naugatuck river from bridge, derby ct, approx 7:15pm. wishing the best to all affected by this awful disaster.
-
i witnessed the housatonic/naugatuck confluence (derby) a couple hours ago. both rivers were raging and well above normal levels. the naugatuck rose 2-3 feet from 6:15pm to 7:15pm. i saw tires and trees floating, possibly a vehicle, along with other assorted detritus. thankfully derby is on very high ground and safe.

Long Island Sound is great for swimming because the water is calm and warm. Hammonasset is good and there are a few other state beaches. No big waves though and many of the beaches are kinda small.

I wonder if we have higher potential today on a SSW/SW wind due to the drought southwest of here https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/

2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season

Wind shear in the Caribbean should persist through most of the remainder of this month -
Looks just about due north to me in my radar imagery for the last 3 hours

C5 is possible in this region right now due to high ocean heat content. With that dropsonde it looks like Beryl is almost a C4 already. C5 is not out of the question in the next day or so

a useful link for more info on global warming and hurricanes from the GFDL: https://www.gfdl.noaa.gov/global-warming-and-hurricanes/#:~:text=Both the increased warming of,SSTs favor development and intensification.

I have my doubts as to if global warming will lead to a linear increase in hurricane count... Increases in upper tropospheric temperature may limit hurricanes just as much as increased ocean temperatures fuel them. There may be some crazy years though as things are thrown out of wack

2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season
cardinalland replied to Stormchaserchuck1's topic in Tropical Headquarters
Seeing likely 2-3 storms in one week in the Atlantic in June is impressive. I imagine we'll see a lull after as the current kelvin wave is leaving the area, and once the next kelvin wave comes around it's off to the races... -
It's an interesting case study in the effectiveness of AI right now! Yeah, only 4 in the US since 1950! But I would imagine there's a few more which made landfall as C3+ in other regions.
-
Haha it's still wrong! Eloise was retired and Kate made landfall as a Category 2. These AIs really aren't all they're cracked up to be

I don't know of a database of all Atlantic major hurricane landfalls, but it's an interesting question for sure. As for the Lesser Antilles, I used https://coast.noaa.gov/hurricanes/ to map all major hurricanes which tracked through the Lesser Antilles. Every single storm to pass through the Lesser Antilles as a major hurricane since 1954 has been retired *EDIT: except for Hurricane Omar of 2008.
