NASA’s SkyView Virtual Observatory is mentioned last because it is not a real telescope, although it acts similarly. All people in all states that have been mentioned in this statement should move to secure any outdoor objects and move pets indoors. Going off of this map alone, any tornado threat would likely be centered along the warm front, which could move as far north as central Illinois and central Iowa. We now move ahead to the morning of December 19th. We now see the ECMWF EPS has taken this system into the waters just offshore the New England/Mid Atlantic area. This means the positive Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) we have been seeing recently is losing its grip. But notice the massive high pressure regime in place across the Atlantic. To illustrate, take a look at the 120-hr forecast of sea level pressure from the ECMWF and U.S. Some new smartphones take continuous pressure measurements (as a way of getting height)–can you imagine if that data was communicated to a central site in real-time? Analytic Syntax: Use the analytic syntax to score the data without a pre-defined model. U.S. global model lagged badly behind the predictions of the European Center for Medium Range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF) .

Just considering the machines shown in the figure, climate simulation has about FIVE HUNDRED TIMES the computer power available for operational weather prediction. U.S. machines available for climate research (overwhelming used for long-term climate simulations). I did not list every major computer available for climate. So operational prediction, which saves lives and promotes the economy of the nation, gets crippled by lack of computer power, while researchers get the big machines. Your body get optimal benefit from organically grown, natural, raw, fruit and vegetables. The NWS operational machine is dwarfed by the NOAA computers that are available for research. The new NOAA Fairmont machine is five times more powerful, and the NOAA Earth Systems Research Lab/Global Systems Division has TWO far bigger machines. According to her testimony in Congress, CEO Miglarese wants NOAA to reject COSMIC and sign a contract with her firm committing NOAA to purchase their services. Folks, some administrators in NOAA are making very bad decisions. Yes, we are talking about the richest nation in the world, and one of the most vulnerable to severe weather. The Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), a major driver of weather patterns, especially in the winter, has turned positive recently. It is worth noting that those in the Pacific Northwest have much higher chances for drier weather, as the dry anomalies in the southern Ohio Valley are very slight.

Remember, the Pacific Decadal Oscillation is just one of many factors that go into forecasting in the long range- although this composite may say one precipitation trend is likely, another factor may say the opposite precipitation trend is probable. The top image shows precipitation trends in positive PDO years, with the bottom image depicting temperature trends in positive PDO years. The U.S. is at the bottom of the barrel, with about TEN PERCENT of the capacity of the leaders. Japan and ECMWF are the leaders with about .8 petaflop machines, followed by England (UKMET), S. Korea, and Canada. This cool trend stretches from New England into skiing country in Nevada, Utah and Wyoming. Reject a proven system that is heavily supported by another country to commit to a firm that has no proven track record in financing and launching such a satellite constellation. The potential for a potentially significant storm system over the March 26-30 period remains alive.

The Special Weather Warning, now incorporated into this Special Weather Watch, however, remains in effect until its respective time. The most commonly researched and most scientifically accepted weather control and modification method is what is known as cloud seeding, which is used for a variety of purposes, from producing or enhancing rainfall to reducing hail and dispersing fog. Southerly winds will drop off light to moderate with a few patches of mist and fog forming. If we look at the long range GFS jet stream forecast for March 26th, the beginning of this four day timeframe where a storm is expected, we see a few things. The primary thing we want to discuss is the active subtropical jet stream. The smell is getting bad too – not one you would normally associate with a four-bed detached in a reasonably salubrious area. Afer you find that frequency you should hear a continuous broadcast for your area. At 9:42pm CDT, radar indicated showers and thunderstorms, some strong and severe, were being produced in area or areas in these states. A training thunderstorm, possibly severe, continues to train in one specific area, likely producing or imminent to produce flash flooding. Nightmare on Elm Street that launched Freddy Krueger to horror hall of fame, and Jason Voorheyes slashing games in Friday the 13th are one of the example.
