Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Further Evidence of my Age-Induced Ignorance

Just some quick thoughts for all the 12-yr-olds out there:

1) If the dewpoint is close to the current temperature, it's going to rain.
2) If the dewpoint is really low, don't burn your trash. At least wait until after the sun goes down.
3) On spring mornings, if the dewpoint goes down while the temperature is going up, grab your gun and go turkey hunting. Gobblers love drying conditions as they come off the roost.
4) In the summer, a steeply rising dewpoint often brings on a thunderstorm.
5) In the winter you can still feel the difference. High dewpoints suck heat out of you really fast.

Rocky, I thought relative humidity was the sweat on you balls when screwing you cousin....course I could be wrong.

John, the date should be on the payment dew slip..

As they say around here "air you can wear"

Nor do I get the point.

Obviously most everyone that posted on this thread doesn't either.

Right now in scenic Ogden, it's 91°F. The dewpoint is 27°F. Which converts to a relative humidity of 10%.

That 64 degree spread means that a packet of air from the surface would have to be lifted about 11,600 feet before it cools to the dewpoint and forms clouds. (This is called adiabatic cooling, and is roughly 5.5°F per 1,000 feet of altitude change.) Thus, the cloud base here in Ogden right now can't be lower than 11,600 feet above the ground.

And THAT means it ain't a gonna rain.

It is the time at which you reach a conclusion that you would like to get up from your nap and "do" something......Do Point.
