Everything is connected. Stuff that happens across the Pacific Northwest has implications and impacts of what happens downstream i.e. how things evolve across the southeast US. #wawx #idwx
Here is another model. See the differences in the evolution & track of Ian? This is why extra balloon flights are helpful, bc the data gets ingested into every model run to help forecast Ian's track & help the models become consistent with better data #wawx #idwx @CoDWXData
