Wow! Nicer weather than what we've got here in the Madison area of Wisconsin!

64f, wind 4 from nw gust to 11 mph, humidity 43%

Expect 90f. today 56 night.. 94 tomorrow

[illy dilly]

Sounds damned delightful if ya ask me!
Must have rained last night there? 43% humidity is a lot for the Playa isn't it?

[Eric]

I'm loving Bob's post above- it always has the "Now" weather, no matter when you enter this thread.

Looks like 90 yesterday. Not too unbearable, even if I have to leave my fogged in haven to get there...

It depends on the time of day.

Weather School...
As air temperature changes, so does its ability to hold moisture.
Cold air can hold less moisture, so as temperatures drop in the evening, the air becomes more saturated (humid) even though the actual amount of water in the air stays the same.

Here are some graphs (they are live) from my backyard (high desert ~120 miles away). It's dry here. No major systems moved through in the last few days but you'll see that the the humidity (bottom graph) is all over the place. Notice how it corrolates with the temp graph.

It's from the org's weather station mounted atop their Gerlach office tower.

[weather man]

The outdoor humidity sensor has been busted since at least last year.
I'll have a station on the playa again this year.
Will be gifting forecasts-"Hot and dry during the day, cool and dark in the evenings"

[Bob]

From Fallon NV, for comparison. Your humidity might vary.

[illy dilly]

"Hot and dry during the day, cool and dark in the evenings"

LOL!
Or better yet, "When the Sun comes up its gonna start to get hot. After sunset the temperature will drop"

Either way, Your down the street. We're the Gnome Dome at 3:30 and G.
We'll have a big red dome with white spots, like a mushroom cap.

[FuckingEh]

I like how from 7am to 11am, the temperature bumps up 5-degrees every hour. Interesting.

[felony]

George Carlins forcast went something like " Tonight dark, with widely spreading light by morning"

[Dr Jet Sinister]

I really wish we were there instead of here.

[FIGJAM]

"Tonight, dark. Continued mostly dark tonight changing to widely scattered light in the mourning."

[goathead]

desert is waiting to burn

[MyDearFriend]

desert is waiting to burn

(((Goathead)))


I can't tell you how my heart swells to see that


thank you

[goathead]

no, no, no

bad thing

desert has thick blanket of cheet grass, would be a major fire right now....

fire needs to stay on the playa

where it belongs

[MyDearFriend]

sorry

[weather man]

It's rained in Reno the last few afternoons. From the looks of the radar, it looks like the playa may be getting some now (Jul31 afternoon).

Golden Spike coming up- I hope they don't need to use a boat!

Eat dust

[junglesmacks]

I'm curious how the nightime temps this summer are comparing to last years pre-TTITD. Seems pretty warm at night? We could be having some pretty warm night temps this year I'm thinking?

[unjonharley]

ON THE PLAYA NOW

76 degrees, Expect 96 today and 56 tonight.. Wind out of the south @ 10 gust to 30

My weather comes from Weather Underground (Gerlach Nv.

It will differ from 11 miles out on the playa..

Gerlach weather is just a close rule to look at..
