ATMOS 301 (Final) – Deep Convection and Thunderstorms
Saturday, December 7, 2013 8:38 p.m. Well, I’m back! I’ve been through heck and back over the past few weeks with schoolwork, but I now have some time to write on this blog, and write I shall. OK, well that wasn’t really true. I actually have an atmospheric science 301 FINAL on Monday, and I […]
A Solid Day of Rain
Thursday, August 29, 2013 11:48 p.m. We got a quarter of an inch earlier this month, but we got nothing in July, and I don’t recall it raining very hard in June either. I was in Micronesia and it was plenty rainy there, but I don’t recall hearing of any torrential rains in Seattle. And […]
The Graceful Apocalypse: Part 2 – Synopsis, Repercussions, and Explanations
Sunday, August 18, 2013 11:38 P.M. Hey everybody. Sorry for not posting for a while… I had a seizure several nights back and screwed up my sleeping schedule, so I’ve just been really unorganized for the last few days. I’m totally fine now. Regular readers of this blog know I have epilepsy, and I talk […]
The Graceful Apocalypse: Part 1 – Basic Thunderstorm Knowledge
Tuesday, August 13, 2013 4:25 P.M. Last Friday night will rank up, at least in my mind, with some of the most memorable weather events in Seattle’s history. That means I’ll put it right up there with the Inaugural Day Storm, the Hanukkah Eve Storm (and associated torrential downpour), the December 2008 snow events, the 2007 Great Coastal Gale… […]
More Thunderstorms Tonight
Saturday, August 10, 2013 3:49 P.M. Good afternoon everybody! Hopefully most of you experienced that absolutely incredible lightning show last night. Thankfully, if you missed it, we’ve got another one stepping up to the plate. First off, let’s look at the radar. Thunderstorms are currently firing up across the area, with some particularly strong ones […]
Red Flag Warnings and Flash Flood Watches
Friday, August 9, 2013 1:35 P.M. Flash Flood in Gobi, Mongolia in 2004 – Uploaded by Wikimedia User QFL247 It would seem as though the current watches and warnings posted around Washington contradict each other. How can you be at risk of forest fires and flash floods at the same time? Rain mitigates the damage done by fires, […]
Wildfire Threat This Weekend
Friday, August 9, 2013 2:09 A.M. (Yikes!) I was absent the past week for a fishing trip in Canada and knew that Washington was expected to receive some rain. At the time I left, forecasts were calling for over an inch of rain in areas of Western Washington and perhaps up to FIVE INCHES in parts of the […]
An Electrical Storm
Wednesday, July 17, 2013 12:26 P.M. It’s all a matter of perspective. I had a long, meaningful conversation with a girl last night. It wasn’t under starlight, it was under partly cloudy skies. But hey, those were just as cool. She asked me why I wished for bad weather. I was confused; I never wish […]
Back in Seattle, Thunderstorms Tuesday, and Micronesia Days 24-25
Monday, July 15, 2013 10:45 P.M. Howdy everybody. I’ve been trying to readjust to Seattle time today, and I’ve taken a couple steps in the right direction. Today was not without its follies, however. I went fishing at the end of a street near my house, but I kept losing hook, line, and sinker because […]
