FG - I'm not asking for a seminar, or an explanation of the reasoning for your alarm, just the name of the thing that grabbed your attention. Is it the wind? The temperature? Particular locations? Precipitable water? Is it a strong low-pressure system near the Bering Strait? Or high pressure dominating the CAB?
Since the image clips don't show the scale legend to allow interpreting what the colors mean, and since most of us won't bother to go over to NullSchool to find the legend bar, the colors in the images are intriguing but not quantitatively informative. If you are referring to temperature in a certain region, use your text message to tell us how high they are such that they grabbed your eye.
If you just say "Oh My God!" with no text to identify what it is you are referring too, and post an image without a legend, it may not be clear to us what has your attention or what the image is representing.
Yes, we can watch the clip and get some sense of it, especially if we are used to NullSchool images. So it's not that the images are useless without some explanation and a legend. But if you are going to the trouble to make a clip, why not gift wrap it just a little bit to make it more meaningful?
When this is all in the history books, and your great grandchildren are looking back at what their 'Oompah' did during the great meltdown of 202?, make them proud. Until then, thanks for your efforts. I enjoy the freshness of your wonder and curiosity, and have learned from your queries. Like you, I am a non-expert tuning into this drama, and just trying to figure out what's going on. Even though it is a horror show when you consider the larger implications, it is a fascinating process to watch.
