Oh and a video

Got some hail this afternoon in KC.

Once you select a location with the widget, it’s supposed to maintain it regardless of the WFO homepage.

That widget on the left is independent of the office homepage location. It’s cookie based so should maintain the location when you move from office to office. Central region offices act a little different as there is an override to default to the largest city for the WFO when first loading the page.

arrived just in time

Adding in reports from the second storm

Snow LSRs from the early week storm.

the most difficult thing for tech nerds to internalize is that endless customization scares the shit out of most people and they would like whatever it is to Just Work

Bunch of trucks stuck on closed I-90 due to Lake Effect. Happens every year!

Persistent, narrow lake effect snow bands on the 00z HRRR going into Sunday. This storm will have insane snowfall totals. #wx #WeatherSky

Get that kid on the roster! He knew he had it before he kicked it.

This is solid. I’ve also used php and bash/shell scripting a bit. The order likely depends on your sector/position. My personal order by use is probably

1) JS/html/css
2) php
3) python
4) SQL
5) Bash/shell

GIS is interwoven into 2 & 3.

Polar stereographic map showing sea surface temperature anomalies in September 2024 relative to 1982 to 2010. Most areas are warmer than average. Sea-ice cover is also shown if sea-ice concentration is at least 15% per each grid point. Red is shown for warmer sea surface temperatures, and blue is shown for colder sea surface temperatures. Data is from OISSTv2.1.

Good news - data started flowing again from NOAA NCEI yesterday. For instance, here are the latest monthly sea surface temperature anomaly observations across the #Arctic (September 2024) using NOAA OISSTv2.1.

So very cool though. Better through the phone long exposure.
