Odd Signals on West Coast and Odd Weather in Heartland

January 30th, 2013  @  0000 LA Time

While signal strength has been weaker during the last few days and remains somewhat weaker now when compared to what I perceive as normal, the signals nevertheless seem to be strengthening over the last day or so.  However, the combination of the signal strengths seems to be of a sort that I don’t recall experiencing in the past.  It’s as if the signals are all coming together.  Actually, it seems more like the signals are colliding.  It’s odd.  Someday maybe I will be able to install some permanent monitoring stations/equipment to measure and record the actual changes in the signal strengths. 

Tonight it’s as if the both of the complementary saints and the angels – as well – are all singing at once but not in unison – of course.  Such a scenario as what I noted tonight doesn’t ordinarily seem to happen.

Wide area of U.S. faces unusual tornado threat in January

http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/01/30/us-usa-weather-tornadoes-idUSBRE90T06D20130130

Over the last five days or so, the barometer has sort of went through a trough decreasing from 30.1 inHg to 29.9 and then returning 30.2; with minor peaks and troughs fluctuating above and below 30.2 inHg over the last two days or so.

The Saints and the Angels were Singing this Evening – but not too strongly.

Christmas Tornados

December 26th, 2012

I am currently on the east coast.  As I have no permanent monitoring equipment in place on the west coast to monitor my typically supervised signals when I am not there, signals that might someday relay a correlation of these measured signals from the Pacific Ocean to the appearance of tornadoes in the continent, I don’t know what was happening in the atmosphere on the Pacific coast prior to the appearance of the multitude of tornadoes that appeared in the continent yesterday, Christmas day. 

Reports say there were no fatalities.  However, hereby would like to express my sympathies to those affected by these storms. 

With any luck, someday I may be able to relay something worthwhile from these monitoring efforts.  That is to say, with any dedicated and permanent monitoring equipment, maybe some significant advance warning system might come to fruition to give advance warning as to the likelihood of the appearance of tornados in the interior of the United States.

December 25-26 storm: record Christmas tornado outbreak in South, heavy snow, rain to north

Widely Fluctuating Signals of Late

December 5th, 2012

Of late, the measured signals have been fluctuating widely, both stronger and weaker than the recent norm of signal strengths.  It appears that the signals are weakening to their normal levels of a few years back, or so.  I am unsure if this shift in signal strength is due merely to the change in seasons or if something more significant is taking place.  Too bad I have not been able to outfit permanent monitoring apparatus for my studies.  Maybe at some point in the future I will.

Weak Signals of Late

October 11th, 2012


Measured signals have been considerably weaker than normal of late.  A winter storm passed through with lower barometric pressure as well.  Barometer has been down to a bit under 29.9 inHg and is rising abit over the course of today on its way back to 30.0.  Water spouts were reported down the coast today.

Southern California Areas See Stormy Skies, Water Spout

(Next day entry)  So I went for a better and more reliable type of snapshot this evening October 12th.  As it turns out, I wouldn't say the signals are weaker - as the saints and  the angels were singing loudly, however, I would  say that maybe the signals have reverted to their more historic levels in comparison to the last several years.  So, I'm not really sure if the historic levels are now weaker than normal or if such merely has to do with the storms that passed through.  (See:  http://theultimateroadtripamericac2c.blogspot.com/2010/01/winter-storms-in-california.html .)  The barometer is still rising. And on the television news this evening there were some more reported waterspouts over the ocean - however I didnt hear the story so I'm not sure if they were from today or more photos of ones from yesterday.

Weak Signals Yesterday, Storms Today in Midwest, 9/12/12

Sept. 12th, 2012

My measured signals were considerably weaker over the last day and a half, or so.  Today, heavy storms are forecast for much of the midwest.  I have yet to be able to check the signals today (blog entry written at 0930 WST).  Barometer appeared to be falling over the last day or so to 29.95 inHg.  However, over the last few hours the  barometer has risen to about 30.05 inHg. 







Later today, after I blogged the previous paragraph, I went to check signals again.  I wouldn't say the signals are weak but I would say the signals have weakened from the abnormally strong signals of late to what would be a typically normal signal strength - more or less.  Barometer at the time of the check about 29.95 inHg.

Record Low Number of Tornadoes for July, 2012.

August 31^st, 2011

It was widely reported that the number of tornadoes across the nation last month was the lowest number ever recorded for the month of July.  Coincidently (or in keeping with my theory), tonight my monitored (snapshot) signals seemed to be as strong as I ever remember.  It seems that the stronger the signals, the less likelihood of the appearance of tornadic storms downwind in the nation’s heartland. 

Unfortunately, I was unable to monitor July’s signal conditions as I was on the east coast for most of that month.  However, before I headed east, I recall the signals were becoming steadily stronger.  I suspect the signals were strong during the month of July as well.

PS.  However, I don't know how my model should account for the remnants of hurricane Issac moving through much of the nation.
