The @NHC_Atlantic has asked us to do 6 hour balloon launches for the next several days to help forecast/support Tropical Cyclone Ian. This is the closest we have ever been to hurricane forecasting! We are excited! Why have they asked us? Standby for an explanation. #wawx #idwx
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
Extra launch # 1 ready to go in a few minutes! #wawx #idwx Image
Launch executed for the 18z weather model ingest. #wawx #idwx #Ian
Here is the final product. 18Z launch complete. Many more to come over the next several days. #wawx #idwx #Ian weather.uwyo.edu/upperair/nacon… Image
