I am having an old man brain freeze and need some help. What is the simplest way to find which day had the highest wind run?

Dear Horst and WeatherCat troubleshooters,

I had the same problem, Crash on startup.

I solved the problem by . . . . .

Thanks for sharing your solution.  It is a good reminder to make sure that you have the WeatherCat data backup feature turned on and have a backup of your WeatherCat preference file.  The instructions on how to do this are (as always) on the WeatherCat Wiki:

Dear WeatherCat climate watchers,

It is February and here is the first 1 month and 3 month forecasts from the National Weather Service - Climate Predication Center for the middle of winter.  Here is the one month forecasts of departures from normal temperatures for February:



Here is the equivalent 3 months predictions of temperatures departures from normal for February through April:



Here are the precipitation predictions of departures from normal for February:



Here is the equivalent graph for February to April:



On to drought forecasts.  Here is the drought outlook for February:



Here is the 3 month outlook:



Like last month, drought continues for US tropical islands.

I had hoped the wildfire picture would be quiet so that I could omit them.  However, there is a bit of surprise so here are the wildfire predictions from the NICC - National Interagency Coordination Center.  As always, these come only monthly.  Since they provide an evolving picture, I'll simply display them one after the other.  Here is February:



Here is the March outlook.



Finally, here is April:



The good news is that the wildfire situation improves in the tropics.  The curiosity is the elevated threat in the neighborhood of Minnesota and Wisconsin.  That area is in a drought, but it isn't projected to get worse and there are definitely other parts of the country that have serious droughts.

As usual, Like it or not, such are the forecasts we are facing . . . .
