Speaking of which. I need to get with ya about possibly building me one or helping me out in building one. I know you touched on how to do it in the chase thread but wasn't sure if you had already got a patent on it. :P One of those off season things to do. Ok, cool, I'll be happy to help you get s...

Do they drive around Alaskan highways at extreme high rates of speed testing some weird looking contraption on the top of their roof?

I sure hope that highway event isn't the only thing that contraption sees this year!!

KWRF pressure bottoms out at 988 mb and around 55 kt near landfall. 07/00Z.. Much further south than yesterday's run but looks a little north of most the other models.

Sorry about the loss of Dan. I never knew him, but he sounded like a great guy which is apparent by the feelings I see here. Wish I'd signed up here earlier and had the chance to interact with him.

Interesting...when I get home in a bit I'm going to fire up the KWRF again and see what happens.

Although I've not paid really close attention to the model's handling of tropics before, the Rapid Refresh has had some 30-35 kt (possibly some 40 kt pixels in there) winds down in that area near the low for the past several hourly cycles. http://rapidrefresh.noaa.gov/RR/from_jet/rr/full/2010090513/...

Welcome aboard. The workstation wrf and the handle sound strangely familiar. I have nothing to add, but I hope it beings rain, haven't really been short on rain the last few weeks, but as long as it isn't flooding, I figure more is better than less. Hey Ed! Hope you guys do get some rain. I talked ...

Yeah the Coastal WFO's are discounting the NAM (non tropical model) for a GFS/ECMWF solution of a weaker system. We shall see. Regardless, that rain chances look to be going up beginning tomorrow. Certainly worth watching until it gets onshore. [/i] I just wonder if that's the only reason they're t...

Looks like all the coastal WFOs are discounting a stronger system like the NAM depicts (which is similar to KWRF). Haven't seen any reasoning behind it though.

Hi everyone...I just signed up this morning and figured I'd share some forecast graphics from my KWRF model concerning the potential Gulf system. It seems to be wanting to go for hurricane strength before landfall in Northern Mexico around 12Z on the 7th. Pressure bottoms out at 983mb (purples are 6...
