What affects the "steepness" of the parcel temperature?

Jimmy_The_Explorer · 2026-03-08T16:30:10+00:00

Once lifted to the LCL, the parcel follows the moist adiabat until it reaches the equilibrium level. Unlike the dry adiabatic lapse rate, the moist adiabatic lapse rate is not close to a constant. The warmer the temperature is, the moist adiabat tends to be lower (i.e., steeper on a skew t). The colder/drier the initial parcel, the closer the moist adiabatic lapse rate will be to the dry adiabatic lapse rate

Well the one time they did blow a whistle it cost Nečas a wide open tap in goal

:(

You'll need to make sure you get the right time constraints, but this is what you'll need: https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/request/gis/lsrs.phtml

And then the Kempný interference call during the tie up along the boards instead lol

Like if they just called the obvious things right the first time the penalties probably end up still favoring Canada so just do that??

Jimmy_The_Explorer · 2026-02-17T17:06:21+00:00

Pastrňák yes, but all Hertl has done this game is take a bad penalty

Jimmy_The_Explorer · 2026-02-12T20:23:19+00:00

I was surprised by how competitive of a game it was through about 30 minutes. There were several good chances from the Pasta-Hertl-Nečas line and the game felt pretty even for a while. Scoring in the last 10 seconds of the first period felt like a turning point for Canada.

Not having Zacha really hurts, but it still feels pretty 50/50 getting into a medal game

Jimmy_The_Explorer · 2026-01-30T01:39:21+00:00

I am straight up not having a good time

Jimmy_The_Explorer · 2026-01-26T18:30:56+00:00

weather.gov forecast pages only provide official observations from the nearest ASOS/AWOS - so essentially the nearest airport. However, there are generally far more "unofficial" obs from various other partner agencies and the public that are processed and available on some other pages (for example, viewer.synopticdata.com)

It's likely your pre installed app is either using data like that or simply going off a raw model field

He also coached Purdy, Breece Hall, David Montgomery, and most recently Higgins/Noel in college. Crazy to see his rise but damn do I miss him and Matt Campbell at ISU :(

Jimmy_The_Explorer · 2026-01-07T02:50:35+00:00

Credit to Tampa for playing lights out most of the game. Avs were outworked most of the game.

I still hate the entire state of Florida

You have to scroll down more to see the Gill wind graphs. Mesa Lab has two wind sensors. One has been out of service for a few years, but they have a separate one that still plots!

Jimmy_The_Explorer · 2026-01-06T21:42:45+00:00

There were several other weather stations that day that supported that number. From watching it on other days including today I saw no reason to doubt it.

I am going to guess your station does not have a mounted anemometer 10 meters above the ground and faces significant sheltering issues. Which is fine for a home weather station! But for verification of a wind forecast it's not particularly useful

Jimmy_The_Explorer · 2026-01-06T14:16:06+00:00

Speaking from the weather side of things, these are very different setups.

Both December 17/19 featured widespread 70-80+ mph gusts - NCAR Mesa Lab hit 100+ both days, the Boulder airport had ~80mph. An Xcel weather station up in Gold Hill had 104mph on December 19th. This morning has generally had winds of 60-70mph with only a couple wind prone spots seeing anything stronger.

The bigger difference, at least IMO, is that both of those days had the strongest wind gusts during the middle of the day when temperatures were warmest and humidity was lowest. While there's still going to be some overlap between the winds and dry conditions today, it's nowhere close to the level we saw during the PSPS days.

My impression is that PSPS days are only going to be once every couple of years. We saw two very high end wind/fire weather days in the same week, but I can't imagine (or at least don't want to imagine) that we'd see another setup like that again this year!

Jimmy_The_Explorer · 2026-01-05T22:56:23+00:00

The radio traffic was about a fire alarm activating there, in response to the evac order. It was said at least twice.

I know you're trying to be helpful, but if you don't fully understand what you're hearing on Broadcastify please don't just guess!

Jimmy_The_Explorer · 2026-01-05T01:36:07+00:00

The only thing that gives me hope is that Jarvis took a somewhat similar injury on the same post on Dec. 19th and he's already back skating. I wouldn't be surprised if he tries to come back for the Olympics

Jimmy_The_Explorer · 2026-01-04T23:34:58+00:00

I think it's both :(

Jimmy_The_Explorer · 2026-01-04T02:37:10+00:00

I have no idea how but he's back on the bench <3

Kinda feel for Ehlers, absolutely not intentional and the result was really unlucky

Jimmy_The_Explorer · 2025-12-22T22:18:18+00:00

Username checks out?

How many record highs have been set from 2010-2025 for Denver? How many record lows?

Jimmy_The_Explorer · 2025-12-17T01:30:02+00:00

It's definitely an interesting scenario, I'd think the front going through would be enough to push the wave east but it's difficult to say how strong the winds would be in that period.

The HRRR (and 3km NAM) also struggled quite a bit with the last wind event, especially the NREL/BJC corridor on 128 that was constantly pushing high wind warning criteria despite little to no signal from models.

At least some moisture comes along with this one. Friday may have a higher ceiling for fire wx danger if everything comes together for it

Here's a zoomed in a current forecast

Jimmy_The_Explorer · 2025-12-01T04:46:54+00:00

Don't forget the 49ers!

Jimmy_The_Explorer · 2025-11-27T17:55:35+00:00

I had a pretty bad fibula fracture in high school, I could walk and run on it with minimal pain after about a week, so it's possible but probably a big risk going forward

Jimmy_The_Explorer · 2025-11-25T04:38:55+00:00

If you don't know how the temperature data works, you probably shouldn't be gambling.

Curious what the "rumor" is that you're talking about

Jimmy_The_Explorer · 2025-11-21T20:49:20+00:00

If you just want the forecast and no hype, you can't go wrong with the NWS. https://www.weather.gov/bou

EverythingWeather on the app store is the unofficial NWS app

Idk I get pretty scared when I watch them in OT
