(WKRN) — Tropical Depression 26 has now strengthened to become Tropical Storm Delta.
Of course, 5 days out, details are subject to change, but residents along the Gulf Coast from the Texas/Louisiana border to the Alabama/Florida border should be keeping a close eye on this system and prepare to take action.
I really enjoy your posts, especially FB stuff, but how far in advance do you queue your postings?
ReplyDeleteYeah, this article was outdated 8 hours after I scheduled it.
DeleteBut in answer to your question, I schedule my Sunday through Thursday posts a day up front. For Friday, I schedule non-news items starting Wednesday, then fill in the news items Thursday.
I do collect news items all week long for posting, so news that isn't really pressing sometimes doesn't get posted for 3-4 days. It's just used for filler.
Well Kenny, you're obviously a slacker.
Delete"It's just used for filler."
And yet, somehow you're still one of the best news aggregators out there!
Seriously, I try to give y'all at least 20 posts a day and I need filler posts to do that. I do try to keep it interesting though, and try to find oddball news.
DeleteYou better keep an eye open too, K-man. It's slated to come up and pretty much blanket Tennessee as a subtropical depression. You could get some serious rain and moderate winds from it.
ReplyDeleteVentusky.com is showing an inch or two of rain for Friday and Saturday here. That's a pretty accurate weather site and I depend on it more than I do local forecasts.
DeleteIt's cool though, we haven't had but a half inch of rain since the 14th of last month.
It's moving so fast that hopefully, you'll only get that inch or two. Sally dumped almost 30 inches on our asses and thousands of trees were blown over by the roots.
DeleteWe stayed ahead of the flooding with shop vacs until the power went out. Then the garage and back den took a swim.
I go directly to NOAA for weather. I also use Predict Wind although WindyT also uses the various computer models which can be accessed by the user.
ReplyDeleteAll models show anywhere from the TX/LA border to New Orleans within the impact zone. All models also show the TS intensifying to at least a Cat 2 by landfall early Friday afternoon. Although the storm will lose significant strength at landfall, it looks like it will crawl up the Mississippi valley. Western TN should be on watch especially for heavy rains Saturday evening and a 2nd band Sunday morning.
NOAA likes to remind you that anything happening besides blue skies and birds singing is the fault of man-made climate change. WindyT and Accu-Weather radar are pretty good. It's hard to make radar and wind indicators lie.
DeleteBut all weather forecasting for the most part is accurate maybe about 6 hours out. Anything further out is a guess. Especially when it has to do with GOM weather patterns.
I thought WKRN was in Cincinnati
ReplyDeleteOoops That was WKRP
I swear I thought turkeys could fly
