I am pleased to announce the addition of sortable hail, wind and tornado reports to the WeatherMatrix StormMatrix, which already shows you national NEXRAD-tagged storm information. http://www.weathermatrix.net/stormmatrix/ You can now see the SPC Hail Reports, Wind Reports and Tornado Reports for Today and Yesterday, color coded by severity, and sort on any column, as well as plot the location...

Old-school forecasting Farmers aren't turning to farmers almanacs anymore. At least not to forecast the weather for their crops. While they turn to radio, television and the Internet for weather advice, modern-day farmers read the almanacs more for nostalgia and to check information against other sources. at http://www.washtimes.com/metro/20040518-092847-2827r.htm

Looks like the main force of super typoon Nida has curved away from the Philippines, but local news suggests there has been a fair bit of damage even though the direct hit may have been avoided. https://metoc.npmoc.navy.mil/jtwc/warnings/wp0404sa.gif Cheers, Phred. --

I've written a simple Windows viewer application for the archived NEXRAD Level II data files from the NCDC. I tried some of the other apps out there but they were unusably slow and used huge amounts of memory. My app has extremely fast arbitrary zooming and panning of the reflectivity, velocity, and spectrum width sweeps. You can load multiple files and step through them. Here's a link to a page...

I have been viewing the NWS (then WB) Daily Weather Maps on-line, and compared to some of the products produced today, the maps from the 50's and 60's were really nice presentations, even works of art! Some things done then that have been lost over the years: Air Mass Analysis, where the Daily Weather Map (DWM) was labeled with things like cT, mPk and even the air mass S. Fronts Aloft, when...

NOAA has posted a free on-line archive of their daily weather map series. The first map in the seruies is dated Jan 1 1972. Each file is quite large (about 2M) and a special plug-in is required to view. http://docs.lib.noaa.gov/rescue/dwm/data_rescue_daily_weather_maps.html

NOAA has placed on-line archived copies of the Monthly weather review from when it was published by the federal government. The link below contains files from 1949 (Volume 77) to 1972. I expect that earlier copies will be uploaded Thanks to all at NOAA who made this possible!!!!! http://docs.lib.noaa.gov/rescue/mwr/

Sunshine study finds world's darkened since '50s By KENNETH CHANG New York Times In the second half of the 20th century, the world became a darker place. Defying expectation and explanation, hundreds of instruments around the world recorded a drop in sunshine reaching the surface of Earth, as much as 10 percent from the late 1950s to the early '90s, or 2 to 3 percent per decade. In some areas...
