Typhoon Tip

I cannot help but feel a semblance of ownership violation ... I started talking about this years and years ago - primarily on social media so ... cheers. But in reality ... these "discoveries" or connections or whatever are seldom coming from a single revolutionary voice - they only seem to. You know? - like fire became an instrument to humanity at the same time, all over the planet. Point being, this connection was was likely going to happen simultaneously.

Perhaps - You know? there's a real-time, existential aspect about this presently that I find really interesting. We are at the top edge, perhaps witnessing global warming in the moment. Normally,the state of a planetary day is one beneath that edge at any given time. We are reading about when x-y-z record occurred in the past ... how then the global mean rose(fell). Perhaps this is perfect timing, emerging a synergistic feedback from two forces that are causing a short term ( we hope) acceleration at an entire planetary scale. I mean, we're not talking about quadrature, this is whole world in the midst of a gaudy spark ... truly instantaneous in geological time scales. I've often mused in here in the past, and elsewhere ... the biggest problem with humanity's acceptance ( though that's changing, finally - still not fast enough) was always the abstracted nature of climate change. It simply doesn't directly appeal to the physical senses. If you tell a person to move off the train track because you happen to know a train is coming around the bend very soon, the person doesn't react to move off the track. No. They first hesitate to observe the approaching locomotive - then, they might move depending upon the result of confirmation. However, obviously if they are warned to move off the track while the train is clearly visible and is audibly unmistakable, they don't wait to gather in their senses in the matter they move f- off with certain haste. Humanity is like that with climate change. We're in this ominous period of looking around and listening, trying observe a phenomenon that only until quite recently ... was utterly unknowable beyond climate statisticians and advanced predictive modeling ..etc. This whole 'denial' - more like apprehension to belief - phenomenon is perhaps more a biological/evolutionary issue than it really is about denying. Denying is/was always temporary, ... while "slow response to threat mechanics in large groups" plays out, and is just a manifestation of a very intriguing hypothesis *(to me) The advent in human evolution for ingenuity and "math," outpaced the human evolution for how it is our biology samples reality.

Oh, you meant 72 hrs/Monday... sorry Scott I thought you guys were talking about the generality later next week. woke up with a headache this morning -

don't be surprise if the whole thing evolves into a second installment of Bahama Blue circulation type, too

Couple deg cooler T tomorrow but a couple deg warm DP 94/72 was the max here in Ayer … typical garden DP padding … most NWS sites were bouncing between 69 and 71. 90/74 tomorrow

I wouldn't trust the spatial layout so much ... Have to keep in mind ... especially beyond D7's ...the noise of 31 members or more tends to artifact that flow into a perennial layout, which features a modest ridge in the west and a flattish trough in the east - as a basal state. Throw in July's thermal component and that "tugs" ( for lack of better word) the member-mean too far west. But, by the time the D10 to 13 is say, D5 and we still end up with occasional ridge nodes neat St Louis, as well as sometimes WAR's for a reason. The noise masks the individual members that would have been right about heat expulsion east - cast in point, this 12z operational "member" at 300 hours ...bullshit by virtue of range, but it's definitely decoupled from the GEFs mean noise

Boston Light's up to 70 F ... S.C. buoys also near +- 70 F SST. That's a fast recovery in the past 2 weeks, right ? I could have swore we were held up in the low 60s

I don't pay as close attention to the temp idiosyncrasies wrt the NWS sites as you folk but it seems to me just over the years in general, that site has difficulty getting to 90 anyway. I mean not impossible, just that the 1000k/sigma elevation takes the 50 mb slope off the bottom of the sounding. I bet down town by the convention center it's over 90

I just think society et al doesn't take "heat" seriously. I mean it's gotta be buffalo balls hot before they even consider, while it's the number 1 killer of all direct weather threat categories. But particularly in this day and age ( otherwise known as 'end times' ) when this shit's statistically growing mortality ... I mean we're writing paragraphs about negative CAPE that kinda sort maybe has enough power to burst a severe gust when the real pervasive threat is all around. I think it's kind of condensed version of why CC takes so long for general civility to start reacting to it. Heat is invisible.. .humans, for all their conceits, are not much greater in evolution than the capability of 'monkey see monkey do' - if we can't see it ( same vein) we're not taking it seriously.

I think there should have been at minimum a heat advisory issued. This was clearly going to be like this, and yesterday snuck HI's to/over the 95 threshold, too - not sure I'm with NWS on this one.

right ... cuz brain amoebas'll put us out of our misery -

After having sampled the sear on a stroll down to the end of the street and back ... the rapidity of the sweat bead materialization, along with the appeal of that blue flaming sky through which penetrates a relentless sun ... ( yet, not a single f'n zephyr to be found), I can honestly say I have to go back to June of 2021 to match this is pig's ass appeal. 93/72

90/72 averaging home sites within a mile of my location. HI presently = 98 FIT's 88/68 ... Most NWS sites are 86 or 88 as of last hr using MesoW but that resource hasn't been doing the 5 minute intervals lately - unless they've changed the interface unknowing to me ...which is possible. Anyway, otherwise, the 10:50's 'll be out soon. -- actually it is showing the 5 m intervals now. wasn't yesterday My guess is FIT will be 90/67 or 91/67 ..they tend to be pretty close to my numbers. Hot day

I think it's circumstantial the more I look at this. I mean what you're saying yeah, but we also have really no way to evac the present theta-e mass over OV to NE region that's stagnating. I'm looking at the 582 non-hydrostat and it really fails to convincingly move E-S, despite the trough so it's not really a typical synopsis. It's a deep (ish) anomaly pressing into a theta-e anomaly, with cyclonic curve flow that has mid level speed shear. I'm starting to come around

actually

Is there some particular technique or just tech that's behind that assessment - other than synoptic experience? I realize there's an odd-ball anomalous buzz saw setting up N of Lake Superior and the non-hydrostats align parallel flow, so yeah...training can be inferred and so forth. But there aren't enough fingers to count on two hands over the course of a weather year how many times I see a parallel flow - why is this D5 so ominous? lol, it's liable to be right just because I'm asking but still

"No idea who you are but I hope you don't cheer on winter storms/ ice / etc. Because those injure and unfortunately kill more than these floods. " That is what I responded to. By providing the hard statistics in a bar graph, that was to inform that 'winter storms/ ice / etc' do not 'kill more than these floods' Not sure why you're typing 9's and 7's and 1' but okay -

Son... what the f* are you talking about. Your statement from before was flat wrong.

GFS has a 'synergistic heat bomb' ... perfect timing of a S/W/'sonoran' heat released right into a L/W synoptic ridge eruption ... Big one too, with non-hydrostats approaching 600 dm! Thankfully for their sake ( and probably those of us downstream), this is at the end of an operational GFS time range where is seldom realized. But I still find it interesting that these synergistic events are an elusive phenomenon ... difficult to forecast as they don't always materialize out of seemingly similar synoptic metrics - yet this run manifests one nonetheless...

Yeah this is a developing story - ... instrumentation/validation ongoing or not. Phys.org has been reposting para science (among a broad spectrum of others) on climate change for years. They don't 'change' the report content. And they also link to the source. So it is what it is... https://phys.org/news/2023-07-monday-global-hottest-day-tuesday.html For those reliant on invalidating ... bear in mind, if the curve is ascending, at some point in time, a given moment has to be the warmest ever. Otherwise...the slope of the curve is descending - ... If Monday or yesterday was not "caught in the act" ... tomorrow or the next day probably would have been.

85 /71 HI 89 ’10 after 10’ gives 94 … There may be some dewpoint recession during mixing but I don’t know if it’s gonna be sufficiently to stop the heat index from rising into the upper 90s if the temperature gets close. And we don’t even need 94 if it gets up to 91 or 92 on the dewpoint 70. not sure why we don’t have at least heat advisory’s in place even if it’s not pandimensional, it should be in locally headlines.

This is kinda cute ... the hottest actual day in history - https://phys.org/news/2023-07-monday-world-hottest-day.html

They mention it… But I wonder if they’re gonna end up a little bit low with the heat index for tomorrow - they think it’s gonna stop in the low 90s. both the GFS and the Nam are offering temperatures 89 to 92 with dpoints between 68 and 73 for an average HI of 98. Perhaps they don’t think these metrics are going to come together, but they also seem preoccupied with the flooding throughout which they should be… I won’t be surprised if in the morning update they put up a heat advisory.

False fyi-

That NAM solution came in quite hot. Not sure the populous is really used to what 92/74 feels like
