Plains Blizzard

Latest comment: 15 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Sorry I've missed the blizzard that hit the Plains this week. Maybe this week I could add a section. Very doubtful though it would an individual article despite the severity of it (apparently over 1 m in some spots)--JForget 00:54, 9 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Should we start 2008 Thankgiving Costal Storm

edit
Latest comment: 15 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

According, To my local weather office it says this:

Winter Storm Warning for the Following Areas:

Eastern Sierra Slopes of Inyo County

White Mountains of Inyo County

Winter Weather Advisory for the Following Areas:

Spring Mountains-Sheep Range

Mono County-Including the cities of Bridgeport, Colevillen, Lee Vining, and Mammoth Lakes

Flood Advisory for the Following Areas:

Las Vegas Valley

I copied this directly form the Las Vegas and Reno weather office and my question was should we start an article for this naming it Thanksgiving Costal Storm (2008) or 2008 Thanksgiving Coastal Storm. Leave Message ,Yellow Evan home , User:Yellow Evan/Sandbox

Now it says this:

A STRONG PACIFIC STORM SYSTEM WILL BRING WIDESPREAD RAIN AND VERY HIGH ELEVATION SNOW TO THE REGION TODAY AND THANKSGIVING DAY...ALONG WITH COOLER TEMPERATURES. THE STORM WILL DEPART ON FRIDAY...WITH RAIN CHANCES ENDING AND TEMPERATURES REBOUNDING A FEW DEGREES. DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND INTO THE FIRST OF DECEMBER...WITH BREEZY CONDITIONS OVER THE WEEKEND. &&

SATELLITE SHOWS THE MAIN LOW CENTER SPINNING INTO THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA COASTAL WATERS. AREA RADARS SHOW THE MAIN BAND OF PRECIP INVADING OUR FAR WESTERN CWFA AND MOVING GENERALLY NORTH. CURRENTLY THE NAM12 SEEMS TO HAVE THE BEST LOCATION OF THE PRECIP BAND AND THE DRY SLOT OVER THE COASTAL WATERS BETWEEN THE PRECIP BAND AND THE MAIN CIRCULATION CENTER. HOWEVER...AM A BIT SKEPTICAL OF THE RAPID EASTWARD MOVEMENT OF THE PRECIP DEPICTED IN THE NAM12 FOR THE REST OF THE MORNING. BASED MOST CRITICAL FORECAST DECISIONS ON THE NAM12 SOLUTION ADJUSTED FOR A SLIGHTLY SLOWER EASTWARD SPREAD OF THE PRECIP. THE FIRST ISSUE WAS THE WINTER STORM WATCH. MOST RECENT OBS INDICATE TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER 40S AT 7200 FEET AND UPPER 30S AT 9000 FEET IN THE LOCAL MOUNTAINS...AND UPPER 30S AT 6750 FEET IN THE SAN BERNARDINO MOUNTAINS...WITH SATURATED OR NEAR SATURATED CONDITIONS IN BOTH AREAS SO NO ROOM FOR WET BULB COOLING. THUS...STILL BELIEVE THAT THE MAIN PRECIP BAND WILL COME THROUGH AS RAIN AT THE RESORT LEVEL...WITH SNOW CONFINED TO THE UNPOPULATED HIGHER AREAS. SNOW AT THE RESORT LEVEL WILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE MAIN CIRCULATION CENTER TO APPROACH...BY WHICH TIME THE MAIN MOISTURE FEED WILL BE WELL TO THE EAST. THUS...MODERATE RAIN FOLLOWED BY ONLY A FEW INCHES OF SNOW STILL SEEMS THE MOST LIKELY OUTCOME. UPGRADED THE WINTER STORM WATCH TO A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY...WHICH SEEMED TO BE THE MOST PRUDENT COURSE OF ACTION CONSIDERING BOTH METEOROLOGICAL AND SOCIOLOGICAL FACTORS. FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA...EVEN AFTER SLOWING DOWN THE NAM12...IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE SIGNIFICANT RAIN COULD BE OVER BY THIS EVENING /EXCEPT IN MOHAVE COUNTY WHERE BETTER MOISTURE LINGERS UNTIL TOMORROW MORNING/. PRECIP CHANCES WILL THEN DECREASE FROM WEST TO EAST THANKSGIVING DAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT AS THE LOW CENTER CROSSES OUR CWFA. BY FRIDAY MORNING...ANY LINGERING PRECIP CHANCES SHOULD BE CONFINED TO MOHAVE COUNTY. TEMPERATURES WILL COME DOWN QUITE A BIT FROM THE WELL ABOVE NORMAL READINGS OF LATE...WITH POINT TEMPS HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON CLOUD COVER AND PRECIP BOTH TODAY AND THANKSGIVING DAY. ABOUT FIVE DEGREES OF RECOVERY CAN BE EXPECTED ON FRIDAY ASSUMING NO WRAP AROUND CLOUDS RAISING HAVOC.

A REX BLOCK PATTERN IS FORECAST BY THE GFS/ECMWF/GEFS OVER THE WEEKEND WITH STRONG HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OFF THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST AND LOW PRESSURE TO THE SOUTH. ESSENTIALLY WHAT THIS MEANS FOR THE WEEKEND WEATHER IS MOSTLY CLEAR/DRY CONDITIONS AND ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED. A NORTHERLY SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT IS FORECAST TO SET UP OVER THE CWA AS A SURFACE HIGH BUILDS OVER THE NORTHERN GREAT BASIN. THIS WILL BRING SOME GUSTY NORTH WINDS TO MUCH OF THE AREA THIS WEEKEND WITH THE STRONGEST WINDS EXPECTED ALONG THE COLORADO RIVER VALLEY.

AVIATION...FOR MCCARRAN...CLOUD COVER WILL PERSIST OVER THE VALLEY AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MAKES ITS WAY ONSHORE TODAY. CEILINGS CURRENTLY RANGING FROM 8-10KFT ARE EXPECTED TO LOWER TO AROUND 5KFT BY 14Z. AS RAIN DEVELOPS...LOCAL CIGS OF 2-4KFT WITH SOME VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS ARE POSSIBLE. LOWER CLOUDS AND RAIN SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY AS THE LOW MOVES ACROSS THE REGION.

FOR THE REST OF SOUTHERN NEVADA...NORTHWEST ARIZONA...AND SOUTHEAST CALIFORNIA...CIGS WILL CONTINUE TO LOWER AND RAIN WILL DEVELOP OVER THE REGION AS A PACIFIC STORM SYSTEM MOVES INLAND TODAY. CIGS ARE CURRENTLY RANGING FROM 6KFT IN THE WEST TO AROUND 10KFT IN THE EAST. CIGS WILL CONTINUE TO LOWER AS RAIN DEVELOPS THIS MORNING. SOME AREAS COULD SEE CIGS AOB 2KFT AND VISIBILITY AOB 5 SM IN MODERATE RAIN SHOWERS TODAY. THUNDERSTORMS ARE STILL A POSSIBILITY THIS AFTERNOON...MAINLY SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 40. RANGE FROM 5-8K AGL AND THEN DECREASE OVERNIGHT AND ON INTO WEDNESDAY. LOWER CLOUDS AND RAIN SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY AS THE LOW MOVES ACROSS THE REGION.


I feel it warrants its own article. Should I start the sandbox for it today? BTW, If I create one it would be my first article for this project. Leave Message ,Yellow Evan home , User:Yellow Evan/Sandbox

No, not yet at least. Hundreds (thousands?) of winter storm warnings are issued each year, so unless the storm causes widespread damage, a section in this article will suffice. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 16:26, 26 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
I will keep an eye on the storm and will start a section soon. Hopefully, I will expand it from time to time and split it up into an article if it warrants one. [1] [2] [3] [4]

It seems that with over 1 million power outages (myself included), an article for this storm might be necessary. Thoughts? –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 19:01, 13 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Sounds good for an article indeed, the impacts were quite big over the northeast, not to mention the rare snowstorm in parts of the Gulf Coast or Deep South area. --JForget 19:18, 13 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Move info to Late December Snowstorms of 2008

edit
Latest comment: 15 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hello, it seems that much of the information in the late December sections is about the recent snowstorms affecting North America. Maybe the info should be moved to Late December Snowstorms of 2008, seeing as these snowstorms are very significant and widespread. If the move occurs, only a summary should be left behind, with a link to the article included beneath the section titles. Before moving this however, I would like to know what everyone else thinks of this move. Thanks.JoshuaKuo (talk) 00:18, 30 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Adding a picture is good in general, but a photo of someone's yard (March 2009 snowstorm aftermath in northern Virginia.jpg) does not belong in Wikipedia. Take a photo in public place, preferably a recognisable place? Yes, I know my picture of Euston is not that recognisable, but at least any commuter using the station would recognise it.
