For those who don’t know what NCEP EMC does, they run our numerical weather prediction models on supercomputers, and do research on how to improve those models. The forecast on your smartphone is probably derived from a model that they ran. www.emc.ncep.noaa.gov/emc.php

50 years ago today, shortly after I began an interest in weather, I watched our barometer point to 28.90 inches of mercury in central Illinois (I've only seen that low a pressure once since then). I moved to Omaha, Nebraska ("blizzard of '75") a few years later. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_S...
