.......
Severe Weather Alert from the National Weather Service ...SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SALT LAKE CITY UT 836 AM MDT TUE SEP 9 2003 .... A TASTE OF AUTUMN MOVING IN TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY... A COLD PACIFIC STORM SYSTEM WILL MOVE ACROSS THE INTERMOUNTAIN REGION TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THIS STORM WILL PRODUCE WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF UTAH... SOUTHERN IDAHO AND EXTREME SOUTHWEST WYOMING. ALONG WITH THE PRECIPITATION THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES TO THE AREA WITH DAYTIME HIGHS IN THE 50S IN THE NORTH AND 60S AND 70S IN THE SOUTH... EXCEPT 80S IN DIXIE. THIS STORM IS EXPECTED TO BE COLD ENOUGH TO PRODUCE AT LEAST SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW OVER THE MOUNTAINS OF NORTHERN UTAH AND SOUTHERN IDAHO ABOVE 9000 FEET TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. SNOW COULD MIX IN WITH THE RAIN DOWN TO 7000 FEET. PERSONS PLANNING OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES IN THE AFFECTED AREA SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR THIS MUCH COOLER AND WET WEATHER. STAY TUNED TO YOUR FAVORITE SOURCE OF WEATHER INFORMATION FOR THE LATEST UPDATES. For some reason I've been expecting a cold wet winter. It's been some time since we've had anything on that side of the average. I don't have anything other than 23 years here to account for my feeling. There have been quite a few fires this year. Perhaps enough to cool the atmosphere. It was a *****ING* hot summer too. To my regular x-mas visitor (you know who you are) we could be into some powder days this time. If we can just get rid of the wind! Of course you do have some goggles now :-) . pigo |

I look at it this way, all that evaporated water has to come back down sometime, right? -Astro --- maximum exposure f/2.8 http://www.xmission.com/users/hound/...3-04/index.htm --- |

I just read an article where the National Weather Service is predicting that the next three months will be drier and warmer than normal. So, it will probably be colder and wetter than normal. -Astro --- maximum exposure f/2.8 http://www.xmission.com/users/hound/...3-04/index.htm --- |

I just hope we don't get the "early dumps then nothing" syndrom. I'm *really* tired of life threatening snow stability. I want to ski the fun stuff this year, without risking certain death. -klaus |

Here in San Diego hills we had a thunder shower last week, That made our summer wetter than normal all by itself. I turned off the sprinklers for 5 days. BTW, I saw a note recently here about the evaporation losses on Lake Powell. The water is not evaporating that much. After it passes through a couple of turbines to generate enough electricity so I an read newsgroups, it runs through a pipe so I can sprinkle it on my lawn. |

Actually, Glen Canyon Dam has more than a "couple" of turbines. It has a total of eight turbines with a maximum combined discharge capacity of 33,200 cfs when the lake is full. I wonder what the maximum combined discharge capacity of all the sprinklers in California is. Anyway, the eight turbine intakes are visible in the following pic that I shot last year (165kb jpeg): http://www.xmission.com/~hound/astro...canyon_001.jpg -Astro |
