New product allows you to explore record-setting extreme weather
We've launched a new extreme weather product this week: Record Extremes. Recent, globally record-setting years have demanded a product that combines U.S. and international record extremes into one, easy to use interface. The Record Extremes page will give you the option to see U.S. and international records on a map and table. You can select any combination of record types at once, which, combined with the map, provides a interesting visual way to investigate record-setting events. The product uses data from three sources: (1) NOAA's National Climate Data Center, (2) Wunderground's U.S. records, and (3) Wunderground's International records.
The NCDC records begin in 1850 and include official NOAA record extreme events for ASOS and COOP weather stations in all 50 U.S. states as well as Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the Pacific Islands. In this database you can find records for maximum high temps, minimum high temps, maximum low temps, minimum high temps, snow, and precipitation on daily, monthly, and all-time scales.
The Wunderground extremes were compiled by our weather historian Christopher C. Burt. Chris monitors 300 stations across the U.S. for Record Extremes in maximum and minimum temperature, precipitation, and snow events. Most of these U.S. records go back to the end of the 19th century, though the oldest site in this database is Charleston, SC, where precipitation records started in 1737! Internationally, Chris monitors 150 countries worldwide for all-time record high temperatures and all-time record low temperatures. If you're interested in diving deeper into extreme weather in the U.S. and abroad, Chris's book Extreme Weather is an excellent resource.
Figure 1. All-time snow records broken during the Groundhog Day Blizzard of 2011. These records were found by selecting NCDC as the source, a start date of 2011-01-31, an end date of 2011-02-02, "maximum snowfall," and "all-time."
We built the Record Extremes product to make it easy to find specific records you're looking for, or just browse the records in general.
Check records that were set on a specific date
You can check on records that were set yesterday, for example, by setting the calendar to yesterday's date, and selecting all the record variables and types that you're interested in.
Explore all records set in a certain time range
2011 was a record-setting year for the U.S., and most of the records were high maximum temp and high minimum temps. To see all of these warm records that were set last year, select "NCDC" as the source, 2011-01-01 as the start date and 2011-12-31 as the end date. Select Maximum High Temp and Maximum Low Temp in weather variables, and select all-time in the record type.
View current standing international records in the Wunderground database
Select either the Wunderground International records, and instead of choosing a date range, select "Show current standing records." This will bring up all standing records in the database for whatever record variable and type you select. Whereas we've collected every record ever set or broken from NCDC, the Wunderground records are always the current, standing record, whenever it was set. As you move your map around the globe, you'll see each country's all-time maximum high temp and all-time maximum low temp.
Filter your table results
Looking for a specific location or record within your search results? Use the "Filter Results" option in the table to narrow down your search.
Let us know what you think!

how do i upgrade im stuck on 16
Right, no i understand that. I just thought it was humorous thats all.
Indeed, I missed it here, as I was inside.
Do not forget to include this:
Google Chrome's Do Not Track Option
Here is the link to get it:

forcasted to fall between 2 and 4, I probably will as well

Coronal Mass Ejections Part II and III
A pair of explosions can be viewed in the latest STEREO Behind COR2 images. The latest events were the result of a filament eruption. This first blast appears to be headed north and is not Earth directed. The second event may be Earth directed, however more images will be needed to confirm this.
Watch the movie presentation below.
UPDATE: As per the latest WSA-Enlil Solar Wind Prediction, a glancing blow CME impact will be possible late on February 26th.

"Soot may affect regional climate, as well as global climate (22, 43). It has been suggested that the heavy concentration of soot over China and India may be responsible for a trend toward increased flooding in the south and drought in the north (43)."
I posted a photo earlier of a cloud whitening project in the Atlantic. Whitening low clouds changes the density of the atmosphere and albedo and can change global weather patterns, just as soot can change global patterns. This IS being done, right under your noses. In a civilization of laws, geoengineering is illegal.

.SHORT TERM [TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY]...LARGE SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
REMAINS SITUATED ACROSS THE EASTERN CONUS AND ALONG THE NORTHERN
GULF COAST REGION ALL THE WAY DOWN TO BROWNSVILLE TX. THE AIRMASS
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA REMAINS DRY FOR THE MOMENT WITH SURFACE
DEWPOINTS THIS AFTERNOON FALLING INTO THE UPPER TEENS/LOWER 20S. LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE WILL THEN GRADUALLY INCREASE THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK
AS THE SURFACE HIGH MOVES EAST OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC.
THE LIGHT TO MODERATE PRECIPITATION ONGOING ACROSS THE NORTHWEST
GULF OF MEXICO...SOUTHEAST TEXAS AND SOUTHWEST LOUISIANA IS
ASSOCIATED WITH AN UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE. THE AXIS OF SHORTWAVE...
CURRENTLY OVER SOUTHEAST TEXAS...WILL MOVE EAST OVER THE LOWER
MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLY BY DAYBREAK. OVER-RUNNING IN THE MID/UPPER
LEVELS AHEAD OF THE SHORTWAVE WILL OCCUR ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA
OVERNIGHT...WITH LIGHT PRECIPITATION MOVING IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST.
ABUNDANT MOISTURE AND MODERATE LIFTING BETWEEN 700 AND 400MB (OR
10,000 AND 25,000 FEET) WILL MOVE OVER THE FORECAST AREA LATE THIS
EVENING THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. TEMPERATURES NEAR THE CENTER OF
STRONGEST LIFT ARE NEARLY IDEAL (-6 TO -14C) FOR ICE CRYSTAL/SNOW
FORMATION. ONCE THE FROZEN PRECIPITATION BEGINS TO FALL...IT WILL
ENCOUNTER ABOVE FREEZING TEMPERATURES AROUND 8000 FEET. ALTHOUGH
EVAPORATIVE COOLING COULD LOWER THIS LEVEL AS LOW AS 6500 FEET AFTER
MIDNIGHT (NOT PICKED UP BY THE MODELS). PARTIAL MELTING OR COMPLETE
MELTING SHOULD OCCUR BEFORE REACHING 5000 FEET...BUT THE LOWEST
LEVEL OF SUB-FREEZING WET BULB TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN FAIRLY
CONSTANT OVERNIGHT AT AROUND 3000 FEET. RE-FREEZING ABOVE THIS LEVEL
IN THE FORM OF VERY LIGHT ICE PELLETS COULD OCCUR...WITH SOME
The Sun
Purim

False Flags
What now... Why do we have to be scared of the Jews?
hey pat...what are you expectin in march?
Do you even get those storms you were looking for?
if this works it is the one of the tornado's from April 28 2011 roaring through Alabama via GRLEVEL 3. Debris ball and all
That's a funky looking color table, you know you can change it and a lot of other stuff by going here and registering?
View of the April 27, 2011 Tuscaloosa tornado via GR2Analyst:
That storm was a beast...
The system should make landfall on the northeastern part of Madagascar tomorrow morning..
and "wiki" is yer friend.
No one mention scared either.
The ingrained program running in your sub conscience read it that way.

yea ive gone through many different color tables and backgrounds. That was actually just the default when I took that. It has changed since then though. Yea I was 10 minutes to late for that particular cell. thanks for the heads up though
Yes, it is definitely worth having.
Velocity/Storm Relative Velocity
what is gr2 analyst
That guy standing over there! *points*
Do you ever use your volume visualizer?
Pat?!?!?!
Pat's in charge?!?!?!?!
Aw, man...I can't get away with anything when Pat's in charge!!!!
no, no not him....the guy leaning against the wall with graffiti all over it. *points again*
He has his hat sitting low
Weather Software that makes the free radar sites look elementary, I know your like me in that you get overly excited with nature. You should invest in at least grlevel 3
Yeah, I use it sometimes, mainly because there are volume tables you can download and you can look into storms that have large hail cores.
Only the best radar currently in use.
i am assuming it cost some money...
$250.
Cross-section view of the Tuscaloosa tornado.
i am certainly not spending 250$ on a simple radar system.
Aint worth it!
Nobody from the Carolina's I guess...
1.) The radar system is definitely not simple.
2.) It is WELL worth it.
Of course, there are two other radar systems similar, but not as advanced as Gr2Analyst that would be nice starters.
GRLevel2: $79.95
GRLevel3: $79.95
GR2Analyst Main page: $250 individual license, $500 commercial license
There are 21-day trials for all of them if you wish to experiment. They are on their pages, respectively.
THE FIRST ROUND APPEARS TO BE A SOUTHWEST FLOW EVENT ON WEDNESDAY.
THE LATEST GGEM HAS TRENDED TOWARDS THE ECMWF/S DEPICTION OF A
COLDER/SNOWIER SOLUTION. THE GFS/GFS ENSEMBLES APPEAR TO BE MORE OF
AN OUTLIER NOW WITH A WARMER AND WETTER SOLUTION. STILL A LOT OF
TIME TO IRON THINGS OUT...BUT AT THIS POINT LEANING THE FORECAST
MORE TOWARDS THE COLDER GGEM/ECMWF. WHILE WE CERTAINLY CAN/T RULE
OUT THE GFS/S WARMER SOLUTION...THIS POTENTIAL EVENT WILL FEATURE A
HIGH OVER EASTERN CANADA WHICH IS SOMETHING WE REALLY HAVE NOT SEEN
MUCH OF THIS WINTER. THAT WOULD FAVOR THE COLDER/SNOWIER MODEL
SOLUTIONS. AGAIN THOUGH ITS STILL 4 DAYS OUT IN THE FUTURE...SO
THERE IS EVEN A LOW PROBABILITY THAT THE MODELS SHIFT THE MAIN AXIS
OF PRECIPITATION TO OUR SOUTHWEST. BASICALLY...WE NEED TO KEEP ALL
OPTIONS OPEN AT THIS POINT BUT HAVE ENOUGH TO RUN WITH LOW END
LIKELY POPS FOR WEDNESDAY.
A SECOND ROUND OF WINTRY PRECIPITATION MAY DEVELOP ON THURSDAY.
THIS WILL DEPEND ON WHERE A SECONDARY COASTAL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
DEVELOPS...SO WILL CONTINUE WITH CHANCE POPS.
I've still not figured out how to get it like this, but oh well.
Ill second that... it definitely is currently the most complex and robust data you will ever receive. LIke TAWX says try the 15 day trial. I did a couple years back and feel for it within the first severe weather event. An Amazing tool..
that first picture is what makes me want it so bad. I think it has to do with feature lift view that will show you updraft in the cell. or like the first picture shows
