Watching the Pineapple Express I'm not sure if moisture is evaporating over eastern Oregon and then recondensing approaching Boise, or if the space in between is due to lack of coverage.<br /><br />Thanks.strix27https://www.blogger.com/profile/08754896384356494723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-49703248886631879922010-12-02T13:15:28.507-08:002010-12-02T13:15:28.507-08:00One of the things that frustrates me about most we...One of the things that frustrates me about most weather animations is having to discern the time format (local or UTC) and read the time as the animation proceeds. Perhaps it is time to experiment with some sort of animated calendar/timeline to accompany these type of graphical forecast products. Tide tables on a calendar are very intuitive for me, a cursor moving across a calendar (that might include periods of darkness) might be a good starting point.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07093057049384055367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-49099645964266187752010-11-30T16:42:56.643-08:002010-11-30T16:42:56.643-08:00hmm I still like this site for radar weather.

It hasn't quite reached the levels predicted (sustained 20-35mph, gusts to 55mph) but we've had steady winds, gusting to 30mph since yesterday afternoon til now, 10am, in Bellingham. Further up the Straight they've had more low 40's. <br /><br />We really need a knowledgable Bellingham Weather Blogger because we at the confluence of the Fraser Outflow and the Straight of Juan de Fuca consistently have un-noted extreme weather. I remember a few years ago when there was a windstorm that gusted up to 80mph in Seattle! Nobody noticed that Bellingham had 90mph winds within days of the Seattle storm.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-54764795793972867182010-11-29T19:26:19.893-08:002010-11-29T19:26:19.893-08:00This is fantastic!

We have really good communication and they respect us. If I ask them to not use a phrase or sentence, they won't. If I say a certain event isn't goint to occur, they don't imply it will.

However, I do like being able to get a regional view. <br /><br />It will be nice when the second radar comes online to see what is really going on over the entire region. We ofter hear of forecasts for 4-10 inches of rain over the western Olympics.
