Local Forecast / Re: July 2012 Playlist
« on: July 04, 2012, 11:15:37 AM »Instrumentals on overnight: pure prairie league - early morning riser , Timbuk 3 - sunshine, different cut of Love of Strings, Ben Kopec - Perfect Emotion , 2 songs off of 7and5s new album (see the road and walk, blue tomorrow) and a new Lynn Patrick songThose are pretty good songs, IMO.
I know it's still 5+ months away, but I just HOPE that the holiday playlist will have all of the traditional songs that TWC plays every year.

That's. Sad. My dad used to watch the Andy Griffith Show all the time when he was growing up, and used to watch reruns of them on tv from the 50's/60's. RIP Andy Griffith.

« on: June 30, 2012, 10:49:15 AM »The airport at Roanoke, VA measured a wind gust of 81 mph from this derecho. There are numerous trees down, power lines down, trees on top of mobile homes and vehicles, structures caught on fire due to hanging power lines, and so much more that I can't remember all the calls I received. I'm stunned that my apartment didn't lose power and that my vehicle was unharmed. The Blacksburg NWS was forced to use generator power for the radar and the office during this event to keep everything running. My sounding from this evening had over 3,300 J/kg of CAPE (tons of instability due to the record heat today) and over 1,900 J/kg of DCAPE (energy for downdrafts, hence the very strong winds we experienced). I sure hope everyone is okay.Wow, that must've been an experience!
After a high of 100 and a dew point in the low 70's in Monroe on Thursday (low-mid 100's in other southern Michigan locals), a sounding from rucsoundings.com showed >8,000 j/kg of CAPE but a lot of CIN that evening. Nothing fired off due to the cap, but if it would've of, it could of had extremely intense energy to work with, not to mention almost 40 kts of 0-6km shear. The front then slipped just south of me, keeping the instability/shear into Indiana/Ohio yesterday, where the derecho began to intensify. What a close call!

out of me.
Well from what I heard he is the 7th generation of daredevils in his family so he's definitely fearless. All I can say is Good Luck, he's gonna need it. He can't really afford to make one mistake.
