Hey everybody, I am in Europe, that is why I haven’t posted in awhile. I am currently in Genoa, Italy, and am having a good time. It is fairly hot and humid here, although it isn’t too bad. It is similar to Seattle on a muggy day. Seattle has a Mediterannean climate, so the weather […]
No Change in the Extended
Monday June 20, 2011 12:49 P.M. I just took a look at the GFS “Superensemble” model, which goes 16 days out. Although it is pretty much useless for actual forecasts 16 days out, it can show trends. Often times, the trends change every time, so there is no point in paying attention to the model. […]
Sunny, then Wet
Sunday, June 19, 2011 6:18 P.M. Yesterday was very cold and wet. Highs didn’t reach 60 in many places, and Seattle got close to a half inch of rain. That would be a pretty wet day for winter, and although it would be very mild as well, there have been warmer days in December and […]
Another Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood
Friday, June 17, 2011 1:08 P.M. I am loving this weather right now! Sure, it could be a little warmer, but it is nice and sunny outside, and that is definitely good enough to put me in a good mood. Just like the past few mornings, we had some morning clouds, but they were significantly […]
Trending Warmer
Thursday, June 16, 2011 4:55 P.M. Greetings everybody, now that I am graduated from high school I can continue writing on this blog more regularly. It may seem like we have been really cool and cloudy lately, but this is actually pretty typical June weather. The last few days have only been slightly cooler than […]
Warmer this weekend!
June 2, 2011 3:08 P.M. Hello everybody, I’m at the Garfield Community Center right now and for some odd reason I can’t post pictures to my blog at this time. Anyways, I have some good news! Next weekend will be our warmest weekend since September! Don’t get too excited, we aren’t getting into the 90s. […]
A Rather Cool and Unsettled Pattern
Friday, May 27, 2011 10:16 A.M. First off, as an addition to my last blog post, I thought I’d mention that Seattle gets tornadoes too, but they are very weak and are not part of supercell thunderstorms. Instead, they are called “cold-core” funnel clouds and come from localized areas of circulation within a thunderstorm. I […]
Tornadoes of 2011
We have, as of May 24th, seen 1,208 tornadoes this year, and there was a significant tornado outbreak yesterday and another smaller one today. That is absolutely incredible. The average for the entire year in the U.S. is 1274, a record we will surely break. At this rate, it is also highly likely that we […]
Quick Update
May 25, 2011 5:58 P.M. Hi everybody, I actually wrote a segment on tornadoes a while back, but it is on my Garfield High School account at school and I keep spacing on bringing it home, but I’ll be sure to get it tomorrow. Expect a long lengthy segment on tornadoes this season tomorrow. I […]
I’m still here!
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 […]
