[quote:Anonymous Coward 76022931:MV8zNzM3MzMyXzY2ODk4NTc3X0I1QUNGNUZB] Was looking for info about the drought and I found this from last September. Never heard of a 'flash drought' before...but they weren't kidding. The drought continues, especially up here in northern Arkansas. [b][i]Meteorologists: Arkansas Faces Potential of Flash Drought[/i][/b] 9/27/17 [i]A flash drought is when warm and dry conditions and evaporating soil moisture happen quickly. The latest U.S. Drought Monitor, released Tuesday, shows 60 percent of the state as abnormally dry, up from 47 percent a week earlier and from 5 percent the week before that. The western two-thirds of the state is in the abnormally dry are.[/i] https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/arkansas/articles/2017-09-29/meteorologists-arkansas-faces-potential-of-flash-drought --- An article just came out 20 minutes ago talking about water quality in my region being impacted due to the severe drought, but the source is on GLP's no-no list of websites. Basically, they're saying the water tastes and smells like shit, but not to fear, because “bacteriologically the water is safe.” Water levels on the lakes are down in some areas 14 to 15 feet, and treatment plants are having a difficult time with it. Groovy. [/quote]

In 2017 we saw the most costly damage from weather the United States has ever seen. In the first weeks of 2018 we have seen blizzards and snow from Florida to Maine, 40 degree temperature swings and deadly flooding in California. The crazy, unpredictable weather is being felt and observed by Glp'ers from all over the world.
The goal of this thread is simply to observe, compare and contrast forecasts - to what really ends up happening. Meteorologists are wrong - ALOT. It would seem the weather has been getting harder to predict, and the storms are becoming intense. Here maybe we can piece together the puzzling weather of late. I've been wanting to create this thread for a while, because it baffles me how inaccurate forecasts have been in the past, and even more so as of recently! Here we can have a template of what was predicted, what really happened and maybe it'll help shed light on what we can expect in the future!
Feel free to post anything weather related. From links, to videos to your daily weather forecast and/or observations. The more data the better. I will give daily forecasts for a few cities including my current location. This should be interesting and fun. I'll try my hardest to update here on the regular. But i sure could use some help from you fine GLP weathertards.
