N.Y., a corporation of Delaware Filed May 22, 1958, Ser. No. 737,099 4- Claims. (Cl. S40-146.3)
The present invention relates to a circuit arrangement for detecting a postage stamp on mail items, by means of photo-electric scanning.
In some of the methods of locating the stamp, hitherto proposed, it is only possible to detect either the dark or the light-coloured mail items. In the case of dark letters, for example, the white edges of the postage stamps are evaluated during the scrutiny, so that either the brightness value of the edges is compared with the brightness value of the remaining portion of the respective mail item, or the pulses which are produced at the respective transitions from the letter to the edge of the stamp or vice versa owing to the jumps in brightness, are employed to indicate the position of the stamp. In the case of light mail items, on the other hand, it has been proposed to compare the direct current component of the stamp location with the direct current component of the remaining portion that has been examined. In another case, it has also been proposed to compare the deg-ree of the light reflection of letters and postage stamps, or of the edges of the stamps with each other, since it has been found that the light refiection-capacity of all conventional postage stamps is at about 4() to 60%, assuming the reflection capacity of the white surfaces to be 100%.
All these methods of evaluation have in common that, in order to detect light letters, the scanning has to be effected over the surface and the detection of dark letters has to be effected column-wise. In order to evaluate all types of mail items, therefore, it is usually necessary to provide two `separate scanning devices, in order to be able to switch over from the one to the other if so required. Before switching-over, it would therefore, be necessary to determine first of all whether a light or a dark-coloured mail item is to -be scanned, or both detecting systems must be arranged in series and the mail items successively passed through both systems. The latter, of course, involves increased expense.
It is the object of the present invention to provide a circuit arrangement capable of detecting the presence or absence of stamps on all letters without the necessity for previous examination of the brightness of the surfaces of the mail items, and which does not consist of a simple series arrangement of the systems for evaluation of light and dark mail items. The invention is a circuit arrangement for detecting a postage stamp on a mail item by means of photo-electric scanning wherein, according to the lightness ofthe envelope, two basic evaluation methods are employed, one of which (for light mail items) consists of comparing the characteristic values of the stamp, appearing during the scanning process, with the scanning signals of the envelope, while the other (for dark mail items) consists of comparing the characteristic values of the edge of the stamp, as obtained in the course of the scanning process, with the scanning signals of the envelope.
According to the invention for both of the evaluation methods, one common photocell which scans columnwise and with the corresponding amplifier arrangement is provided, and the remaining arrangements or devices for carrying out the two methods are so connected in two parallel paths between the photocell device and the output Mice that the path corresponding to the brightness of the examined letter or the like is selected automatically.
The circuit arrangement according to the invention can be simplified by arranging only those circuit elements used in the two methods, and which mutually exclude each other in parallel paths and that the parts of the same kind are used in common. In certain cases, it is also an advantage to use the one path only for the evaluation of the light components and the other path only for the evaluation of the dark components. This is particularly desirable, for example, in those methods in which the degree of the light reflection is evaluated. In that case, the path for evaluating the light components comprises an amplitude lter or limiter, the pass-band of which is designed for a current corresponding to the reflecting power of lighter surfaces than that of the postage stamp, and a flip-dop circuit which is tilted by the output signal of the amplitude filter into a predetermined position, and in this position produces an output signal, while the path for evaluating the dark components comprises in series an amplifier, a low-pass filter and an amplitude filter or limiter, the pass-band of which is dimensioned for a current corresponding to the reflecting power of the postage stamp. In the case of coincidence between the output signals of the iiip-ffo-p circuit and of the second amplitude filter, an identification signal is produced. For this purpose, these two output signals control a coincidence gate which, in the known manner, delivers lan output signal if a predetermined potential appears on both inputs.
The invention is described in particular with reference to the drawing, as an example.
In this example it can be assumed that the reflecting power of the letter envelope and stamp is to act as criterion for the identification of the stamp.
The letters travel past the photocell 1 and the photocell 2, and it is advisable for both devices to be arranged vertically over each other with respect to the direction of movement of the letter. 'I'he letter is scanned by a column-type photocell I2, i.e. the letter is illuminated at an angle of 45 and the reflected light picked-up by the photocell. The photocell 2 current so produced then acts as a measure for the refieotion power of the area just scanned. The photocell 2 current is amplified by the amplifier 3, which is adjusted to a predetermined value. In the condition wher-e no letters are to be scanned, the light striking photocell 1 is detected and the flip-op reset lead 4 is energized keeping fiip-flop circuit 4 in its G position, i.e. the flip-flop circuit is prevented from being tilted into its position l1. This blocking of the flip-flop circuit is eliminated when the light striking photocell 1 is interrupted at the time a letter travels between photocell 1 and the light source L.
The amplified photocell 2 signal then arrives at the branching point 5 and is fed to the low-pass iilter 6 over one path and over a different path to the amplitude iilter 7. The output of filter 7 is coupled to the input of stage 1 of the flip-flop 4. Filter f6 may be any well-known lowpass filter of the simple inductance-capacitor type wherein the inductance is in series with the input and output leads of the filter and the condenser is connected from the junction point of the inductance and output lead to the common or ground lead. In order to distinguish between the light reflected from the edge of a stamp and the variations in light resulting from scanning printed matter and the like, the filter `6 is limited to passing frequencies up to cycles per second. This frequency may vary according to the scanning rate. Thus, light variations from printed matter occur much more frequenltly than the light variations from the stamp and ilter 6 then can distinguish therebetween.
The amplitude filter or limiter 7 may be any wellknown limiter of the biased-diode type wherein a rectifier diode is in series with the signal path and biased against conductivity until an input signal exceeding the bias voltage is fed to the diode. In the instant case, the limiter 7 conducts when the photocell signals representing at least 75% reflectivity are fed thereto. Examples of such lirniters may be found in Radar Electronics Fundamentals, NAVSHIPS 900,016, pages 159 and 1612, 1944 edition, and Radar System Engineering, MIT Series, volume I, page 505. Between the branching point and the low-pass filter 6', a cut-ofi amplifier 8 can also be arranged intermediate point 5 and the input of filter 6l. This amplifier may be of any well-known conventional design which functions to prevent the frequency-dependent input resistance of filter 6 from reacting upon the branching point 5. Since filter 6 is a simple low-pass filter, the high frequencies which are to be fed through limiter 7 are likely to be cut off unless it is isolated therefrom by a buffer or cut-off amplifier. The low-pass filter y6 is tuned to a frequency ranging from about 0 to about 100 c./s., while the amplitude limiter 7 only passes voltages corresponding to a reflection power of more than 75 is noted. Assuming a light-coloured letter, reset lead 15 is de-energized and a photocell voltage which corresponds to a reflection value of about 100%, passes through the amplitude limiter 7 since the input voltage is sufficient to overcome the biasing voltage. This causes the [tilting of the flip-flop storage device 4 and prepares the coincidence gate 9. Amplitude filter or limiter is similar to the noted limiter 7 except that it will pass signals between 40% and 60% reflectivity only. This limiter is also of the well-known type wherein ltwo parallel diodes are provided with each biased to a different level. The output of the 60% limiter branch is fed to any well-known inverter whose output is coupled to the output of the 40% branch. In this way, the signals passing through limiter 10- are restricted to the noted 40% to 60% level.
When the stamp edge is scanned, experience has proven that the photocell 2 receives signals between 40% and 60% of the signal reflection resulting from a white envelope. Examples of this parallel type limiter configuration may be found on the same pages of the above referenced publications. The photocell signal corresponding to the postage stamp therefore passes through the lowpass filter 6 and the amplitude limiter 10, which only passes signals corresponding to a reflecting power of 40 to 60%, to the other input of fthe coincidence gate 9, which is thereby opened and delivers an output signal. The coincidence gate 9 operates only when pulses are applied to its inputs leading from the "1 stage of liipflop y4 and from the filter 110 and then on condition that there is no pulse applied to its inhibiting input leading from filter 14.
In this arrangement, a photocell is employed which scans in columns, which is done, for example, by means of a slotted diaphragm. The slotted diaphragm serves Vfor the scanning of the edge of fthe postage stamp, While for the detection of the surface of the stamp a square diaphragm is suitable. In order to reduce the cost, one 'slotted diaphragm is used for both scanning operations; in that case, however, care must be `taken that the slotted diaphragm can also carry out surface scanning. For this purpose, the low-pass filter 6 is provided which carries out the corresponding integration.
If a relatively dark letter appears in front of the photocell and has a reflecting power of about the same order as the postage stamp, then the edge of the stamp is 'scanned as a criterion. In that case, only one White edge is evaluated because many stamps are not printed exactly in the center, so that one white edge might be lost. The photocell signal produced by the stamp or letter is fed through the amplitude limiter 10 and opens the gate 9, if the flip-flop circuit has already been tilted by a vfront edge of the stamp. In the other case, the output signal of the amplitude limiter only prepares the gate 9 and the white pulse, produced at the rear edge of the stamp, tilts the flip-flop circuit into position 1, so that the second criterion for the gate 9 is present. Since the signal from the amplitude limiter 7 is in practice applied immediately to the flip-flop circuit, and, consequently, to the gate 9, and the signal of the amplitude limiter 101, due to the cut-off frequency of c./s. of the low-pass filter 6, is present for a relatively long time on the gate 9, lthe coincidence is ensured in any case. rIhe output pulse of the coincidence gate is sent on to the control device.
In practice, it is possible for the Writing or the like (advertisement printing) on the envelope is of such kind that in the scanning process simulates a stamp signal which, would cause faulty evaluations. In the case of white letters, for example, the printing characters may, after passage through the low-pass filter 6, give rise to a mean refiection, ranging between 40 and 60%, so that this might cause a signal to pass .through the limiter 10 and operate the gate 9, the effect of which would beassuming the the flip-flop circuit has already been tiltedto release the process, which actually should only take place after a stamp has been identified.
For this reason, an arrangement is provided which in these cases precludes the appearance of any output signal at the gate 9. This arrangement consists of the rectifier 11, the input amplifier 12, the low-pass filter 113 for frequencies from about 0 to 100 c./s., and the amplitude limiter 14, which has similar properties to the limiter 7.
The output of the limiter -14 is applied to the gate 9. The circle on this input indicates that the gate is closed. The print elimination is effected by integrating the signals coming from ,the amplitude limiter 7 and capacitor C by means of the rectifier 11 and low-pass filter 113, the latter having the same characteristics as previously described filter 6. If the integration value reaches a certain predetermined value, the gate 9 is closed. This predetermined value is such .that it is not reached when the signals produced at the scanning of a postage stamp are integrated but is reached when printing characters are scanned. The value of capacitor C is such that it passes signals which correspond to the sharp variations in light values, i.e. from black to white. Unless these sharp variations reach a suflicient number or that their amplitude is below a predetermined value, they will not pass through filter 141 and no signal will be derived from the output thereof. As the low-pass filters 6 and 13 have the same time constants the gating circuit is acted upon simultaneously by the amplitude limiter 10 and the amplitude limiter 14.
Of course, it is also possible to employ the suggested arrangement in the path, for the evaluation of dark letters, and this arrangement responds to the presence of double pulses, the spaced relation of which corresponds to the width of the postage stamps.
After the identification of a postage stamp, a signal is therefore obtained on the output of the gating circuit 9, which can be used to convey the letter to a corresponding storage compartment. If no output signal is received, the letter can assume three different positions until it is in the position in which the postage stamp passes in front of the scanning device. In order to prevent the letter being scanned four times, and the manual or mechanical turning over of the let-ters involved, the letters can also be simultaneously scanned at four different places, i.e. at the top and bottom on the front and rear sides. Thus, four of the arrangements described are needed, and that particular arrangement which detects a stamp is used to control the letters.
The filters and time-determining elements used in the circuit must be tuned to the travelling speed of the letters.
In the example described, [these elements are adapted to a travelling speed of 2 metres per second.
a1-Lise The arrangement according to the invention is not restricted to the detection of stamps on letters. It can be used with advantage whenever it is necessary to detect identication marks on documents which can be electrically characterized in any suitable manner with respect to the documents themselves.

Sabres-Ducks Preview
Associated Press | Last updated February 28, 2012
The Buffalo Sabres and Anaheim Ducks have been making strong pushes since last month, but both teams suffered losses their last time out. They know they can't afford too many more defeats if they want to overcome their poor starts and make the playoffs. The clubs close out their season series with the Ducks looking to avoid a third straight loss to the Sabres on Wednesday night at Honda Center. Anaheim (27-26-10) has been rolling since finally getting itself together in early January, going 17-4-4 in its last 25 games. The Ducks, though, still have a lot of work to do to overcome their rough start, as they're in 13th place in the Western Conference. As well as they've been playing, defeats such as Monday's 4-1 loss at Colorado may prove very costly. The Ducks were seeking their third straight win but faded late against another team that has been playing desperate hockey as it tries to earn a postseason berth. Anaheim was outscored 3-0 in the third period, perhaps a result of fatigue from playing for the third time in five nights. "It's a grind for every team," center Rod Pelley said. "Every game is a playoff-atmosphere game and we're in a position where we can't have a night off or be sluggish or not have energy. Unfortunately, we can't afford that right now." The Ducks, who went 6-2-2 during a stretch in which they played all but one game on the road, didn't make any moves at the trade deadline, preferring to stick with the roster that's worked them back into contention. They'll play their next two and three of four at home, where they've gone 9-1-1 in their last 11. Buffalo (27-27-8) has also played much better of late, going 8-3-3 in its last 14, but the Sabres also face a predicament in having to leapfrog numerous teams to make the playoffs. They are in 12th place in the East and are also trying to hold off three clubs that are just a few points behind them. The Sabres have been off since Saturday, when they managed to pick up a point but were unable to hold a third-period lead in a 3-2 overtime loss to the New York Rangers. Drew Stafford's second goal of the game 44 seconds into the third put Buffalo up 2-1, but the Rangers answered less than 5 minutes later. "We worked hard and we battled for a point," Stafford said. "We just have to keep our focus and doing our best. It's an uphill climb." The Sabres, who had won three straight, have gone 3-0-2 in their last five. "We could have won the game," coach Lindy Ruff said. "We need those extra points." Cody Hodgson, acquired from Vancouver before the deadline Monday for fellow rookie forward Zack Kassian, could make his Sabres debut in this game. Anaheim goaltender Jonas Hiller can tie a team record by making his 23rd straight start Wednesday, a mark held by Jean-Sebastien Giguere and Guy Hebert. Hiller came into Monday having posted a 1.69 goals-against average in his previous 12 games. Buffalo beat the Ducks 4-1 on Oct. 7 at home, getting two goals and an assist from Thomas Vanek and a goal and two assists from Jason Pominville. The Sabres' Ryan Miller has allowed three goals in winning the last two meetings between the teams.

For others at the airport, it was just a relief to be returning home.
Dan Braum of Kansas got a big welcome to Seattle from his grandsons. The welcome was even sweeter because earlier in the day he wasn't sure he'd make it to Washington at all.
"It was a cluster," he said. "It was a great snafu. It was a mess."
Heavy rain and snow created a mess in Kansas City and other midwestern areas, causing more than 1,000 canceled flights and creating a ripple effect throughout the country.
The storm, which dumped a foot of snow in parts of Iowa and more than 19 inches in Wisconsin's state capital, was part of a system that began in the Rockies earlier in the week before trekking into the Midwest. It was expected to move across the Great Lakes overnight before moving into Canada.
The majority of Southwest Airlines flights to and from Chicago Midway were canceled on Thursday night, but Sandra Jones made it out just in time.
"I left all the snow," she said. "Everybody back there is happy for snow at Christmas. I'll go to Bellevue and see the snow made."
Airlines were waiving fees for customers impacted by the storm who wanted to change their flights. They were monitoring the storm throughout the night to determine if more cancellations would be necessary on Friday.
The cancellations were getting a lot of attention because the storm came just a few days before Christmas. But Daniel Baker, CEO of flight tracking service FlightAware.com, called it "a relatively minor event in the overall scheme of things."
By comparison, airlines canceled more than 13,000 flights over a two-day period during a February 2011 snowstorm that hit the Midwest. And more than 20,000 flights were canceled during Superstorm Sandy.
More than 100,000 passengers are expected to come through Sea-Tac on Friday, making it one of the busiest travel days of the holiday season.

Sept. 10, 2011
Long Beach, Calif. - No. 22 Long Beach State was in total control in the first set Saturday against Oregon State, but the match slipped away as the Beavers upset the 49ers 10-25, 25-20, 25-23, 19-25, 15-12 in the final match of the Long Beach State Baden Classic.
Long Beach State led every statistical category except the final score, as the 49ers outhit the Beaverrs .251 to .168 and had more kills, blocks and assists over the whole match. However, OSU's Camille Saxton turned around a slow start to finish with 22 kills, leading all hitters.
Haleigh Hampton hit .357 with 11 kills and made seven blocks for Long Beach State, while liber Lauren Minkel made 18 digs to lead the defense. Caitlin Ledoux led the team with 22 kills, and freshman Alma Serna had her best match as a 49er, setting a career high with seven kills on .400 hitting and making six total blocks.
Two big blocks from Hampton and Erin Juley set the tone of the first set, as Long Beach State (5-4) controlled the tempo throughout. Opening a 6-2 lead on a Ledoux kill, the 49ers continued to push as Serna and Janisa Johnson combined for a block to give Long Beach State at 14-5 lead. After three straight points from Oregon State (8-2), the 49ers went on another run. Including the sideout to stop that run, Long Beach State finished out the set by winning 11 of the last 13 points, getting five blocks in the first set and forcing the Beavers into 11 errors behind a big block.
With the first set behind them, Oregon State answered back in the second set, taking the first three points. Long Beach State rallied to take the lead at 4-3 on an error from Arrica Nasser, but the Beavers recovered to regain the lead at 6-5, and pushed out to a 9-6 lead on two straight blocks. Needing to catch up, it was the 49ers that started making errors, ending with eight in the set, and Oregon State opend a seven point lead at 22-15. Long Beach State cut the lead to three at 22-19 with a kill from Ledoux, but the Beavers were too close to the finish line in the set, and evened the match with a 25-20 set two win.
With the score even at a set apiece despite the 49ers dominance of the first set, it was the Beavers that continued to ride the momentum of their set two win, taking a 8-4 lead on a Dre Shaw kill. Long Beach State would pull close a few times, most notably with a run to cut the lead to 18-17 following an attack error from Shaw. Oregon State held on to the lead though, and while the 49ers pulled back to within one at 23-22 on a Ledoux kill, a kill from Arica Nassar kept Oregon State in the lead on the way to a two-point win.
Turning on the defense behind eight digs from Minkel, Long Beach State answered back in the fourth. Oregon State took an early lead 5-4, but the 49ers rallied to retake the lead at 10-9 on an error from Nassar. Hampton put down a block with Delainey Aigner-Swesey followed by a kill to give Long Beach State a 12-9 lead. Long Beach State made one more push behind some strong serving by Chelsea Cabrajac, capped by an ace to take a 17-11 lead, and the 49ers won the set 25-19 to force a fifth set.
Oregon State again took the lead early, and in the fifth set the 49ers never recovered. Finding Shaw for a kill to give the Beavers an 8-5 lead in the fifth, Long Beach State pulled within one point at 9-8 after two big digs from Lauren Minkel, but Hampton's lone error of the match gave the Beavers an 11-8 lead. Oregon State held on to that lead and took the set 15-12.
In the final neutral match of the tournament, SMU defeated Utah State in four sets, as the Mustangs finished the tournament with one win and two losses, while Utah State will return to Logan, Utah winless.
Long Beach State plays one more non-conference match before the beginning of Big West play. The 49ers will host Idaho on Friday, September 16 at 7 p.m. in the Walter Pyramid.

Publisher: McGraw-Hill Professional Publishing
The Web has changed the game for your customers

The Web has changed the game for your customers
and, therefore, for you. Now, CustomerCentric
Selling, already recognized as one of the premier methodologies for managing the buyer-seller relationship, helps you level the playing field so you can reach clients when they are ready to buy and create a superior customer experience.
Your business and its people need to be
"CustomerCentric"willing and able to identify and serve customers' needs in a world where competition waits just a mouse-click away.
Traditional wisdom has long held that selling means convincing and persuading buyers. But today's buyers no longer want or need to be sold in traditional ways.
CustomerCentric Selling gives you mastery of the crucial eight aspects of communicating with today's clients to achieve optimal results:
- Having conversations instead of making presentations
- Asking relevant questions instead of offering opinions
- Focusing on solutions and not only relationships
- Targeting businesspeople instead of gravitating toward users
- Relating product usage instead of relying on features
- Competing to winnot just to stay busy
- Closing on the buyer's timeline
(instead of yours)
- Empowering buyers instead of trying to "sell" them
What's more, CustomerCentric Selling teaches and reinforces key tactics that will make the most of your organization's resources. Perhaps you feel you don't have the smartest internal systems in place to ensure an ideal workflow. (Perhaps, as is all too common, you lack identifiable systems almost entirely.) From the basicsand beyondof strategic budgeting and negotiation to assessing and developing the skills of your sales force, you'll learn how to make sure that each step your business takes is the right one.

My game with opponentJat72 ended with a declaration of chek mating, This was a obvious fallacy !! My King was protected by his powerful Queen supported by a Rook. These type of practice needs clarification. My opponent was much behind time also.
Where's the game?
Thank you for your kind notice of the game. Actually The King was under cover of a pawn.You are correct to note that after the fall of the pawn, the King could be under direct attack but the immediate defence was the Queen posted by the immediate ieft court and was ready for immediate mobilisation for counter attack on the opponent Queen !! I think there could be a valid move for the defence.
Your further comment may be helpful for me and I wecome it. Wiish you a happy New Year .
Everyone here will tell you Qb8 is mate--game over.
Google the rules to dispell any doubt and good luck in the future.
Dear Juhweri, Woul you please look my explanatory reply to Mr,Paulgottieb of Nj. thank you for interest in the game.and I shall be glad to receive your further comments,if any. Wish you a Happy New year.
Thank you dear Goldendog for your comments. Wish you a Happy New Year.
The game ends once the king is taken.
Yes, your king is "protected" by your queen and your rook. I.e., if his queen takes your king, your rook or your queen can take back. But, just so you know, once your king is taken, the game is done. In that position, there is no way for you to stop him from taking your king with his queen on the next turn. You can't move your king away, you can't block the attack, you can't take his queen. As such, the game is over.
Usually people post at least DIAGRAMS of the positions they need help with. That could offer much better answers, seeing the position.

Is Your Life Running You Ragged?
You take care of your kids, your parents, your job, your home -- but what about yourself?
By Sherry Rauh
Reviewed By Brunilda Nazario, MD
"Me time" is a distant memory for Kate Wiley. Most days she can barely catch her breath between caring for her 18-month-old son, working, and studying to become a dietitian. "Housework, spending time with my son, a date night with my husband, working, schoolwork -- the list goes on. There are weeks when I feel like I am running at 110% with no time to stop," Wiley tells WebMD. "The house isn't clean, I have too many things to do for my internship, and I want to spend time with my child -- quality time where we get to sit and read or cuddle or play. There doesn't seem to be enough time for it all."
If this sounds like your life, you're in good company. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, most parents with children younger than 18 work outside the home, including a majority of mothers with infants and toddlers. It's no surprise that working moms and dads, particularly those with additional responsibilities such as caring for an aging parent, find it difficult to make time for themselves. Activities that contribute to health, such as preparing nutritious meals, exercising, and pursuing hobbies tend to become elusive goals if they make the list at all.
"The last thing on my list is time for me," Wiley says, "and the lack of downtime often makes me feel overwhelmed and ready to crack."

Keep those nice fishing rods from swimming away with the Hobie Rod Leash. Secure the rod leash to your boat with the brass snap and your rod with the adjustable bungee loop. A quick snap connection feature allows easy detachment of the Hobie Rod Leash when needed. Heavy duty webbing construction and quick connect hook.
|Item #:
|Part Number
What can you say about Hobie rod leashes. They are very nice, reasonably priced, and seem to last. I have a handful of these and a mirage drive leash (which is a rod leash with some additional mounting hardware). Leashes on your fishing pole take a little getting used to but after a bit you don't really notice them. They are well worth the effort though!! In a million years, I could not imagine dumping my kayak, but it happened. And I lost EVERYTHING-rods, reels, camera, lures, gear, food...$1800 bucks worth. I could have bought a new Hobie for that money! I am very happy with my Hobie leashes.
A little bulky,strap that goes around reel seat either gets in way of reeling,or is a little uncomfortable to your hand while holding rod.
I have two of these for my pro angler and they work great. Better to spend $20 on a leash than lose a $1000 plus dollar rod and reel setup.
These worked great---couldn't be better. Would highly recommend!


text: 000 FXUS63 KGID 231450 AFDGID Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Hastings NE 950 AM CDT SAT JUL 23 2016 .UPDATE... Issued at 949 AM CDT Sat Jul 23 2016 Some early thoughts regarding the rest of the daytime hours: 1) Although the day is young and there is plenty of time for things to really climb fast with a few hours of sun, am starting to wonder if maybe our high temps for today could be at least 2-4 degrees overdone (not that anybody would complain about that though!). Not only is there considerable coverage of mid level clouds here at mid-morning, but 500 millibar RH progs from models such as the NAM/RAP suggest that a respectable coverage of these clouds could continue into at least the early-mid afternoon. Will refrain from making "big" changes at this time, but just something to keep in mind for later forecast updates. Even if highs do fall a bit short of expectations, currently have no intentions of letting go of Excessive Heat Warning until at least mid-late afternoon, and it might very well ride to it`s "natural" expiration at 7 PM. 2) Related to section 1 above, it appears that a smattering of passing showers/possibly weak thunderstorms could continue flaring up here and there for several more hours, possibly well into the afternoon. This elevated, rather weak activity is likely rooted way up around 12,000 ft/650 millibars per forecast soundings (above a formidable capping inversion to lower-based parcels), and seems to be tied to a southwest-northeast oriented zone of fairly persistent mid level convergence. As for potentially more robust/severe and lower-based storms later today/this evening, shorter term models such as the RAP/HRRR and even the latest 12z NAM are showing little if any of this development, implying it may be very isolated at best. If anything, our far southwestern CWA may have the overall-best chance of popping a few vigorous late- day storms near the invading cold front given the overall-hotter and more deeply-mixed boundary layer in that area. Latest 09z SREF calibrated severe probs are sure not very supportive of severe storms for our CWA this afternoon/tonight, instead focusing much higher chances within the official SPC Slight/Enhanced areas well to our northeast. That being said, with the low-level cold front moving in later in the day, one can "never say never" on at least isolated severe development, and thus cannot discount the current SPC Marginal Risk for essentially our entire CWA. && .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 347 AM CDT Sat Jul 23 2016 Another hot day is forecast today before a cold frontal boundary crosses our region this evening and tonight. The pattern aloft featured a series of shortwave troughs translating across the Central and Northern Plains states which were breaking down the upper ridge axis and shunting it south to the Southern Plains, and bringing more zonal flow to our region. Convection initiated along the high plains during the evening hours and this activity was gradually working eastward early this morning and expect some hit or miss activity to linger into the first part of today. Temperatures are tricky given the varying cloud cover from the remnant convection however mid level temperatures remain very toasty near 30C ahead of an approaching cold frontal boundary moving through western Nebraska during the afternoon. Still looking for temperatures to top out well into the 90s to over 100 degrees and combined with high dewpoints primarily in the 70s, afternoon heat indices in the 100 to 107 degree range are expected and the current heat headline remains in effect through early evening. Another round of showers and thunderstorms are possible this evening and tonight as the cold frontal boundary crosses our cwa. Convective models are not impressive on coverage of convection but cannot rule out the chance along the baroclinic zone. If storms can go, a strong to severe storm may occur with damaging winds and large hail the primary hazards. .LONG TERM...(Sunday through Friday) Issued at 347 AM CDT Sat Jul 23 2016 Primary forecast concern through the long term lies with thunderstorm chances. At the start of the period Sunday morning, models continue to show upper level zonal flow in place across the region, set up between elongated high pressure across the southern CONUS and a low pressure system moving into Ontario. At the surface, a cold front continues to shift south, pushed by that northern system, and at 12Z looks to be draped near the NE/KS state line. Models continue to vary with how much/if any precipitation is ongoing Sunday morning, so while PoPs are still in the forecast, they remain low. Through the day, the surface front sags a bit further south, ending up near I-70, before stalling as it loses its upper level push. With this front around, though overall forcing is on the weak side, can`t completely rule out preciptiation, and have 20-30% chances continuing into Sunday night/Monday morning. Possible that should additional storms form, some could be on the strong side, but at this point the overall threat of severe weather is on the low side. Main story for Sunday however will be the noticeable change in temperatures, with the CWA sitting on the northern side of that front. East-northeast winds are expected through the day, around 10-15 MPH. Highs will be closer to normal for this time of year, and are expected to top out in the mid 80s in the north to lower/mid 90s in the south. As we get into the work week, overall confidence in precipitation chances remains low. Outside of there being good chances in much of the day Monday being dry, chances remain in the forecast through the period. Upper level high pressure over the southern CONUS tries to reamplify and ends up getting reorganized over the desert SW, but never can build too far north with a train of disturbances moving through. The next best chances look to come Tuesday night into Wednesday with a stronger wave, but can`t totally rule out any day beyond that. Have 50% chances in Tues Night-Wed morning, with 20-40% following. Temperatures start the week out near normal in the upper 80s/near 90, but with the waves/precip chances moving through during the rest of the week, highs by Friday in the lower/mid 80s are possible. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z KGRI/KEAR TAFS through 12Z Sunday morning) Issued at 506 AM CDT Sat Jul 23 2016 Main concern for the taf period is whether or not convection will reach the terminals. A few showers and storms remain early this morning and this activity is expected to dissipate by mid morning. After a lull in precipitation, another round of convection is possible later this evening into tonight along a passing cold frontal boundary. Ahead of the front today winds will be southerly with gusts of 20 to 25kts possible at times. Look for winds to shift northerly tonight behind the boundary. && .GID Watches/Warnings/Advisories...
