icebreaker5221 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Has anyone else seen this? http://forecast.weat...n=12&glossary=1 000 FXUS64 KOHX 180835 AFDOHX AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NASHVILLE TN 335 AM CDT SUN MAR 18 2012 .DISCUSSION...A WEAK SHORTWAVE OVER THE OH/TN VALLEYS CONTINUES TO TRAVEL NEWD...PUSHING MOST OF THE MID/HI LEVEL MOISTURE INTO THE UPPER OH VALLEY AND GREAT LAKES. THUS I HAVE SHOWN A DECREASING POP FOR TODAY AS THE DRIER AIR MOVES IN. I KNOW...I ENDED A SENTENCE WITH A PREPOSITION...BUT..ACCORDING TO "GRAMMAR GIRL" IT`S SOMETIMES OK TO DO THAT.{ LOOKING WEST...THE UPPER TROUGH ALONG THE WEST COAST IS LOOKING VERY BODACIOUS. FOR THE MIT GRADS...THATS DEEP...ENERGETIC AND NEGATIVELY TILTED. MOTHER NATURE PULLS MOST OF THE TROUGH NEWD THROUGH THE NRN ROCKIES/PLAINS. BUT WAIT...SHE FORGOT SOMETHING AND BY WED AM IT`S SITTING OVER THE SRN PLAINS. IT`S LIKE SHE DIDN`T BRING HER DOGGIE BAG AND JUST DECIDED TO DISCRETELY WALK AWAY. SO THE PILE OF...ENERGY...SITTING OVER THE SRN PLAINS EVENTUALLY PUSHES ENEWD INTO THE OH/TN VALLEYS ON THU NGT AND FRI. ON THU MORNING THE GFS AND ECM ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT ON THE POSITION OF THIS CUTOFF LOW. BUT THAT DOESN`T LAST LONG. THE ECM INVENTS A VIGOROUS WAVE IN THE NRN STREAM TO DROP THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES AND PUSH THE LOW TOWARD THE SE COAST BY SAT EVE. WHILE THE GFS... SORT KICKS THE CAN...ERR LOW...DOWN THE ROAD. LAGGING BEHIND ABOUT 24 HRS. MY CRYSTAL BALL IS IN THE SHOP FOR REPAIRS...BUT RECENT STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT THE ECM VERIFIES A BIT BETTER...SO I HAVE SHOWN A DECREASING POP ON SAT AND DRY ON SUN. MORE GOOD NEWS...TEMPS FOR FRI-SUN WILL DROP TO ONLY 5-8 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL INSTEAD OF THE CURRENT 15-20 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL. WELL THAT`S ALL THE METEOROLOGY MY LITTLE BRAIN CAN MUSTER AT THIS EARLY HOUR. CIAO. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

Eskimo Joe Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I wish more AFD's were written like this. Informative, yet humorous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxictwister00 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Very funny! I like when AFDs can be written in a light and humorous way during what I call dull periods of weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugo Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I'd kill to see ILM put out one like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrgjeff Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 The crystal ball and ECMWF part is awesome! The MIT sentence is my second favorite. Nashville is a good office. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioguy3107 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I thought it was pretty funny myself, but you have to wonder if they were a little inebriated.....definitely strange, that's for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathertree4u Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Especially was fond of the "So the pile of..." bit. Was a very odd post but if you have read them, like most of us have, for years, it was refreshing to see the information presented in a humorous way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookout Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I liked it. It reminds me of some of the Birmingham afds are like. There is one there (can't remember his name), who is just funny as hell, coming up with lines like he did...and he does it all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as the meat is in the AFD a bit of garnishment is fine with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's good to see some humor in the AFD once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bozart Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 you have to wonder if they were a little inebriated That's the problem. Any Weather Service transmission that makes anyone "have to wonder" that...is a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugo Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 That's the problem. Any Weather Service transmission that makes anyone "have to wonder" that...is a problem. One must be inebriated to have a sense of humor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
