Super windy day, around 30-40 mph gusts, created quite a show of lenticular clouds right near the Sierra Nevada rain shadow in the Mojave desert near Inyokern, CA
lmk if this is the wrong sub to post this on but can anyone explain why this happens and why it’s so drastic
I need this for a class - I modeled the forecasted temps for the next 2 weeks according to the weather channel of the two cities.
Need help. Wondering if a 6 Plate Radiation Shield has a temperature sensor within which effectively reduces/blocks incoming solar and back radiation but allows ample air flow over the sensor to accurately measure temperature?
Any additional information would be appreciated as well as correcting my statement if I got some information wrong
Hello, I am planning on filming an essay this spring in West Virginia, but I wanted to know does anyone know the optimal time of spring when itll be green and foggy/misty at the same time in the hills and forests?
Hi, to anyone acquainted with all the free weather-sites out there, is there even one accurate/free weather site with NOAA's neat layout which offers a Five-Day Detailed Overview including:
Because NOAA has proven to be inaccurate for me too often, even if their layout is perfect for me.
As for Wunderground - its 10-day detailed overview omits worded-forecast for each night
As for Accuweather, it may be accurate, but it's not the clear layout of NOAA. I get confused scrolling thru it.
As for Windy - it's sophisticatedly confusing to me. It's geared for those on a higher-tech level of intellect than me.
As for Weatherstack, it may be cleanly elegant, but it's too sparing of worded-forecast for each night in its overview. Also it was in celsius which I haven't mastered. But even if it enables Fahrenheit-display, it's still too sparing of info to suit my practical preferences.
Happy Groundhog Day everyone
I’m talking hot summers, piles of snow at Christmas, colorful autumn and flowers in spring. Ohio used to be my answer but I’ve heard things have changed in the last 10 years
Storms firing right across the west. Not good!
Before y'all start going down in the comments saying how this is not going to happen and all that, yes, I get it. I've been watching weather prediction and weather itself long enough to understand how all this works. Just this past January my native area of the northwest corner of Louisiana, barely missed out on snow twice, once to our north and once again to our south, in less than 2 weeks. Both times we were forecast wintry precipitation with moderate confidence within 1 week of the event. So yes, I've been skeptical of the models in the past, now I straight up just don't trust them.
At any rate, they spin up some nice eye candy drunken snow totals 2 weeks out sometimes. Another snow event in East Texas and parts of Louisiana, some snow for the middle of the country, some clipper systems across the northern plains, a monster storm or two from the Mississippi Valley all the way up to Nova Scotia. Not a shortage of mountain snow especially in the Sierra Nevada due to atmospheric rivers.
Are they gone for good?
As of Jan 8th I used to lurk from time to time as I had an account there and was banned once (got restored) for wrong think even though I didn't call anybody names I just disagreed with the mods political view over something stupid and BOOM didn't even get any noticed I was banned with no chance of a recourse. I mean a 'time out' would've sufficed if things got politically heated but he doesn't do that anymore to people's accounts.
On the forum counter when you were able to view as a guest there were quite a few guests logged in at any one time so it was always fun to see if I was the only anonymous lurker around and I wonder how many wounded up having their accounts wiped and NOT restored back?
Should I just make a new account and not post? Is it worth the bother?
Basically as the question asks if I were to live in let’s say the troposphere or just low enough where weather will exist how would it work? Would the rain be heavier or just kind produce moisture on everything? Would snow just freeze with no actual falling? I genuinely have no clue just doing research for a dnd campaign
Normally Google weather is reliable for me but this upcoming Saturday, the 8th it has thr projected high at 43 while both weather.com and my local news station say it's going to be in the 60s. Which one is more likely to be correct and why is there such a massive difference?
I currently use a Acurite weather station and have data displayed on Weather Underground.
I'm wondering is their a way to use ifttt or some other method to receive a daily email that would give me what yesterdays Temperature High and Low was along with rainfall for my station Every morning.
I used to run a program VIS Reader that was amazing , having the ability to give reports and send emails to cover about any data point you wanted it to.
thanks for any help or suggestions you may have,

From 22.6 Celsius to 27.2 at 3am in the morning. This increase has been cross checked with offical observations.
I’ve never really seen this before at this time of the night. Any theories on what would cause such a dramatic increase in the middle of the night?
For context, this area is up the top of a mountain.
