Subject: [W8MWA] Weather Update from the NWS
Message-ID: <CAAoba3385QWfg8p=RDYVVS+7Davucs0gV74DGPXQDjXzz4g_Dg@mail.gmail.com>

The threat for severe weather on Tuesday has moved slightly south.
(Essentially the northern severe weather line runs between Fairmont and
Clarksburg.) However, we have had significant rainfall overnight. My rain
gauge measuted 1.2? as of 98:35 this morning.

With continued rainfall there is a possibility of local flooding as has
already occurred in Ohio and Western Pennsylvania. Hence the NWS does have
a Flood Watch in effect for our area.

This morning the Pittsburgh National Weather Service sent out the message
below and the attached graphic:

73,

Jeff, WB1A at L

????????????????????????????????
The NWS Pittsburgh has updated the Weather Story Showers and thunderstorms
are expected at times this morning, and again tonight through Tuesday.

Some of the storms could be severe, especially Tuesday afternoon and
evening. In addition, the potential for flooding will begin to increase,
and continue through mid week as repeated rounds of showers and
thunderstorms move across the area.

Things do change. This morning the National Weather Service had moved the
risk of severe weather on Tuesday to just south of Fairmont. At 14:00
today, they moved the severe weather treat area back north again. (See the
attached graphic.) We will see what happens over the next few hours.

The main threat is for high winds, large hail and a possible tornadoes on
Tuesday afternoon/evening.

*** Please monitor the W8MWA two-meter repeater especially tomorrow
afternoon and evening. ***

** Remember that the Pittsburgh NWS radar can not see Morgantown or
Fairmont. We are too far and past their radar limit. Plus the Morgantown
NWS transmitter (KWN-35) is currently off the air. That means that should
strong storms hit our area our weather reports will be very important and
needed.

Folks,

The Pittsburgh National Service has advised me that it may be necessary to

The weather remains clam this morning, so I checked in with Bill
Modzelewski. Bill is one of the Meteorologists who is on duty this morning
at the Pittsburgh NWS. I wanted to know of anything had changed overnight
regarding our severe weather and flood watches.

Bill?s response and the graphic that he supplied are below

Jeff, WB1AAL

==================================================

?Good morning, Jeffrey. There was just a slight shift westward to the
severe weather potential overnight, though this is not significant for the
Morgantown area. Morgantown, Fairmont and the surrounding communities are
still at an Enhanced threat for severe storms today, and the severe weather
message from us hasn't changed since yesterday.?

Apologies for the volume of weather related emails that I have sent out
over the past several days. I am aware that some folks do appreciate them
while others may find them annoying.

However, the NWS in Pittsburgh has released a number of noteworthy updates
including the graphics attached below. They contain important and relevant
information.

Attached is an updated Severe Weather Projection. You can see that much of
our area is in a lower Level 2 region. However the higher levels are not
far away.

There is also a graphic that shows the timing for the heaviest severe
weather threat. It is between 20:00 and 23:00 tonight.

Finally, there is an important graphic about flash floods. It?s worth
reviewing.

Bill sent a message saying, "*Jeffrey, please extend our thanks to the
local ham radio operator's who were on the air with the SKYWARN Net. We
appreciate their involvement very much.*"

Jeff's message said, "*Jeffrey, please thank everyone on the SKYWARN Net
for their help*."

Although the Tornado Watch for Mon and Marion Counties never became a
Tornado Warning, we were on the air and available. Your help and
participation last night with SKYWARN was deeply appreciated, Well done!

According to this morning?s report, the Pittsburgh NWS is not optimistic
about the weather conditions during tomorrow afternoon?s solar eclipse.
Below is the report that they issued this morning.

73,

Jeff, WB1AAL

========================================

Regarding the eclipse itself, we will see at least a scattered - possibly
broken - coverage in clouds during the eclipse on Monday as a weak warm
front pushes through the Ohio Valley. Additionally, high clouds forming
aloft could begin making their way over our western and southern counties
during the time of the eclipse.

I certainly wish I had better news. We could still see adjustments in
timing and overall coverage between now and then, but as of early this
morning things are not trending in the best direction for good viewing
conditions across our area.

For those who are interested, below is the eclipse forecast released by the
Pittsburgh NWS this morning. They are not very optimistic in terms of our
seeing the sun this afternoon.

Nevertheless, I will attach a graphic that lists the timing for the eclipse
here in Morgantown. Other local areas should see similar timing.

73,

Jeff, WB1AAL

======================================================
*As for the cloud cover forecast... We can summarize it this way: *

*If you are east of I-79, even the best case scenario tends to be
pessimistic of viewing conditions. Unfortunately there will be broken to
overcast clouds at 3 PM. *

*For areas west of I-79, we'll call this the "so you're saying there's a
chance" of seeing the eclipse. Depending on the timing of the moisture
movement, this area could also see a cloud deck prevail. Still, you may get
lucky if you are in the right place at the right time.*

As I?ve been out on my daily walk this morning, I?ve kept an eye to the
west. Although there is sunshine now, clouds appear to be working into the
Morgantown area

However, the Pittsburgh NWS seems to be more optimistic. Below is the
latest from the Pittsburgh NWS including a helpful graphic. It was current
as of 12:22.

73,

Jeff, WB1AAL

===============================================

?The probability of good viewing conditions areawide but most notably along
and west of I-79 appears to be improving. The back edge of the cloud zone
is basically at Cambridge, Ohil right now and should reach Morgantown
around 2:45 pm. For many other areas, there may be still low clouds but
with breaks that could offer views of the eclipse.?

Message-ID: <CAAoba30BgNqNoD8ZdZdmoQmvoSAbd7JhGsznsH+HGiioArG0UA@mail.gmail.com>

I have received the early morning NWS projection for tomorrow?s weather.
Notice from the attached graphic that most of our area has been changed
from a Level 1 to a Level 2 risk for severe thunderstorms.

Level 2 simply means that the weather service has more confidence that we
will see severe storms and a few could be significant.

An updated report will be sent out by the Pittsburgh NWS later today. I
will pass it along. Meanwhile the current report follows below.

73,

Jeff, WB1AAL

=========================================

The story this morning is the Slight Risk for severe storms tomorrow.The
Storm Prediction Center expanded the Slight Risk to just about all of
Monongalia and Marion counties.

We'll have a full updated briefing out later today. Meanwhile,after the
morning showers move through, we may stay dry until this evening.

The NWS Pittsburgh still has Monongalia, Marion and parts of Preston
Counties in a Level 2 threat for severe weather conditions on Thursday. The
main difference in this afternoon?s update is that a Level 3 threat level
has been set just to the east. (See the attached graphic.)

Severe thunderstorms are possible Thursday afternoon and evening. Damaging
wind, isolated tornadoes, and large hail are also possible.

If there is a severe thunderstorm watch issued, we will bring the SKYWARN
Net up. Please monitor the W8MWA repeater especially tomorrow afternoon and
evening.

Severe thunderstorms are possible this afternoon and evening. Damaging
wind, isolated tornadoes, and large hail are also possible.

The main change overnight is that the Lever 3 (high probability of severe
storms) has moved further east extending now into western Monongalia and
Marion Counties. The eastern side of these counties and most of Preston
County remain in a Level 2 risk.

I?ve attached several graphics were provided by the Pittsburgh NWS.

This just came in to us directly from the National Weather Service in
Pittsburgh.

?We are seeing storms increase in intensity over Marion and Monongalia
Counties WV. This is in area of stronger moisture that will likely shift
the focus for heavy rain a further east over next hour. ?

We still have a Tornado Watch in effect until 2100 this evening and an
Areal flood watch as well.

These conditions are significant enough to activate the SKYWARN Net in
standby mode on the W8MWA repeater. I will do that shortly so please
monitor the repeater.

Good morning!

We survived the Tornado Watch and, hopefully, any flooding here was minor.
Todays concern by the Pittsburgh NWS is for high winds in excess of 30 MPH.
This continues tomorrow as well. (See the attached graphic)

Allegheny and Washington Counties were severely impacted yesterday by
flooding. The images sent out last night by the NWS of local flooding where
jaw dropping.

Here?s this morning?s NWS report:

?30-40 mph gusts are possible today. While eastern Tucker County is the
only place that exceeds Advisory level winds, these gusts could still bring
down trees given the very wet soil conditions.?

On Monday, at 8:30 PM, there is a monthly North Central WV 2M SSB Net on
144.210, USB.

Right after that, we hold our usual ARES Traffic and Training Net at 9:00
PM on the W8MWA 145.430 repeater.

If you care to stay up later, there is often another informal chat SSB net
on 144.210, USB, following the ARES net.  This group frequently meets after
the ARES net  Drop in to find out more.

On Tuesday, we conduct an informal gathering at Los Mariachis Restaurant in
University Town Centre, where those who can free themselves from other
duties (i.e. retires, students, and bums)  gather to discuss philosophical
conundrums like, is "FT8 ham radio?", and "there's another $3 handy talky
from China?" We do this while getting heartburn and reflux from Mexican hot
sauce.

Later on Tuesday, we have our monthly W8MWA club meeting at the Red Cross
Building on Pineview Drive at 7:00 PM.  .  Be sure to attend, where you can
hear the dulcet voices of our secretary describing to you the exact status
of our fiscal affairs; our president, telling you that he still does not
understand why you elected him; and our West Virginia ARRL Section Manager,
describing to you why you must join ARRL or all your future QSOs will be
accompanied by a signal report of "NO COPY, RS(T) 23(9) OM, QRM., QRN, TNX

Message-ID: <CAAoba325XGexQUzaj3O_s1XEXCGEr-sOKXhDHjA7uA4Wg3KcVA@mail.gmail.com>

Folks,

There is potential for severe weather this evening in Monongalia, Marion
and Preston Counties. As a result, the Pittsburgh National Weather Service
has asked us to activate the Monongalia ARES SKYWARN Net. We will comply
with the NWS request and activate the SKYWARN Net on W8MWA repeater
(145.430 MHz, -600 offset, 103.5 P.L.)

Currently, except for some strong winds, the weather is calm here. However,
strong storms have developed over Ohio and have reached the West Virginia
Panhandle at this hour.Therefore, we will activate the SKYWARN Net at 1900
EDT (7 PM) this evening, Sunday, May 14, 2024.

*** Please monitor the W8MWA repeater. Remember the NWS needs our reports
and weather information as their RADAR can not reach Morgantown, Fairmont,
etc

*** And remember that you do not need to be a trained weather observer to
participate. Input from all stations will be welcomed and valued.

73,

Jeff, WB1AAL

The severe weather has gone north and east of us. And, although we are not
completely in the clear tonight, we have closed the Monongalia County ARES
SKYWARN Net. However, if conditions deteriorate later this evening or
tonight, please return to monitoring the W8MWA repeater.

The Pittsburgh NWS expressed their appreciation to all stations who
monitored and participated in the net.

73 and thanks,

Jeff, WB1AAL

=============================================

Severe thunderstorms never reached Monongalia, Marion and Preston Counties
yesterday. However, the front will finally approach the area this afternoon
bringing the potential for renewing severe weather around I-68.

Wednesday's system is being highlighted for potential hazardous weather
(severe thunderstorms and flooding). It bears monitoring but there is
spreading in conditions prior to its arrival that will dictate how each
threat play out. Nonetheless, the wet and stormy pattern continues.

This Pittsburgh NWS has issued a series of graphics that pretty well
describe our expected weather conditions for tomorrow. I will attach those
graphics to this email.

We are now under a Marginal Risk (Level 1 out of 5), whereas before it was
just a sliver of western PA.

Am I the only one that finds this has gotten out of hand? 20 weather related emails is excessive IMO. Perhaps it?s time for a ?weather watchers? list for this type of traffic?

All:

I'm pleased that the area has a SKYWARN liaison who is active, concerned,
and effectively working the program.  There are many areas that would be
envious.

Some of this information is of interest to me and some is not.  For the
latter, I have a handy-dandy [DEL] button.

Best regards,

Counties is 6-10 PM.

Morgantown, Fairmont and all of Preston County has a Level 1 risk (isolated
severe storms are possible.).All severe weather hazards will be possible,
but the greatest threat will be for damaging straight-line winds and large
hail.

Attached is NWS graphic showing anticipated timing for thunderstorms this

Well there are those folks that would rather complain than do something to adjust THEIR system. If you don?t want the weather notices (or any other such email) just create a filter on YOUR system to do with them as you wish. Send them to the trash, forward them to a folder, or just mark them read. Perhaps just put your head in the sand would help too.

Message-ID: <CAAoba30pE7AKNk-=H+NVb_DguY9Ut3963Bu2jB-vkdcDwercJw@mail.gmail.com>

The Pittsburgh NWS has extended the Tornado Watch to Preston County, WV.
Monongalia, Marion and Greene PA continue in the original Tornado Watch.

Currently there are no severe thunderstorm watches or warnings for any of
our counties. However, a line of storms has formed on the southern end of
the system that may be headed our way later this evening.

Should a watch or warning be issued for our area, we will immediately
activate the Monongalia County ARES SKYWARN Net.

Please monitor the W8MWA repeater on 145.430 MHz.(-600 offset, PL 103.5)

73,

Jeff

Here is the latest from the Pittsburgh NWS.

?We may very well see a change in severe character as we head into the
evening.

?Storms in northern West Virginia will decrease in severe potential. All in
all, by the time storms get to the mountains, they will lose most of their
strength. At this point, we are primarily only concerned about wind.?

The NWS has kept the Tornado Watch in effect for Monongalia, Marion,
Preston and Greene Counties. We will continue to monitor the W8MWA repeater
until the Tornado Watch is canceled.

Jan:

As I mentioned last week, I will be unable to attend our monthly meeting.

To bring you up to speed, I have a call into the BS Council to firm up the
rental of the Cub Scout pavilion for FD 2024.  Since I will be out of town
for a couple of days, I will contact them before the week?s end and have
(hopefully) confirmation by next week.
As I mentioned on the net, I need info on operator preference as to mode
and frequency and particularly type of antenna to be used so we can do
placement to cut down on interference.

Repeater net use is up; getting 15 to 20 checkins per ARES Monday evening
net.
Our checkins are fairly regular from out of county and occasionally out of
state.

I am currently going through our ARES roster to set up some teams to handle
future scenarios; will be contacting members for input.

Put a notice in Dominion Post last week about our monthly meeting;  made it
in but we have no say when it goes in (it?s a freebie).  Mig,,,shall we
check on a radio spot like we did last year?

Again, thanks to all those who participate in the Skywarn Net and in
particular to Jeff, WB1AAL.

73, Jim

The Pittsburgh National Weather Service has canceled the Tornado Watch for
Monongalia, Marion and Preston Counties. The heavy thunderstorm has also
departed most of the area. Therefore we have closed the Monongalia
County ARES SKYWARN Net.

Thanks to all who read these reports and monitored the W8MWA repeater
throughout the afternoon and evening. *You are appreciated!*

Some folks have correctly observed that recently there have been frequent
weather messages. This morning an explanation sent out from the Pittsburgh
NWS:

?You don't need me to tell you it has been a busy start to the severe
weather season. So far, the Pittsburgh National Weather Service office has
tied the most number of severe thunderstorm warnings issued year to date
with 48. The record number for a year is 360 set in 1998. We still have a
ways to go to get there and here is to hoping we don?t!?

That?s the reason. Hopefully we can look forward to several days that
should be quiet in terms of severe weather conditions and weather messages
posted  on this list.

Hello Club Leaders,



Below, I included an invitation and announcement of opening registration
for the Central States VHF Society Conference in Cedar Rapids, IA. All
events today struggle with attendance. The Central States VHF Society
maintains a strong core membership. However, we need to grow. We believe
that many amateur radio operators use 50 MHz and above.



As an ARRL Special Operating Conference, we are asking you to publish this
announcement in your newsletter.   If you need to shorten the letter, that
is fine. If you need to add to the letter, we request that you write your
own testimonial in a separate article to add weight to the invitation. At a
minimum, please consider running a super short advertisement like:

Central States VHF Society 2024 Conference Registration is Open!!!

Hello everybody,

The Central States VHF Society Conference in Cedar Rapids, IA on July
25-27, 2024 is open for registration. A great technical program provides
time to see operating rovers and microwave dishes, measure low noise
amplifiers, measure your antenna gain, and learn through one and a half
days of classroom style presentations.

Our family program shows off three historic facilities in the Cedar Rapids
area. The National Czech and Slovak Museum showcases our Czech heritage in
Cedar Rapids. The Brucemore Mansion tells the stories of two influential
families in Cedar Rapids whose legacy still impacts our community. The
Amana Colonies visit begins with a bus tour of the colonies including stops
at a communal kitchen, a church, and museum. Lunch and shopping are on your
own.

The Friday and Saturday luncheons provide an opportunity to dine with your
new and old friends and listen to a very interesting speaker. The banquet
provides a great meal, award presentations, keynote speaker, and a prize
drawing with thousands of dollars worth of prizes. Amateurs and family
members leave with something. We are pleased to announce our luncheon and
banquet presentations.

Friday Luncheon: ?902 MHz EME Roving October 2023 - 27 States in 21 Days +
WAS #1?, by Peter Van Horne, K6AU

In September 2023, I decided to make a 902 MHz EME roving trip starting
October 1, 2023.  The goals included Al, W5LUA, completing WAS #1 on 902
and helping the other active 902 EME operators complete as many states as
possible.

Saturday Luncheon: ?A DXer?s Gridpedition to EN67. Or What?s a Guy Like YOU
doing in a place like this?? by Tom Vinson, NY0V

In this presentation, Tom will take you through his journey from HF DXing
until he went on his first solo Gridpediton to EN67 in June 2023. Topics
will include how he decided which grid to activate, the equipment and
system used, how it turned out, and the lessons he learned.

Saturday Evening Banquet Keynote:  "Sights Along the Way or Snorkel and
Bounce" by Karen Orzech and Lance Collister, W7GJ

Lance and Karen will share their adventures in visiting exotic locations
that Lance activated on 6 meter EME while Karen pursued photography and
snorkeling hobbies.

You may wonder what happens at a Central States VHF Society Conference. The
following paragraphs describe the highlights of a conference. When you
attend, you can experience all of these functions. You also meet many
people who enthusiastically embrace activating the higher bands. There are
many propagation and communication modes to experience.



Two antenna ranges provide an opportunity for members to measure the gain
performance of their antennas. In past years, new designs performed well.
Sometimes, a quick adjustment provided improved performance. Antennas
ranging from 144 MHz to 10 GHz can be evaluated.



Low noise amplifiers extend range in weak signal environments. For many
bands, amateur radio operators homebrew their own low noise amplifiers. The
noise figure measurement bench provides an opportunity for the measurement
of noise figure on a world class noise figure analyzer.



Since amateur radio operators rarely experience the show and tell of
operational stations, many amateur radio operators bring rovers and
microwave dishes to Central States VHF conferences to show other
enthusiasts how simple or complex these stations can be. Weather
permitting, we will be herded down the line of stations. Each owner then
discusses the unique features of their stations.



Vendors display and sell their products in our vendor room. Some products
are brand new. Some used. Some vendors salvage test equipment and
commercial products to provide items that are useful in the VHF and higher
bands.



Members share innovations, adventures, technological advancements, and
operating practices in a series of presentations on Friday afternoon and
all day Saturday. The hospitality suites provide an informal opportunity to
interact with each other.
