I did fire weather for 9 years, so it is interesting to me and it is definitely challenging for a whole other set of reasons compared to convective. A lot of those being inconsistent fuels info.

Definitely convective.

I’m off that day, and if the government shutdown continues the Federal partnership won’t be able to participate unfortunately. I may be there with my kids though, so say hello if you spot me.

The Flying Cow Cafe will be open and there will be food trucks.

Looks like 892mb will be the lowest. Latest dropsonde was 895.
October 28, 2025 at 2:08 PM
Aaaand nevermind. New dropsonde was even lower. 893mb would be 4th most intense. We’ll see what additional data may bring.

Yeah, just saw the updated data on my drive into work. Yikes!
October 28, 2025 at 1:35 PM
***6th most intense. Sorry for the typo.
October 28, 2025 at 1:31 PM
906mb is definitely impressive.

Much of NWS is considered essential/excepted. We’ve always continued to worked during shutdowns.

Yes

He’s already read it and absolutely loved it! Kurzgesagt is one of his favorites on YouTube.

I figured it was a long shot, but sent a message to the lab via their webpage. They emailed me back & said they would love to give him a tour & let him shadow a few of their workers. How cool is that?!?!
