#national weather service
Text
I'm taking a skywarn class this evening; I might write about it later in my blog, regardless of interest. That being said I think I'll have a chance to talk to an NWS meteorologist. I'm all ears for good questions.

Excerpt from this New York Times story:
About 100 million Americans from California to New England were sweating through heat advisories and warnings from the National Weather Service on Wednesday, with a brutal heat wave across the central part of the country showing no signs of letting up.
Heat warnings and advisories were in place for parts or all of 28 states. People in the Southeast and the Southern Plains faced the most oppressive temperatures, with triple digits forecast for Wednesday and beyond across parts of Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana, said Andrew Orrison, a Weather Service meteorologist.
Oklahoma City broke a daily heat record dating back to the Dust Bowl era on Tuesday with a temperature of 110 — tied for the state’s highest-ever July temperature, the Weather Service said — and Austin is set on Wednesday to see its 40th straight day of highs over 100 degrees.
“These are definitely dangerous heat conditions,” Mr. Orrison said.
The Dallas area has seen 24 days of triple-digit heat so far this year, including 15 in July, and highs there are forecast to top 100 every day for the next week. The average number of 100-plus-degree days in Dallas for an entire year is 20, said Madison Gordon, a Weather Service meteorologist.
The extended heat and lack of rain has caused the ground to shift in Fort Worth, Texas, causing nearly 200 water main breaks over the last month. And Oklahoma’s largest ambulance service said earlier this week that it had seen a surge in heat-related health emergencies in Oklahoma City and Tulsa.
On the East Coast, heat advisories are in place along much of the Interstate 95 corridor from Philadelphia to Boston, as well as across parts of upstate New York and southern New England. Actual highs will be in the mid-to-upper 90s, while heat indexes will reach 105 degrees. With the heat expected to intensify through the weekend, several cities opened cooling centers for residents.
It’s difficult to blame any particular heat snap on climate change without extensive scientific analysis, but heat waves like the ones in Europe, Asia and North America this summer are typical of what scientists expect as the globe warms — more frequent, longer lasting and more dangerous.
Heat waves in the United States jumped from an average of two per year in the 1960s to six per year by the 2010s. And it’s all part of an overall warming trend: The last seven years have been the warmest in the history of accurate worldwide records.

I just learned there's an app that you can download called CrowdMag and it's a public science project! It's basically asking people to record the magnetic field using your phones built in magnetometer.
Here's a link on the NOAA website if you wanna check it out
They could really use the help filling in gaps in data!

if anyone wants to know why forcasts are off sometimes or why weather seems to be so hard to predict i highly recomend at least doing a basic dive into the way forcasts are made. the NWS has a great resource called jetstream that has so much of the various aspects of weather for people in an easier to read format (as in, its meant for the average person, not someone going to college format) and it’ll help you understand why things are harder than you’d think to predict.
in short, there’s a fuckton of variables, and they can change quickly. we can’t change the weather ourselves so we rely on past data and observations taken at certain times and conditions can change quickly.
and bonus, if you have some knowledge of things yourself, you can look at your local forecasts, the nws, etc and see if you think things might turn out slightly differently bc of where you are vs their station! and you’ll just have a better understanding of what they’re talking about anyways regardless!
(also reading the forecast discussions is HILARIOUS sometimes, the meteorologists can sound Judgemental of the weather on occasion and i love it.)

Ocean Temperatures Soar in Florida
Ocean temperatures are rising in Florida, threatening coral, contributing to humidity, and keeping the air from cooling at night.
According to the World Meteorological Organization, almost every day last week unofficially broke records for high temperatures. Japan reported that the global average temperature on Friday was half a degree (F) warmer than its past record hottest day, which was in…

Big Snow! Winter Weather Warnings in NorCal, Rain for SoCal
Apr. 21, 2022
I have gathered the best info I can from the impossible to read mainstream news (which insists that “drought persists” no matter how much rain we get) regarding this BIG storm which is already hitting Northern California. The entire west coast is getting rain and snow.
We will see rain overnight in Southern California with snow above 6000 feet. This means rain or wet snow for us here in SoCal mountains, but in the Sierras, you won’t want to be out and about! There will be as much as 4 feet of snow in some places. Add this to last week’s 3 feet in the Sierras!
Currently we are experiencing cold, high OR conditions in Southern California, with winds from the west. We do not have any weather warnings. In Northern California the National Weather Service has issued winter storm warnings and even tornado watches out of the NWS Sacramento.
