(David Ludlum) (The Weather Channel) 1960: Hurricane Ethel developed rapidly in the central Gulf of Mexico early on this date, intensified and moved northward with winds estimated as high as 130 mph near the center late on this date. Ethel went from a tropical storm to briefly a Category 5 within 18 hours. Ethel decreased in intensity rapidly before reaching the coast near the Alabama- Mississippi border on the 15th as a minimal hurricane. Hurricane force winds were reported in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, including Venice which reported sustained winds of 90 mph and gusts of up to 105 mph. Rainfall totals ranged from 2 to 10 inches. Damage was estimated at $1 million dollars and no fatalities were reported. Despite attaining Category 5 intensity, Ethel name was not retired. (Ref. Wilson Wx.

(The Weather Channel) 1988 - Thunderstorms produced severe weather over the Texas panhandle during the evening hours. One thunderstorm spawned a strong (F-2) tornado in the southwest part of Amarillo, and deluged the area with five inches of rain. The heavy rain left roads under as much as five feet of water, and left Lawrence Lake a mile out of its banks. Hurricane Gilbert lost some of its punch crossing the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. Its maximum winds diminished to 120 mph. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1989 - Unseasonably cool weather prevailed across the south central U.S. Eight cities reported record low temperatures for the date, including Raton NM with a reading of 30 degrees.

By days end, the Category 4 hurricane was battering the northern Bahamas packing winds of 135 mph with a minimum central pressure of 934 millibars or 27.58 inches of mercury. 1999: Drought emergencies and restrictions were lifted in NJ, from Burlington to Ocean Counties and to the S, after increasing rain ended a growing season drought that caused 80 million dollars in agricultural damage. Two days later the unprecedented rains of tropical storm Floyd effectively ended the drought, as up to 14.5" of rain fell, or about 4 months worth of normal rainfall.(Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 2005: Hurricane Ophelia caused some damage and beach erosion along the United States coastline from Florida to North Carolina. The closest approach occurred on September 14 and 15 with its western eyewall crossing land and the eye remaining just offshore in the Carolinas. Click HERE for more information from the NWS Office in Charleston, South Carolina. 2008: Hurricane Ike became extratropical on this day. The St. Louis Metropolitan Area experienced hurricane conditions, with Ike's remnants inflicting severe damage to homes. Several areas in Illinois and Indiana, already flooded by the frontal boundary to the north, saw significant additional rainfall. Due to flooding in Chicago, a state of emergency was declared for Cook County due to flooding of the Des Plaines River. Hurricane-force wind gusts were reported to the east of the center across parts of Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania with significant wind damage including structural damage to buildings and trees. 2011: The remains of Hurricane Ike brought flooding rains/high winds/power losses to the St. Louis, MO, area.

Weather Guide Calendar with Phenomenal Weather Events 2011 Accord Pub. 2010, USA) 2017: Irma is among the strongest Atlantic hurricanes on record based on wind speed. The major hurricane could notch more historic moments in the days ahead. Hurricane Irma is one of the most powerful hurricanes to roam the Atlantic Basin in more than a decade, and it could hit more historical benchmarks in the days ahead. Here's a rundown of Irma's notable extremes so far. Strongest Winds in Almost 12 Years Irma's maximum sustained winds have so far maxed out at 185 mph. Those winds are well above the 157 mph Category 5 threshold and are the highest registered in any Atlantic hurricane since 2005. Hurricane Wilma on Oct. 19, 2005, was the last hurricane to have maximum sustained winds reach 185 mph. Incredible #GOES16 imagery of Category 5 Hurricane #Irma with 185 mph max wind speeds. 10:36 PM - Sep 5, 2017 One of Four Hurricanes With 185+ MPH Winds The 185 mph winds also place Irma in the upper echelon of Atlantic hurricanes based on wind speed. Only three other hurricanes have had winds of 185 winds or greater, including Wilma (2005), Gilbert (1988) and Allen (1980), according to Dr. Phil Klotzbach, a tropical scientist at Colorado State University. Allen had the strongest winds of those four hurricanes, maxing out at 190 mph in early August 1980. Records that Irma set 2018: Hurricane Florence was a powerful and long-lived Cape Verde hurricane, as well as the wettest tropical cyclone on record in the Carolinas and the ninth-wettest tropical cyclone to affect the contiguous United States. The sixth named storm, third hurricane, and the first major hurricane of the 2018 Atlantic hurricane season, Florence originated from a strong tropical wave that emerged off the west coast of Africa on August 30, 2018. Steady organization resulted in the formation of a tropical depression on the next day near Cape Verde. Progressing along a steady west-northwest trajectory, the system acquired tropical storm strength on September 1, and fluctuated in strength for several days over open ocean. An unexpected bout of rapid intensification ensued on September 4– 5, culminating with Florence becoming a Category 4 major hurricane on the Saffir–Simpson scale with estimated maximum sustained winds of 130 mph - Florence A Write-Up For The Whole Storm

Quick in and out cool shot this weekend…stronger E. Probably frost advisories for parts of ME? But yeah, after that ens/AI are fairly warm. The Op runs bring more cold shots. Not much in the way of precip over the next 10 days here.

72 / 61 upper 70s - low 80s and another great day. Looks like a carbon copy on Monday for the most part. Cut off into the southeast drifts north later Tue PM - Wed with clouds SE/ESE flow and some rain. Clear out later THu pm and Fri is the warmest day of the batch and perhaps for a while. Another nice/dry weekend coming up for the 20th-21st.

Great week for some Sea Hags at the new NEBCO. You been yet?

yeah I was hoping last night was going to be clear before this for telescope shots but it was not to be.

Torch!!

The eastern half of NC could get some heavy, beneficial rainfall over the next couple days depending on how strong the coastal low gets.

AIFS ensemble not as warm, but same theme. AN.

Blood red on the EPS. Wow. Zero signs of Fall.

I'll be mowing mine after the dew dries

Torch!

For JFK December was warm and wet finishing +0.9° with 4.44” of precipitation. January was near normal and dry at +0.2 and only 0.65” of precipitation. February was warm and wet finishing at +2.7 and 3.17” of precipitation.

Thanks, I love my South Minneapolis neighborhood. The home with the wreath on the front door is an Airbnb, directly across the street from us.

The time has come to admit that this is not going to be a hyperactive (ACE/named storms) Atlantic tropical season. The ship has sailed folks

Even JFK has a shot at 85-90° next Friday as the models have a warm downslope flow now.

53/51 another GSD day.

Nothing better than an Octoberfest and some fall mowing...

WPC beefing up rainfall totals with latest update.

I was surprised my high was 87 yesterday, welcome back summer.

Looks like the Niña/-IOD standing wave has set up

That was a tough loss. We've not had such a painful FG miss since 2010 vs Alabama, and that one was blocked. Team looked better than I expected on offense, but man, gotta make that kick.

That’s a pretty low bar

It should be a more exciting winter for most of SNE than last winter.
