Playa Conditions for 2015

[Captain Goddammit]

Well we aren't gonna peddle to the deep playa unless something goes horribly wrong.

wait, what?

[maladroit]

You'll get in deep trouble for piddling on the deep playa.

The sand fleas will jump straight up your urethra.

[DoctorIknow]

Its counter intuitive but has been studied before by limnologists.

Nary a day goes by I don't learn something in Eplaya: (ok, from Eplaya, or even, on Eplaya...Grammer Police be damned...)

Limnology is the study of inland waters - lakes (both freshwater and saline), reservoirs, rivers, streams, wetlands, and groundwater - as ecological systems interacting with their drainage basins and the atmosphere.

The Alvord Playa is-

[Meat Hunter]

The forecast high for Gerlach, NV today is 103 F and the is heat index is 109 F.

[Sham]

I'm searching for the 60 day forecast. It is searing heat out there now.

[Jackass]

Still not as hot as here in California's Central Valley. In the backyard yesterday at 7:30 pm, it was still clocking 110F. Inside the shop is 90-100, all day/most of the night...

Bring on the desert, I've got this.

How about a little wind while we're at it, I wanna see beige powdered people.

[Meat Hunter]

The long range forecast for Gerlach in late August and early September shows daily highs in the mid-90's.

This is just a forecast.......

[Molotov]

Here is a rolling 3 week forecast-it updates as TTITD gets closer. http://www.accuweather.com/en/us/black- ... er/2292483

[Jackass]

Taking stabs at the weather this far out is futile.

[Jovankat]

Yeah it's even staying quite warm at night out there from what I've noticed the last couple of nights. I've been keeping an eye on it as we're headed ou there this weekend.

[FIGJAM]

Mid 70s for the lows is pretty high.

[ACfromSAC]

Searing heat, plus an epic drought... is it too early to start with the dustpocalypse predictions?

[caffeineslinger]

Is it wrong of me to hope for early entry and then epic rain after I'm set up like last year?

[chuckularone]

Very wrong.

[skippy3k]

Taking stabs at the weather this far out is futile.

Agreed. Who predicted rain last year? Not I.

[FIGJAM]

This is why you have to be careful riding in whiteouts or through dust devils!!!!!!!!!!!

[Elderberry]

Haha. Could have been worse, at least that had a happy ending.

[Token]

We are in an active strong El Nino cycle that is projected to carry into the winter.

Think Playa weather in 2009, 2002, 1997

97 was extra ugly days after BM ended and the crew was wading in mud for days.

Good chance we suck in monsoonal moisture up from the Gulf or get Hurricane remnants late August. We are in a weak monsoonal flow right now.

Keep an eye on the Pacific Hurricane patterns to glimpse into the future a bit later this month. If you hear "pineapple express", bring hip-waders.

[geospyder]

...If you hear "pineapple express", bring hip-waders.

...or plastic bags to wrap the feet. Sure helped last year. Was exciting (scary) watching the lightening strike and bounce across the wet ground

[pretty_monster]

i'm guessing "fucking hott during the day" and "fucking cold at night". whatever the highs: BRING IT, PLAYA! we've already hit 115 here.

[Ano]

Word is, it's a lake right now! But that might be inaccurate.

Point is, playa weather is kooky.

[Jovankat]

A lake? Well that will make thing interesting when we head out tomorrow....

[gaminwench]

Full report upon return???

[Melonblue]

and pictures; if possible, please

[Ano]

I apologize, I think I got some bad information. It is not a lake. It is a playa, maybe a bit wet, but a playa.

[lucky420]

It's probably gonna rain like a motherfucker this weekend. Probably or maybe not. Nevada's a big fucking state but for the last few days we've been getting monsoonal moisture coming up from the south...
