable, if not serious Vitamin D deficiency. And people seem proud of it, almost. It's weird.

I recall commenting once that "if you don't like the weather, wait an hour", and getting roasted on here for suggesting that expression was specific to my area.

There's definitely a parallel here: I feel like pretty much the entire country north of, say, the 37th parallel would complain about the lack of sun in their area and be proud to do so, like they're tougher for having endured it or something. Speaking for my part of New York, it does seem like we can go months at a time with extremely limited sunshine, although it's usually November to April, not during the summer.

Honestly the dreary spring has made it even harder to adjust to the summer temperatures, since we were suddenly jolted by them halfway into June. Since I was born and raised here, I'm quite used to the normal weather cycle and never had to really adjust, but there's definitely a learning curve involved for transplants or those who have tasted the forbidden fruit of other climates.

The next week or so is 70s and low 80s, which is just about right. Summer really does start on July 5.

Missoula County was placed under a Severe Thunderstorm Watch for about six hours today and not a single storm was near Missoula AT. ALL! None. All the storms were north, south, and east of Missoula. That forecast for storm risk was an absolute joke. *yawn* Thanks NOAA! Thanks SPC! Thanks NWS Missoula! For nothing! It may as well be raining goats from the land of the great Alans in the Garden City while clear and 73!

I mean, I don't know what you expect. A severe thunderstorm watch just means that conditions are favorable for the development of severe thunderstorms. It doesn't mean they're guaranteed to happen, and it definitely doesn't mean that every square foot in the advisory is going to get them, even if they do form.

As I write this, in my local area it has been full dark for five hours, yet ambient temperature is 76° F with 71% humidity (66° F dewpoint).  This is the kind of weather where the A/C cycles on and off through the night.

There is a difference between a 'Watch' and a 'Warning'.  As Scott said a 'Watch' only means there is a real possibility of something happening based on the given conditions at that time, so "watch" out for it.  And Severe Thunderstorm meets certain conditions like hail of a certain size and/or wind speed exceeding 50 MPH.  Had you experienced either or both condition(s) in or nearby, your city would have been administered a 'Warning', which means the severe is actually present or expected to be present.

Fresno doesn't seem to be in line for smoke from that fire in Yosemite.  Prevailing summer flow along the Sierra tends to bring smoke north, then east.  We're looking at low 80s temperature at Tahoe the next couple days, but if the wind points the smoke in our direction, as it's projected to, that can get miserable fast.  Frustratingly, smoky summers are more and more becoming the norm.

NWS just issued an excessive heat warning for Salt Lake City for the next several days. Starting tomorrow, highs will be around 102-104 and lows 77-80 for probably the next week. We're used to heat here in the inland west, but even by our standards that is miserable. It's not even a true desert dry heat like we're used to, with dewpoints forecast to be in the 40s-50s range. At least it isn't east coast humidity, I suppose?

This all after we dropped to 68 last night, which represented the first time in all of July that we fell below 70.

McAllen:           109 high (+9),  78 low (-1)

This Montana heat is brutal. Trying to remotely find some shred of a way to move a tiny shred of cool air into the apartment is nearly impossible. Seems like every time I wage a battle against this heat, I lose. Even with AC (if I had one in the apartment, which I don't due to it being too costly for my own budget), I still lose.

Oh no. I was in the upper Midwest over the weekend (Winnipeg area and northern ND) and the heat was terrible, much worse that I ever remember it being in that area. Usually the humidity is much lower there so the heat is more bearable, but this time temps were over 90F and the humidity was worse than it is here (and it's bad here thanks to the Great Lakes).

Despite the brief reprieve on Monday with the breeze, that was all there was in terms of brief comfort. 88 may not be as hot as, say, 95 in the next few days.

Between 7/20 to 7/28, Weather Underground has forecast highs in the upper 90's. Next Thursday looks to be the hot spot at 97. I'm hoping no bonehead decides to go hit the boonies and stupidly leave their campfires unattended or toss still-burning cigarettes onto a patch of dry grass along the verge of the highway. Hopefully no dry lightning, either. I think so far, the extra snowpack on some of the peaks have abated some fire danger.

Typical summer in South Texas; nothing even remotely close to extreme for us:

Alice:               101 high (+2), 76 low (on point)
Corpus Christi:  97 high (+1),  81 low (on point)
Kingsville:        99 high (+2),   77 low (-1)
Laredo:            106 high (+2), 80 low (-1).

Temperatures are right around normal for this time of the year.

The weather is normal for late July, sunny with a high around 80, but today is apparently the start of smoke season.  Air quality is awful as the "Oak Fire" along CA 140 near Mariposa, about 100 miles south of here, is pumping it out and sending it this way.

Walking down the street coming back from dinner was some of the best-feeling air I've felt in years–probably because I haven't felt air this cool in July since our Baltic Sea cruise in July 2007.

One of my favorite things about San Fran was how it could get so hot during the day and cool off so much at night. It was surprising how many people don't have AC, but you'd only really need it for a few hours in the afternoon/evening, and you might as well be outside during that time if you can.

While the day-night temperature difference here (northeastern Massachusetts) is significantly less than the national average, it almost always feels fine after 9 PM. There was an exception a few days ago. However, it's usually humid in the morning; I've been uncomfortable walking at 72° at 9 AM.

I don't know when this area is going to learn it's lesson. Last year was quite a good indication that it can, does, and will continue to get hotter. Everyone in the Seattle region needs to accept it: there is no substitute for a proper AC.

Maybe, back in the day, it wasn't necessary. But AC was also not as easy or cheap to install back then. So of course we found reasons to justify alternative cooling methods. But things have changed; the climate foremost, but also ease of access to proper cooling methods.

Indeed, I think there is a tendency to underestimate what A/C can do in terms of dehumidification, which will become even more important as the frequency of wet-bulb heat waves increases with climate change.

This said, my Eastside friend who would like central A/C reports that her house would need upgrades not just to the electrical panel but also the drop from the electric company in order to accommodate the added load.  I suspect many others in the Seattle metro are similarly positioned.

My windows slide horizontally, so a normal window AC won't fare well. My HOA won't allow for a heat pump or most forms of central AC and I'm not equipped to sue them for the right to do so. On top of that, I live with someone who gets ill from AC use, so I've got no support for it.

I'm tired of living in climate swings. I was born and raised in a temperate climate and I have had enough experience traveling to areas with other climates to know that I would be miserable living there. I'll suck it up and use a wasteful portable unit in my bedroom and help contribute to the worsening problem on top of adding a few bucks to my electricity bill.

With still two months left of summer:

Laredo averages 72 days of triple-digits highs per year; to date it has already seen 75 days of 100+ degrees days this year (including 57 consecutive days to date; last day it failed to reach 100 degrees was around Memorial weekend).

Alice averages 44 days of triple-digits highs per year; it has already seen 54 days of that so far this year.

Kingsville averages 26 days of triple-digits per year; already 29 days so far this year.

McAllen averages 60 days of triple-digits per year; already 62 days so far this year.

A warmer than average spring contributed to being way ahead of schedule.

Coming from somewhere where every single public building and home has AC, the notion that someone could get ill from AC use sounds fantastical. Has this person actually been diagnosed with this condition by a doctor, or is it something they've convinced themselves of?

A HOA banning a heat pump or central AC sounds certifiably insane. Short of suing the HOA, I would imagine you could probably go around on a hot enough day and get enough of your neighbors to create a Change The Bylaws Or Else faction to ruin the HOA president's day at the next meeting.

FWIW, A/C that is used infrequently and not maintained well can trigger mold allergies.

I've personally never noticed an off smell inside the house or had sneezing fits that I couldn't otherwise attribute to living in a top-ten city for pollen allergies.  However, in this Cfa climate there is pretty much no day from roughly early May to late September that isn't warm enough to force the A/C to cycle on at least once, especially when solar gain is taken into account, and pretty much everyone expects to replace HVAC filters once every two months.  Seattle and environs are Csb (though some argue Cfb), and summers are still cooler, even with recent warming trends.  I can easily see someone who grew up in the Pacific Northwest (especially when it was cooler than now) reaching for mold-related problems as an excuse not to have A/C, whether or not that is the real reason.

In terms of efficiency more generally, houses around here that were built when central A/C became common--roughly in the mid-1960's--typically have storm windows so that there are two layers of glass between inside and outside.  This gave way to double glazing in the late 1970's, and triple glazing is now the norm in current new home construction.  In older buildings (not in the US) subject to historic preservation requirements, I have seen clear plastic screens retrofitted to existing single-pane windows.  Upgrading existing double glazing to triple or even quadruple glazing tends to be a tough sell here--it's astonishing how much of a home's value is locked up in its exterior glass.

The local average high is 84°F this time of year; this is the highest it gets. It has been hotter than that every day since July 11 (inclusive) with the exception of July 18 and July 26, and the 10-day forecast (last day August 5) shows every day being above the average. That's 25 out of 27, and possibly more since I can't see past August 5.

This is in stark contrast to last July, which had a whole bunch of 70s temperatures due to rain.

Very similar story in the Houston area. Last year summer was pretty mild due to a lot of rain (I recall it not hitting 90 until mid-June), but this year has been a lot hotter. Most days are averaging 93-95, but we have seen a couple days around 100 in my exurb, which doesn't happen all the time.

The overall weather pattern so far this year in Texas has supported high pressure and suppressed rain, which is part of the reason it's been so hot. It did rain a bit yesterday, but rain has been coming on a monthly basis as of late rather than a weekly basis, which isn't very cool. I saw a satellite picture comparing Texas this July to last July, and the difference is stark. Last year everything was green. This year it's all brown and dry.

That's correct! I do have box fans now so it's helping somewhat. Got a bit of a sprinkler over my area right now that will help notch the heat down a bit. By the upcoming weekend, it's dialing back to the upper 80's so I'm okay with that. Just need a stronger low pressure system to break this heat up. Weather Underground has my area with a slight chance of rain in a 6 hour period, which, 'ya know, any drip of moisture helps A LOT! Being stuck in the upper 90's to low 100's for almost a month tends to really drag. The only thing I don't have to deal with is the humidity mixed with the heat. If I was in jgb's neighborhood, it'd probably wouldn't be as enjoyable of a day there because I'd end up like I was in a sauna with a humidifier!

And meanwhile I can't imagine living in a place where 90's F is considered reasonable! :-D

On a side note, my summer trips as a kid down south (SC/FL) have skewed my perception of Fahrenheit. I was used to seeing high 80's/low 90's F on those trips, and therefore thought those were comparable to upper 20's C, but even 80 F is 26.7 C (a bit hot) and 90 F is 32.2 C (really hot for me)! It really puts into perspective how extreme 100's F is.



The weather in Kitchener is currently a comfortable 22 C (72 F) and partly cloudy. Tomorrow warms up to high of 29 C (85 F) with a thunderstorm expected on Thursday. A pretty typical summer week here.

I got an alert at 5:45pm for a tornado warning. There's a very dark cloud toward the north! As of now, it looks like Kitchener might be just south enough to avoid the heart of the storm.

Slightly above normal for early August.  Since the vast majority of posters on here seem to be well aware of these towns, there is no need to explain their locations:

Alice:               104 high (+4),   77 low (on point)
Corpus Christi:   99 high (+2),   84 low (+2)
Premont:          105 high (+4),  78 low (+1)
Kingsville:        102 high (+3),   78 low (on point)
Laredo:            111 high (+7),   81 low (+1)

(Numbers in parenthesis represent departure from normal)

Dew point and Heat Index numbers are also typical for August.  Dew points remain in the low 70s along the Rio Grande, and upper 70s to near 80 degrees along the coast.  Heat Index remain in the 110s (could be approaching 120 degrees again in a couple of locations).

------------------------------------------

Of the daily record highs in July 2022, one location in Texas, one in Nevada, one in Arizona, and the remaining 28 locations in California; the average of the daily records was 118 degrees.  The hottest day last month was 125 degrees somewhere in Death Valley N.P.

Today will get up to 99. After that, we'll mostly be in the 80s, which is good.

I saw something on a TV in a restaurant that my local area has seen 16+ 90° days this year, which is more than going 30 miles in any direction except possibly north. I believe it said Lawrence 16, Logan Airport 11, Worcester 2 (!), Needham 15, and somewhere around Plymouth 11. (I'm sure of the numbers but not the last two locations.) This means that I'm in a localized hot spot.

Since my weather is two days behind Chicago, that means theoretically I'm six days behind the West Coast. However, my forecast shows 80s. Maybe because my latitude is between 42°N and 43°N while you're between 47°N and 48°N?

Chicago and the Boston area are close enough that the weather usually tracks pretty closely, but that's not necessarily the case across the whole continent, especially from one side of the Rockies to the other.

Level 2 drought (out of 4). Go 100 miles in almost any direction and it decreases to level 1. Almost none of the Eastern Time zone outside the Boston area is as bad as we are.

Texas, Nevada (including Las Vegas), and California have significant portions with level 4, though, and Utah is almost entirely in 3 (Ogden excepted, at 2).

Note that it's none, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4; even 0 is dry.

Since it's Thursday, the drought map has updated. The Boston area is now in a level 3 drought, including all of Rhode Island but excluding Worcester (2 in Worcester and to the west, but 3 to the north and south), New Hampshire (2 for the parts near Massachusetts), and Cape Cod (2). Note that level 2 is still quite significant. I still see people watering their lawns.

There was a small amount of rain yesterday night, but there's no rain in the forecast ahead until Monday.

DFW, San Antonio, and Fresno still appear to be in 4, the worst category.

Bone dry with 92. This has been a very scary trend in Missoula lately. If you look at how low the rivers are, they are THIN! All that runoff water from this winter fizzled out by mid-July and since we've hit high 90's and low 100's on a constant basis with zero moisture, that scares me. It's too reminiscent of several other Montana summers like this one. I think a godly downpour is in store for Montana 'cause it needs it BAAAD!

Well Saturday was humid enough to cancel a basketball game (https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/34433903/lebron-james-jayson-tatum-dazzle-crowd-seattle-pro-gets-cut-short) due to condensation on the court. Dew point was around 70F the night before.

It's probably the risk of thunderstorms moreso than the rain being 100% likely. The forecast here was predicting thunderstorms, but what actually happened was light rain this morning, then partial sunshine for most of the day, then a spotty downpour this afternoon, and clearing again this evening.

Quote
The rainfall in some areas qualifies as a 1-in-1,000-year flood, which means that in any given year it has a 0.1% chance of happening. Such extreme precipitation is expected to occur more frequently as the effects of climate change worsen.

The east side of Dallas received 13 to 15 inches of rainfall over the past 24 hours, according to a reading from Dallas Water Utilities. Most of the Dallas-Fort Worth area recorded 6 to 10 inches of rainfall.

The National Weather Service has issued a flood watch for North Texas through 8 p.m. CDT Monday, and for Central Texas through 7 p.m. CDT. Flooding is beginning to recede in North Texas, and the heaviest rainfall is shifting into Central Texas. Meteorologists are forecasting additional rainfall of nearly 2 to 5 inches as the storm system moves south.

Dallas emergency management officials are reporting high water over many roadways and are advising residents in the area against travel.

The flash floods, which in some cases are considered life-threatening, have prompted rescue efforts. The Dallas Fire Department alone has responded to hundreds of car crashes and other water-related emergencies since 6 p.m. Sunday.

Wow, and I thought the rain was bad in Toronto yesterday (that was only 100mm or 4"). I was on the 407 and it went from no rain to a hard downpour that was even faster than my wipers set on high! It's the first time I saw no one speeding on the 407. :sombrero:

For today's weather, it's currently 24 C (76 F) and cloudy. We had a thunderstorm a few hours ago with some brief, intense rain, but it's stopped now and the clouds should clear up overnight.

Soooooo refreshing after, what, 70 or 80 days approximately of dry heat in Missoula. I. Love it! 71 and partial sun and clouds after a very brief rain period. However, the 10-day shows it ain't over yet. This may be the last few days of mid 80's-low 90's that we get until it dials back a touch heading into September. I peeked at timeanddate.com's extended outlook going into September 9th. Starting Sunday, the 4th, the highs will drop to the upper 80's, lower down to the 70's by Wednesday and Thursday, which is 9/7 and 8 and sort of flux a ways after the 9th.

Yesterday I did not, but I did wear a regular dress shirt and I arrived a sweaty mess. Because I was there before anyone else, I hung up my dress shirt in the closet for 40 minutes to dry it out. Today I'm going to wear a T-shirt and slacks (I didn't bring shorts) and change into business attire when I get there. It's like an oven in the subway stations, too.

At 93 in Missoula right now, the summer sizzle isn't over yet. It's clinging on for about a few more days before a drop into the 70's by September 9th. But, timeanddate.com threw a curveball in their 2-week outlook showing September 7th's projected high of 105.

Today is sunny and will reach a hot 28C/83F. The Labour Day weekend forecast is a mixed-bag. Saturday is again hot (high of 30C/86F) with a chance of a thunderstorm in the afternoon. Sunday is cooler with a high of 20C/68F and overcast with light rain. Monday seems to be slightly warmer (23C/73F), but one source says light rain and overcast while the other says sunny (I'll hope for the latter).

Very mild temperatures due to the overcast skies and lots of rain from the tropical moisture from the Gulf. 

Normally for Labor Day, our highs are in the mid 90s to near 100 degrees.  But with the cloudy/rainy conditions, actual highs only peaked in the upper 80s to mid 90s which puts us several degrees below average.  The good news is that the dew points are still consistent in the mid 70s to around 80 degrees, so the heat index remains in the 105 to 110 range.

I'm trying to enjoy summer weather while I can; I'm still not ready for winter yet.

It's currently 90 degrees at the South Lake Tahoe airport.  I believe September 6 is the latest date it has ever hit 90 here.  Some years we never get a 90 at all.  Nobody has air conditioning...well, probably Zuckerberg does.

By the end of September we get at least a light dusting of snow more often than not, maybe even a few inches up on the mountains.

No it won't. The divider for NWS climate reporting at stations like the ones at most airports is midnight LST (local standard time), which means 1 AM if daylight savings is in effect.

A lot of the TV weather people in Salt Lake City made a similar error yesterday (reported 106, high was actually 105), and it's because of the way the 5-minute station data gets processed. The sensor measures a temperature, which gets rounded to the nearest full degree Celsius for data transmission. Then when you look at the data online, that gets converted directly into Fahrenheit, and then rounded to the nearest degree F again.

Say the actual temperature in Fresno is exactly 114ºF (45.56ºC). That gets rounded to 46ºC for the 5-minute observation data. Then when you load the data on your own, that value is converted to Fahrenheit (114.8ºF) and then rounded for display (in this case, up to 115ºF).

2: Lowell/Lawrence/Haverhill MA, Worcester MA, Taunton MA, most of Cape Cod, Manchester NH, Nashua NH, Portsmouth NH, Portland ME, Keene NH, Martha's Vineyard MA, Amherst MA, Hartford CT, Manhattan and all of Long Island
1: Providence RI, Plymouth MA, Kittery ME, Concord NH, eastern half of Connecticut, Nantucket MA, Springfield MA, most areas surrounding Hartford CT
0 (0 is not off the map; it's none-0-1-2-3-4): York ME, northern half of NH

For the rest of the country, the only populated areas in 4 appear to be the Central Valley of California and a tiny dot in San Antonio. There's no background map, so I can't tell if Bend OR is included, but Bend isn't that major. Almost all of California is in 2+, though, with San Diego (1) being the main exception.

Smoky today around Western Washington. For the first time in months, I've brought in the AC vents and closed off my windows. It's a little muggy in here, but it beats breathing in smoke.

70s and sunny otherwise, with the smoke seemingly limiting the temperature. No rain in the forecast apart from a chance of storms next week. Mid 90s tomorrow.

You don't need to post every single day (you've done 12 in a row), especially with typical weather. Most of the posts here are about extreme highs, extreme lows, returns to normal after these extreme temperatures, or rain/storms/tornadoes. My posting recently has been a bit different, usually about drought or weather patterns over time (e.g. comparing webny99's weather with mine with a one-day offset), but it's still not "76 and sunny"-style.

I agree with this, but note the official moderator position (https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=17397.msg2300457#msg2300457) that (paraphrasing) it's OK to post frequently, since it is answering the question asked.

Also, it's less egregious to post frequent updates when others are participating in the thread. If you're the only one that has posted to the thread for three or more days in a row, I think it's fair to conclude that another update could be saved for later, or if/when something out of the ordinary occurs.

I can tell fall is starting since the lows are getting much cooler. Today is a comfortable high of 19C/66F and partly cloudy, but the low will drop to a cool 9C/48F. That's nice for opening the window before bed to cool down the room. It looks like tomorrow and the weekend will be more summer-like weather with highs around 27-28C / 81-82 F, maybe the last-such weekend of the year? (we'll see).

Currently 95°F, forecast high of 97°F.

^ How in the world does your area go from a high in the 90s today to a high in the 60s tomorrow then back to 90 again this weekend?  Going from warm to cold to warm again is how people get sick.


Here in Corpus Christi....mid-90s high and around 80 low, and fortunately remaining consistently like that for the next week or so.

Other locations in my area:  Slightly above normal out west going towards Laredo, otherwise typical September weather.


Alice:          96 high (+3);  72 low (-1)
Freer:         98 high (+5);  70 low (-1)
Kingsville:   96 high (+4);  73 low (+1)
Laredo:      101 high (+6); 76 low (+3)
Premont:     94 high (+2);  72 low (+1)
Robstown:   96 high (+4);  74 low (+2)

The tropical conditions in the Gulf of Mexico are keeping our dew points in the 70s, which means Heat Index hovering around 100 degrees at peak hours in the afternoon and in the 80s during the overnight hours.

And yep, it's currently 54°F and damp, having rained for the last couple of hours.  The forecast high today is 62°F, and tonight's low 53°F.  Saturday is still forecast to get up to 92°F with sunny skies.

Today is an interesting day where the temperature is staying around 11-12 C (52-54 F) for all of my working hours (8am-5pm). It's mostly cloudy and windy, with gusts around 47 km/h (29 mph). Tonight is dropping down to 2 C (36 F), which will make a for cold start tomorrow morning now that I'm working outside.

I'm amazed at people who are amazed at weather that, you know, changes.


Weather changes happen a lot here too -- hour by hour.  You know sunny skies at the 3 PM hour, then a full-fledged severe thunderstorm springs up in the 4 PM hour, then partly cloudy in the 5 PM hour all in the same afternoon, which happens pretty much anywhere between the Rockies and the Appalachians.  What I am amazed at is not as much the temperature swings from one day to the next, but it happening in September, when it's fresh off the summer season.  We see it all the time during the other three seasons.  That infamous saying "If you don't like the weather....." isn't particular for any one state or locality, it applies to half-the country.

According to the forecast, today might be the last of the upper-90s weather.  Finally.  One can only hope.

Currently 95°F, forecast high of 97°F.

Tomorrow, rain with a high of 63°F.

Saturday's forecast gets into the 90s, but only 93°F.  Whatever.  The rest of the week shows 80s.

^ How in the world does your area go from a high in the 90s today to a high in the 60s tomorrow then back to 90 again this weekend?  Going from warm to cold to warm again is how people get sick.

It's called actually having weather.

:clap:  Yes, thank you!  I'm amazed at people who are amazed at weather that, you know, changes.

And yep, it's currently 54°F and damp, having rained for the last couple of hours.  The forecast high today is 62°F, and tonight's low 53°F.  Saturday is still forecast to get up to 92°F with sunny skies.



ETA:  Also, germs are how people get sick.

Daytime in the low 90s along the Gulf coast and around 100 degrees heading out west towards Laredo.  Nighttime ranging from low 70s to around 80 degrees along the islands.  Another round of thunderstorms expected tomorrow as more tropical moisture continue to pour into the Texas coast from the Gulf of Mexico.  Then our first cold front tomorrow night will cool us down for Wednesday.

I'd bet that is likely a result of elevation. Oklahoma City and Norman are at the eastern edge of the High Plains, at a surprisingly high 1200 feet above sea level. Tulsa is only 700 feet above sea level thanks to its location further east right on the Arkansas River.

Interestingly, that makes Oklahoma City the third-highest state capital outside the mountain states - behind only Bismarck and Pierre.

So far this year Laredo, Texas has seen:

-- 198 days of 90+ highs (average annual is 176 days; record highest in a year 223 days)
-- 101 days of 100+ highs (average annual is 72 days; record highest in a year 146 days)
-- Seven days of 110+ highs (average annual is 6 days; record highest in a year 14 days)

With still nearly a quarter-year left of 2022, the number of days in the 90s will keep increasing; assuming law of averages hold for October and November, Laredo could come very close to matching its record of 223 days of 90+ days in a single calendar year.  And still possible for the number of triple-digit highs could increase though not by a lot.

----------------------------------

Of the daily record highs last month (September 2022), two days occurred in Arizona, 19 days in California, two days in Nevada, one day in Oklahoma, and six days in Texas.  The average of the daily highs over the last month was 111 degrees, the highest of which was in Death Valley which recorded 125 degrees on September 8.

Mid-40s and rainy again when I got up at 7:00. The forecast today is for a record low high temperature here–the record at Reagan Airport for this date is 56° and the forecast high is 54° and rainy. Supposed to go back up to the 70s for the latter half of the week, so we aren't turning on the heat as it's still 67° in the house. Feels raw, though. Sweatshirt weather.

AQI is over 150 in much of the Seattle area once again. Not much relief to be found in the Puget Sound region.

Temperature is being kept down by the smoke, but we are still 15+ degrees over normal highs for early October. No rain in the forecast.

Still remaining fairly warm for this time of the year being several degrees above normal:

Brownsville:      94 high (+4); 80 low (+9)
Corpus Christi:  95 high (+7); 79 low (+6)
Laredo:            97 high (+5); 75 low (+7)
McAllen:           98 high (+7); 76 low (+5)

As indicated above, temperatures are as much as nine degrees above average; a couple of locations nearing 100 degrees.  Dew points in the 70s makes the heat index hover in the 105-110 range.  Normally South Texas averages low 90s days and around 70 degrees nights this time of the year.

Laredo:            100 high (+10); 75 low (+9)
McAllen:           101 high (+12); 76 low (+8)

The continuing loads of tropical moisture from the Gulf will keep the heat index remaining in the triple-digits all over South Texas; some locations could again hover in the 110-115 degrees range.

Weather-wise: Tokyo was more like Seattle temperature-wise, but Okinawa is beautiful. Much warmer, more humid too. But also some rain, passing through kind of randomly.

Weather-wise: Tokyo was more like Seattle temperature-wise, but Okinawa is beautiful. Much warmer, more humid too. But also some rain, passing through kind of randomly.

I've heard from a few friends who lived in Tokyo off-and-on that the summers there are brutally humid. Looks like you got lucky while visiting there.

I've definitely heard the same. Still very much warm and humid in Okinawa, but Tokyo is a bit more dry this time of year. I'll be back in December for a couple days, I'm sure it'll be quite cold.

Usually, if it's smoky in Wichita, it's because of controlled range burning.  However, today it's coming from a pallet recycler 1½ miles from my office.  Some stacks of wooden skids and wood chips caught fire at about 7 pm last night, and it's still going.  Fire crews worked overnight from both ends of the fire to keep it under control, and their plan is to just let it burn itself out.

Other than that, it's gorgeous here.  Currently in the low-mid 60s with lots of sun, forecast high of 73°F.  Temps for trick-or-treating should be in the low 60s.  With this weather, I expect the streets to be packed with trick-or-treaters in neighborhoods where it's a popular thing.

Rain showers all day.

To give you an idea how welcome the rain is, consider this:  since the end of June, I only mowed my yard three times, and the most recent time I didn't even bother doing the back.  For all of July—October, we only received 3.55 inches of precipitation;  they're forecasting at least an inch today.

Yep, it's been unseasonably warm for this time of year. Next week looks nice to with expected dry weather until Friday and highs in the 10-17 C range (50-63 F). It's a good opportunity for concrete and asphalt on my construction site.

Supposedly, there was a bit of snow overnight.  But the ground is still so warm, and it was so wet from the rain all day yesterday, that none stuck.  This week, it's supposed to be cooler, but high temps are still forecast to be in the 61—72 range.  It's only from Thursday on that the temps are supposed to drop in more earnest (which should still be somewhat pleasant fall weather).  With how long the summer heat lasted, I was worried we wouldn't have much fall weather before winter came, but it appears we're getting a nice step-down this year.  Unfortunately, the drought has meant that a lot of the beautiful fall-colored trees have instead become various shades of brown.

It's currently sunny, in the low 40s.

It has been decently dry in Okinawa lately. Only a couple showers the last week. Humidity hasn't been as brutal either, although at this moment (8:41pm, Monday 7 Nov) it's 72 F, 85% humidity and a dew point of 67 F. So...still humid! Cloudy tomorrow and then off/on thunderstorms for the next week.

I'm about to go run in a downpour, at least it's warm at 55F.  Apparently Fresno has .50 inches in the forecast today and tomorrow.  Usually I go for a 13.1 mile run on Monday.  I'm hoping for 8 miles, from what I'm hearing out the window I might have to accept 5 miles.

Edit:  The rain eased up a lot by mile 3 and didn't pick up again until mile 11.  I was largely on asphalt the last couple miles so I went for my normal run and ended up at 13.34 miles.

Started off with breezy winds today, then transitioning into flurries, which started around 11:00 Mountain this morning, then tapered off by 4:00 this afternoon, now I'm sitting at 25 with patchy clouds, but the roads are already a mess. As you know, with any mountainous state like Montana, once the temperature drops below 32, all that slush goes to ice by 6:00 in the evening as the sun sets. Then, overnight, it gets hard. Not a good time to be catting around like it's still summer because, after all, where I am, those Hellgate Canyon winds start to rock and roll when snow storms like this roll into town. Had a couple windstorms the other day like what Bruce had, and my power was blipped off Friday night last week at 8:15 (or 7:15 PM MST), but the real shocker was that next door, they still had power and I could see the flood light from my bedroom window which was very eerie because the front side was pitch black. It was out for about a half hour before power was restored at sometime between 8:30 to 8:45 (or 7:30 to 7:45 MST).

Well, first winter storm of 2022/23 is coming full circle very early in the late night into Wednesday night, which will definitely make the roads in and out of Missoula slick with blowing and drifting snow in play. This is not gonna be pretty.
QuoteWINTER STORM WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 1 AM TO 8 PM MST
WEDNESDAY...

* WHAT...Heavy snow expected. Total snow accumulations of 2 to 5
inches in Missoula proper, 5 to 8 inches in the Bitterroot
Valley. North winds 15 to 25 mph in the Bitterroot Valley will
cause blowing snow reducing visibility to less than one quarter
mile at times. Winds are expected to slowly diminish in the
afternoon.

* WHERE...Missoula/Bitterroot Valleys.

* WHEN...From 1 AM to 8 PM MST Wednesday.

* IMPACTS...Travel could be very difficult.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

If you must travel, keep an extra flashlight, food, and water in
your vehicle in case of an emergency.

The latest road conditions for the state you are calling from can
be obtained by calling 5 1 1.

Tropical storm warning for me here in Tallahassee with Nicole currently bearing down on the Florida east coast. Unlike Ian, which shifted so far east that we got nothing at all here, every forecast update seems to bring the storm further west and thus more impacts to here. As of now, winds around 30-40mph and gusts potentially nearing 60mph are expected here along with 2-4 inches of rain.

I saw some forecasts for this early week storm that had 24"-36" of snow at lake level at South Lake Tahoe.  That didn't quite happen.  I don't usually do any formal measurement, just guess by the amount of shoveling and snowblowing I have to do, but I would say maybe 12"-14" over 60 hours thanks to a final overnight burst that I woke up to this morning.

So the ski resorts have a respectable start, maybe a week or 10 days earlier than the average, and with continued cold weather forecast for the next several days they will be able to add plenty of the man-made stuff on top of what nature brought.

In Laredo, with a high temperature of 92 degrees yesterday, that now makes 224 days of 90+ degrees in the year 2022, which now sets its new record breaking the previous record of 223 days; the annual average in a year is only about 176 days per year.

Corpus Christi has also broken its own record with 186 days of 90+ degrees in 2022, overtaking the previous record of 181 days; average annual is only 144 days.

McAllen also broke its own record with 229 days of 90+ degrees in 2022, breaking the previous record of 226 days; average annual is only 182 days.

With still seven more weeks left to go before the end of this year, those numbers could quite possibly climb just a little bit more as we have seen 90+ degrees in December before; indeed Brownsville and McAllen averages at least day in the 90s every December.

Gonna get brisk this weekend in Missoula! It's 26 under patchy clouds. The Air Stagnation Advisory was lifted a while ago. It was put up on Monday, I think, due to stale air toward the surface and that can make the air much more colder standing still than moving around. Of course, cold is cold, no matter which way it is. So, just to give you an idea of how cold it will get, Weather Underground has Thursday through Saturday between single digits to low teens. Wind chills will be around single digits to low single digits below zero, that is unless we pick up more wind, then they start tumbling to the twenties blow zero average. So it won't be as cold tonight since it'll be 19. Starting Thursday night, it'll drop to 4, then 2 on Friday night, 8 Saturday night and 15 Sunday night. Now, contrast it to timeanddate.com's projected lows for those four days: Thursday - 5, Friday - -3, Saturday - -2 and Sunday - 2. Car batteries HATE this cold, so I'd have to keep the juices flowing in the Sonata so I don't have to resort to jumping it like I did last weekend.

Just another dusting this morning for the third time this week. So far, it's not been enough to cause travel disruptions or even really stick to the roads. That isn't unusual, since we usually only get the leftovers from the Lake Erie machine.

Pretty much the same temperature everyday here in Okinawa: low 70s in the morning, high 70s in the afternoon. Today is fantastically sunny so far (it's a little before 0800 Friday).

One thing I've noticed is the humidity requires some trickery in the car. You can't just hop in and blast the AC. With the humidity and differential in temperature, having the glass too cold results in the windows fogging up very quickly. So I usually keep the temperature in the car a little warmer than I normally would, and keep the recycle on. This combo seems to prevent fogging.

Those of you in really warm and humid places may already be used to this, but it's new to me, being from a place where it's normally humid only when it's below 70 ish. Though the opposite occurs in the winter (too warm in the car compared to outside) and you get condensation on the inside, which is arguably more annoying actually.

Heh, I had to get used to that when I moved to Tallahassee. For that to happen, the dewpoint outside has to be greater than the temperature inside the car, which typically means a dewpoint in the mid-70s. That was unheard of in Salt Lake City where I grew up, and fairly rare in Atlanta where I lived for a while, but it's a pretty regular occurrence down here in the summer.

Agreed that the winter scenario of condensation on the inside (higher dewpoint inside than temperature outside) is more annoying. With fog on the inside, you can't use your wipers to help get rid of it.

Oklahomans use the defroster for fog on the inside. (My dad, in fact, calls it the "defogger" instead of the "defroster"). Usually takes care of it within a minute or so. I also keep a microfiber towel around for if I'm too impatient to wait and want to wipe away the fog around my field of vision until the defroster kicks in.

The cold snap in Missoula is beginning already. 13 and mainly clear. Gonna get very cold overnight with wind chills in single digits below zero. It appears to linger on to Sunday night with Weather Underground showing a low of 11. Then it'll get back to some semblance of normalcy with yet another wintery system coming down the pike in the next few days heading into next Tuesday and Wednesday with evening snow showers in play.

I think we all do that, but I've been in plenty of situations where its effectiveness was...limited at best.

Thanks, I was thinking there was a more technical explanation in there somewhere. I park under cover, so it's not usually hot in my car. But the dew point here is around 72-75, which definitely explains the exterior fog.

I don't see how that would help matters in the winter. If you're getting interior condensation in winter, it's because the outside temperature is making the windshield too cold to support the amount of moisture in the inside air, so you want to warm up the windshield. Since most situations where this occurs involve an outside temperature below what your car's climate control can produce, in theory any air from your defroster should be sufficient to eliminate the condensation. But warmer certainly doesn't hurt.

On the other hand, setting your defroster on cold is definitely going to make the problem worse for exterior condensation in the summer. In that scenario, the whole problem is that the inside is too cold for the amount of moisture in the air outside. Cooling your windshield with the defroster is the exact opposite of what you want to be doing.

That's what I thought.  I'm just remembering driving to her parents' place on a cold, foggy night in December and her not letting me put the defroster in our rental car on warm.  (It was the same trip where we flew from Seattle to Pasco and didn't get water.)

I've started using a windshield cover because my house blocks sunlight that would otherwise be able to melt some of the frost buildup on my car. Makes life a bit easier, though I still have to scrape the sides and back.

While parts of the north and Canada would call this summer weather; we here in South Texas call this November weather:

Brownsville:       80 high (+1);  65 low (+4)
Corpus Christi:   77 high (+1);  66 low (+6)
Laredo:             75 high (-3);   61 low (+4)
McAllen:            78 high (-1);   63 low (+4)

Heat Index on Thanksgiving Day could range from 80 to 85 degrees in several places.  Average for this time of the year is upper 70s to near 80 degrees daytime, and upper 50s to low 60s nighttime.

Fun fact:  the all-time warmest Thanksgiving on record in my hometown of Corpus Christi is 96 degrees.

Sitting at 21 under fair skies in Missoula. It has stayed above zero overnight the last couple of days, but, I look on Weather Underground, and what do 'ya know? Another cold snap is about to hit Missoula beginning Sunday night with a low of 13. Heading into early December, between Thursday the 1st and Saturday the 3rd, lows will dip between one below to five below zero. That could change over time, but that's still cold

Yes, some.  When the engine is not yet warm, the air coming out will be cold no matter what.  Cold, damp air from outside won't pick up much if any of the condensation off the windshield.  The air coming out of the air conditioner will at least be dry and so can pick up some of the condensation on the windshield.  But once the engine is warmed up you should be getting warm enough air that the heat can pick up the condensation also and reduce the further condensation.

Clear as mud?

I wonder if Elsmere241's wife's reasoning has to do with restrictions specific to a particular model.  There is actually a fair amount of variation in how vehicles accommodate defogging when the engine is cold and ambient temperatures are frigid.

Many vehicles allow the defogger to be run with heat cranked to maximum and the A/C running for dehumidification.  But by design, others prohibit operation of the A/C for any reason--even dehumidification when the defogger is active--below a certain temperature.  It may be that Elsmere241's wife's car is designed not to allow the A/C to run for dehumidification unless the temperature slider is set to maximum cold.

Thus, while I personally would resist setting a slider all the way to cold when running the defogger, I wouldn't say a person was crazy for doing so unless I delved into the details of how that person's car is designed to operate.  There's nothing more irritating than being told how to run your defogger when you've studied not just the owner's manual, but also the factory service manual, and know that the generic instructions you are being given just don't work for your vehicle.

Snow here too.  Sticking on car roofs and roofs of unheated buildings, and a little bit on bushes and grass.  Not on pavement yet.

Near-tropical conditions return to South Texas:

Brownsville:      88 high (+10);  72 low (+13)
Corpus Christi:  88 high (+13);  68 low (+10)
Laredo:             88 high (+12);  66 low (+11)
McAllen:            90 high (+13);  70 low (+13)

Easterly winds from the Gulf of Mexico will keep our dew points in the 70s, especially along the coastal areas, so that means heat index will range anywhere from 90 to 100 degrees, but all that juice in the air will fire up some scattered thunderstorms for parts of the area, but because we're too far south to be considered "The South" (whatever the heck that means), we will be spared from the possible severe weather blasts occurring in other states along the gulf coast, particularly in Louisiana and Mississippi.  Not a bad way to end the month of November.

EDIT: Seems to be raining pretty hard right now, but should let up in about an hour. There's also a wind warning today:
QuoteStrong winds today into tonight.
Westerly winds gusting 70 to 80 km/h are expected later this morning into this evening in the wake of strong cold front.
The strongest winds are expected near the eastern shores of the Great Lakes where wind gusts up to 90 km/h may occur.
Winds are expected to ease from west to east later tonight.
Strong winds may toss loose objects and cause tree branches to break. Isolated utility outages may occur.

Reading all other posts from this thread makes me grateful to be from South Texas (or northern Mexico if you wish to call us that), in fact we've been warmer than Cancun (and many other parts of the Caribbean) was the last couple of days.

Brownsville:      86 high (+9);    71 low (+14)
Corpus Christi:  85 high (+11);  71 low (+15)
Laredo:            83 high (+10);   70 low (+17)
McAllen:           87 high (+11);   72 low (+16)

Heat Index will be anywhere from 90 to 100 degrees.  These conditions are expected to persist at least to halfway point of December; should be cooled down to around normal/average by Christmas.

Somehow it's been balmy the last couple of days in Missoula, but, this cold snap is long from over. It's 37 for now, but it will drop to single digits above zero again tonight. Another cold snap will come Friday, then yet another one on Monday lasting into next Friday with a forecast low of -3. If my count is correct, that'll be about six or seven of these cold snaps already for the '22/'23 winter season.

I would characterize it as rare here, too. Not in the state as a whole (valley fog is quite common in the Southern Tier, Central NY, the Hudson Valley, etc), but certainly north of US 20/west of I-81, where we generally get just a handful of days per year of area-wide fog.

I would characterize it as rare here, too. Not in the state as a whole (valley fog is quite common in the Southern Tier, Central NY, the Hudson Valley, etc), but certainly north of US 20/west of I-81, where we generally get just a handful of days per year of area-wide fog.

Currently 50°F and foggy.   :nod:

Snow and 32. But that's not the main story in Missoula. This is:

(https://www.weather.gov/images/mso/WxStory/WeatherStory2.png?758a33025d11ba6ac2837b7f50fc7bc8)

This pretty much sums up this cold snap, and it will be a long one. Where I am, my area is under that 70% bracket, which means that the wind chills could go down to at least 15 to 20 below zero, and even bitterly colder the further east you go past Bearmouth.

Quote from: Environment and Climate Change CanadaFreezing rain beginning this morning.

Hazards: Freezing rain with ice accretion of a few millimetres possible. Snowfall accumulations up to 5 cm.

Timing: Freezing rain this morning transitioning to snow early this afternoon. Snow will taper to flurries or drizzle with a chance of freezing drizzle early this evening.

Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become icy and slippery. There may be a significant impact on rush hour traffic in urban areas.

It's a brewski in Missoula. It's 8 with a wind chill of 2. Brrrrrrrr! There is a forecast low on Wednesday of -21, of which, if it comes to pass at that point, would be the coldest for December and would be five degrees shy of the record low set in 1990 of -25.

Hovering just above and below freezing, which means there could be snow this week but more likely just more annoying frost and ice to deal with.

Post by: Billy F 1988 on December 18, 2022, 04:01:27 PM
With updated models, it is very likely that Wednesday will be right at or close to its 1990 record low of -25. Missoula and points east towards Bearmouth on I-90, Highway 83 from Seeley Lake to Condon, and Highway 200 from East Missoula to Greenough are now under a Winter Storm Watch from Tuesday AM through Wednesday PM where the valleys will end up seeing that polar air seep. Anywhere along that watch area could be seeing -30 or more wind chill readings. Points east of the Continental Divide, I would not be surprised if many reach near or at -50 or more wind chills. The last time it got bitterly cold in that part of Montana, you'd have to go back to February of 1996 with -60 wind chill.

Tonight through Thursday night, I'm gonna be in the midst of this Canadian polar clipper that's dropping lows to double digits below zero, and dangerous wind chills between -40 to -50 while isolated locations in Central and Eastern Montana are experiencing up to around -60 wind chill. It doesn't look like Missoula will break that 1990 record low of -25 on Wednesday, but it is forecast to reach and tie the record. But then, a double whammy of a storm system is heading into Missoula later in the week as rain and snow mix will combine to slicken roads even more along the passes. So, whatever snow came here in the last few days will crust over the next 24 to 48 hours, the roads are already glazing, so, that gives you an idea of what I'm expecting in Missoula over the next couple of days.

Our weather is backwards. It's about 0 right now. It's going to warm up throughout the day and peak in the mid-20s around 2 AM. Then it's going to fall again to around 0 by tomorrow afternoon, during the time it would normally be warming up. Therefore, the weather apps say that today and tomorrow both have highs in the mid-20s, but very few people will be awake to feel those temperatures.

Laredo:            72 high (+3);  50 low (0)

Our power went out at 4:30 AM today.  By the time I left for work at 6:45, the house was already under the legal daycare limit, at 64°F.  By the time the power came back on at 10:00 AM, the indoor temperature had dropped to 59°F–twelve degrees in just under six hours.  At that point, my wife texted me to say "I can make coffee!"

It's currently —5°F here in Park City, with a forecast high of +3°F.  On my way to the office, the roads were halfway clear–if only I could see them through the 25mph blowing snow.  Due to the blowing snow, I ended up going about 35—40 mph on surfaces that I otherwise would have taken at 50—60 mph.

There isn't actually all that much snow:  it just looks like it because of the wind.  But it isn't supposed to get above freezing again until Monday, so ma-a-a-a-aybe there will still be some on the ground on Christmas.  We shall see.

We didn't lose power, though scattered outages have been reported all over Wichita.  Evergy has said generating capacity is adequate, so it has no plans to implement rolling blackouts like it did in February 2021.

Man, it was brutal today. When I began the day, I couldn't crank the car. The battery was just so juiced. My telemetry inside the car read about -19, and I'd estimate the wind chill between the -20 to -35 range with sudden blasts of south winds up to about 35 MPH in Hellgate Canyon. It was so bad, I couldn't stay out for more than five minutes at a time before retreating into the apartment I live in to get warm. By the time my manager picked me up and dropped me off at the store so that I can work my 4 1/2 hour shift, the winds lessened to around 15 to 20 MPH and -15 to -25 wind chills. Now I'm standing at -12 as another snow storm is approaching. The Wind Chill Warning has downgraded to Advisory (expires 11 AM MST Friday) level. I'm looking at up to 5 inches of accumulation according to the Winter Weather Advisory (expires 5 AM MST Saturday).

Currently -14C, snowing and windy! Current wind speed is about 50km/h (31 mph), with gusts of 80 km/h (50 mph). Snowfall totals expected to be 5-15cm (2-6"). The storm should let up Saturday afternoon.

Cool screenshot with various city temperatures shown. It's approx. 20C/36F degrees warmer in Northeastern Ontario than Kentucky!

Freezing rain rolled through and caused everything to shut down (except the train).

Now warming up to 34F (with 48F expected tomorrow), so the slush will hopefully go away.

I'm pretty sanguine about snow still on grass and other surfaces that don't see active snow removal.  The snow is still powdery, though it's starting to clump into slabs.

We had sun part of yesterday and all day today.  An albedo reduction strategy will therefore work as long as paving can be seen underneath whatever snow is left on top, even if temperatures are around zero with 20 MPH winds out of the north.  I shoveled both yesterday and today and the sun melted leftover snow and dried the pavement behind me.

Thanks for making me visualize some of the Christmas tunes in a more cynical sense.... especially that sleigh ride song.

Unfortunately, with holiday travel plans, you often must make them months in advance based upon what the weather should be, but we don't know what the weather will be until only a few days in advance. And, I consider what is currently happening to be a extreme weather event. At least the only snow I saw was on Thursday afternoon was a minor snow flurry with none of it sticking to the ground.

Personally, I think a lot of the demand for Christmas travel comes from people who work jobs with inflexible leave policies and don't realize how frail the air passenger transport system is, especially for journeys that connect through hubs (such as Chicago O'Hare) that are very difficult to expand as required to minimize weather-related delays.

Wichita has a white Christmas this year per the NWS definition (snow on the ground on Christmas morning).  However, shoots of grass are starting to show as the sun continues to work on Thursday's snow.  It is currently 23° F with a forecast high of 33° F, and may go as high as 60° F this coming Thursday.

Regarding my statement above:  Many of my grade school classmates always wished for snow on Christmas while completely oblivious to its treachery until one of them lost a parent (while driving on snow) in a multi-car pileup during the once-in-a-lifetime Christmas 2004 Winter Storm event when Corpus Christi got their first snow since 1941 and second since 1895.  My city received a record-obliterating 3.8 inches of snow on the night of Christmas Eve 2004 when the moisture-saturated air from the Gulf of Mexico dipped slightly below freezing.  It was their most heart-breaking Christmas ever and since then they hoped it would be the city's last snowfall in our lifetime; there were many injuries and several fatalities on the road that night.

I had a White Christmas in Salt Lake City going by the official NWS definition. Haven't had that in several years. It actually has not snowed more than a dusting since the 15th, but that was at the tail end of a very impressive storm cycle that dropped a foot of snow in the valley over a period of several days. Snow depth maxed out at 7 inches, but the past couple weeks have been so cold that it has been very slow to melt. 2 inches remained on Christmas morning.

Now if Christmas were the 27th, it would be quite a different situation. After two weeks of subfreezing or barely-above-freezing highs, the high on Christmas Day itself was 43 and we got up to 47 today. Pretty much everything in the lower valleys has now melted.

Something similar happened a couple years back, where there was a ton of snow on the ground from a previous storm...but on the 23rd, a warm wet storm came through and the rain melted it all off.

Buffalo once again got hammered with several feet of snow and several days of blizzard conditions, while 80 miles east we got hardly more than a dusting. Conditions were poor on Friday with light snow and heavy winds, but it was nothing like the Buffalo area.

We're used to large disparities in lake effect snowfall, but I'm still not sure there's ever been such great disparity in conditions between two cities so close to each other.

34°F with rain changing over to wet snow.  It looks like we will be back and forth between rain and snow at 6500' for the next several days.  There should be loads of wet Sierra cement falling on the ski slopes and reservoir-feeding mountains.

After nearly a week of downright frigid cold conditions, we're thankfully back to comfortable weather again for the remainder of the 2022.

Brownsville:      82 high (+9);   66 low (+13)
Corpus Christi:  81 high (+12); 63 low (+11)
Laredo:            80 high (+12);  61 low (+12)
McAllen:           86 high (+13);  65 low (+12)

And it's expected to be even warmer than this at the first couple days of 2023....highs approaching 90 degrees in several places; a few places might exceed 90 degrees.

The Keweenaw Peninsula typically gets more snow than anywhere else in Michigan (or Wisconsin for that matter). One of my cousins went to Michigan Tech for her freshman year, then went to Madison for her degree because of all the snow. (She also wasn't keen on being one of six women in her class back in 1978.) She's spent her career in Minneapolis so it's not like she hates the cold.

I, OTOH, do but today is another beautiful 70° day in paradise.

Drove through (really more like around) the Buffalo area today on I-90>I-290>I-190. There was no snow at all until Batavia, and then gradually increasing snow cover (mostly drifts) west of there. There was only a small area roughly from the Wehrle quarry to the I-290 junction where the ground was fully covered, with maybe a foot remaining at most. Everywhere else was mostly just drifts left. I must confess to being a tad disappointed - I was hoping to at least see several feet of snow, but that's what 4-5 days of mild temperatures with some rain will do.

Brownsville:      90 high (+18);  71 low (+18)
Corpus Christi:  87 high (+19);  69 low (+17)
Laredo:            89 high (+21);  66 low (+18)
McAllen:           91 high (+19);  70 low (+17)

With dew points approaching 70 degrees, Heat Index peaked in the 90s all across South Texas.

Just to put this into proper context.... here is the highest single-day precipitation totals in a year (https://www.currentresults.com/Yearly-Weather/USA/CA/Sacramento/extreme-annual-sacramento-precipitation.php). Most of the time, you can see under a ½" of rain in a 24 hour period, with maybe an occasional 1½" falling in a 24 hour period, and the drainage systems are designed accordingly. In a typical rainfall year which is measured from July 1st to June 30th, most of the rain falls between the months of November through April. The months of June through September are noted for being very bone dry. Most of the water comes from the snow pack in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Also, it is extremely rare to have a thunderstorm or hail in the area, with several years between each occurrence.

The last time I saw flooding this bad was on January 1st, 1997... the same day the Emergency Alert System was operational. There was a very cold system that dumped a ton of snow in the Sierra Nevada, followed by a warm system which melted the show.

Just to put this into proper context.... here is the highest single-day precipitation totals in a year (https://www.currentresults.com/Yearly-Weather/USA/CA/Sacramento/extreme-annual-sacramento-precipitation.php). Most of the time, you can see under a ½" of rain in a 24 hour period, with maybe an occasional 1½" falling in a 24 hour period, and the drainage systems are designed accordingly. In a typical rainfall year which is measured from July 1st to June 30th, most of the rain falls between the months of November through April. The months of June through September are noted for being very bone dry. Most of the water comes from the snow pack in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Also, it is extremely rare to have a thunderstorm or hail in the area, with several years between each occurrence.

The last time I saw flooding this bad was on January 1st, 1997... the same day the Emergency Alert System was operational. There was a very cold system that dumped a ton of snow in the Sierra Nevada, followed by a warm system which melted the show.
I knew the area was still under drought watch for sometime until the snowpack in areas halfway from Lake Tahoe and Sacramento are thick in February-March timeframe.  Also places like Lake Folsom and Oroville Dam needs to be at full capacity to get out of the drought status.

A nice day, mostly sunny and about 35°F.  The sun does help compress the snowpack somewhat, but at 35°F for a high temperature not much can melt.

There are multiple storms in the forecast for the next several days and we would expect a few feet of additional snow.  When we get so much snow in a span of a couple weeks the issue becomes, what the heck do you do with it?  Storage space becomes minimal and eventually zero.  This happened here in January 2017.  The solution at that time was that my driveway opening became very narrow, really just a few inches of space on each side of the car with snow piled nearly to the height of the car's roof.

Of the daily record highs in December 2022:  One day in Arizona, three days in California, 15 days in Florida, and 12 days in Texas.  The average of those days was 86 degrees; and the highest day last month was 90 degrees in Falcon Lake (TX) on December 6th and in Big Bend NP (TX) December 8th.


Totaling up all of the days in 2022: 

14 days in Arizona
80 days in Death Valley, CA
74 days elsewhere in California
70 days in Florida
3 days in Nevada (all in Laughlin)
2 days in Oklahoma
122 days in Texas

The hottest day in 2022 was 125 degrees on July 16 in Death Valley.

It's cold. Only 56°F and raining, thanks to the Pineapple Express which continues to soak much of California. Not complaining though. We still need the rain and snow to replenish the reservoirs. Don't know if it's helping Lakes Mead and Powell or, more importantly for the river, the Colorado snowpack.

The best weather conditions in America is found right here in South Texas (or northern Mexico if you must call us that).  While the rest of the country is either busy shoveling snow (in the north) or can't drive because of the snow (in "The South" whatever the heck that means), we are enjoying the beach (or golf course, or football field, or tennis courts, or any other form of outdoor activity).  Don't envy us -- join us!

I wish we could get some of that snow out east. Ontario has been depressing overcast and rain (especially heavy on Wednesday) and the snow is long gone. My local hill (Chicopee) didn't even bother opening this Christmas because they knew the snow would disappear before New Years. :-(

My ski trip to Vermont next week isn't look much better either, with only 38/128 trails open at Stowe.

Depends on which part of Texas.  South Texas is just like Florida, if anything, the Gulf coast of Texas often has higher dew points than Florida.  Anything west of the I-35 corridor is a lot less humid than the Gulf Coast.

We've had another 1 foot + of snow since sunrise today.  The temperature has been steady at 30°F so this is the easier, lighter type of snow to move.  The piles are getting so high that a lot of it has to be tossed upward, though.  It's a good cardio workout as long as you're careful to take some breaks.  There's an 80+ year old man a few doors down from me who was out there working on his walkways...just take it easy, dude.

We've had a very warm winter so far. The climate average for the second half of January, the coldest time of year, is a high of 34 and a low of 14. In the next 10 days, all but one high will be above 34 (today was also an exception) and the lowest low is 17. And not just now; it's been this way pretty much all winter so far.

EDIT: NOAA disagrees with me on the low, telling me the lowest low, January 27, is 18.4°. There are still only two days out of the next ten with a low below 20. The high is in agreement.

I don't feel our winter has been particularly warm, but the dearth of snowfall has been surprising. We've had maybe six or so inches to date, which is almost unheard of this deep into the season. There's been some rain (indicative of warmer temperatures), but also some mixed precipitation, and some light snows that either don't stick or melt the next day with temps hovering around freezing.

More of the same conditions as we've consistently seen most of this January -- still remaining comfortably (and unseasonably) mild temperatures here.




BROWNSVILLE:      84 high (+10);  67 low (+13)
CORPUS CHRISTI:  81 high (+11);  64 low (+12)
LAREDO:               82 high (+12);  63 low (+14)
McALLEN:              88 high (+14);  66 low (+13)

A cool/dry front is expected to bring some unstable weather in the form of thunderstorms, a few cells might become severe depending on the magnitude of wind shear associated with it.  Heat Index certainly won't be much higher than the air temperature; a couple of places might see Heat Index approaching 90 degrees but most of the area will be feeling the actual temperature itself.

Light snow and 30 in Missoula. Gonna get cold again this upcoming weekend. The local NWS office in Missoula is calling a 50% chance of single digit highs and possible single to double digit wind chill readings in Western Montana from Saturday into portions of Monday next week with a polar clipper coming into play. This will be another upcoming cold snap since the mid-December cold snaps.

Just now in the head end of the artic clipper coming through Montana. It's 34 now, but it won't be long before the overnight temperatures drop to sub-zero. Currently under an active Winter Storm Warning for my area until 11 AM MST Saturday. The wind chills are already dropping as the wind blows around the new snow and freezing wet roads.

Following up on my post from January 5th, 2023 (https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=17397.msg2804445#msg2804445). Per California Department of Water Resources (https://markholtz.info/careservoir):

(https://i.ibb.co/G9v1jX4/chrome-2023-01-28-17-29-51.png) (https://ibb.co/W0Wd1Q4)

And, as of this writing, per Drought Monitor (https://markholtz.info/cadroughtmonitor), 32.57% is in a D2+ "Severe Drought" state. None of the state is currently in a D3+ state.

(https://i.ibb.co/0JR9km2/chrome-2023-01-28-17-31-41.png) (https://ibb.co/w6FQTBg)

Again, it should be noted that a good chunk of the state's water reserve comes from the Sierra Nevada mountains.

The dull grey of winter today, on and off rain, some gusty winds.  Air temperature probably in the low 70s but with the rain and wind it felt cool.  The emptiness of this usually-crowded beach says something about the conditions...not at all what you're hoping for when you're sitting in this spot taking this shot.  :-|

When I woke up in North Dallas this morning at 7 AM, the temperature was 60℉. That was the high for the day. It has dropped steadily the entire day, and is now 31℉.

Tuesday is going to be interesting. The temperature range is forecast to be between 29-31℉. And wet. Did I mention that my driving plans for that day involve staying home instead of trying my laughable winter driving skills on the ice rinks?

It's too bad that South Texas doesn't have its own NFL team (even though I am very confident that we are capable of supporting one, but that's for another thread, so I'll just leave it at that); our winter climate would have been perfectly ideal conditions to host a Super Bowl just like South Florida.....not too hot and not too cold. 

Sunday's temperatures:



BROWNSVILLE:      87 high (+13); 69 low (+15)
CORPUS CHRISTI:  84 high (+13); 66 low (+13)
LAREDO:               86 high (+14); 64 low (+14)

The NWS Fort Worth (https://www.weather.gov/fwd/) has issued a Winter Storm Warning for North Texas including the DFW area (https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?warnzone=TXZ119&warncounty=TXC113&firewxzone=TXZ119&local_place1=Richardson%20TX&product1=Winter+Storm+Watch&lat=32.9728&lon=-96.7098). And driving on a ice skating rink doesn't appeal to me, so I'm staying home.

Chicago is always 2 days before me. You're slightly farther than twice the distance from my location to Chicago. The cold front here begins in the middle of the day 4 days from now. Everything checks out.

That said, this "rule" applies more to precipitation and hot temperatures; we don't typically get extremely low temperatures after Chicago gets them.

"Dull grey of winter", yes that is sarcasm, but it's kind of disappointing to come over here and not see the sun at all, which was the case Saturday and Sunday, and to have to shelter under umbrella and poncho from rain on the beach most of Sunday (until giving up and heading for the bar).  November-January are the rainiest months so it's not totally unexpected.

You're experiencing one of Utah's strongest arctic blasts in recent memory. Peter Sinks just off US 89 by Beaver Mountain dropped to -63F last night, which is the coldest that site has been since at least 2002 and probably longer than that. Logan got down to -30F, which is one degree short of the -31F it measured on that 2002 day.

Even Salt Lake City, usually the warmest spot in northern Utah, only got up to 20F today. A high that cold last happened on two days in January 2017 and before that hadn't happened since the exceptionally cold winter of 2013.

This week we got into the 70s on a couple days, very sunny. This weekend has been pretty cloudy, but no rain, and upper 60s to 70 ish. Very pleasant overall.

Apparently lots of rain coming in this next week, but pretty warm. Mid to upper 70s. Certainly makes the rain a bit more bearable.

The joys of living in a semi-tropical climate.




BROWNSVILLE:      86 high (+11);  67 low (+11)
CORPUS CHRISTI:  84 high (+12);  65 low (+11)
LAREDO:               88 high (+15);  66 low (+15)
McALLEN:              90 high (+14);  68 low (+12)

The in-flow of tropical moisture from the Gulf of Mexico is keeping our dew points close to 70 degrees in many places, a few over 70 degrees.  The result:  heat index ranging from upper 80s to mid 90s.


Of the daily record highs in January 2023, it was almost an even split between Texas and Florida:  14 days in Texas, 16 days in Florida, and one day in San Diego, CA.  The average of the record highs was 88 degrees.  It was mostly an unusually mild January in both states with 30 of the 31 days exceeding 80 degrees, and nine of those days in 90's; Florida saw two days and Texas saw seven days at or exceeding 90 degrees.  The only record high that failed to reach 80 degrees was San Diego's 74 degrees was the warmest day in the country on January 27th.  The warmest days of January 2023 were 92 degrees on New Years Day at Falcon Lake, Texas; and January 16th at McAllen and Sullivan City, Texas.  In addition, four nights in the Rio Grande Valley area where the low temperature remained at or above 70 degrees.

For what it's worth that cold blast (caused by the polar vortex) that tore through the country brought extreme cold here too for a couple of days, the first three days of February saw temperatures that failed to reach 55 degrees at any time during that period (guess I forgot to mention that on here).

Also the RGV area saw highs over 70 degrees nearly every day last month, twenty of those days over 80 degrees, several days over 90 degrees.  As mentioned before January turned out to be overall above average for the area/region.

Parts of South Texas is expected to top out in the 90s practically every day for the rest of this February, and very breezy with winds approaching tropical storm level magnitude in several locations.  Winds from the south may bring moderate humidity to the area, which will neutralize the risk of fire danger; dew points will remain in the 60s, may approach 70 degrees along the beaches, so heat index probably won't exceed the actual temperature by more than a couple degrees.

BROWNSVILLE:      94 high (+17); 70 low (+12)
CORPUS CHRISTI:  93 high (+19); 69 low (+12)

Unsure if temperatures will cool off after February turns to March, but until then, just enjoy the prime setup for windsurfing and sailing at the beaches.

Back home it's in the 20s and snowing, and that's pretty much the forecast every day for the next week.  But here in Southwest Florida it's dry, in the 80s, and is expected to remain that way for that same full week.   :cool:

It's interesting coming here about 5 months after Hurricane Ian.  The photo is on Vanderbilt Beach adjacent to Naples; hard-hit Fort Myers Beach is off in the distance there, about 15 miles north.  These buildings right along the beach look OK at first glance but on closer inspection a number of them are still unoccupied, surrounded by construction fencing and undergoing rehabilitation.  However, go not even 1/4 mile inland, or in many cases just across the street from these beachfront buildings, and to my eye there's not much evidence that a major hurricane hit.

Agreed.

Weather cannot be described as "nothing" if it brings a freeway to a standstill and eventual abandonment.

I was talking about the conditions themselves, not the freeway being closed. Obviously, that's bad. Those conditions are nothing over here and wouldn't have brought the freeway to a standstill. You can still see the road, and that wouldn't even be bad enough to shut down something like Snoqualmie Pass, or bring it to a standstill, at least not by itself.

Portland's freeways see a lot more traffic than Snoqualmie Pass does. All it takes is one really bad collision to start a chain reaction.

We had a tornado hit about a mile away from where I live, in the neighborhood I lived in before I bought this house. A fairly powerful one, enough to throw a car through the roof of a house. Very unusual for February. It hit right as my wife was about to leave for work. Fortunately the siren went off right when she was going to leave, so she decided to stay home until it passed, or else she would have been right in it. It took her an hour longer than usual to get to work because of all of the roads that were blocked.

Sparkling clear and low 70s this morning here on the beach in Marco Island, FL, heading for a high of 81.  Gulf water temperature is very pleasant for swimming.  The "Red Tide" algae bloom that has affected parts of Southwest Florida's Gulf Coast, and leaves a row of dead fish at the high water line after high tide, does not appear to extend this far south.

I'm keeping tabs on my home base at Lake Tahoe, where a Blizzard Warning is in effect, about 18 to 30 inches of snow expected by late tonight and roads and probably most businesses are shut down.

Of the daily record highs in February 2023:

It was an even split; both Florida and Texas with 14 days apiece.  The average of the 28 daily record highs was 91 degrees.  The highest temperature registered in February 2023 was 102 degrees in Falcon Lake, TX on February 23 (just two degrees short of the all-time February record for Texas and the country).

So far the 2023 YTD tally is: one day in California, 30 in Florida, and 28 in Texas.

Currently -1C/30F and overcast. There's a winter storm warning, with snow expected to start in an hour.

QuoteSignificant winter storm with dangerous travel conditions beginning late this afternoon or early evening.

Hazards: Significantly reduced visibility due to heavy snow and blowing snow. Total snowfall accumulations of 15 to 25 cm. Snowfall rates of 4 to 6 cm/h possible. Rapidly accumulating snowfall creating hazardous travel conditions.

Timing: Late this afternoon into Saturday morning. The most dangerous conditions are expected this evening when snowfall rates may be 4 to 6 cm/h at times.

Looking at the 14-day forecast, it looks like winter is here to stay for a while, with highs averaging 0-1C / 32-34F.

A couple shots looking up and down the street this morning, just a few steps from my front door, after another foot of snow overnight.  I have lived in this house for 10 years now and I believe this is the greatest depth we've had in that time.

(https://i.imgur.com/C3Ayp3T.jpg)

(https://i.imgur.com/oQuizCM.jpg)

At 23°F this is very lightweight powdery snow so it's easy to move quite a bit of it.  The flip side of that is that gusts of wind pick it up very easily and create instant whiteouts, and that would help explain the closure of I-80 over the Sierra for much of this weekend.

Monterey County was hit hard by the Bomb Cyclone today.  I ended up getting stuck out here due to all the main state highways connecting to the Central Valley being flooded.  The rains are letting up finally I'll likely be able to get home by morning once everything subsides a little.  I've never seen CA 156 flood before, that was certainly unique.

One more day of pleasant temperatures before winter returns with a vengeance this weekend and is expected to last for several days; temperatures are expected to nose-dive to frigid levels, below normal even by January standards.

Naha, Okinawa: Beautiful sunny morning. Then the rain pushed through midday. Cleared up for a beautiful evening.

While on paper it sounds lovely, the temperatures and humidity were not. It was only around 80, but woah it was humid.

Yesterday's rain and several days above zero have caused a lot of the snow to melt. At this point, it's mainly snowbanks and shaded spots where the snow is holding on for now. I even heard some birds this morning when I woke up for the first time this year!

Today will be a mix of sun and clouds and high of 7C/45F. Tomorrow's weather is less nice but more eventful:
Quote from: Weather.gc.caFreezing rain changing to a few rain showers in the morning. Risk of a thunderstorm in the afternoon. Rainfall amount 10 to 20 mm.

Anyway, it's currently 46 feels like 42 and sunny in Saginaw. Going up to a high of 49.

We haven't seen too many sunny days at South Lake Tahoe since the middle of February, but today was very nice with a high temperature of about 39°F.  With one more day to go, the highest official high temperature in March has been 46°F.

Many years by the end of March or the beginning of April there's a day or two that's warm enough to go sit on the beach.  Even if one of those days happens soon there's just not a heck of a lot of sand to sit on out there.

Oh yeah, and it's about 71°F with a mix of sun and clouds.

LAREDO:               102 high (+13); 76 low (+13)
McALLEN:              103 high (+16); 75 low (+8)

With dew point in the 60s during the afternoon, the resulting Heat Index will range between 105 and 110 degrees; then overnight the Heat Index will drop to low 80s during the graveyard hours.  Also quite breezy with winds in the 10 to 25 MPH range with gusts approaching 30 MPH.

----------------------------------------------

Of the 31 daily national highs in March 2023, one day in California, twelve days in Florida and 18 days in Texas; the average of the 31 days was 95 degrees.  The highest day last month was 105 degrees in Laredo, Texas on the first day of March, which remains the highest temperature recorded in the country so far this year.  Cumulatively this year (first 90 days of 2023), 42 days in Florida, two days in California, and 46 days in Texas.

Severe storms are expected again on Tuesday and Tuesday night. Another dry, hot, and breezy day will result in elevated fire danger west of I-35 behind a dryline. Ahead of the dryline, a few storms may develop before sunset Tuesday evening. If storms are able to develop, they could become strong to severe. However, better chances for strong to severe storms will arrive with a cold front later Tuesday night. The best potential for severe storms will be east of Highway 75 and north of I-20, but how far south and west the severe threat will exist is still a bit uncertain at this time. All modes of severe weather will be possible. Make sure you pay attention to the weather Tuesday afternoon and evening, and have multiple ways to receive warnings before heading to bed Tuesday night!

The low temperature of 7°F in South Lake Tahoe this morning is going to break the record for April 4.  It looks like there has only been one morning in this century later in the season when we got that cold (April 8, 2011, also 7°F).  It's turning into a beautiful day though, clear and dry as one would expect for it to get that cold with a forecast high of about 35°F.

Was partially successful Tuesday chasing, caught a glimpse of the eventual Lewiston IL tornado but immediately lost sight and no good roads to attempt another look. Plus the Illinois River Valley is not a good area to chase so I just ended up going home and getting out of the Peoria metro before the storm ran through.

I've gotta do that too, but unfortunately I've got a puncture in one of my summer tyres that I have to fix first.

I just got that done this morning, although a little snow was falling on the drive to the tire store.  But, the forecasts for Sunday and Monday call for high temperatures of 60°F (would be the first 60 since October 31).  Beyond the middle of April, if it snows here it's usually overnight, and even with a couple inches the roads will melt off by 10 or 11 a.m.

Typical Spring weather, although slightly above normal for this time of the year as indicated below.



                                     ACTUAL                         AVERAGE

BROWNSVILLE:       92 high; 75 low                  88 high; 69 low
CORPUS CHRISTI:   93 high; 74 low                  85 high; 68 low
LAREDO:                96 high; 73 low                  92 high; 66 low
MCALLEN:              94 high; 74 low                  90 high; 69 low

Dew Points hovering around 70 degrees means Heat Index is approaching or slightly exceeding 100 degrees.  Great day to be at the beaches with mostly cloudy skies and winds ranging 20-25 MPH and some gusts well over 30 MPH.  All this juice in the air mass can potentially fire off several thunderstorms, and combined with winds, a few might be supercells.

We had a tornado outbreak today across Central Oklahoma. Nothing tornadic hit my area, but I lost some siding to straight-line winds. There was a fatality in Cole, and there has been a decent amount of damage in Pottawatomie County. My old high school in Washington is being used as a shelter for those who lost their homes. Classes are cancelled tomorrow across much of McClain County.

A red flag warning indicates a combination of dry conditions with high winds, and the warning is to indicate that people should not attempt to burn trash, start campfires, controlled burns, etc. because they could easily lose control of them.

There's no watch/warning distinction when it comes to wildfires.  With a tornado warning, there's either a tornado already identified, or the conditions are so incredibly ripe for tornados that one could develop at a moment's notice.  This isn't the same with wildfires:  they don't just spontaneously develop, but rather they need to be ignited, therefore a watch and a warning would mean the same thing.  The question, really, is whether the concept is closer to that of a tornado/hurricane "watch" or "warning".

Fire watches/warnings are treated more towards the "hurricane" timeframe. If fire conditions are forecasted in the future, a fire weather watch is usually issued a day or two ahead of it. Then that is either upgraded to a red flag warning or dropped depending on how RH values and winds are the day of.

The Storm Prediction Center has a great fire forecasting setup, they do similar Day 1, 2 and 3 and D4-8 periods like with severe thunderstorm forecasts.

Today we cleaned the A/C condenser.  This is an intensely unpleasant task since the shroud that must be removed in order to access the coils is held in place by spring compression and is difficult to reinstall.  We wanted this chore out of the way before the time comes to turn on the A/C for summer.

Thank you Bruce. Looks like it was quite the spectacle.




We got our share of thunderstorms here in Okinawa yesterday, I think we got around 2 to 3 inches of rain in just a few hours, and lots of lightning.

The dew point peaked shortly after the storms passed at 79 F, while it was only around 81 or 82 F. Dew point is back to 71 F this morning.

Power outage on MA/NH 28 near and on both sides of the state line yesterday from about 1 PM to no idea but definitely back by 8 PM (National Grid told them 3:15 PM but I wasn't there past 2:30 PM). It was only raining lightly when this started, so even though there was a lot of rain from 2 PM to 5 AM the next day, it wasn't caused by the rain.

I was there for a Magic: the Gathering tournament. Apparently this place didn't allow any purchases at all when the power was out, even though there were emergency lights that allowed seeing, there were people playing with their own decks pre-tournament and lighting wasn't an issue, and I've played at a different location where the policy was cash only when the power was out.

No surprises here, almost perfectly normal conditions for this time of the year. 

Winds coming from the southeast will keep the gulf moisture flowing which will keep the dew points in the 70s and the resulting Heat Index between 105 and 110 degrees.

Mildly annoyed with ours right about now. I fly to Asia on Friday and of course, that's the day that seems to have rain and a good chance for storms all day long. It so rarely rains here for extended periods of time, that it's pretty unlucky on my part. I have a 5 hour layover before my trans-Pacific flight, but I'd much rather not have to chance it. If the weather gets worse, United will likely issue a travel waiver and I can take an earlier flight Friday morning and just work from Houston all day before my flight to Taipei.

Considerably below where we should normally be around Memorial Day, except Corpus Christi was on point.  McAllen and Laredo should be topping out in the triple-digits by the end of May. 

Winds from the gulf have been gentle keeping the heat indexes not more than a few degrees above 100, with many places not even reaching 100 degrees, but the winds will be accelerated by this weekend raising our dew points (and therefore the heat index).  High temperatures will remain either around or below normal for the duration of this week.  Laredo in particular is expected to remain in the double-digits at least through the first several days of June.

Weather here deep in the hearta' has been more or less normal for May. West Texas is getting their annual rainfall now, and DFW is lucky if a couple of clouds roll in.

Our big severe weather season has passed. June is typically moderately hot here and the furnace switches on after Independence Day.

We are preparing for Typhoon Mawar here in Okinawa at the moment. Temperature-wise, it's really warm, mid-80s, very humid. Wind is really picking up. The bulk of the typhoon is supposed to pass through tomorrow and Friday, with high winds and lots of rain. The center of the typhoon should pass off to the east of the island; previously it was predicted to pass nearly over the center.

Should note that typhoon = 'hurricane' in Western Pacific lingo.

Looks like it's weakened significantly.  It hit Guam head on but basically weakened right before making landfall and then reintensifying right after the eye passed the island. They got as lucky as you can get considering they were directly hit.

A Heat Advisory is in effect for portions of South Texas the next week (or two).  With dew points in the 70s due to the tropical moisture from the Gulf of Mexico, we're expecting overnight Heat Index in the 85-95 degree range, and daytime Heat Index anywhere from 110 degrees near the coast to as much as 125 degrees in several locations.  Dew points in my Corpus Christi area is approaching the 80-degree mark (might even reach 80).

The advisory might be escalated to an Excessive Heat Watch later this week if it gets any hotter, but as of now there's really nothing excessive about these highs.  I believe if the highs exceed 115 degrees, then the Excessive Warning would probably be administered, but even the hottest forecasts suggest the highs will fall just short of that.

Temperatures in the vast majority of South Texas is expected to remain above 80 degrees around the clock all this week; the barrier islands of Padre Island  typically remains above 80 degrees 24/7 throughout the summer season.



                                     ACTUAL                            AVERAGE

BROWNSVILLE:       105 high; 82 low                    96 high; 77 low
CORPUS CHRISTI:   106 high; 81 low                    94 high; 79 low
LAREDO:                114 high; 83 low                  102 high; 76 low
MCALLEN:              111 high; 80 low                    99 high; 78 low

--------------------------------------

Of the daily record highs last month, three days in Arizona, 13 days in California, and 15 days in Texas.  The average daily record high of the 31 days in May 2023 was 105 degrees.  The hottest day last month was 113 degrees at both Big Bend NP in Texas on May 10 and at Death Valley NP in California on May 19th.  The cumulative total for the first five months of 2023 is:  Six days in Arizona, 27 days in California, 46 days in Florida, and 72 days in Texas.

Excessive Heat Warning is now administered for the Webb County (Laredo), Wells County, and Duval County.  After looking at our criteria, I correct myself:  highs exceeding 110 degrees in Laredo and exceeding 105 degrees in Corpus Christi constitutes "excessive" according to their respective NWS.  Furthermore, the Heat Advisory is now expanded to all of South Texas and extends to parts of Central Texas as far north as Waco, Texas.

Dew Point in Corpus Christi now stands at 82 degrees which combined with the current temperature 99 degrees, the heat index is now 121 degrees outside right now. 


From the NWS:

...EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 PM CDT THIS EVENING...
...HEAT ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 1 PM TO 7 PM CDT
WEDNESDAY...
...EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM THURSDAY AFTERNOON
THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING...

* WHAT...For the Excessive Heat Warning, dangerously hot
  conditions with heat index values from 116 to 120 degrees. For
  the Heat Advisory, heat index values up to 114 degrees expected.
  For the Excessive Heat Watch, dangerously hot conditions with
  heat index values up to 118 degrees possible.

* WHERE...Jim Wells and Inland Kleberg Counties.

* WHEN...For the Excessive Heat Warning, until 7 PM CDT this
  evening. For the Heat Advisory, from 1 PM to 7 PM CDT
  Wednesday. For the Excessive Heat Watch, from Thursday
  afternoon through Thursday evening.

South Lake Tahoe set a record today for lowest high temperature for the date, at 54°F.  The previous record was 55°F on June 19, 1975 and the average high temperature for June 19 is 73°F.  It was actually a nice sunny day but with a chilly wind, and the cold helped get rid of some of the Juneteenth three-day weekend visitors early.  The forecast low for tonight is 29°F, which would not be a record (26°F in 1991).

Post by: jgb191 on June 20, 2023, 02:27:39 AM
Conditions are remaining considerably above normal for June....highs running about 10-15 degrees above average.  Overnight low temperatures remain in the 80s, while afternoon highs will top out between the mid-100s to approaching 120 degrees in a few places.  Laredo's highest June temperature in its history, 119 degrees, is at risk of being tied or broken either tomorrow or the day after. 

Tropical moisture loads from the Gulf of Mexico are keeping the dew points hovering in the upper 70s to low 80s range practically the whole region.  The result -- the overnight Heat Index will remain in the 90s all over South Texas, and the daytime heat index will range from 118 degrees to as high as 134 degrees.  Kingsville (TX) has topped out near 130 degrees the last six days in a row, and could possibly peak in the low 130s this week.  This is extraordinarily high, even during our hottest average month which is August, our heat index normally hovers only in the 110-115 range, so 130 in June is extremely unusual, maybe even unprecedented.

By the way, tomorrow is the first official day of summer.




                                     ACTUAL                            AVERAGE

BROWNSVILLE:      107 high; 83 low                    96 high; 78 low
CORPUS CHRISTI:  104 high; 86 low                    95 high; 80 low
LAREDO:                116 high; 82 low                   102 high; 77 low
MCALLEN:              113 high; 81 low                   100 high; 79 low

As for precipitation, nothing significant is anticipated for the rest of this month (but here's hoping the effects TS Bret can bring us some much-needed rainfall and cool-down).

Air temperature is in the low 60s at Lake Tahoe on the first day of astronomical summer, with plenty of evidence of meteorological winter still to be seen.

The summit of Mt. Tallac, the high point there, is 9735' ASL.  At the moment the lake level is 6227.96' ASL, so it has 1.14 feet remaining until it reaches the legal maximum of 6229.1'.  It has risen 1.14 feet in about the last four weeks.  The water master at the dam over at Tahoe City has to manage the outflow to keep it at or below 6229.1', no exceptions, so at some point in July there is going to have to be quite a lot of water rushing in the Truckee River through downtown Reno on its way out to Pyramid Lake.

First day of the year that feels hot and humid. Past days have either been hot but not humid or have had the rain keep the temperature down. That said, it's only 72° and shouldn't feel bad, but it does (slightly).

Currently in Kingsville where it is 107 degrees with a heat index of 124.

What has been an "Excessive Heat" Warning is being downgraded to just a Heat Advisory as temperatures return closer to normal in this last week of June, albeit still somewhat above average by 5-10 degrees.  Outdoor activities will slowly resume again tomorrow (after being temporarily halted for more than a week), but still use extreme caution during the afternoon.  Dew Points have reduced a little in many places away from the coast, but still remain in the low 70s to low 80s.  Heat Index for today still range from 115 to 125 degrees, and a slightly less tomorrow; and overnight tonight will range in the upper 80s to upper 90s.  Those of you living outside South Texas don't realize how easy your summers are compared to ours.  Maybe we have a higher heat tolerance than the average American, but I think these conditions are bearable; I'll easily take this than some of our winter days.

Today's high temperature at South Lake Tahoe was 67°F, which makes it 290 days since the last time we hit 80°F, on September 9 (82°F).  The high temperature so far in this calendar year was 76°F on May 19; June has failed to make it above 74°F.

It looks like the streak will end at 293 or at most 294 days, as the forecast is in the low 80s for Friday and then the mid 80s over the weekend.

90°F is not too common.  In 2022 there were five days of 90°F or above, with 93°F on September 6 being the hottest day of the year.

The heat wave is over in South Texas, and all remaining heat advisories are being terminated.  Back to normal conditions for the last day of June:



                                     ACTUAL                            AVERAGE

BROWNSVILLE:         99 high; 82 low                     97 high; 79 low

MCALLEN:               103 high; 81 low                   100 high; 79 low

Afternoon Heat Index will stay below 120 degrees.....probably maximizing in the 110-118 range; and overnight Heat Index will remain above 90 degrees for vast majority of the area (meaning minimizing in the 90s just before sunrise).

Reno, at altitude about 4400 feet ASL, has a shot at an all-time record high temperature coming up this weekend.  From the Weather Service this morning:

Quote...if the official forecast of 107 occurs on Saturday, it will be the first time KRNO has reached that temperature for a high, and the second highest temp on record for the region. For context, KRNO has reached 106 degrees 3 times in climate history (7/20/1931, 7/4/2007, and 9/6/2022) and the all-time record of 108 degrees 3 times as well (7/10/2002, 7/11/2002, and 7/5/2007).

Medium-term observation here: we've had very few days in the 90s, and the few that were that hot were in the low 90s. The forecast shows the next 9 days below 90 and day #10 at 93. I think the abundance of rain is somewhat keeping temperatures down, although it's also partly luck because we've had many mid-high-80s days. (Historically, the average high here is 80° on July 1, 83° now, and 84° on the hottest day of the year.)

The high for the previous 3-4 days and for the next 9 days (August 11 breaks the trend at 86°) is at or below the historical average of 84° (up to August 1) or 83° (starting August 2). And surprisingly, many of those days are without rain.

Cheers, I appreciate it. Power was out for a while, but it's good now. I'm totally safe though.

Got a run in earlier in the day while it wasn't raining. Got to the halfway point, and it started pouring. Oops. At least it isn't cold rain.

Unfortunately, the same storm is turning around and coming back for round 2. Here is some video from The Guardian:

The typhoon that hit Okinawa came back for round 2 over the weekend, bouncing off some high pressure situated over China.

Being at the bottom of the storm now, rather than the top, the wind was coming from the other direction over the weekend. So the front of my apartment was being battered earlier last week, and then it was the back-side of the apartment over the weekend. Unfortunately, the back-side of the apartment has two massive sliding windows that seem to have a design flaw. Needless to say, I spent most of my free-time watching my base-boards and cleaning up water seeping into the framing via the sliding windows, which then ended up all over the floor inside my apartment.

I can say this much: I am exhausted, and I'm glad I'm a renter.

Weather-wise, still very windy but no rain today. Finally some sun, actually. Currently 80 F with a dew point of 77 F, so pretty humid. Mid-80s today...and everyday :-D

I for one would love that weather right now. It's been around 100 degrees and dry nearly every day for what feels like 2 months here in Houston (and there's no relief in sight; well, I guess I get a break when I travel back up to Tulsa for my sophomore year).

I appreciate that, thank you. Wasn't sure if it made the news back in the US or not.

The rain has been insane. I've not been able to track down definite numbers, but I've heard at least 12+ inches after the second doubling-back of the storm.

Locals have been saying to have a storm double back the way this one did was incredibly rare, they've never heard of it happening to Okinawa before.

Humidity is still quite polarizing between the coast and border.  Dew Points along the western border are in the upper 60, while the barrier islands are in the 80s, and 70s in the middle.  And we're still looking for our first rainfall of this month; while the moisture from the gulf keeps flowing in, the high pressure over the western Gulf coast is blocking any other air mass from mixing with it, which means no thunderstorm development and mostly sunny skies.  Very tough for farmers here.  But this week could change as the High is moving more east allowing for the possibility of a dryline to pass through.

It's gray and cool at 53°F this morning and probably won't get much past 60°F today and the next couple days.  We're toward the western edge of the projected path of the remnants of Hilary, and it looks like the effect here will be about like a modest storm we might ordinarily get in late September or early October, just some moderate rain, not windy and not cold enough for snow even high up on the mountains.

TS Harold brought a lot of relief for us....some very welcomed mild temperatures and desperately needed rainfall.  Laredo in particular failed to reach triple-digit high temperatures for the first time since June 8th, snapping a string of 74 consecutive days of 100+ degrees, and nighttime temperatures dropping down to the 70s for the first time in over a month.

Harold's max intensity peaked at sustained winds of over 50 MPH though and knocked out power for several thousand homes.  Kingsville looked to be the closest town to Harold's path.  With tropical season approaching peak-activity next month, we're hoping for more rain to make up for our current drought.  September and October are our wettest months of the year.

Those numbers calculates to a Heat Index of 116 degrees, which is what I'm also seeing here; you're getting a brief taste of what those of us here on the Gulf coast experience virtually every day during the summer months.

Those numbers also come out to about 57% RH, underscoring the error of looking at RH to determine the amount of moisture in the air.  RH is a percentage just how full of water the container is based on the size of the container (so to speak); while dew point is the degrees to which the temperature must be cooled to for fully saturated air for things like fog or rain.

Typhoon Haikui is going to at least brush Okinawa, if not downright hit it, in the next couple days. Not sure exactly how much rain we will get, but it's a firm typhoon/hurricane, so it'll be decently serious.

The military bases have entered a TCCOR level of 3; 4 is normal, so there is some expectation of windy and rainy conditions...at least more-so than we normally endure.

On the map below, Okinawa is the big island south of the "9PM, 01 Sep." label.

Just short of 100 today, and I've learned that humidity really does make a difference. I guess it was stupid of me to ever question it (though "it's not the heat, it's the humidity" does get old fast when it's 97 degrees to begin with). A week and a half ago in Madison it was the same temp except with 70-80% humidity as opposed to today's 30%. The former was a different level of hot.

Once you hit temperatures at or above your average body temp, everything is hot. Even the breeze that would normally give you a brief cooling effect just feels hot.

Pretty nice weather today. 85, dew point 65 (50% humidity). Cloudy, but slowly getting sunnier. Tomorrow looks very sunny, but back into the upper 80s, around 90, and slightly more humid.

Future looks wetter, and stormy. But no typhoons, so that's nice.

Summer dissipates by then, but temperatures that go over 80 really don't belong in mid-September.

Ahh, this might be another north/south sound difference. 80s in September down south wasn't unusual.

I distinctly remember because I used to live in Downtown Puyallup, and would frequent the fair throughout September. Days in the 80s were not unusual, I even remember some 90s.

Not a lot has changed here....we are still looking at more of the same conditions as we've seen all summer long.  Although the Gulf moisture loads have decreased considerably resulting in mostly lower dew points and heat index....surprising considering this is the peak of tropical season and that September is typically our wettest month.

Tomorrow is the last day of summer and we're still seeing more of the same conditions as we have been seeing.  Temperatures still running a good five to ten degrees above average for September.

Dew points have been on the rise again this past weekend keeping the Heat Index keeps hanging around in the 110's range; last week's heat index in parts of Brooks and Wells counties approached 120 degrees and that might still be possible again this week.

It's nice today, around 70°F this afternoon, but we have our first cold system of the season lined up for Wednesday night into Thursday.  It should be just cold rain at my elevation (6500'), but the higher Sierra passes from Carson Pass CA-88 down through Tioga Pass CA-120 will probably see an inch or two of snow.

Wanna trade with me?  If you don't like your current conditions, I'll gladly take it and you can have mine.

You'd have to pay me a lot to live in a place that hot (and humid too)! :-D



The weather is much more fall-like since returning from my trip. Highs for this week are around 19-21C (66-70F), but more notably, the low dipped down to 6C (42F) last night. It's that time of year with lots of layering. Other than some brief but heavy rain on Monday, it's looking dry and partly cloudy this week.

More of the same conditions....summer weather still hanging around here; these temperatures would have been on average nearly a month ago but no changes since then.  Dew Points are returning back to summer-like levels with the barrier islands seeing low 80s again and approaching 80 degrees all over South Texas; Corpus Christi and Robstown saw Heat Index near 120 degrees yesterday and again this afternoon.




                                     ACTUAL                              AVERAGE

BROWNSVILLE:        101 high; 84 low                    92 high; 74 low

MCALLEN:               105 high; 81 low                    93 high; 73 low

Nighttime Heat Index:  upper 80s to near 100 degrees
Daytime Heat Index:  low 110s to as high as 120 degrees

Note:  Laredo averages around 70-75 days of triple-digit highs per calendar year....so far this year it has tallied 118 such days with still three more months left to go of 2023.  Assuming average autumn temperature the rest of this year, Laredo will certainly exceed 120 days of 100+ degrees.  They probably won't break the all-time record of 146 days unless temperatures remain consistently like this until the holidays, which is very unlikely.

Going to be rainy the next few days and a lot cooler to begin the month of October.  The days of triple-digits temperatures are mostly fading fast, except for places like McAllen and a few other locations near there which will still hover right around or slightly over the 100-degree mark, but most of South Texas will top out only in the upper 90s.  With the tropical moisture from the gulf, dew points will still be in the upper 70s.

Our first strong cold front saw our highs take a skydive to below-normal levels.  And the rainy and overcast cloud-cover will keep us cool for at least the next few days.

Friday night, Corpus Christi saw 70s for the first time since early June, snapping 122 consecutive days/nights above 80 degrees around the clock.  And for Columbus Day the overnight low will be dropping below 70 degrees for the first time since the last night of April snapping 163 days/nights above 70 degrees around the clock.  No more overnight Heat Index to speak of, and the afternoon Index will remain only in the 80s. 

Temperatures will climb up later on this week when the skies clear and a couple of places are expecting to approach triple-digits again before next weekend.

Of the 30 daily national highs in September, seven day occurred in California, two days apiece in Oklahoma and Arizona, and 19 days in Texas.  The average of the 30 days was 109 degrees; the highest day in September was 115 degrees occurred in Big Bend NP, Texas, coming one degree short of matching the all-time September record in Texas.

It was a perfect day to walk the course with some PGA Tour players in the higher-elevation western part of the Las Vegas Valley, with the temperature getting no higher than the low 70s, no wind of speak of and a fair amount of high overcast.  I was at this tournament last year and the temperature was around 90°F or higher each day.

Only a few degrees above normal for mid-October.  The inflow of tropical moisture from the Gulf of Mexico is returning the Heat Index back to triple-digits (up to 105 degrees) in many places during the mid-afternoon hours, and even a couple of locations on the coast saw overnight Heat Index in the low 80s.

Fabulous weather here in Okinawa lately. Low 80s, humidity around 40-60%, passing clouds, maybe a rain-shower at night.

Quite a nice change of pace from the summers, where the dew point was regularly hitting 80 and highs were in the low 90s. Thankfully not as miserable as mainland Japan.

Still remaining relatively warm with temperatures 5-10 degrees above normal in most places.  Humidity loads range greatly from moderate along the coasts and dry along the western border.  Overnight Heat Index returns to parts of the barrier coast for the next couple of nights, and afternoon Heat Index will top out from upper 90s to low 100s depending on location.  Places along I-35 like Laredo and Encinal will see Heat Index matching the actual temperature itself, while Corpus Christi and Brownsville will see Heat Index nearly ten degrees higher the actual temperature.

Ole man winter's coming a-knockin' early. That graphic is all you need to know. I hope everyone in Montana is prepared for it. Don't get stupid and drive like you're in the 500 or something. Supposed to get about 3 inches in the Missoula valley. Mountainous areas will get a bit more than that in these next 64 to 72 hours.

Beautiful high of 71 today. Looks like we'll get our first snow of the year Saturday night into Sunday morning. I'm pretty excited for it as my son is now old enough that he'll want to play in it unlike last year where we set him down in the snow and he started crying.

Total rainfall, August 15 to yesterday = 2.13 inches

Today, my wife is having to use the shop-vac in the basement every 20 minutes.

This side of town has received 3.85 inches of rain in the last 24 hours.

Could be worse.  Emporia has received 7.6 inches in the last 24 hours.

Pretty much 78-82 everyday for the foreseeable future here in Okinawa, lows around 70. Partly to mostly sunny and very low humidity, with only very occasional passing rain.

I can tell I'm getting acclimated to this weather, as I have started wearing jeans and sweatpants a lot outside. 70s...brrrr.

Still more of the same conditions here in "Tropical Texas" remaining fairly warm, but nothing unusual for our fall climate; although our nighttime temperatures are a lot higher than average, in fact virtually everywhere in South Texas will be seeing official heat index reading every hour around the clock until our next cold front on Monday.  Yesterday the small community of Falcon Lake was forecasted to top out at 100 degrees, but fell just one degree short of that.

Not a bad way to start the month of December.  Partly to mostly cloudy skies with brief periods of light rain every now and then.  Moderate loads of tropical moisture from the gulf will be keeping our dew points in the low 70s along the length of the Padre Island barrier, in fact the Heat Index in places around the Brownsville and Harlingen areas approached 90 degrees today and could again for the next couple of days.  If anybody is in the mood for the beach, come down here!

Got light snowfall here, maybe a third of an inch and mostly melted. I did do a little chasing though and went up to Carvers Gap, met up with a friend who lives down in Georgia. The wind was pretty brutal up there. Enough so that ice started to build up on his hair... A lot of good rime ice up top. My toes just about froze taking the Appalachian Trail up to that one bald. Total whiteout up there.

They did a pretty good job salting the roads, at least on the Tennessee side (I didn't see the North Carolina side but according to my friend he had to take his sweet time on that side, and he's normally a daredevil on mountain roads). A TDOT and NCDOT snow plow were both at the top and the drivers were having a chat which I found kind of amusing for some reason. Like UPS and FedEx meeting up or something.

A little warmer than it was at the beginning of this month.  Mostly Sunny and breezy.  Heat Index will be in the mid to upper 80s all across South Texas, a number of places could exceed 90 degrees.

MCALLEN:               85 high; 68 low                    75 high; 56 low

That same cold front that sliced through the country earlier will arrive here Sunday morning and our temperatures will take a tumble.  We'll be several degrees below average for a couple of days before the evenutally gradually recovering back to normal.

We are considerably cooler than we were at this time last week, but still slightly above average at the midpoint of December.  Not much to speak of on the Heat Index, several places could top out in the low to mid 80s at the most but that's about it there.

24°F and snowing with gusty winds.  Usually when it snows here the temperature is in the 28°F-34°F range, so at 24°F this snow is very light powder rather than the wetter cement, and with the wind we have a whiteout.  Good day to stay indoors and watch some golf and football.

NWS Tornado Warning (https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/vtec/#2024-O-NEW-KMFL-TO-W-0003/USCOMP-N0Q-202401062245) that was issued at 5:45 PM Eastern Time.

I was in that area just this afternoon on a water taxi, but was on a bus heading back to my hotel room and outside the warning area. The area is filled with homes with a price tag starting at $10 million.

Our flight landed at Fort Lauderdale just before 4:30. I decided to take Sheridan Street to the hotel instead of I-595 and the sky was incredibly dark as we were driving. Got to the hotel and our relatives called to tell us of the tornado warning and to say not to come over yet for dinner. Turned on the TV and saw the tornado. Pure luck that our flight was not delayed and that I chose to take one of the more southern routes.

Active week ahead after getting 2" of snow over the weekend. Another 2-4" tonight, another coating on Wed night, then potentially a good storm come Friday. Following that is a good blast of arctic air.

Tonight's low is higher than the high temperature for both today and tomorrow...

In regards to the "winter storms" as of late, the forecasts around here tend to start with saying there's a potential winter storm.. then preliminary snowfall estimates get released, then said estimates get reduced to basically nothing because it ends up being warmer than expected.

Our typical winter roller coaster ride is being amplified, literally speaking.  Today our highs were fairly warm in the 80s and 90s, but a week from now after the cold blast, our temperatures will fall way short of 60 degrees, and many won't even make it to 50 degrees, and overnight freezing temperatures are expected.




                                     ACTUAL                              AVERAGE

BROWNSVILLE:        90 high; 62 low                    72 high; 54 low
CORPUS CHRISTI:    87 high; 57 low                    68 high; 51 low
LAREDO:                 89 high; 56 low                    67 high; 48 low
MCALLEN:               92 high; 63 low                    73 high; 52 low

Heat Index was in the 90s today all across South Texas, with McAllen topping just a couple of degrees short of triple-digits.

Very gusty this evening in Okinawa. Hard to estimate exactly, but I'd guess over 50 mph. Serious wind-chill with it, feels like around 50 to 55.

Windy again tomorrow, highs into the upper 60s.

I used to get a lot of that weirdness when I was growing up in northwestern Kansas.  A lot of your weather made it over there.  I have a distinct memory of playing competitive Frisbee with my dad up at the high school football field, on Christmas Day, in short sleeves, in 60°F sunny weather, with a half-foot of snow on the ground.

For what it's worth, Wichita's forecast high for Monday is also 6°F, but two days later is only 34°F.

Currently cloudy and -2C (29F) with a predicted high of 3C (38F) around 4am.

Winter storm warning in my area, not great timing for my parents' flight out of Kitchener (YKF) this evening.
QuoteWinter storm expected this evening to Saturday morning.

Hazards: Heavy snowfall with total accumulations of 10 to 25 cm. Peak snowfall rates of 3 to 5 cm per hour. Strong wind gusts resulting in significantly reduced visibility in blowing snow.

Timing: This evening to Saturday morning.

Discussion: Snow is forecast to begin late this afternoon and will quickly become heavy at times, before transitioning to periods of rain tonight as temperatures rise above freezing. Strong southeasterly winds gusting up to 70 km/h will combine with this heavy snow to cause significantly reduced visibility at times.

In the wake of this system, much colder Arctic air will become established across the region. A multi-day lake effect snow event is expected for locations east of the Great Lakes bringing additional snowfall accumulations to some communities.

Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow. Visibility will be suddenly reduced to near zero at times in heavy snow and blowing snow.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to ONstorm@ec.gc.ca or tweet reports using #ONStorm.

It's brutal in Missoula. -10 with around -20 to -25 wind chills. The forecast wind chills are closing in on 50 to 60 below zero through Saturday. But if anyone is east of the divide, maybe as close to 70 below. There's also an Avalanche Warning for a portion of Northwestern Montana backcountry areas due to that storm front passing by yesterday. I tell 'ya, there was period of about 15 minutes or so while I was working at my grocery store in Missoula where I couldn't see basically past the fuel station in the parking lot. Couldn't even see downtown Missoula! It was that blinding. Then, just as soon as that passes, it clears up. It's been a topsy turvy 24 hours, and now it's cold enough to where you can pretty easily freeze a pop can outdoors.

When I woke up, it was 9°F with 20–30mph winds.  When I got out of the shower, I heard a man yelling/moaning outside.  I couldn't find him at first when looking out the window, but my wife spotted him lying down in the neighbor's yard.  By the time I got dressed and made it outside, he was stumbling down the block, and I saw that he was wearing short sleeves.  So I grabbed an extra jacket to give him, and caught up with him down the block.  He was clearly under the influence of something, not even in a right enough mind to comprehend putting a jacket on, so I got him back to the house to warm up, then in my car to take him . . . where?  The police stations weren't open yet, and the address he gave me was eight miles away—far enough away that I don't know he could have walked that far in this weather in his state and survived.  So I drove to the downtown police station, called 9-1-1, and had dispatch send me a couple of officers.  He had konked out in the backseat, and it took quite some doing to get him to respond.  There was likely more in his system than just a lot of alcohol, considering how unresponsive he was and some of the movements he was making.

The police officers told me I shouldn't have given him a ride, or especially let him warm up in my house first, but—geeez, he's a human being, and I wasn't about to leave him outside in 9°F wind in short sleeves!

Florida, or at least my part of the state, has been unseasonably colder this year. Highs around only 72, but most of the time it seems like 63 it only peaks during the day.

This large system blanketing the eastern seaboard with snow  is mostly to blame this week anyway.

They meant, for my own protection.  Who knows what someone that drunk and strung out might do?  I must admit that, when he was sitting in our front room and we tried convincing him to pull his pants up (he was wearing two pairs, and the outer pair was too big), we did get a bit scared when he kept reaching for his pocket and not being able to make a sentence to tell us what he was reaching for.

Unfortunately, my wife can tell you from personal experience that even someone who can barely stand up can muster a LOT of strength.

The officer was just expounding on "think of your safety first".  Well, maybe I made a stupid decision, but sometimes I'd rather be stupid than cruel.

Starting Saturday, DFW will go for an expected 84-hour period below freezing. Probably a dusting of snow on Monday morning is the only precip we'll see, but we'll be well below normal for the next 10 days. Normals are 56/36.

We had the well-documented February 2021 winter storm, then we had another big blast right before Christmas in 2022. We're due one good snow event a year on average, but single digits are rare.

I'm already in the midst of this "blast". It's -9 with -25 to -30 avg. wind chill in Missoula, and it looks like areas east of the divide are gearing to issue localized, if not, statewide civil emergencies as the artic outbreak slams Central and Eastern Montana from as far as Havre to Broadus and Miles City with life-threatening wind chill readings and near historic lows.

Just to give you an idea, as I pull direct data from extremeweatherwatch.com:

Missoula's all time low for 1/12 - -23 - 1963
Missoula's forecast low tonight - -20 (so we're really close)

Years of sub-zero weather for January 12 in Missoula:
2007, 1998, 1997, 1993, 1975, 1968, 1963, 1949, 1937, 1930, 1916, 1910, 1909, 1907

Now add 2024 to this lineup, and that's approximately one cold snap every three to twenty years, hence the gap between 1916 to 1930, 1937 to '49, and '75 to '93.

We tied the lowest high temperature for this day (1/12) during the 4 PM MT hour
-9, set in 1963 (right now it's at -11, so we blew that one outta the park)

We will tie the 1916 daily lowest high of -2 on Saturday and break the 1993 record low of -17 with a forecast low of -19.

In tl;dr speak: IT'S DAMN COLD!

So, it'll be essentially the same as 2022 and almost certainly not as bad as the shitshow in 2021. Still, my building's poor insulation and the state's deliberately unrobust electric grid don't inspire confidence.

On Thursday, it'll be 68.

Starting Saturday, DFW will go for an expected 84-hour period below freezing. Probably a dusting of snow on Monday morning is the only precip we'll see, but we'll be well below normal for the next 10 days. Normals are 56/36.

We had the well-documented February 2021 winter storm, then we had another big blast right before Christmas in 2022. We're due one good snow event a year on average, but single digits are rare.

I'm a bit farther south, in College Station, so it won't be below freezing for quite that long, and we'll probably peak a bit over it on Tuesday. So, it'll be essentially the same as 2022 and almost certainly not as bad as the shitshow in 2021. Still, my building's poor insulation and the state's deliberately unrobust electric grid don't inspire confidence.

On Thursday, it'll be 68.

College Station? I may be making my first ever trip there Labor Day weekend.

It should warm up a bit by then. :-D

We're going from heat index approaching 100 degrees last Monday to wind chills below freezing the next couple of days.  This is why I envy South Florida's winters....they are consistently in the 70s on a practically daily basis without too much variation.  Here in South Texas our winters constantly bounce back and forth between days in the 80s and 90s to days in the 50s and 60s....it all averages out to 70s days on paper as well but considering the roller coaster-like amplification in temperatures variation, it's very much hit or miss here.

Our forecast for Dr. MLK Jr. Day tomorrow:



                                     ACTUAL                              AVERAGE

BROWNSVILLE:        59 high; 47 low                    72 high; 54 low
CORPUS CHRISTI:    49 high; 37 low                    69 high; 51 low
LAREDO:                 46 high; 35 low                    68 high; 49 low
MCALLEN:               55 high; 42 low                    73 high; 53 low

One nice thing about Fahrenheit's 0 point is that it means the vast majority of the time the numbers will be positive. I can remember exactly once in my life the outdoor temperature was below 0, which made it remarkable enough I specifically went outside to go see what it was like. (It was cold. Now to go to Furnace Creek in the summer to experience it being hot.)

Seriously?  It gets below 0°F at least once a year up here in Wichita.

Usually the lowest it gets here is in the upper single digits.

It was -2°F on the way to work this morning, with clear (but still dark) skies.  We got a dusting of snow yesterday afternoon—the kind I call 'dancing snow', the little-bitty pebbles of snow that blow and dance all over the highway pavement—but it didn't freeze to anything at all, including the windshield.  We're supposed to get up above 20°F today;  this will be the first time it's been above 10°F since Friday.  Looking ahead, they're calling for 40s and rain next week.

Pipes froze! Well, nearly. This morning when making coffee, the water started out real slow, but after about 45 seconds or so, it came rushing back like normal. Still, though, I'm annoyed that that happened since I usually leave for a couple of weeks every winter, and it wasn't all that cold last night, maybe 17 degrees.

Still, only 21 more hours of this to go.

Eek.  Yeah.  We typically flip the water shut-off whenever we go out of town, but that's kind of the opposite of the "leave a trickle running to keep the pipes from freezing" wisdom.

As snow totals have piled up in the Buffalo and Watertown areas this week, approaching 6 feet in the hardest hit areas, Rochester has largely escaped. We had three straight mornings of fresh snow, but only a dusting each day and only an inch or so on the ground overall. But last night/this morning the winds have finally shifted to the southwest, giving the hammered Buffalo area some reprieve; meanwhile we've got our first proper snow of the season here in the Rochester area as the Lake Ontario snow machine finally shifts in our direction. Similarly, areas south of Lake Erie such as Erie, PA and Cleveland, are now getting some lake effect snow off of Lake Erie while the NY side of Lake Erie looks to escape this round.

It's about 60° outside as I type this at 20:25, and it rained today, so we're under a dense fog advisory. I was just outside taking out the garbage and there's some fog (one guy up the block still has Christmas lights on a tree and it gives an eerie effect), but it's not dense enough to warrant fog lights while driving. At least, not here. Maybe closer to the river is different.

We are also going on several days in a row with fog. Another bout of rain this morning prompted a Flood Warning for the Irondequoit Creek valley:

(https://imgur.com/fk0X6hw.jpg)

So of course, I had to check out Ellison Park this afternoon given its notoriety for flooding. Sure enough, the main parking lots were flooded as usual, and Blossom Rd was quite literally on the cusp, with spillover from Irondequoit Creek just inches away from entering the EB travel lane via an inundated shoulder (pics below). If rain continues this afternoon I would not be surprised to see a closure. I wouldn't be surprised to see water levels recede either - Blossom Rd is just the road equivalent of the 'this is fine' meme (https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/this-is-fine) whenever we get heavy rain and/or significant snow melt. And don't miss the irony of the "Welcome to Penfield" sign sitting in 6 inches of floodwater:

No.  Snow is typically gone within the week.  It's a rare combination here for (1) the ground to be cold enough when the snow falls, (2) air temperatures to be well below freezing for a long time after snowfall, and (3) subsequent sunshine not to do substantial melting even during low temperatures.
Title: Re: What's your weather currently?
Post by: kphoger on January 30, 2024, 02:14:08 PM
The last real snowfall we got was 3 weeks ago.  High temperatures have been above 38°F for a week straight, and this is the third day in a row that it's getting above 50°F.  Yesterday's high was 68°F with sun, and it's currently 58°F and sunny.

Yet, when I took my lunchtime walk just now, I saw ice on the water on the north side of the culvert, and a few patches of snow and ice in shady spots of the parking lot.  Sunday at church, I looked out to see the Arkansas River completely covered in ice—despite temperatures not having been below 25°F since six days earlier.

That may be normal up where you are, but it's certainly not normal around here.  Typically, every last trace of that snow and ice would be long gone by now.

Freeze-thaw cycles are common here too, but subsequent sunshine is not. The sun sometimes comes out right after a big snow, but it doesn't stay around. Even when it's not raining or snowing, there's almost always cloud cover. We've had two? maybe three? sunny days this year and no more than a dozen since Halloween.

Not a bad way to start the month of February....mostly sunny skies and pleasantly mild temperatures, plus a good amount of sea-breeze along the beaches.  Dew points in the 60s will make the 'feels like' temperatures hover only a few degrees above the actual temperatures.  Can't ask for anything better than this: 




                                     ACTUAL                              AVERAGE

Overcast, foggy, mix of rain and snow and 1C (33F). Starting tomorrow, the sun will make a long-overdue return, and temperatures are expected to reach 8C (46F) on Sunday! I'll be happy to see the sun, but this won't be good for the snow...

A quick 2-5 inches of snow is expected overnight. Unfortunately, the low is 32 so accumulations won't be very high. What does accumulate will melt later in the day.

Even when the temperature is 33, accumulations cannot be ruled out due to how heavy the snow is expected to be.

It rained most of the night, and then switched to snow around 6:45.  It's still snowing - supposed to stop around 11:00 - and we'll get a few inches at least.

Noon update:  The snow stopped almost an hour ago (as predicted) and the sun came out, so it has already started to melt off.

Rained all night here too. Just started snowing within the past five minutes as I type this. Big flakes that aren't sticking to anything. We live to the south of DC and our area is forecast to get maybe an inch of snow, though it looks likely to be less than that. The heavier snow was forecast for a band north of the District (which fits with the previous two posts in this thread).

Post by: webny99 on February 13, 2024, 10:03:03 AM
The snow looks to be tracking considerably further south than the initial projection. The northern edge of the band was supposed to be as far north as the Finger Lakes in NY but it didn't come close. It's currently near Scranton which was supposed to get a foot but may end up with just an inch or two instead. Meanwhile, much of the NYC area and Long Island is getting more snow than expected.

No, that's Philadelphia

Nevada is a very large state, with a lot of variation in elevation, so the weather varies a lot in different parts of the state. Reno/Carson City and the Elko area get a lot of snow in the winter. (Unfortunately I haven't yet been able to make it out of Clark County so I can't speak to that out of personal experience.)

As for Southern Nevada, the deserty part, it has been pretty sunny for the week and a half I've been here, though there have been clouds here and there. (On the way home from the grocery store today I got to see a dramatic example of clouds rolling over the mountains north of the valley, which was super cool.) Statistically, the cloudiest month is December, which has a 78% chance of sunshine, and the least cloudy is June, which has a 91% chance of sunshine. (By comparison, in Rochester you have a 28% chance of sunshine in December, and a 68% chance in July, so you would probably find it to be noticeably more sunny than what you're used to.)
Title: Re: What's your weather currently?
Post by: webny99 on February 21, 2024, 09:43:13 PM
^Makes sense, my perception (and probably many people's when thinking about Nevada writ large) is mostly based on the desert parts of the state. And of course, more sunny than I'm used to is an easy bar to clear!
Title: Re: What's your weather currently?
Post by: Scott5114 on February 21, 2024, 10:00:40 PM
That's the funny thing about Nevada—most people think of Southern Nevada first, which makes sense because that's where the largest city is. But for the first half of the state's existence, all of the population was in Northern Nevada, which is where all the silver (and water) was, and thus was the logical part of the state to settle first.

Las Vegas becoming the state's largest city was more or less the result of a whole bunch of historical accidents that wouldn't happen if certain things hadn't lined up the way they did (like Arizona picking the wrong horse in the civil war, Hoover Dam being built where it was, the surrounding states having stricter laws, etc.).

Well, Punxsutawney Phil did predict an early Spring this year.  So, considering his accuracy over the last half-century has been about 1 for 3, I shouldn't doubt a coming snowstorm or two.  This is confirmed by the fact that he rarely predicts an early Spring and, when he does so, he's right approximately half the time.

That said, the mountains have been getting a decent amount of snow, which is great for the ski industry and for fire prevention, etc.

Other than that three day cold snap, our next lowest high was 21° F on November 25th.

Our first day of this season with a day that didn't get to 32° F or higher was October 30th. There have only been 10 such days out of a possible 129, for 7.8% of days.

The equinox is approaching, that means it's skyline at sunset season on NY 286.   :cool:

Today and tomorrow are heavenly for mid-March, then it gets progressively worse heading into next week.

61° today and then expecting 8" of snow on Thursday. If you don't like the weather in Colorado, wait five minutes (or two days).

72°F and sunny right now in Wichita, and then expecting ... basically more of the same on Thursday.  The lowest temp in the upcoming forecast is Sunday night, and even that's just a few degrees below freezing.

I'll take it!   :nod:

It was as high as 73 degrees where I'm at, with lots of sunshine today.

Tomorrow, Thursday and Friday are projected to be over 70 as well. Friday being a high of 76.

Snow forecast has moved up to 12-21" across the metro. And Spring snow here is the wet, sloppy stuff as opposed to the powder we get in February and before. Much more annoying to shovel.

In Gunnison for the week. Only 1-2 inches of snow over the next two days, not much compared to Denver.

I'd also like to point out some of the weird place names that show up on that map.

Maybell, Karval, and Cope are strange choices.

Hey, I know Cope.  I remember it from childhood, as the town you'd better slow down for, because it drops to 35mph and that's where the town gets its revenue.

But you don't often have unincorporated CDPs with populations of 53 on a statewide map.

True, but it is useful from a driver's perspective.  The pickings are pretty slim on US-36 between I-70 and the Kansas state line.  Maybe Idalia would have been a better choice, but Idalia's weather would be more easily inferred from that of Burlington and Wray.

Now seeing a forecast where Evergreen is supposed to get 61". That's insanity.
Title: Re: What's your weather currently?
Post by: hotdogPi on March 14, 2024, 08:31:24 AM
We continue to have a whole bunch of days above average. Climate says 44. Weather has at least that number for the next ten days, with several in the 50s and today at 61. Similar for the previous 10 days.

This time of year, high temperatures typically correspond with rain. Today at 61 does not.

I don't know if this is luck or what, since the previous summer also had more bearable temperatures than average (essentially a moderating effect), not higher temperatures.

I stayed the night near Salida and ended up getting about six inches of snow last night. The drive home should be... fun.

About 8" of snow so far here whereas the airport, about 14 miles from me as the crow flies, got nada. Seeing reports that some areas in the foothills are already up to 30".

They're not all within 25 miles of the same point. For every place in that area, there is a 30% chance of hail that size or larger.

I think ozarkman was using "a point in the Ozarks" to refer to his own location, but the area where it applies is much larger than that.

Just finished shoveling. Took about two hours total. The deepest spot I measured on my driveway was 16", so we probably got about 18" total. Now it's 40° and mostly sunny.

Snowing pretty hard here. It's 37 degrees so it's melting as soon as it hits the ground, but still a jarring sight.

Places north and northwest of Chicago got upwards of 8 inches.
