Re: May 2024 Weather Discussion

12Z NAM clips our SW counties with some of the heavier convection but otherwise the rest of it is south of us. Some nice trends so far today folks if the data is correct . Good, this means that I can take a long nap afterwork and not worry about tornado sirens going off and no alerts coming from my...

Re: Earthquake and Volcano activity

I experienced this one first hand. I could feel and hear it for I would say about 15 seconds. I was inside at the time and at first thought it was probably a airliner passing over fairly low or something. the one last Friday was the strongest I have ever felt. Wow! Did you see anything moving / sha...

Re: April 2024 Weather Discussion

Also... I looked at the raw text data from the 12Z GFS and looking at CVG.... if you add up the QPF being shown by the model from now thru 5/5, it is a measly 0.77" This is typically our wettest time of the year. Not good IMO.... That model always wants to fool us towards the end of the run sh...

Good morning all! 0.23" at CVG so far from this system. 0.21" at the Boone Co mesonet site and I have 0.24" here. Most of the rain is done minus our SE counties. Temps are around 60 this morning and will remain steady or rise into the low 60s at best today. The front will kick up the...

Re: Re: Monday April 8th Solar Eclipse

Thanks, I just saw a video out of Indi and was practically the same what I saw, but 2 minutes longer. I'll never forget this experience! :)
And I'll never look at a partial eclipse again with the same enthusiasm! Lol

Re: Monday April 8th Solar Eclipse

12Z GFS still wants to bring a warm front thru on Monday, a little bit of again then a stalling cold front Tues / Wed. I am still thinking that we will see cloudy skies for the big event. Not sure about rainfall as of yet. Still, we have plenty of time to iron this out and won't be able to do so un...
