The Game Room / Let's tell a story!
« on: February 04, 2009, 04:59:48 PM »
Let's tell a story, each poster can only say one word and if needed a period, comma, etc.
For example, if I were to say "Once", then the next poster could say "upon" and the next can say "a" and so on.
If two people post at once, we will use whichever word was posted first.
No double posting please.
Get it? Ok here we go.

General Weather Chat / Change in Severe Weather Criteria
« on: February 04, 2009, 01:06:00 PM »
The Central region of the NWS is proposing chainging the severe threshold for hail from 3/4" to 1", and issuing significant weather alerts for hail between 3/4" and 1". I am for this idea because studies have shown that 3/4" hail does not really cause a lot of damage, and it would hopefully reduce the number of false alarms and the "cry wolf" effects that come from these.
However, I wish that if this were to happen, it would be an all or none thing, either everyone does this or no one, not just a region, because now how do you verify a severe thunderstorm warning? If Texas were to get a storm with 3/4" hail and a warning, it verifies, but if Nebraska were to get between 3/4" and 1" hail and a warning, the warning does not verify. Thoughts?

General Weather Chat / Severe Thundertorms Southern/Central Plains Early Next Week?
« on: February 04, 2009, 12:59:50 PM »
From the SPC, they are looking at severe weather across parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, and Arkansas on Sunday and Monday. http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/exper/day4-8/. Word around the office this morning is we may see some this far north as Omaha. I'm not sold on it at all, based on our forecast highs and the fact that it is February. We may see enough instability for storms, and maybe even some hail based on our temps, but so far I'm not sold at all on seeing severe storms here, I think they're "wishcasting".

General Weather Chat / Interesting Forecast Discussion
« on: January 31, 2009, 08:44:55 PM »
For the other weather buffs on here who read area forecast discussions from the NWS, here's an interesting snoppet from one from Nashville. I really love the very last sentence in here.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NASHVILLE TN
922 PM CST THU JAN 29 2009
OTHERWISE...MAIN FORECAST FOCUS WILL BE POTENTIAL WINTER STORM FOR
THE REGION MONDAY AND TUESDAY. ALTHOUGH WE MUST ALWAYS THROW IN
THE USUAL DISCLAIMERS ABOUT THE TRACK OF THE LOW..EXACT
TIMING...BLAH BLAH BLAH...IT PLEASES ME TO SAY THAT THE UPCOMING
SITUATION LOOKS LIKE A GOOD SETUP FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW. EVEN THOSE
WHO DO NOT LIKE SNOW (SHAME ON YOU) WILL HAVE TO ADMIT THE MODELS
HAVE BEEN PRETTY CONSISTENT SHOWING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE
UPCOMING STORM AND THE POTENTIAL FOR REAL SNOWFALL IN MID TN. WILL
EVERYTHING COME TOGETHER FOR A REAL SNOWFALL EVENT IN MID TN? TOO
EARLY TO TELL...BUT ALL MODELS SHOW ACCUMULATING SNOW OVER THE
AREA INCLUDING ALL MEMBERS OF GFS ENSEMBLES. THE 18Z GFS SHOWS BNA
GETTING BLASTED WITH ABOUT 9 INCHES OF SNOW. THAT WOULD ONLY BE
WISH CASTING AT THIS POINT...BUT IT/S FUN TO IMAGINE...AND WE ARE
CERTAINLY DUE! I PERSONALLY THINK THIS ONE WILL PAN OUT WITH AT
LEAST A FEW INCHES OF SNOW. BUT IF IT DOESN/T...AT LEAST WE CAN
ALL ENJOY THE UPS AND DOWNS OF EACH NEW MODEL RUN...AND WE CAN
SHARE THAT UNIQUE SOUTHERN BONDING EXPERIENCE OF FIGHTING FOR THE
LAST MILK AND BREAD ON THE SHELVES AS THE STORM APPROACHES.
Moderators, I just realized this may belong in one of the weather threads, move as you wish.
//Done.

General Discussion / Re: NBC Weather Plus Discussion
« on: November 16, 2008, 12:15:01 PM »
Weird thing last night, during SNL during a commericial it switched to the national feed of weather plus for about 20 seconds, then came back to the show. Our NBC affiliate never had weather plus so I wonder if it was NBC's feed.
