All Activity

Yeah really nice afternoon out there. Also one cold-season day wasted

This is a mortal lock because I won’t be around to enjoy it

1-5 is tough to come back from. They have the bye and then the Bears and Dolphins. If they beat both(they should) then they are 3-5 and have a pulse. I just think this team has a lot of issues with coaching, discipline and accountability, so I don't think they are capable of reeling off a bunch of wins. Realistically they can only lose 2 more to have a shot at the division.

euro looking moist and mild

Euro totally crapped the bed for Sunday

Always be wary of the concern troll!

I'm for about any weather that sends the stinkbugs back into their holes.

It has been a truly exceptional period in the Gulf in terms of activity. It’s good to that conditions seem to have allowed a break, this final AEW pending.

For January, a PNA+ is all but necessary for big snowstorms. New York City's data: Looking at a wider lens that goes back to 1950 when daily teleconnection data became available, 75% of all January snowstorms (n=24) that brought 10" or more snow to Boston, New York City, and/or Philadelphia had a PNA+. All 15 January storms that brought 10" or more snow to at least two of those three cities had a PNA+. 90% of January storms (n=10) that brought 10" of snow to either New York City or Philadelphia had a PNA+.

Leaf color has hit the fast forward button all of a sudden the last 48 hours. A large maple that turns bright golden has went from fully green to 2/3rds turned since Wednesday.

Got an almost two week trial starting Monday and will be in prep all weekend on what is probably the best weekend of the year for foliage around here so...yay me.

*Epic Fall weather warning* from 2:00 pm until 6:30 pm this evening. If you're unlucky enough to be in an office building you need to evacuate ASAP to the nearest outdoor area.

Finally seeing 30s show up in my point forecast. Not sure if it will frost next week but I suspect it will on the day I'm predicted to get to 37. I'm usually cooler than forecast in the bowl I live in.

@dendrite was there a Plymouth NH ASOS that was discontinued?

A lot frost this morning in eastern North Carolina

That was 2021 Iowa. The team was undefeated going into that game. Please let it not be like that. I've suffered enough.

@bluewaveWhich composite were you using to show the increased Pacific jet since 2018-2019? It doesn't seem that evident here...not doubting you. Just looking for a graphic that illustrates it better.

50/50 shot is a can’t miss proposition.

12Z UKMET: still no actual TCG shown in textual output but 1007 mb low is E of Nicaragua headed slowly in the direction of Nicaragua. Don’t know yet if it will landfall there though. Run not finished. Edit: looks like it on 10/24.

Thanks for tagging me @WxWatcher007!! I’ll gladly help provide some insight. First, congratulations to your son opting to go for meteorology! It is a rigorous subject to study and master, but when you truly love something, you will give it your all to succeed and I have no doubt he will do that! No matter the case, if he ever has questions, creating an account here and chiming in on the Banter page will certainly help alert us and we can answer any questions! As for school choice, that is a big life decision and as you mentioned has multi-faceted criteria for picking what is best. Since you are in Virginia, HIGHLY recommend staying in-state with the current state of school cost. Unless there is a well planned and funded secondary source (509’s, inheritance, etc.) which is none of my business and what you can manage… I do recommend staying in your state of residence for lower cost burden. VA has multiple schools for Meteorology and the Virginia Tech program already has a history of putting out grads into the Weather Service and private enterprise. I actually now a few myself, and they are excellent meteorologists. It’s a great program, but does lack a Grad program, as previously mentioned. Having said that, the curriculum is still very respected and the masters programs, if you son is interested, can be accessed at other schools, including the ability to do it virtually!! Millersville University of Pennsylvania (My Alma Matter) has two online Masters programs geared towards Emergency Management or GIS. Mississippi State has an excellent program, as well as Western Kentucky University, University of Oklahoma, and others. The accessibility to have a Masters education is now easier than before, and each school has its niches to help wherever a grad student wants to move towards. Some Universities also have ties together due to professor influences (Millersville had connections to North Dakota University, Wisconsin-Madison, and Wyoming), and others do as well. There’s so many options at the end of the Undergraduate tunnel. My recommendation is staying in-state to save cost (VERY HELPFUL for the future for debt) and go from there. Virginia Tech is a great program and probably a top choice for VA, but UVA I believe also has a program and is also well respected! I hope this helps and good luck to your son and family choice on the next step!!

i don’t know why they even issue outlooks. they just look at a classic ENSO map and plot it.
