Looks like GOES 18 is being used as a fallback?

We have plenty of redundancy up there for GOES satellites.   Heck, there are even satellites up there launched over 15 years ago that are still operational and in use  GOES-15, launched in 2010, was the GOES-W satellite until 2018.  Then this satellite ownership was transferred to the DoD, and redesignated EWS-G2, and now sites at 62E.  So worse case if GOES-19 failed, we could move other satellites to take it place.

What a torch summer !

 

See how even a small temp bias can make all the difference when it comes to historical rankings?  Looking at the past few months, BOS temp is running around 1 F too warm.  So remove that bias, and BOS so far this summer is #5 warmest or higher.  Non-trivial difference.

Thick smoke was no inhibitor for the nasty training storms in cntrl NJ today.  And look at that CG density even zoomed up!  CoastalWx: "WHY CAN'T WE GET THAT HERE!?"

That’s been the biggest issue/ complaint of the majority of posters here and they refuse to change or fix it . My guess is it would be would cost them to upgrade so they’d rather not do it 

Only Boomers.

So simple a literal monkey can do it.

"These stupid board settings won't let posters upload full pictures and the admins are too cheap to fix it!"

Several posters proceed to upload a multitude of full-sized pictures. 

Too perfect.
