I still can't believe theres a heat advisory here in September lol
Also I've been fully glued to tropical storm Lee because I'm really into the tropics. Right now I don't think it's anything we'll have to deal with but I saw a few mets and pro forecasters completely writing this storm off like it was guaranteed it wouldn't be a potential issue for the east coast like New England or Canada. I wasn't even going to say anything because it's still way too far out and so much is going to change with this track but already you're seeing the GFS and Euro shifting west and south model run after model run and a couple more of those happening then it could effect the coast. Also this thing has some insane power potential with some intensity models taking it to a category 5 so I'd be just interested in following it for that reason alone
Not only is the 0z Euro more north than NE now but it's more west than the 12z by a decent margin. All it takes is a few more shifts like that to make it a threat on the euro so should be interesting to see how things develop since we're so far out. It's been a while since we've had a long tracker like this that has a slight threat to the US
lol it's september first and weather channel is like AUTUMN HEATWAVE!! who even considers the beginning of September autumn? I know it's the official start of meteorological fall but come on
95 for 5 days in a row in the beginning of September is pretty impressive. Would tie the records for a lot of areas for September 4th, 5th, 6th and the 7th.
The AC in my school was wonky and broken so often that it was too cold inside even when it was really hot outside lol. People would have to wear hoodies and jackets in May
Same. It's been pretty impressive. One person I follow who lives in Oklahoma City had their AC system in their building break and nobody's around to fix it despite it 'being an emergency' where they live so they've been melting lol. Oh and it looks like this heat isn't letting up either
Am looking forward to tonight being 60 degrees will actually keep the windows open tonight. Normally if the temperature is below 65 degrees and it's not ungodly humid out I'll turn the AC off at night.
You mean decades ago right? Satellite era since the 1970s has made it incredibly easy to catch storms that otherwise would have been missed. That's why I'm very curious what the 1933 record season would have been with satellites.
This is going to be one of the worst flooding events that area has ever seen. The awful flooding they normally get including the record flooding from last winter pales in comparison to what's coming. So no I wouldn't be jumping for joy.
Another thing I don't see people mentioning is that even with Hilary weakening on its approach to California it's going to have a MASSIVE wind field just due to how big of a storm it is and how strong it originally was. That wind field will stretch well out from the center. This won't be no small tropical storm at approach. This isn't a tropical storm that was weak all its life coming in but a almost category 5 with an impressive core and size weakening and coming in
18z GFS has Hilary at 991mb at landfall in southern california. This is going to be interesting to track for sure. Even if it becomes post tropical at landfall or landfalls into the Baja instead the effects are going to be huge and problematic.
East coast has been immensely lucky over the past couple decades with notable hurricanes. Parts of the coast have been overdue for a very long time like New England. Irene looked like it was ready to change that but weakened from a cat 3 to a cat 1 as it hugged up the coast. Sandy is notable but was not a true tropical system at landfall and was a hybrid so I don't really count that
Atlantic looks loaded and ready to pop. The yellow shaded area nearest to the Lesser Antilles does go through the herbert box which usually increases odds of a landfalling hurricane on the CONUS but that rule isn't fullproof obviously. Should be interesting tracking though
I'd love to know where these top coldest summers are here in Cumberland because I want to sleep with my windows open at night in the summer which I used to be able to do as a kid but can't anymore because it's just way too hot lmao
