I hear ya, the refs were abysmal, very disappointing. I wouldn't have complained if the goaline call went in their favor. I think the ball was knocked loose slightly before it reached the plane and became completely dislodged, but once again, could have gone either way. I felt fortunate with a win.
I'm biased of course, but Kirby is a good dude and deserves better from the media. He's the best at player development and caring for his players, but gets treated like a cheater any time something looks off. It's crazy.
I get the confusion over this, I was confused myself. I can't explain why the refs gave him the timeout back, but based on real-time audio, he was not pleading to get it back. He has a guy watching from the sky that looks for claps by the defense and they caught them and that is why Kirby clapped.
Once again, have to stand up for Kirby here because the announcers botched things worse than the refs...the Auburn safety was clapping and the refs missed it. That should have resulted in a penalty. Kirby was bringing this to their attention and the announcers misunderstood. 🤦♂️
Dude, the Auburn safety was clapping and Kirby was trying to let the refs know that...that is a violation. He wasn't trying to deceive anyone. Also, wtf with all the people trashing Kirby...really pisses me off that many pundits are not giving him the benefit of the doubt.
Such baroclinity and extratropical ascent are uncommon feats in these parts in August. Hopefully some needed rainfall is on the way. Love it or hate it, the NAM is always a good goto for frontogenesis output, ha.
Right on, we cannot forget
Still amazed that the tragic, heartbreaking story of July’s Texas floods vanished from the national conversation so quickly
Especially when it’s such a warning sign about our readiness for future disasters www.thebulwark.com/p/fema-feder...
I just stumbled on this great thread. Blanket TORs are a necessary evil at times, but confirmed and higher IBW tags deserve as much specificity as possible. We have the technology to distinguish high-level threats (in space and time) and communicate this info with PHI, but this may be a while. :/
Intensifying 34mb in a single 4 hour reconnaissance flight is, uh, well that qualifies as Rapid Deepening. A 64mb drop in 24 hours (prior to the 18z update about to come out) is impressive. #Erin
Did a link ever become available for this? Thanks for any help
😞
Impressive heavy rain event in central MS early this morning over ob deficient area...2.32" in my gauge (x) fits MRMS gradient perfectly
Over the years, I've had a big interest in the big UJ (~150+ kt crossing the Great Basin) driven events in our area since 4/8/98 and can't find one in my docs, but will say the cyclonic branch has some similarities to 4/28/14
I'm sitting here mulling over model depictions of horrifying weather scenarios in the next few days while a story plays on TV in the background about how our GPS system is highly vulnerable and can easily be taken out...yeah it is now time for a bike ride 😀
A reminder I get often - steep lapse rates and strong deep layer shear will kick your tail. Show me a prog for a crap BL and low CAPE, but with steep mid level lapse rates and long hodographs, and I'll show you a surprise waiting to happen. We've had a few sig wind events recently in this category.
I do everything to avoid posting about matters like these on SM, but something that concerns me enough to post is the future. If this reaches anyone who was like me, once dreaming of a position in the NWS, I pray you will not let what's going on now entirely discourage you. It will get better.
Lol, we tool the Samsung to Frigidaire route as well.
I think you as much as anyone appreciate how rare this event is...wow
It's pretty wild at how effective a little moist isentropic ascent can be in gulf winter weather events...already getting very light pcpn in central LA well ahead of better frontogenesis.
Want to see how the crashes in Omaha are doing due to the ice storm? We already have crash compilations.
I try to stress being as explicit as possible with "impacts"...will roads be washed out, homes inundated, emergency services cut off, etc...anything we can do to help people visualize impacts is good...leave as little to the imagination as possible.
It was an equally pathetic grounding call on the same play. Beck clearly had a receiver he was throwing to. 😂
So I didn't have to imagine as this was pretty close to do or die for my team tonight...ngl, it was hell 😄😵💫
I can't wait to see it
Wow!
PSA: Meteorologists/weather folk of Bluesky, the GOAT CIPS analogs is back up and running 🥳
ULM 💪
I look at the ECMWF AI regularly in ops, and have been trying to get a feel for when it might have the most advantage...this is helpful and much appreciated info.
Wow, we need more on this topic! I hope to see the full presentation.
