Friday, August 28, 2015 11:36 pm Most of our wildfires are actually started by lightning, but that doesn’t mean you can have a tannerite party during a red flag warning., Hey everybody! I’m finally back from summer camp, and while I had an amazing time there, I am very excited to sleep in my own […]
A Review Of The Windstorm
Wednesday, December 17, 2014 1:46 pm Last Thursday night, right after I had finished my final, my mom and I decided to trek up to Sandy Hook, which is a little coastal community situated on Cultus Bay on the southern tip of Whidbey Island, to catch what ended up being the biggest windstorm of the […]
Major Windstorm Tomorrow?
Wednesday, December 10, 2014 12:30 pm I’ve got one more final tomorrow at 11:30 am, but here I am, blogging away my anxiety. Why on Earth would I put 40% of my grade on the line to write a stupid weather blog (and yes, I’m going to need all the time I have to study […]
A Historic Storm
Sunday, November 9, 2014 5:04 pm Every once in a while, a storm so unbelievably massive, so breathtakingly powerful, and so horrendously destructive appears in the models that you literally go into cardiac arrest. This is one of those storms. I’ve seen many crazy, crazy storms in the models. I’ve seen gigantic 930 hPa “bombs” […]
Windstorm on the Way
Saturday, October 25, 2014 1:12 p.m. First off, sorry for not being the most punctual poster as of late. I was actually recently contacted by the University of North Carolina of all places to write a weather blog using some of their graphics for WeatherOn. I really hope it will put uss “On” the map. Get […]
It’s Been Eons!
Friday, January 10, 2014 7:42 p.m. Triceratops vs Tyrannosaurus rex. This makes Holyfield vs. Tyson look like a game of Kidz Bop. I wonder who got their ear bitten off. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinosaur It’s been eons. Well, OK, maybe we still have the same continents now as we did when it last rained, but it’s been at least […]
Windstorm Update #2
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, […]
Windstorm Update
Sunday, September 29, 2013 10:36 a.m. What are more delicious? Apples or mangoes? Mangoes, of course! They are juicier, sweeter, and slipperier than our state fruit. Also, they are imported, and just the thought of eating something that came from Thailand automatically makes it more delicious. Apples aren’t too bad though. They have anti-doctor properties […]
What Does the Model Say?
Saturday, September 28, 2013 10:49 p.m. I’m sure many of you are familiar with Ylvis’ international hit: “What Does the Fox Say?”. I’ve heard the song once or twice, and that’s one or two many times too many. The fox does not say “gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding” or “Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow.” The fox goes “WAArra!!!” Everybody knows that. So what’s […]
Sunday Surprise!
Sunday, April 7, 2013 1:03 P.M. 01:24 am PDT Sun 07 Apr 2013 – Langley Hill Radar Last night, a surprisingly powerful storm rolled through the area. It’s a shame that the brunt of it came while most people were sleeping, as I’m always down to watch a good storm, but I can get a […]
