How to forecast ~climatology 101.

Glad to see some things moving forward.

There is precedent for such things. 😁 www.researchgate.net/publication/...

I chased that event in south central Iowa back in the day. Two waves of storms; second was a very fast moving broken line of supercells that resulted in the Delta fatality. Got cut off by Lake Rathbun and that doomed us. Storms eventually produced the Barneveld WI F 5 later that night.

He doesn’t have the authority to do that. Of course, same could be said for DOGE and a 100 other things he did.

But whose counting. šŸ¤”šŸ˜®

You know if I lived there just once I’d have to mow after midnight just to say I did it. Having said that, electric mowers are much quieter than their gas counterparts.

Actually we’re moving to a new house next month so we’ll be starting to write a new book. I’ll document the process along the way.

Thanks! I’ve never been one to hold back. Wish I could do more to help NWS and the greater NOAA.

Thank you. Pleased to have been a small part of that story which puts a human face on the staffing cuts.

Yes. All photos unless otherwise stated are from my garden. Thank you.

It’s all about the grift. Grift, influence, and power-lust and bringing out the true MAGites in Amurica.

What’s the variety? I had some like that volunteer in my veggie garden.

How about Zenith Z19s and Z89s connected to a Data General S140. Welcome to 1985 when a 10 mb hard drive was big.

Blue text instead of green prior to AWIPS.

Yep, and my response meant that 30+ years ago the old computers known as AFOS had blue type and blue line graphics. Also plaid flannel never goes out of style. 😁

I have used a green screen since the 1980s when the word processor of choice was SuperWriter. And for the record, the AWIPS precursor, AFOS, had a blue screen.

One of my favorite tornado-related radar products as it easily and clearly depicts trends with little effort needed for mental processing, i.e., fast and east to interpret.

I understand the forward to the book was written by ChMartz.

There is so much great learning info there for meteorologists in all sectors and serious hobbyists. Truly one of the great partnerships to have evolved out of the NWS Modernization.

I have a presentation on this topic for Master Gardeners. Impacts are quite observable and there are actions they can take to help mitigate them. Thanks for sharing.

Actually the radon issues in the state stem from soil geology, and is one area humans have not contributed to making worse. See uihc.org/health-topic...

But let’s not feed them lunch over the summer. šŸ™„

Fog or smoke? Down here it’s smoke.

And it’s not like we can’t do tariffs if Congress would get off their thumbs and this guy would show some leadership in the House.

Back in the day, the amateur radio storm chasers for the Denver NWS would refer to them as hypermorphs aloft when communicating to the office. 😁

Remember when these used to be unique and rare, even curious, events instead of a routine part of summer.

Most movies made in 1939.

Just had a radon test for our house and came in just under the key threshold. You can get one for about ~$150. The basement is where radon risk would be most problematic relative to the rest of the house if it is a problem at all.

Would be great to get some water balance studies going out there to look at soil moisture and plant water use.

One of Iowa’s finest. šŸ™„ So is this one who voted for the cuts, but still these ads are running for her.

Good luck in the job search. Hearing rumors of an impending retirement at WHBF here.
