Would have thought you would make the trip for this festival! The lineup is insane. I’m going for Friday !

Blue Ridge Rock Festival

The Ultimate Rock & Metal Weekend returns September 7th-10th featuring the Lowest Ticket, Camping, & Drink Prices of any major Rock Festival.

You get to see sleep token.

Literally never listened to them till 2 weeks ago, you aren’t the first to tell me that I’m lucky to see them lol. They are really good

I would love for a repeat of January 1940.

Huawei's Pangu-Weather AI weather model's verification scores are impressive thus far.

What's it's winter prediction?

Interesting. It looks like one of its biggest selling points is the speed at which it produces forecasts, too. It is supposedly much quicker than NWP methods.

Yup, 1 min to run 240 hours. They could run this hourly. The AI allows this not to be run on a supercomputer too.

I’m curious if they could apply machine learning to NWP forecasts to get an even better forecast (albeit longer to produce)?

Is it too early to start posting these?

So the AI just "learned" what we already knew? Heavily weight your forecasts on the Euro! It's verification is right along the same line as the Euro. Does the AI ingest all of the weather forum data and then choose the available model output that is heavily favored by that polling?

The AI modeling is running on desktop computers in minutes with comparable verification to the Euro already.

Considering it's still "learning", it's a huge deal just by sheer accessibility and ability for a collective of average humanity to make it better based on data the modeling will be trained on.

So basically we can clone the repository and just run the code/model on desktop?

Didn't expect that term on my summer bingo card lol

I haven't looked into all that. I'm not sure if it outputs graphics or raw, netcdf etc. You'll need the separate training files too.

classic track.

Just a dream right now, but this is what we're all waiting for:

12z CFS dew points for way out in early September

It would be nice to get an early start on fall.

 

[RainlessSnowless & Grumpy]

Good thing picked up 1.9 yesterday because I just managed to not get a drop from this somehow. It's really not hard to believe that happened though if you know the microclimate here.

 

[NoSnowATL]

Its clear we just want something exciting. Damn weather has been boring the last few years. Lets hope for severe weather today and 200 hurricanes in September.

I haven’t paid attention to the media much, but I can only assume the desperation has really set in with not much disaster to promote our impending doom.

Kinda like two losers in high school fighting over the one ugly chick who talks to them.

Suppose to be 97 today. It’s only 80 at 1PM.

Stubborn deck of clouds your way has certainly held temps back, 90 here full sun.

Random car / suv question: anybody ever owned or know someone who owned a Ford Flex?? I’m kicking around the idea of a newer vehicle and these keep coming up as great for tall drivers. Any input would be appreciated

It's a great car. lots of room

 

[RainlessSnowless & Grumpy]

What a joke here. Why am I not surprised. Good luck everyone maybe most of you will actually get a storm and not a brief shower

Might wanna slap a supercharger or a turbo on it for additional power, but a good roomy car

It never fails. I can’t bring myself to be like that but it does.

They actually have a turbo charged engine with 365 hp available
