All Activity

I got the TP ready.

I didn't see this posted but the recent cool period had some cool stats (no pun intended).

Lol. I'm out of the summer touch at the moment. 84/62 is kicking my butt for some reason... probably due to the extended cool period. I'm screwed aren't I.

CRAP never had a good day.

Had that happen to me in FL, Storm west of 95/FL Turnpike, so I went to a site east of 95 and boom, nice CG hit. Never far enough away!

Gonna be a hot , sweaty install . Hydrate often

Enjoy couches and chairs stuck to bodies and walking with you to kitchen I guess? Crazy

This is why technology is a blessing and a curse. On the curse side of things, there is no such thing as fundamentals anymore because computers can do all that. But if something were to ever happen say with computers and internet, we'd be screwed as a society because nobody would know how to do things manually anymore. When I was in high school I wanted to double major with accounting/meteorology. Accounting came as a mistake. In 8th grade it was time to pick classes for high school and pick two electives. Me being young/stupid was looking for easy. So, I selected a class that I thought was acting (the course code was Acct). Anyways, that class turned out to be my very first class of high school and I walk into the room and remember thinking, "umm this doesn't look like it would be for acting". Anyways, turned out it was accounting and I was the only freshman in a class with juniors and mostly seniors...I ended up sticking with it and loving it so all my electives geared towards business. But I enjoyed it...balancing sheets and ledgers, etc. Anyways, fast forward to when I went to community college about 12 years ago. I took accounting again...it was worlds different. In high school, we did everything by hand in a book. This class was all automated...all computer. My point with this long story is...even in the business world, I don't think anyone would probably know how to do a balance sheet by hand or balance a check book by hand if needed, computer programs do this stuff now. Kind of sad

Still not installed. Probably tonight or tomorrow morning. Tomorrow and Friday gonna be heaters.

I'll do upstairs today. Will do downstairs when heat and dews are more prolonged. Upstairs gets warm, but downstairs cools off in the evening with a good breeze.

77/56 under hazey/smoky sky.

Any few lingering , poor souls out there that haven’t installed yet? You wouldn’t imagine there is, but guarantee there’s 1 or 2 that will claim window fans blowing pine pollen and smoke around and the house is cool and comfortable.

I started pretty negatively last year, too, but the latter portion of the calucaltion swayed it...see what happens this year.

OH I'm sure... I remember Met Lab ... we used to get maps that contained just the 500 mb T, Td and wind velocities. Then, knowing that 1 inch on the chart was ~ = 10 kts, we had to draw all the 500 mb isotachs zomb Determine the dots, then connect the dots, on steroids ( there was more to it than this ... ) Met students today? I bet they don't need to know that. All they need to know is how to get chatGPT to create a facsimile that has a very high simulacra value, thus fooling the professor into believing it was done by an actual human being.

Smoke is definitely affecting our temperatures in W MA. 78° under hazy skies.

Smoke / haze has cleard NJ and most of the 5 boroughs slowly fading east. Tomorrow clouds from the mess around N-FL - GA could drift north - we'll see if any impacts on us as a potential limiting factor on highs.

I wonder if the K Index isn't widely used anymore just because of the advancement of additional tools and indices? Another one that rings a bell is the Craven Brooks Sig Severe Index or the SWEAT Index. IIRC, the K Index was actually quite decent. But now everyone just runs to supecell composite/sig tor parameter and looks at the hazard type on the SHARPpy soundings

I’ve forgotten more 90’s rap than any that you’ve ever known. That was my hey day of rap. Back when it was good. Not the shit out today

Noon Round up New Brnswck: 82 EWR: 82 LGA: 80 ACY: 80 NYC: 79 TEB: 79 PHL: 79 TTN: 79 BLM: 78 ISP: 74 JFK: 72

82/54 here.

Back in the heady days of college ... there was a convective index known as the K. The K index ...basically it's a calculation that describes how quickly an unstable environment blows its load. I just never hear it mentioned anywhere over the years. A high K index ends up being a self destructive convection sequencing more lateral rains ... Low is like a 4000 SB-CAPE sitting under -3 CIN. Oh here it is, K is George's indiex ( or K ) and the Ts and Td are at respective sigma levels ( pressure) K-index values vs. Thunderstorm Probability Less than 20 None 20 to 25 Isolated thunderstorms 26 to 30 Widely scattered thunderstorms 31 to 35 Scattered thunderstorms Above 35 Numerous thunderstorms

WPC shifted the expected heavier rainfall over the next week westward over the past 24 hours...yesterday the LSV was in the purples, today it's moving west!

Was 81 now down to 78 with a breeze. Beautiful day. Being a bit further south makes the hot days more bearable

Twenty past noon and 86 in my backyard. Might seriously make a run at the first 90 of the summer season today.
