Progress continues on WIWX 11.0 upgrade. Here is a sample of the new "feed". It LOOKS very similar to Facebook but handles a little differently. Goal has been to improve the experience/usability for members while standardizing/improving code on the back-end for me. Development for this extends all the way back to the database introducing a new table to handle the feed and make it load quicker. Man it's a HUGE project but this new system is so awesome! Changes the potential ways content can be displayed around the website. Still in the middle of development with weeks left to finish. Lot of loose ends to clean up + testing. Getting there!

Awesome storm over the Horicon Marsh this morning! Strong lightning and heavy rain.

Thunderstorm clusters entering Wisconsin this morning, continuing east today. Severe weather possible. Warm front in southern WI. Clusters out west at the moment not well organized and interfering with each other. Question is can it get organized over WI today? I'm not sure but interesting to watch!

Justin Poublon August 23, 2021

Slow progress on next website upgrade. Each day I get a little more finished. Still a few weeks away. Busy weather pattern in days ahead that'll be interesting to watch!

Justin Poublon August 11, 2021

Wow what a day. Intercepted a weak tornado E of Pulaski, WI around 2:20 PM today! Closest I've been to a Wisconsin tornado! Extended version to come.

Justin Poublon August 10, 2021

Quick update: what an amazing series of storms! Day after day with another threat on Wednesday. Hope everyone is doing OK. The Boscobel tor on Sat has thrown me off. Taken the last couple days to think. Tomorrow looks interesting

Short range convective models impressive over west central WI this aft/tonight

Justin Poublon August 6, 2021

Severe tstorms in southern Wisconsin right now.

Next week I will resume development work on the upcoming major update. Reworking the entire "news feed" flow of information that will be displayed in various places around the site. This requires a new database architecture and it's a process to both design & implement. It feels like a natural next step in the evolution of the website, one step closer to perfection and something I've been trying to figure out for awhile just recently coming clear. I'm considering a change to the home page news feed such that ALL my posts CAN appear at the top, i.e image or text updates. Because I don't tend to update the blog and if I don't expire it, old information sits at the top when newer info exists. Anyway, plenty of other projects left to accomplish in the weeks ahead which can move forward after this "feed" project is settled. Take care!

Southern Wisconsin getting their butts kicked now. Stay safe everyone.

Justin Poublon July 29, 2021

Gosh, hard when it hits so close to home.

Justin Poublon July 28, 2021

Was just Live on Facebook if you're looking for my latest thoughts. Waiting game in northwest WI

Justin Poublon July 28, 2021

Strong verbiage from SPC, although still some uncertainty regarding storm mode. I told you to expect some real ass kickers tonight. I'm at work this morning, heading out to Northern WI afterwards.

Justin Poublon July 28, 2021

MOD RISK across Wisconsin tonight & overnight. Damaging wind gusts, large hail, and a couple tornadoes possible

Justin Poublon July 27, 2021

WEDNESDAY - Got a feeling in my spine about this one. Initial development in NW Wisconsin/E MN with propogating segments/embedded supercells, bookend vortex-like system/s plowing through central Wisconsin overnight. Gonna be nasty.

Justin Poublon July 27, 2021

Butt Kicker Severe Storms likely Wednesday Night

The combination of a large instability pool, strong wind shear, and somewhat organized low pressure system could lead to severe weather, potentially some pockets of widespread wind damage

How are the parameters shaping up? I see the SPC has upgraded us to "MDT" Yikes, quite rare for our area!

Exceptional NAM updraft helicity tracks for Wednesday night MCS across Northern WI.

Justin Poublon July 26, 2021

Heck of a night to have radar problems at KDLH.

Justin Poublon July 26, 2021

Watching cells moving thru Duluth, MN area now. Severe Tstorm Warnings pretty common with the cells tonight. Just a few cells atm, maybe some upscale growth this evening into bowing segments. Northern WI most at risk tonight.

Justin Poublon July 25, 2021

Monday T-storms in Northern Wisconsin, Severe Possible

Scattered thunderstorms are expected in northern Wisconsin Monday afternoon and evening with large hail

Justin Poublon July 25, 2021

WEDS PM/Early THU AM - Pretty strong parameters + strong cap inversion in Northeast WI/Upper Michigan. GFS is more optimistic than 84HR NAM on today's 12z but if cells could fire in Wisconsin they would be severe capable. Something to watch

Work has began on the next major update WIWX v.11 "Social Update". Focusing on new post templates, improved experience, more enjoyable/satisfying interactions w/ other members, back end optimization, and a few other things. Very much in the thick of it now. I have the new post template finished and works very good, looks great. I have many years and many layers of old code scattered around page to page that I need to rewrite and consolidate. That's where most of the work will be in the coming days. AT LEAST a couple weeks away from completion.

Justin Poublon July 21, 2021

Update 10.13 pushed out this afternoon was very tiny & cosmetic. Focused on making home page cleaner, more minor changes to come. Home page continues to be a work in progress. I feel top half is good, bottom half is missing something. Thinking about next large project. When I left off in March I was working on user post templates in attempt to further standardize and improve both appearance and code behind logic. Huge project I'm not sure I should jump into right now. Creating simple UI for querying the new historical database might be fun too.

Justin Poublon July 14, 2021

Storm Reports. Early aft storms in Wisconsin messed up the environment and spared us widespread severe weather. My hunch going in and reason I kept silent. We've got the heavy rain now. Iowa got the tornadoes.

Justin Poublon July 13, 2021

From the SPC "potential for swaths of damaging wind gusts across southeast Minnesota and northeast Iowa through much of the CENTRAL WISCONSIN by late Wednesday evening. It appears that this could continue into and across parts of upper and northern lower Michigan overnight."

Justin Poublon June 18, 2021

Supercell fighting inversion with stacked plate appearance just after sunset east of Fountain City/Winona yesterday Jun 17, 2021! Large hail with these cells. Thanks for showing me around Bill Kranski!
