August 2025 General Discussion

[sbnwx85]

To be fair, the drama this week has me reading everyone’s posts during an otherwise slow stretch of weather.

June was boring, but the last several weeks have been one of our most interesting summer stretches in years.  The recent break has been nice, although it has remained somewhat humid.  That is finally over at about 9am this morning when the strong front moves through.

This board about to be quiet AF let’s just all accept it and enjoy the nice wx lol

Got lucky and got pegged by a rogue downpour early this morning and picked up a quick 0.16".

Was just perusing the models, and came across this 384 from the 12z GFS from yesterday. Pretty wild stuff. Looks like a late Oct run. 

How much did we pay for this? Just saying.  Wonder if we will see AI models really soon? Think that is being looked at, but funding will have to be allocated. I'm sure some private enterprises are working at having AI wx models. Will they be any better?? Hmmm....guess time will tell. 

To be fair any of the globals out that far could predict the Cubs winning the Super Bowl lol.  However the NHC did mention using Google DeepMind's forecast in a few of it's discussions on Erin (in an experimental capacity). I will say this. I'm strongly suspect of some the discussions coming out of our local office. They have a very "machine" like feel to them at times, especially on weekends. I'm sure it's coming big time. It's inevitable

0.35" from a stm that moved through last night bringing the monthly total to 0.91" which is well below normal. Today feels like late Sept wx moved in on a NW wind. Highs in the 60's(maybe low 70's) with 30's/40's for lows the next few days. Great football wx tho.

Too early for me.  50s at night is great, but not even reaching 70 in the middle of the afternoon is a bit much.  Plus lake effect clouds.
