  1. Centralia, in down-state Illinois, seems like a pleasant spot today....94/81.
  2. Nah, I'm bad luck. It never snows when I start the thread.
  3. Do we dread August so much that we will eschew the monthly thread?
  4. I drove through Monterey a few days later. Amazing to see acres upon acres of trees snapped like matchsticks about 15' off the ground.
  5. As I understand the AI models, they do initialize with the same data as the physical models....radiosonde, satellite, etc. So they aren't completely "anti-physics". The AI models already seem to be ahead of the physical models in many respects, although in my entirely empirical observation, the physics models are still better within a few days. A blend is indicated now, but I agree, quantum computing will change everything.
  6. Why the skepticism? Even at ECMWF, they say the AIFS beats the ECMWF in the majority of cases. They do feel that the physics-based models are better at handling the extreme events, which makes sense, in that extreme events have little historical precedent. It would seem that a combination of the two is the best approach now, but I would look for AI to become the go-to soon. Then comes quantum computing, ha ha!
  7. Enjoy the heat and dews while you can. The Captain has come over the intercom and asked us to extinguish our smoking materials and put our seats in the upright position. Our descent into autumn has begun!
  8. AI has been rock solid. Are you still using physics-based models?
  9. Pretty good model agreement that summer comes to an ignominious end in about a week. We break the backbone! Jeez I hate summer.
  10. One hell of a cell south of LI. Almost constant lightning.
  11. Damn, I was working landscaping in August of 77. Must have been brutal.
  12. Interesting article in today's NYT on AI forecasting. Although, I had to laugh at the author's statement that "the NWS forecasts have fallen behind those of the European Centre"....like this is a new development. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/13/business/windborne-weather-noaa-cuts.html?unlocked_article_code=1.WU8.dSgd.U1XxjVdMfQ3a&smid=url-share
  13. So, for the last four decades winter storms have shifted away from the east coast? How much of our taxpayer funded grant money went into this load of shit? Don't get me twisted, I am not denying that the earth is warming....different issue....but WTF is this?
  14. I was in Westport that evening. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out why we had 35mph winds of hot air from the SW blowing toward the thunderstorm cell....it was massive inflow.
  15. The echoes over CT seem to be getting sheared to the NE. Is that even a thing with Tstorms? I might also think it is good ventilation. Any thoughts?
  16. I am seeing modest troughing to our west, with a lot of S-N flow over the seaboard. I will go with AN, but with t-shirt drenching humidity. I would prefer hot and dry, with New England along the ring of fire, or course.
  17. Visible sats show Greenwich, CT, on west already burnt off. This fog is toast.
