Thursday, September 29, 2011 9:47 P.M. There isn’t much to talk about weatherwise… the models are still forecasting a warm day today with highs in the low to mid 70s and mostly sunny skies, with nice conditions Friday as well. We will see a weak system blow on through on Saturday, with cooler conditions Sunday. […]
The Coastal Radar is Up!
September 21, 2011 10:44 P.M. 11:59 pm PST Sun 02 Dec 2007 Radar Image The above picture was taken around midnight on Monday, December 3, 2007. I remember the day of this storm because it was one of the strongest storms I have ever seen in my life. This storm has since been known as […]
Green Flash
September 19, 2011 3:39 P.M. “It was the best green flash I’ve ever seen” – Mila Zinkova, Santa Cruz, CA, January 29, 2006 I’ve written two entries on interesting phenomena that I’ve seen this summer. I have seen Kelvin-Helmholtz waves and a massive superior mirage, and you can see my posts on those. This year, […]
Mirages!
Thursday, August 4, 2011 9:51 P.M. As I was taking the ferry back from Victoria the other day, I took the picture above. I was seeing a mirage! I had always seen those common road mirages before, where the sun hits the road and it looks like there are black oil slicks ahead of you […]
Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability
Tuesday, August 2, 2011 11:01 P.M. I was recently in Europe touring with my jazz band. Everything was wonderful; the people, the culture, the sights, and the music were all fantastic. However, I also noticed some very interesting weather. While nearly all the trip was hot and sunny, there were some interesting cloud formations that […]
Our Natural Air Conditioning and Marine Push
Monday, August 1st, 2011 3:37 P.M. Marine Push(up) When people think of Seattle, they probably think of coffee, bad sports teams, and people with webbed feet. They probably don’t think of air conditioning. However, we can get pretty hot in the summer. I remember a couple years back at Sea-Tac when the mercury hit 103 […]
Short Weather Forecast , Nuclear Power, and Japan Tsunami
Thursday, March 17, 2011 12:28 P.M. There isn’t really much to talk about today. We have seen some strong thunderstorms over the past few days, but those will come to an end. We will see a minor storm on Friday that may cause some instability and some showers, but it won’t be anything major. After […]
Nuclear Energy
Wednesday, March 16, 2011 12:33 P.M. Hello everybody, today I am not going to talk about weather. Instead, I am going to talk about nuclear power. The fission and fusion of atoms can cause massive destruction. If I remember right, the largest hydrogen bomb, the Tsar Bomba, which was detonated by the Russians in 1961, […]
Our Dilemma
Tuesday, January 11, 2011 8:26 P.M. Thankfully I don’t have this dilemma. Who would possibly want to go to college? I have to make this quick, as additional homework warrants priority, but I just felt like I needed to have a quick note to explain what is going on and all the hype that […]
Memorable Weather Experiences
I’m copying everything down from the facebook blog to this, just to have everything on this since I am now officially using it. Here is a quick discussion topic I did back like 2 years ago. Charlie Phillips Windstorm? Flood? Snow-day? If something was memorable, share it with us! Tom Longabaugh: my dad went out […]
