LOOKING FOR A FEW WEATHER NERDS
Written By: Scott Hetsko
Most of you know that we air two seasonal weather specials. The next on is coming up in late April and we thought it would be fun to profile a couple local weather nuts that don't work in television. Got a weather station at home? Can't stop looking at long range forecast models, even in Summer? I want to hear from you!
Please send us an email to (weather@wroctv.com) and tell us why we should profile you! We did this with some of our weather spotters about 7 years ago and it went well. Looking forward to hearing from you!

What's up with that new 7 day forecast? What happened to next week's warm-up?
ReplyDeleteSquashed by Arctic high pressure and an approaching storm over the mid west.
ReplyDeleteSo does that approaching storm mean snow?
ReplyDeleteHmmmm...not committing to that yet Sal. :)
ReplyDeleteWhen are these crusty snowbanks going to be gone? It's taking forever for them to melt
ReplyDelete33F at the Buffalo airport at 4PM. That's a pretty powerful lake. I bet it's even colder downtown near the waterfront. Wouldn't wanna live there in ths spring!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see the new 7 day forecast doesn't show any 30 degree weather next week, as was the case last night. It also looks like the chance for any serious snows has diminished.
ReplyDeleteAny comments form the weather team?
No one here ever mentioned anything about "serious snows" next week. As for the temperatures, I said it on FOX last night that there will be fluctuations in the temperatures depending on how far South the high pressure from Canada moves.

Up to 63 beautiful degrees out there. Just a few rapidly melting snowbanks left to remind us that it's still winter. Hopefully next week's colder air doesn't stick around too long, as a lot of people will be shifting into the spring mindset.
ReplyDeleteI guess "serious snow" is a relative term. For me, this time of year...a couple of inches is serious snow.
ReplyDeleteI am so ready for many more days like today.
Me too Sal! Me too...

So Scott, question for you. Typically when the nights are clear, the temperature takes a dive. Tonight is a fairly clear night and the temps are forecasted to remain in the 50's. What gives? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe key word is "typically". What makes tonight different is "warm air advection" Winds are from the SW ahead of a cold front and temperatures are warm in that area. The cold nights occur on clear, calm nights when high pressure is nearly overhead. High pressure must be near so that advection doesn't come into play.

Still in the 50's at almost 10 o'clock at night. Downtown Rochester is full of life with people celebrating St. Patrick's Day. It's always nice to see these nights so early in the season. It's a great early boost for the local economy as it brings everybody out.
ReplyDelete65 degrees at 6:30 this morning in Lyons. If only it would last!
ReplyDeleteIf only I had stepped out of the house an hour earlier this morning. Mid 50's is still okay at 7:30 AM.
ReplyDeleteThe GFS and Euro continue to show a solid -10C at 850 air mass sitting over us for a couple days next week. Assuming we have little to no snow cover, and the increased sun angle (which will be as strong as mid/late September by next week), those types of temps aloft shouldn't lead to anything TOO bitterly cold. Wouldn't be surprised to see a day or two struggle to reach the 32 degree mark, but compared to where we have been this winter, that won't be to extreme. I'd rather we get this out of the way now if it means a pleasantly warm April and May.
I agree with you, DK...get it out of the way now.
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to channel 8? I went to see the 12 o clock news and its some sports channel!
