@jason61987 What's an above average November called without the EN component? What's the difference between the 2?

[Postholer - GIS Resources @postholer]

@NWSEureka This is how dry it's been so far this water year. Today/last nights storm won't tally until tomorrow:

@Weather_West Your reality is based on long-range models that don't perform well. You cling to the most extreme outcome, then use real science to try and validate it.

The trump regime just made huge cuts in NOAA. Being a #weatherPeacock does. not. help.

@CW3E_Scripps @Scripps_Ocean Parts of the Olympic Peninsula are 10-17 inches below normal. They could use some rain, as could the entire west coast.

@ScottSeattleWx "Probability of watch issuance...5 percent"

Nothing to see here, move along.

@willwhitedc @Mapbox @vercel @RaillyHugo @mdlahfir ...added bonus, it may or may not have errors.

3 day rain forecast and water year % for the very dry Pacific Northwest, for hydro basin 6.

@BenNollWeather That explains the average west coast winter during 2015-2016, the second strongest EN on record.

[Postholer - GIS Resources @postholer]

@US_Stormwatch @atmo_ai @vaisalaxweather My experience with weather communicators is, the error in the message is non-linear the further from the event; just like global models.

If there's a 40% chance of the sky falling, the emphasis should be the sky not falling. Not the inverse.

No #weatherPeacock's.

[Postholer - GIS Resources @postholer]

@NWSCPC I really appreciate how the NWS Eureka, CA office worded it. Not a #weatherPeacock to be found anywhere.

Current water year % of normal for CONUS. We're only 6 weeks in. The wettest areas are from EN fueled tropical storm remnants (and a hurricane in Florida), not EN winter weather patterns.

State, county, 6 hydro-basins stats:

@NASAMoonBase ...and you can't mitigate gravity on the human body long term. It's a death sentence, best case, you can't return to earth.

[Postholer - GIS Resources @postholer]

@NASAMoonBase What is the longest period of time a person can spend on the moon and still return to earth, living a completely healthy life? 10 words or less.

Grok:
Six months with proper shielding.

ChatGPT:
Best guess: 1–3 months, with current technology; zero lasting harm isn't guaranteed.

[Postholer - GIS Resources @postholer]

@NWSCPC Washington is 29% of normal, Oregon 41% and extreme northern California about 30%.

Let it rain, we need it badly!

@Weather_West This record setting precip is from decaying tropical storms (which all of you missed) and not from winter weather patterns, yet.

Your 'fact sheet' makes no mention of TS remnant impacts.

[Daniel Swain @Weather_West]

Given rising interest in the rapidly strengthening El Niño event in the tropical Pacific Ocean, I've created a one-page fact sheet succinctly describing what El Niño is, this year's (remarkable) forecast, and potential impacts from California to global scales. [Thread]

@watchdutyapp Flood forecast updates every 4 hours. Water year and basin stats daily:

[Postholer - GIS Resources @postholer]

@Weather_West It's not that complicated.

The water year so far, essentially October, the mean is about 1.5" above mean normal for any basin in the area. While the flooding is severe, the overall totals are not:
