April 26, 2011 10:23 P.M. Hey everybody, I know I haven’t posted for the longest time, but those of you who know me know that I’ve had a ton on my plate and I simply have not had the time to keep this blog up. Everything is starting to settle down and I will have […]
Long-term Forecast Uncertain
Thursday, March 24, 2011 3:12 P.M. Hey everybody, short blog today since there really isn’t much going on and the forecast models that I have access to, the NCEP (National Center for Environmental Protection) GFS and NAM models, aren’t painting anything interesting for the future. We have a weak deformation zone over the area, which […]
Drier!
Monday, January 20, 2011 11:57 P.M. This has to be a quick post, as I am doing tons of hw (I am SO excited for the semester to be over!) but it is mainly just an update to let you know I am still blogging. Although we have a couple flood watches now, it will […]
Pacific Storm Train Ramping Up?
October 17, 2010 Hey everybody, thanks for continuing to read my blog, it means a lot. I know I’ve not been writing for a while, that generally means I just have a bunch of homework to do, as was the case this past week. I still have a ton of homework to do, but I […]

In October, when the northern […]

July 2009
July 30, 2009 4:03 P.M. Today went as expected; highs were again near 100 or above near the foothills, but temperatures were in the 60s at the coast due to a strong onshore flow. For the rest of us in between, highs topped out at “only” the mid 90s. There aren’t many situations where you […]

June 30, 2009 9:35 P.M. Nothing new to talk about today. Tomorrow, I’ll talk about pyrocumulus clouds. Without looking up the term, post what you think they are on the wall. I’ll see how many people read this. 🙂 June 30, 2009 6:36 P.M. So I actually wasn’t able to talk to professor Mass today, […]
February – May 2009 (Sporadic Forecasts)
May 12, 2009 9:18 PM For some reason, the atmosphere failed to really destabilize, and the expected thundershowers failed to flare up. Tomorrow, in the plains, there will be a huge outbreak of severe weather. I suggest you read about it in the blogs on accuweather.com. May 11, 2009 6:38 PM Just like the passage […]
January 2009
January 25, 2009 3:36 P.M. There was a little snow this morning and right now, but it isn’t really amounting to much. It will continue a little longer and taper off this evening. Again, no accumulations are expected outside of a half inch on grassy areas on the highest hills. Of greater interest to most […]
December 2008 (Lots of snow discussions!)
December 30, 2008 This is a very difficult forecast to make. First of all, tonight and tomorrow, it will be rainy and windy. A winter storm warning is in effect for the mountains for 1-2 feet of snow. A typical winter storm… that’s pretty much it.The forecast for Thursday is SO complex and SO complicated. […]
