Creston Heat Index of 147?

[cyclonedave25]

Well, I guess we can calculate the heat index ourselves.. Here's the formula:
Any takers?

I wont trust your roommate until he receives his official degree. Sorry!

Well, from my time in school, I've actually come to trust meteorology students more than a lot of major weather outlets. NWS is a good one, but a lot of TV stations have people that just rely on the computer models, while the meteorology program here has the kids doing all their own math and looking at hard data every day. I think you'd be surprised at how good some of these kids are.

I think you are underestimating the power of that paper degree...

There is a Meteorlogy major working for me this summer and he has been wrong on several occassions.

Maybe that stick-your-finger-in-your-mouth-and-hold-it-up-to-determine-the-direction-of-the-wind thing or something similar could determine the HI within reasonable precision instead

I will take this weather over last winter anytime!

So, he's pretty much the same as actual meteorologists?? :wink::biggrin:

Next year I would prefer the sudden warm-up hits us in January or February rather than mid-July

What if some of the people at those tv stations are "those kids?" :skeptical: Or did I just forget all that stuff from ISU when I walked in front of the cam?

Is that you Ed Wilson? Try getting 1 forecast right per week Ed and we might take you seriously.

we will never hear from anybody from Creston again ... not a big loss, but noteable.

Hey now Creston isn't as bad as it's reputation... believe it or not there are good people here:yes:

 

[CP44]

THEY LIVE!

And why wouldn't we?

Yes my hometown is about 20 miles south of Creston. Outside of the Meth and pill poppers its not all bad.

116 Heat Index in West Liberty. Ouch

Where is Brett McIntyre when we need clarification?

Just checking out this website and noticed some of the dew points and heat index readings as high as 147 in Creston.
Weather Guru's........Can this be right?

He's at work :wink:

I would say that is probably incorrect. The sensor probably needs calibrating or is installed in a bad spot (right next to a cornfield?). Equipment that measures humidity/dew points are pretty touchy to begin with, so it's likely in need of repair. The other links in this thread are good to double check.
