Double bows on the drive home. Dramatic! #azwx @NWSPhoenix

@PeterVogel @grok @wimo_de @Nooelec Look at our anomalous strong high pressure “heat dome “. Hit 41 here today. Broke all the records for March heat.

Three terrific shots from the METEOR satellites today, two from 2-4, one from 2-3. All cleaned up a little in @Grok, to remove signal dropout lines. From passes near to Metro Vancouver, ranging from 22 W, to 55 E. TA-1 turnstile antenna from @wimo_de, radio gear from @Nooelec. @CadiereGerald @drmna_info @eschecter @SeattleWXGuy @KGordonGlobalBC @dariusjmahdavi @BCNewsAddict @Brad604

@PeterVogel It’s 40°C down here today. Too much, too early!

Could it be? Warmth coming to the PNW? These projections should always be seen as just that, projections, not forecasts.

@PeterVogel @CadiereGerald @SV2HWM @BorgersonS I’ve seen that happen from time to time. I think it’s a calibration routine.

METEOR M 2-4 with a little strange output from Raspi NOAA. Pass was far to the E for me here in Vancouver. Turnstile antenna. @CadiereGerald @SV2HWM @BorgersonS @eschecter

@Brody_wx @drhenz_wx Wish this was an AI hallucination, but it looks quite real. Dang..

Each and every CPC outlook update gets more extreme. Such an insanely prolonged, historic heatwave coming.

@ATTHelp we are constantly having outages at our office located at 6006 South 30th St, Phoenix, AZ 85042. Your outage map shows one now. Please r we port this issue as chronic!

2p this afternoon view from atop South Mt. Rain showers over the valley, but the cleared out in short order. #azwx

@iCyclone May her memory be a blessing.

Goodbye to my beloved Aunt Eileen. 💔 Thank you, Rabbi Sara Abrams, for the nice service.

@PeterVogel Will in work on the Inovato platforms? An alternative to Raspberry Pi hardware.

HamClock lives! "We have completed the backend rebuild of Hamclock!! We will soon be hosting it on a server. We have made the backend more robust and non dependent on Clearsky. For data. It is faster, more accurate and the refresh rate far better. We are in the process of setting up a small website where you can download the new Hamclock software and you will be back in action without any worries." Paul W2EUA

@PeterVogel @K3TripleR @DustinFinn @hamradio2dot0 Very nice tribute Peter.

@PeterVogel I don’t find where you can adjust the panels on the web version. Are you running on a Pi?

Today's work with OpenHamClock.com... Experimenting with the "Dockable" layout, featuring resizeable and draggable panels with tabs. Promising, but looks rather empty on a 4K display. Yes, I can fill it up with POTA and Contests but I'd rather it be able to display multiple space weather parameters. And I've yet to get it to display any WSPR data of mine. FT8, yes, it can handle that, although the lines are very difficult to see. @K3TripleR @DustinFinn @Mike_Coletta @eschecter

@PeterVogel Thanks for the post. I sent email earlier. I saw your comments about including PSK reporting.

OpenHamClock to the rescue... In an effort to preserve the amazing work of WB0EBW, we are seeing an equally amazing and rapid rollout of the vestiges of a replacement, should the original HamClock shut down in June. Check out the amazing work already completed at openhamclock.com In the meantime, here are four views of OpenHamClock in action. If it eventually runs and auto updates and auto starts on a Raspberry Pi I for one will be happy. But the real demand will be on the web application. Just go to a site! Kudos to all behind this initiative. Here are several views of the project, as of 1645 UTC/Feb 03. @K3TripleR @CadiereGerald @drmna_info @eschecter @DustinFinn

@papahenz_wx Really accumulated overnight. Probably 5-8” with a good shot at more today

@papahenz_wx Mt Bigelow a short time ago. Started as liquid, been snow for a few hours now.

Pac storm center is on move bringing different types/amts to NAZ/SCAZ/SEAZ. EIR Sat loop at 2PM MST shows track of closed low headed into SCAZ and 2nd cold trough/surge close on its heels. GEFS model shows TUS getting hvy precip tonight, PHX today/Thu and mtn snows Thu. 🤔 #azwx

@13chuckb @PeterVogel You are correct! facebook.com/share/r/189dYJ…

@eschecter @PeterVogel Likely a practice flight for the Fiesta Bowl Flyover

Summary: Maduro events.

@PeterVogel It departed Sky Harbor Air National Guard base. See start of path between the HO of Phoenix.

@eschecter Interesting. Can you zoom out to see origin

@PeterVogel That’s so cool!

@eschecter Yes, it's working. Yes, I am logged in with a Google account.

Interesting application using ChatGPT Here's a novel way of using one of the artificial intelligence applications for an amateur radio application. It's basically a custom GPT. Here's the link: wwgpt.oh2bua.fi and here are examples of the output. The fourth one didn't appear automatically. I asked the custom GPT to create a graphical view of the data. @K3TripleR @N4JAW @HamRadioBasics @eschecter @drmna_info @hamradio2dot0

@PeterVogel In fact I did have to log into it with my Google credentials and it worked. Though there is one issue: It thinks DM43 is in West Texas. Thanks for the post.

@eschecter Not sure Eric. It runs, or at least in my tests yesterday, ran straight up for me.

Back from a 2 mile walk around the lake and this greeted me. #azwx #nofilter
