Weather, Climate, and Other Science Topics
FINALLY, after several days of coding and several months of troubleshooting, WeatherTogether has its own model charts! Before I go any further, I have to thank Quinn Abrahams-Vaughn for writing some html and javascript pages to get me started with model visualization and Derek Hodges for his guidance on shell scripting and crontabs to automatically […]
Sunday, September 29, 2013 11:27 p.m. Hey everybody, this is just going to be a quick post because I gots to go to bed soon. Anyway, the GFS was correct and the NAM was not. The NAM is often called the “Never Accurate Model” for that very reason. We still have high wind warnings up, […]

Now that I am an official UW student, I figure I might as well advertise the super-ultra-awesome mesoscale modes at the University of Washington Department of Atmospheric Sciences Website. There are two main models that the University of Washington runs. These are the NAM (North American Mesoscale) and GFS […]
Sunday, November 21, 2010 12:28 P.M. Hey guys. Some of you saw some snow flurries this morning. Some of you did not. It depends on where you live and your elevation. I say some flurries but no accumulation. It was pretty though. Let’s discuss snow probabilities. I read Cliff Mass’ blog the other night and […]

The American models, the GFS and the NAM, have been forecasting a large low pressure system to bottom out in the Gulf of Alaska at around 950 millibars, sending a strong front right into our area. This is […]
Thursday, April 1, 2010 12:05 A.M. So there’s a weak storm coming in later today. Not much to talk about. APRIL FOOLS!!!
