Drips on the camera

This is a huge moisture plume for the central US

Hurricane Nolo is cranking!

I guess it is raining on the football game

storm name "Marco" is on this year's list for the Atlantic. It would have been a huge coincidence if Marco and Polo were named storms at the same time.

looking upwards to Long's earlier today

Recent passes of Hurricane Polo show flight-level winds around 150kt and pressure values of 909mb or a bit less. The TropicalTidbits satellite view now has a 914mb pressure shown. (not sure if this is the official value)

I got to give you props for pulling up this old satellite image!

This is like a once-in-a-lifetime view of Pacific systems

The jet stream has broken down in to some strange patterns today, with a north flow over the Great Lakes, south flow over the Rocky Mountains, blocking high over Quebec

I guess these temps were like mid-July

Polo

Marco

I'll trade you 2" of rain for a low dew point. I've got extra. I just want a dew point of like 30 or something, really.

The NAM was not that accurate with a lot of precipitation for a long time. But you gotta love the severe weather soundings when it said 3000 J/kg when the GFS said 1500 J/kg.
