Because it's so pleasant tonight, we decided to work outside. Problem is, no computer access so we're having to hand compute the forecast.

According to the equation... mild with a couple storms in the west #arwx #mathnerds

(bonus points if you know what equation this is!)

Alright! For those who guessed Quasi-Geostrophic Omega (QG Omega) equation, you're winners! We do not routinely derive or manipulate this equation by hand but it is one of the most powerful equations used in numerical weather modeling. More here: https://bit.ly/39XEQvV 

(1/2) There is an impression that all meteorologists are gifted in math. Really, many of us waded through the integrals/derivatives & wonder how we ever made it to the finish line. It's the love of weather that made the impossible possible. Never be afraid to follow your passion!

(2/2) In our operational work, we rarely if ever "do math" (especially derivations!). That said, we are happy to be a resource and would love to help and/or encourage you if this is your passion. Never hesitate to reach out -- we are here for you!
