Wxchaser97's Tropical Weather Blog

Explanation blog

Posted by: wxchaser97, 2:34 AM GMT on October 22, 2012

This blog is designed to show my format and what I do. I am currently in high school right now and I am pursuing a study in meteorology. I got the opportunity to do an independent study on meteorology this school year. I make local forecasts for my area and forecast/monitor the tropics, winter weather, and severe weather. While they are not associated with any official forecast center I try to make them as accurate and high quality as possible. I am always open to comments, questions, or critics on all my blogs. I want to be a better forecaster so any feedback I get from fellow bloggers is appreciated. I write a local forecast blog every Sunday evening. I make my written and graphical forecast here. At the end of every month I will write a summary of how my forecasts did compared to the forecasts of the NWS.
Here are some links that I use to make my forecasts for these types of blogs.
Models = Link and Link
Websites = Link, Link, and Link

The other type of main blogging I do is on the tropics right now. Once winter comes and severe weather season I will update this blog accordingly. I usually start out with a summary of the storm and the current stats. I then show a satellite image of the storm or invest that I'm blogging about. I then go into detail about the environment around the storm and the structure of the storm. Finally I do my forecast and remarks on the storm. I make my written and graphical forecast here so you can see what I am saying in multiple ways. I try to always be accurate and concise on my blogging and I try to get the message out.
Models = Link and Link
Satellites = Link, Link, Link, Link, Link, and Link
Hurricane centers = Link, Link, Link, and Link
Other cites = Link, Link, Link, Link, Link, Link, Link, and Link

I did this so you know what my blogs are about and the reason why I do them. Have a great night and I will have my Berkley, MI blog out soon.

Quoting Astrometeor: What kind of program gave you the opportunity for an independent study of meteorology? Me jealous. It is just something through my school. I found out I could do it after I failed a health class test-out test, lol. Member Since: March 16, 2012 Posts: 87 Comments: 6773
