300 pm edt Sun mar 26 2017
Near term /through 6 am Monday morning/...
as of 300 pm edt... Plentiful low-level moisture continues to move
across the region in a brisk east/northeasterly flow, helping to
promote periods of scattered showers across the region. The 12z
observed kmfl sounding indicated some instability, around 500 j/kg,
present which may lead to some brief heavy downpours with the
heaviest showers. The formation of the gulf sea breeze late this
afternoon and early evening will also provide a focus for additional
shower activity along the gulf coast and interior, and cannot rule
out a few rumbles of thunder where coastal convergence is maximized.
For tonight, scattered showers streaming in off the atlantic will
continue to remain possible, mainly affecting eastern areas although
coverage should begin to gradually wane as the night progresses. The
easterly flow will also begin to weaken tonight as well. Low
temperatures will range from the upper 50s to upper 60s, coldest in
the interior and warmest in the east coast metro.
Short term /6 am Monday morning through Tuesday night/...
high pressure and increasing upper-level heights will build across
the region for early in the week. These features will allow for the
east/northeasterly flow to continue to slowly subside and eventually
become southeasterly by late Tuesday. Meanwhile, drier air and
lowering inversion levels associated with the high pressure will
move into the region, with generally dry conditions expected outside
of a brief light shower across eastern areas.
Highs Monday and Tuesday will generally be in the 80s with lows
Monday night ranging from the upper 50s to upper 60s. Lows Tuesday
night will generally be in the 60s, with a few upper 50s reading
possible in portions of the interior.
Long term /Wednesday through Saturday/...
the long term period will feature tranquil and dry weather as high
pressure continues to dominate. The next major weather feature looks
to occur late Friday and into the weekend as a frontal boundary
approaches the region. This frontal boundary looks to be the next
chance for possible widespread rainfall across the region. With a
southeast/east flow in place, temperatures will be above normal with
highs in the low to mid 80s for eastern areas, and upper 80s to near
90 for portions of the interior and gulf coast. Lows will generally
be in the 60s.
Winds will continue to gradually subside over the next few days as
high pressure builds into the region, with a return of good boating
conditions. The flow will initially be east/northeasterly, but
gradually become southeasterly by late Tuesday generally 15 knots or
less. Seas will be 4 feet or less into the midweek period.
The next marine concerns may begin Friday as southeasterly flow
strengthens to 15-20 knots ahead of an approaching frontal
A high risk of rip currents will continue for the atlantic beaches
through this evening with a continued brisk easterly onshore flow.
The onshore flow will continue to gradually subside tonight and into
Monday, with the risk of rip currents decreasing to moderate for the
atlantic beaches on Monday. The rip current risk will continue to
decrease further heading into midweek.
Streamer has persisted over broward county into early afternoon
so will hold onto vcsh for those terminals through around 20z.
Gulf breeze arrival appears imminent for kapf, so vcsh in place
along with 1830z windshift to west.VFR conditions will prevail,
but cant rule out some brief restrictions associated with showers

Vermonters cleaned up after historic flooding and braced for even more rain, as storms moved through the state Thursday.
Officials warned a tornado was possible as weather intensified toward the weekend. Gov. Phil Scott warned that conditions could be right for twisters, which are relatively rare in the state.
The heavy rain is expected to extend into the weekend, though the National Weather Service says rainfall totals aren't likely to be as high as they were this week.
Until then, the state has been digging out of the mud, reopening roads and positioning emergency gear ahead of time, in case flooding continues.
Speaking to Scripps News on Wednesday, Vermont's Lieutenant Gov. David Zuckerman warned that the state is waterlogged, which could contribute to any flooding risk that's still to come.
"The ground is incredibly saturated," Zuckerman said. "We've had weeks of rain leading up to this much stronger event, which really unfortunately set up for this catastrophe, because the soil is just soaked all over the state," Zuckerman said. "If we get an inch or two in heavy downpour, some of those small rivers could well rise up again."
Gov. Scott called for continued caution, and warned Vermonters to steer clear of floodwaters.
"We've seen many pictures on social media of kids swimming in floodwaters," he said. "This is not typical rainwater — it's filled with chemicals, oil, waste, and more. It's simply not safe."
So far, only one death has been reported. A 63-year-old man who died as a result of drowning in his home, officials confirmed.

The study warned that the shift may entail grave consequences for India’s economy, food systems and people’s well-being
A stronger, more erratic monsoon season — with more wet years in the future that can potentially damage the economy and affect agricultural practises — may be in line in India if global warming continues unchecked.
This is among the major findings of an analysis by a team of German researchers, published in journal Earth System Dynamics April 14, 2021. The study compared more than 30 state-of-the-art climate models from all around the world.
The study warned that the shift may entail grave consequences for India’s economy, food systems and people’s well-being.
For every degree Celsius of warming, monsoon rainfalls will likely increase by about 5 per cent, according to lead author Anja Katzenberger from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and Ludwig-Maximilian University in Munich, Germany (LMU).
She added that global warming is increasing monsoon rainfall in India even more than previously thought: “It is dominating monsoon dynamics in the 21st century.”
The Indian summer monsoon plays a crucial role in India’s agriculture and affects the livelihood of a fifth of the world’s population. About 80 per cent of the annual precipitation over India occurs during the summer period, supplying water to crops during the prime agricultural season.
Too much rainfall or a volatile monsoon pattern, however, can damage crops.
The study underlined that from 1980 onwards, greenhouse-gas induced warming has played a massive role in making monsoon seasons more volatile.
According to author Anders Levermann from PIK and Columbia University:
“We see more and more that climate change is about unpredictable weather extremes and their serious consequences. Because what is really on the line is the socio-economic well-being of the Indian subcontinent.”
He reiterated that a more “chaotic monsoon season poses a threat to the agriculture and economy in the region.” It should be a wakeup call for policy makers to cut down global greenhouse gas emissions, he noted.

Hundreds of flights were canceled and thousands more were delayed Wednesday at the start of what is traditionally the busiest time of the year for holiday travel in the United States because of a sloppy mix of rain and snow along the Northeast.
The mixture cascaded along the East Coast as a nor’easter that formed over the Gulf of Mexico brought rain to some areas and up to a foot of snow was expected in some higher elevations of New England, the National Weather Service said.
Only four-tenths of an inch of snow fell at Pittsburgh International Airport, NWS meteorologist Brad Rehak said, with 2.8 inches on the ground in Ohiopyle and 7 inches in Garrett County, Md.
The FlightStats.com Airport Tracker showed only moderate delays at Pittsburgh International Airport on Wednesday afternoon and evening with only two flights from Newark and Hartford and one to New York canceled.
Airlines had canceled 709 flights within, into or out of the United States by 6 p.m. EST, and 4,021 were delayed, according to online plane tracker Flight-Aware.
Most of the scrubbed flights were at New York City-area and Philadelphia airports and involved regional carriers operating express flights for major airlines, JetBlue and the Delta shuttle between Boston and LaGuardia Airport, according to Houston-based FlightAware.
Some travelers tried to change their plans and catch earlier flights to beat the storm and major airlines waived their rebooking fees. But most planes had been filled.
University of Pittsburgh students Patrick Araya and Uriah West, both 19, waited Wednesday morning at the airport in Findlay to board their US Airways flight home to Philadelphia. It was delayed for at least an hour and switched gates.
“They didn’t say (why it was delayed), but I assume it’s storm-related,” Araya said.
“Hopefully, it’s only an hour,” West said. “This is messing up my plans.”
Dorothy Weiss, 79, of Bethel Park hustled to catch a flight to Newark to visit family for Thanksgiving.
“My (original) flight was canceled. I was supposed to fly out around 11 or 12. They moved me up to an earlier flight,” Weiss said. “I didn’t hear anything. I just got here early and saw it on the marquee.”
Joanne Jordan, 69, and her husband, Dale Noelting, 64, were headed to Norfolk to visit their son and grandchildren. They were flying through Philadelphia, but their flight was delayed only 15 minutes.
“We have a 2 1⁄2-hour layover in Philadelphia, so we have some time,” Jordan said.
More moderate weather is expected for the rest of the holiday weekend in and around Pittsburgh, Rehak said, with a chance of snow showers after 3 p.m. Thursday and a high of 37. Temperatures could reach 45 on Saturday and 55 on Sunday with a chance of showers.
The storm, which forecasters say will taper off to light snow over northern New England by Thanksgiving morning, is expected to move to Eastern Canada by Friday.
State police said traffic along the Pennsylvania Turnpike was moving “pretty well” Wednesday night with no major delays. There were multiple crashes reported along the turnpike in the afternoon “but nothing significant,” a trooper said.
More than 7 inches of snow fell in Breezewood, and Gov. Tom Corbett’s office closed government offices under his jurisdiction in and around Harrisburg, Reading, Wilkes-Barre and Scranton.
The wintry weather was not confined to the Northeast. An Alberta clipper left many highways slick in parts of Montana and the Dakotas, and a winter storm warning was issued for parts of Minnesota.
Not everyone was unhappy with the storm. Ski areas across northern New England were pleased by the prospect of the snow luring skiers to the slopes and offering a promising start to the winter season.
The Associated Press, Reuters and Bloomburg News contributed to this report.


More heavy rain, thunderstorms possible
More heavy rain, thunderstorms and flooding are possible Wednesday across Delaware, a day after heavy downpours flooded highways and caused havoc for drivers.
Some of the storms may bring strong wind gusts, the National Weather Service reported.
The service said that 1.75 inches of rain fell in 30 minutes Tuesday afternoon in Newark, 1.71 inches of rain fell in just over an hour at New Castle Airport and 2.56 inches of rain fell at Philadelphia International Airport.
During Tuesday's storm, a canopy collapsed at a BP gas station at University Plaza in Christiana. No injuries were reported.
From 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday, state troopers dealt with 15 crashes, including one with injuries, in New Castle County and 10 disabled vehicles, Cpl. John Day said.
Sand and dirt from runoff remained on one Del. 1 ramp from Christiana Mall early Wednesday, and a driver went off a ramp at the mall, ending up near a pool of standing water, Delaware State Police said.
Day said troopers responded Tuesday to reports of high water in the left lanes of both directions of I-95 in the area of Churchmans Road. He said southbound I-95 in that area was down to one lane for about 30 minutes while the Delaware Department of Transportation cleared drainage grates. The storm contributed to a major backup in both directions on the highway.
He said southbound Del. 1 was closed at I-95 for flooding for about 10 minutes due to high water.
Churchmans Road at Airport Road and the on-ramp from Churchmans Road to southbound Del. 1/Del. 7 also were closed for a time Tuesday due to flooding.
On I-95 in Philadelphia, water was waist high Tuesday in the Broad Street tunnel and numerous vehicles were stranded, the weather service reported.

Research article: The Lancet
Exposure to common air pollutants and traffic during pregnancy significantly increases the risk of restricted foetal growth. This is evident even at levels well below those stipulated in current European Union (EU) air-quality directives, according to one of the largest studies of its kind, published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine.
â??Our findings suggest that a substantial proportion of cases of low birthweight babies at term could be prevented in Europe if urban air pollution, particularly fine particulate matter, was reduced,â? explains Dr Marie Pedersen from the Centre for Research in Environmental Epidemiology in Barcelona, Spain.
European doctors research impact of pollution
Pedersen was part of a team of European researchers who assessed the impact of exposure to low levels of air pollution during pregnancy on birthweight at term. This exposure has also been linked to respiratory problems in childhood, as well as other diseases later in life.
Using data from the European Study of Cohorts for Air Pollution Effects (ESCAPE, coordinated by the University of Utrecht, the Netherlands), the investigators pooled data from 14 cohort studies in 12 European countries involving over 74 000 women who had singleton babies between February 1994 and June 2011.
Air pollution concentrations of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter were estimated at their home addresses using land-use regression models. Traffic density on the nearest road and total traffic load on all major roads within 100 metres of each residence were also recorded.
All air pollutants, particularly fine particulate matter, and traffic density – apart from increasing the risk of term low birthweight – also reduced the average head circumference at birth, which is concerning because of the potential effect on neurodevelopment.
European air quality needs to be improved says researcher
According to Dr Pedersen, â??The widespread exposure of pregnant women worldwide to urban ambient air pollution at similar or even higher concentrations than those assessed in our study provides a clear message to policy makers to improve the quality of the air we all share.â?
Pollution creates vulnerable offspring
Writing in a linked comment, Professor Jonathan Grigg from Queen Mary, University of London, says that â??Overall, maternal exposure to traffic-derived particulate matter probably increases vulnerability of their offspring to a wide range of respiratory disorders in both infancy and later lifeâ?¦Dissemination of [these] results to the wider public could therefore further increase the pressure on policy makers to reduce the exposure of urban populations to particulate matterâ?¦.â?

Authorities in the Indian city of Mumbai issued a red alert on Tuesday and warned people not to venture out after heavy overnight rain in the financial hub brought flooding and travel chaos.
Some suburbs have seen more than 300mm (12 inches) of rain in the 24 hours to Tuesday morning and more heavy rain is expected over the next two days, said India Meteorological Department (IMD) official KS Hosalikar.

The department issued a red alert for the city for the next two days, and civic authorities advised people not to venture out unless absolutely necessary.
Trains, already running skeleton services due to the novel coronavirus lockdown, were suspended in several places because of flooding and traffic was disrupted on some of the city’s main roads.
A landslide swept down a slope onto a main road in a northern suburb, media reported.
There was no impact on operations at Mumbai’s airport apart from reduced visibility, a representative said.
The city struggles with the monsoon rains every year as widespread construction and rubbish-clogged drains and waterways make it increasingly vulnerable to flooding.
Mumbai is also struggling with a surging coronavirus outbreak with an average of 1,000 new cases being reported every day.

Hurricane Laura Update
MONTGOMERY COUNTY – Hurricane Laura is now forecast to become a major hurricane over the Northwestern Gulf of Mexico Wednesday. Montgomery County is under a Tropical Storm Warning which could bring tropical storm force winds to our area in the 39 to 73 mph range. The wind threat from Laura extends well inland due to it being a fast moving storm.
It is important that our residents still prepare for the potential of Tropical Storm force winds in our area. Loose objects can become deadly projectiles during hurricane-force winds. Take note of what would need to be moved from the lawn into the house or garage or secured in the yard.
Montgomery County Judge Mark Keough has issued an Emergency Declaration for Hurricane Laura. County offices are closing tomorrow at noon for all non-essential personnel and will remain closed Thursday for all non-essential personnel. Additionally, the Special Session of Commissioner’s Court that was scheduled for Thursday morning will be rescheduled for a later date.
Montgomery County agencies and resources are on alert and ready to activate as needed for our area. The Montgomery County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management would like to remind our residents that Montgomery County is a pass through county, which allows coastal residents to safely evacuate through our county. Our office will not call for mandatory evacuations due to our distance from the coast. We continue to monitor these storms, and will send updates today as we receive them.


A sheriff’s deputy in Fort Bend County, on the southwest side of Houston, spotted a massive gator just sitting in the road in the rain in the county’s Old Orchard community.
“Since we have nothing else to do right now, this big girl thought she would go for a walk!” Major Chad Norvell posted on Twitter, along with a photo of the massive gator.
Heavy weather in the region may have forced the gator out into the open.
According to weather.com senior meteorologist Jonathan Erdman, a stalled band of rain in the area is dropping 2 to 3 inches per hour in Brazoria and Galveston Counties. Doppler radar estimates up to 11 inches has fallen, in spots.

A two-year-old girl died after falling into a overflowing drain in Bhopal, police said.
A toddler identified as Anushka Sen fell into a drain near her house in Fanda area of Bhopal, assistant sub inspector Rajesh Manjhi of Khajuri police station said.
“She was found caught in a net in the drain. She was declared dead on arrival by hospital authorities,” he added.
Heavy rains also lashed Seoni, Mandla and Khandwa, officials said, adding that 12 out of 20 gates of Indira Sagar reservoir in Khandwa, the biggest in the state, had to be opened.


KATHLEEN, Fla. — The National Weather Service confirmed Saturday afternoon that an EF-2 tornado touched down in Kathleen late Friday night.
Emergency Management says at least 50 structures were damaged.
The following message was issued on behalf of Kathleen Middle School:
Kathleen Middle was damaged during last night’s severe weather and, as a result, classes for Kathleen Middle will be canceled on Monday (Oct. 21) and Tuesday (Oct. 22).
Maintenance workers are currently surveying the damage, which included the historic building of Kathleen Middle.
Again, classes for Kathleen Middle have been canceled for Monday (Oct. 21) and Tuesday (Oct. 22).
All other Polk County Public Schools are expected to have classes next week as normal.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to address any necessary repairs and renovations for Kathleen Middle.
We will provide updates on the reopening of Kathleen Middle using the automated telephone calling system for parents and guardians as well as the district’s website and social media (Facebook and Twitter). Local media will also be notified. Thank you.
The National Weather Service believes a tornado touched down in Kathleen and will be out Saturday morning to make an official determination.
High winds and heavy rain moved through the area late Friday into Saturday. A portion of Kathleen Middle School's roof was ripped off, trees were toppled over, and homes were left without power.
A post on the school's Facebook page said the main building sustained the most damage. Nobody was in the school, and more information is expected as the day goes on, the post continued.
Martha Finley, 74, has lived in Kathleen for more than 30 years. She said she's never experienced a weather event like this in her life.
Finley's home was spared, but her cars were crushed by downed trees.
All of this weather and damage stems from Tropical Storm Nestor, which continues its path toward the Florida Panhandle.
The Tampa Bay area remains under a tornado threat, and people should continue to be weather aware and near safe place.

BEIJING (AP) — Air pollution readings in China's notoriously polluted capital were at dangerously high levels for the second straight day Saturday, with hazy skies blocking visibility and authorities urging people to stay indoors.
Local officials warned that the severe pollution in Beijing — reportedly the worst since the local government began collecting data a year ago — was likely to continue until Tuesday.
The Beijing Municipal Environmental Monitoring Center said on its website that the density of PM2.5 particulates had reached 700 micrograms per cubic meter in many parts of the city, a level considered extremely hazardous.
By 5 p.m., the center's real-time reporting showed the air quality indexes at or approaching the maximum 500 from some monitoring stations. The index runs from zero to 500 and accounts for the level of airborne PM 2.5 particulates — tiny particles considered the most harmful to health.
Generally, the air quality is considered good when the index is at 50 or below, and hazardous with an index between 301 and 500, when people are warned to avoid outdoor physical activities. Those with respiratory problems, the elderly and children are asked to stay indoors.
The air started to turn bad on Thursday, and monitors in Beijing reported air quality indexes above 300 by Friday. The monitoring center said Saturday that the pollution was expected to linger for the next three days and urged residents, especially the most vulnerable, to stay home as much as possible.
The air quality data are the worst in Beijing since the municipal government began to track PM2.5 early last year, said Zhou Rong of the environmental organization Green Peace.
Monitors at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing recorded an off-the-chart air-quality reading of 755 at 8 p.m. Saturday and said the PM2.5 density had reached 886 micrograms per cubic meter. It was unclear whether the embassy's data were the worst since it began collecting and sharing such information in 2008.
Readings are often different in different parts of Beijing. Chinese authorities and the United States also have different ways to calculate the air quality index, although their indexes are "highly similar" at the two ends of the spectrum, said Ma Jun, founder of the nongovernmental Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs in Beijing.
Air pollution is a major problem in China due to the country's rapid pace of industrialization, reliance on coal power, explosive growth in car ownership and disregard to environmental laws. It typically gets worse in the winter because of heating needs. Continued...
In Beijing, authorities have blamed foggy conditions and a lack of wind for the high concentration of air pollutants.
Several other cities, including Tianjin on the coast east of Beijing and southern China's Wuhan city, also reported severe pollution over the last several days.

Temperatures have been fairly mild over the past couple weeks. We had a few 80s last week and picked up another one on Tuesday when the high hit 81°. Wednesday is expected to be another warm day with highs in the upper 70s - about 10° above-average. Temperatures do look to cool down for the end of the week into the weekend. Saturday is the only below-average day in the 7-day forecast and even then the forecast is only 1° below the average of 66°.
It's been warm, but some may not realize just how warm it's been compared to the records. Through September 24, the month is tied for the second warmest September on record. With some cooler air on tap this weekend it will likely fall a little in the record books but still impressive.

What a day it was! Hopefully you got the chance to get out and enjoy the glorious weather today. Skies will remain clear through the night with light breezes, and temps will bottom out in the mid 40s and low 50s overnight — so not quite as chilly as last night.
Tomorrow will be a fantastic start to the work week with more sunshine and even warmer temps…how about mid 70s for folks away from the coast? It’ll be a fine day to go to Yankee Stadium or really for any outdoor activity. Passover begins tomorrow evening with clear skies and mid 60s.
The warmth will continue Tuesday with upper 70s for NYC and points inland…and maybe even a few 80s in parts of NJ!
Have a great night and check back soon for the latest.


Three adults were gravely injured including the referee, who was hit directly and was rushed to hospital by helicopter, DPA news agency reported.

This baby has been a consistent troublemaker all week, and it's not done yet. Early this week, the storm triggered severe weather across the central Mississippi River Valley while at the same time dumped huge amounts of snow on western South Dakota. In the Black Hills, snowfall totals were 1-3 feet. A location near Lead, S.D., had an unbelievable 59 inches! The storm is weaker now, but it hasn't lost the desire to cause problems. Friday, more gloomy weather will plague the Upper Midwest and part of the Great Lakes region.
The storm has been around all week because of its extremely slow movement. Normally, a storm like this would move from the Dakotas to the Great Lakes in no more than a day. This one took four days to travel the same distance.

We often receive questions about viewing meteor showers, such as:
- Where is the best place to view a meteor shower?
- When they say the peak occurs at 1AM on the 12th does that mean staying up late on the 12th and viewing into the 13th or waking up early on the 12th?
- Why do meteor showers peak in the wee hours of the night?
You can comfortably watch meteors from many places, assuming you have a dark sky: like your back yard, deck or the hood of your car. You will want to a nice open place without buildings or trees to obscure your view. Also consider a blanket, reclining lawn chair, a thermos with a hot drink, and binoculars for star gazing. Be sure to dress warmly enough, dress 20 degrees colder than the actual temperature. The reason for this is that astronomical observing is a very sedentary activity and thus to tend to get colder more quickly and it takes more time to warm up due to the lack of activity.
When it is said a meteor shower will peak on a specific date, it specially means that date, early in the morning (i.e. - 1am, 2am, etc.).
The reason why meteor showers often occur late at night or in the wee hours of the morning is that we have to wait for our section of the Earth to face the oncoming meteor debris cloud the lies between us and the constellation Gemini. Think of it like being in a car driving in a snow storm. As long as the car is driving away from the storm or to the side of the storm you don't see much affect. However, as soon as, the car turns into the storm the windshield is immediately peppered with more snowflakes than the wipers can handle. That's the way it is with any meteor shower. We need to wait for the debris cloud to be directly in front of the earth before we see anything. Also, meteors are actually faint, with respect to day and early evening light, we need to wait until the earth enters its maximum hours of darkness. This usually occurs between the hours of 11PM - Dawn.

NASA's Terra Satellite Gets an Eyeful
NASA's Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite captured rainfall rates in Major Cyclone Narelle on Jan. 11 at 0654 UTC (1:54 a.m. EST). The heaviest rainfall was occurring at a rate of 2 inches (50 mm) per hour (in red) and stretched from north to west of the center of circulation.

When Terra passed over Narelle on Jan. 11 at 0245 UTC the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument captured a visible image of the storm that clearly showed an eye had formed. Satellite imagery indicated that Narelle's eye was approximately 15 nautical miles (17.2 miles/27.8 km) wide. Satellite imagery also showed that Narelle had become more symmetrical and bands of thunderstorms had become more tightly wrapped into the center since Jan. 10.
Narelle Now a Major Cyclone
On Jan. 11 at 1500 UTC (10 a.m. EST), Tropical Cyclone Narelle's maximum sustained winds had increased to 115 knots (132.3 mph/213 kph), just as predicted by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC). Narelle is now a major cyclone and a Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Scale. JTWC forecasters expect Narelle has now reached peak intensity and will begin to weaken hereafter as it moves parallel to the coast of Western Australia.
Narelle was located about 255 nautical miles (293.4 miles/472.3 km) north-northwest of Learmonth, Australia, near 18.3 south latitude and 112.6 east longitude. Narelle was moving to the southwest at 8 knots (9.2 mph/14.8 kph). Narelle is moving along the northwestern edge of a sub-tropical ridge (elongated area) of high pressure that is centered over Western Australia. The JTWC forecast noted that Narelle is expected to round the western edge of this ridge over the next three days before it recurves southeastward. By Jan. 14, the JTWC expects the system will become a cold core low pressure system as it moves over cooler waters and encounters increasing vertical wind shear.
NASA Satellite Sees Narelle's Heavy Rainfall
NASA's Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite captured rainfall rates in Major Cyclone Narelle on Jan. 11 at 0654 UTC (1:54 a.m. EST). The heaviest rainfall was occurring at a rate of 2 inches (50 mm) per hour and stretched from north to west of the center of circulation.
Warnings and Watches Posted
Until that time, however, warnings and watches are posted along the coastal areas of Western Australia. On Jan. 11, a Cyclone Warning was in effect for coastal areas from Mardie to Cape Cuvier. A Cyclone Watch is in effect for coastal areas from Cape Cuvier to Denham. A Blue Alert is effect for coastal and island communities from Mardie to Coral Bay including Onslow, Exmouth.
At 11 a.m. EST (1600 UTC) on Jan. 11, Onslow was reporting thunderstorms and sustained winds from the east-northeast. Onslow is a coastal town in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, located 1,386 kilometers (861 miles) north of Perth. Thunderstorms are expected to continue in the Pilbara region through Sunday, Jan. 13 as Narelle's center passes by while staying off shore. Onslow, Exmouth and other towns and cities in the Pilbara region are expected to clear by Monday, Jan. 14 as Narelle moves away.
For updates on warnings and watches, visit the Australian Bureau of Meteorology website: http://www.bom.gov.au/. The latest forecast from the JTWC (as of Jan. 11) keeps the center of Narelle over open water and never making landfall in any part of Western Australia. Narelle is expected to pass the southwestern tip of Australia sometime on Jan. 16 and move in a southeasterly direction over the Southern Indian Ocean where it will dissipate.

But the earth's atmosphere today is significantly different than it was in 1966 it's filled with man-made devices that could be damaged by going bump in the night with a rock flying at 250 miles per hour. Accordingly, a planned space shuttle mission will be delayed until the 19th. But people on the ground would do well to turn their gazes to the storm due to irregularities in the earth's rotation, another one isn't expected until the 22nd century.
Stargazers are celebrating and satellites are battening the hatches as the earth makes its annual passage Wednesday and Thursday through the trail of the Tempel-Tuttle comet. Each year on or around November 18, different parts of the world are treated to the Leonids a show of "shooting stars" (actually meteoroids from the comet's tail). Normally 10 to 20 light up the night sky each hour, but this year the show should be considerably better. Astronomical records dating to the beginning of the millennium show that every 33 years or so the Leonids spike a little as the comet passes by the sun and leaves a larger trail of icy bits. The last time it happened was 1966, when 145,000 shooting stars filled the sky each hour. This year astronomers expect between 1,500 and 20,000. The show can be seen from most anywhere, but will be best viewed from the Middle East, North Africa and Europe at about 2 a.m. GMT/9 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday.

LORIS, SC (WBTW) – The National Weather Service reports an EF-1 tornado caused damage to a parking lot at Loris High School.
The NWS survey team headed to Loris High School on Monday afternoon for possible tornado damage. The team confirmed an EF-1 tornado with 90 mph wind speeds crossed the Loris High School campus.
“A few cars were lofted and snapped trees were the main damage,” NWS reported. No injuries have been reported.
According to News13’s weather team, the NWS never issued a tornado warning for the area.

Aurora Alerts is an app designed to monitor real-time auroral activity and push alert to let you know if there may be aurora borealis (northern lights) visible tonight. Whenever you are home or away, Aurora Alerts will notify you if the possibility of seeing the northern lights exists.
What is the best time to see the Northern Lights?
November through to February offer the darkest skies and longer evenings for maximum sky-gazing. The strongest lights tend to appear between 9pm and 2am, though the best sightings often occur between 11pm and midnight.
Is 2022 a good year to see the Northern Lights?
2022 was a great year in terms of solar activity, and we saw great displays during our Iceland Northern Lights Photo Tour and our Orcas & Aurora tour in Norway, with the biggest displays that we have seen in years.
How to see Northern Lights?
The best way to see the northern lights is to head north. Most of the molecular activity that causes the northern lights happens near the Earth’s magnetic poles. For that reason, the Arctic region is an ideal location for hunting the aurora. In fact, some of the best light shows happen near or above the Arctic Circle.
Is there a Northern Lights app? – Related Questions
Can you take a picture of the Northern Lights on your phone?
It is possible to take a good Northern Lights photo with your Android or iPhone, using nothing more than the camera setting on your smartphone.
Is there anywhere in the UK you can see the Northern Lights?
Predominantly the northern lights are best witnessed in Scotland, North England, North Wales and Northern Ireland. However under severe space weather conditions, the lights can be seen throughout the UK.
Where is the best place to see Northern Lights?
What are the best places to see the Northern Lights?
- Tromso, Norway. Based in the heart of the aurora zone in the Norwegian Arctic, the city is widely regarded as one of the world’s best places to see the Northern Lights.
- Swedish Lapland.
- Reykjavik, Iceland.
- Yukon, Canada.
- Rovaniemi, Finnish Lapland.
- Ilulissat, Greenland.
Can you see the Northern Lights with the naked eye?
Yes. If the Northern Lights are strong enough you can see them with your naked eye. However, most photographs of the Northern Lights are taken with special camera setups, and at least a long shutter speed.
Do Northern Lights come every night?
No. Huge geomagnetic storms, the kind that can cause very intense displays of the northern lights, don’t happen every night, even during solar maximum.
What’s the cheapest way to see the Northern Lights?
Book a tour
The cheapest way is to book a northern lights hunt*, a tour in which you will likely be driven around in a group as the guide tries to find a good vantage spot free of other spotters.
What is the average cost to see the Northern Lights?
All northern lights trips are delivered by 13 tour operators in Europe. Prices range from 108 USD to 8,501 USD and our northern lights trips last from 1 day and to 20 days.
Is Norway or Iceland better for Northern Lights?
If you’re set on seeing the lights, this might tip the balance in favour of Iceland, depending on what else you want to see and do on your trip. The northern lights can often be seen from the center of Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland.
Do you need a passport to see the Northern Lights?
Please note valid passports are required.
Please note as the Northern Lights is a natural phenomenon, we cannot guarantee a successful sighting.
What are you not supposed to do at the Northern Lights?
Don’t whistle at the Northern Lights
The biggest faux pas you can commit while viewing the Northern Lights is to wave, sing or whistle at them. Alerted to your presence, the spirits of the lights will come down and take you away.
How many months out of the year can you see the Northern Lights?
The Northern Lights are unpredictable.
In order to see the Northern Lights, you need a dark, clear night. They are visible from late August to early April anytime during dark hours, which in places like Abisko or Tromsø can be nearly 24 hours a day in winter.
Do you need special equipment to see the Northern Lights?
A camera with manual mode is required for northern lights photography. You must be able to control f-stop, shutter speed, and ISO, each manually. I use and recommend full-frame cameras such as the Nikon Z7.
What is the rarest Northern light?
Pink auroras are far rarer than green ones. The reason has to do with the Earth’s magnetic field, according to spaceweather. Normal auroras take place higher in the atmosphere (between 100 and 300 kilometres), where oxygen particles excited by solar wind give off a green hue.


|Humidity and hygrometry|
|Measures and instruments|
The dew point is the bleedin' temperature to which air must be cooled to become saturated with water vapor, assumin' constant air pressure and water content, would ye believe it? When cooled below the bleedin' dew point, moisture capacity is reduced and airborne water vapor will condense to form liquid water known as dew. C'mere til I tell ya now. When this occurs via contact with a bleedin' colder surface, dew will form on that surface.
When the feckin' temperature is below the feckin' freezin' point of water, the dew point is called the oul' frost point, as frost is formed via deposition rather than condensation. In liquids, the bleedin' analog to the dew point is the feckin' cloud point.
If all the feckin' other factors influencin' humidity remain constant, at ground level the bleedin' relative humidity rises as the oul' temperature falls; this is because less vapor is needed to saturate the oul' air. In normal conditions, the dew point temperature will not be greater than the feckin' air temperature, since relative humidity typically does not exceed 100%.
In technical terms, the bleedin' dew point is the bleedin' temperature at which the oul' water vapor in a feckin' sample of air at constant barometric pressure condenses into liquid water at the bleedin' same rate at which it evaporates. At temperatures below the oul' dew point, the bleedin' rate of condensation will be greater than that of evaporation, formin' more liquid water, the hoor. The condensed water is called dew when it forms on a solid surface, or frost if it freezes. In the feckin' air, the condensed water is called either fog or a cloud, dependin' on its altitude when it forms. If the feckin' temperature is below the oul' dew point, and no dew or fog forms, the vapor is called supersaturated. C'mere til I tell ya now. This can happen if there are not enough particles in the air to act as condensation nuclei.
A high relative humidity implies that the feckin' dew point is close to the oul' current air temperature, be the hokey! A relative humidity of 100% indicates the oul' dew point is equal to the bleedin' current temperature and that the oul' air is maximally saturated with water. When the bleedin' moisture content remains constant and temperature increases, relative humidity decreases, but the dew point remains constant.
Increasin' the barometric pressure increases the dew point. This means that, if the feckin' pressure increases, the oul' mass of water vapor per volume unit of air must be reduced in order to maintain the bleedin' same dew point. Jasus. For example, consider New York City (33 ft or 10 m elevation) and Denver (5,280 ft or 1,610 m elevation). Here's another quare one. Because Denver is at a holy higher elevation than New York, it will tend to have a lower barometric pressure. Right so. This means that if the dew point and temperature in both cities are the feckin' same, the feckin' amount of water vapor in the air will be greater in Denver.
Relationship to human comfort
This section needs additional citations for verification. (October 2016)
When the bleedin' air temperature is high, the bleedin' human body uses the bleedin' evaporation of sweat to cool down, with the oul' coolin' effect directly related to how fast the oul' perspiration evaporates. The rate at which perspiration can evaporate depends on how much moisture is in the bleedin' air and how much moisture the air can hold. If the air is already saturated with moisture (humid), perspiration will not evaporate, for the craic. The body's thermoregulation will produce perspiration in an effort to keep the oul' body at its normal temperature even when the rate at which it is producin' sweat exceeds the evaporation rate, so one can become coated with sweat on humid days even without generatin' additional body heat (such as by exercisin').
As the bleedin' air surroundin' one's body is warmed by body heat, it will rise and be replaced with other air, would ye swally that? If air is moved away from one's body with a natural breeze or a fan, sweat will evaporate faster, makin' perspiration more effective at coolin' the bleedin' body. Bejaysus this is a quare tale altogether. The more unevaporated perspiration, the greater the bleedin' discomfort.
Discomfort also exists when the feckin' dew point is very low (below around −5 °C or 23 °F). The drier air can cause skin to crack and become irritated more easily, the hoor. It will also dry out the bleedin' airways. Sufferin' Jaysus listen to this. The US Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommends indoor air be maintained at 20–24.5 °C (68–76 °F) with an oul' 20–60% relative humidity, equivalent to a holy dew point of approximately 4.0 to 16.5 °C (39 to 62 °F) (by Simple Rule calculation below).
Lower dew points, less than 10 °C (50 °F), correlate with lower ambient temperatures and cause the body to require less coolin', what? A lower dew point can go along with a feckin' high temperature only at extremely low relative humidity, allowin' for relatively effective coolin'.
People inhabitin' tropical and subtropical climates acclimatize somewhat to higher dew points, bedad. Thus, a holy resident of Singapore or Miami, for example, might have a feckin' higher threshold for discomfort than an oul' resident of a holy temperate climate like London or Chicago. People accustomed to temperate climates often begin to feel uncomfortable when the dew point gets above 15 °C (59 °F), while others might find dew points up to 18 °C (64 °F) comfortable. Most inhabitants of temperate areas will consider dew points above 21 °C (70 °F) oppressive and tropical-like, while inhabitants of hot and humid areas may not find this uncomfortable. Would ye believe this shite?Thermal comfort depends not just on physical environmental factors, but also on psychological factors.
Devices called hygrometers are used to measure dew point over a bleedin' wide range of temperatures. These devices consist of an oul' polished metal mirror which is cooled as air is passed over it. Sure this is it. The temperature at which dew forms is, by definition, the bleedin' dew point. Whisht now and listen to this wan. Manual devices of this sort can be used to calibrate other types of humidity sensors, and automatic sensors may be used in an oul' control loop with a humidifier or dehumidifier to control the bleedin' dew point of the bleedin' air in a feckin' buildin' or in a smaller space for an oul' manufacturin' process.
|Dew point||Relative humidity at 32 °C (90 °F)|
|Over 26 °C||Over 80 °F||73% and higher|
|24–26 °C||75–80 °F||62–72%|
|21–24 °C||70–74 °F||52–61%|
|18–21 °C||65–69 °F||44–51%|
|16–18 °C||60–64 °F||37–43%|
|13–16 °C||55–59 °F||31–36%|
|10–12 °C||50–54 °F||26–30%|
|Under 10 °C||Under 50 °F||25% and lower|
Calculatin' the bleedin' dew point
A well-known approximation used to calculate the dew point, Tdp, given just the oul' actual ("dry bulb") air temperature, T (in degrees Celsius) and relative humidity (in percent), RH, is the oul' Magnus formula:
For greater accuracy, Ps(T) (and therefore γ(T, RH)) can be enhanced, usin' part of the oul' Bögel modification, also known as the oul' Arden Buck equation, which adds a feckin' fourth constant d:
- a = 6.1121 mbar, b = 18.678, c = 257.14 °C, d = 234.5 °C.
There are several different constant sets in use. Jesus, Mary and Joseph. The ones used in NOAA's presentation are taken from a holy 1980 paper by David Bolton in the feckin' Monthly Weather Review:
- a = 6.112 mbar, b = 17.67, c = 243.5 °C.
These valuations provide a feckin' maximum error of 0.1%, for −30 °C ≤ T ≤ 35°C and 1% < RH < 100%. Also noteworthy is the Sonntag1990,
- a = 6.112 mbar, b = 17.62, c = 243.12 °C; for −45 °C ≤ T ≤ 60 °C (error ±0.35 °C).
Another common set of values originates from the feckin' 1974 Psychrometry and Psychrometric Charts, as presented by Paroscientific,
- a = 6.105 mbar, b = 17.27, c = 237.7 °C; for 0 °C ≤ T ≤ 60 °C (error ±0.4 °C).
Also, in the bleedin' Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology, Arden Buck presents several different valuation sets, with different maximum errors for different temperature ranges, so it is. Two particular sets provide a range of −40 °C to +50 °C between the bleedin' two, with even lower maximum error within the oul' indicated range than all the sets above:
- a = 6.1121 mbar, b = 17.368, c = 238.88 °C; for 0 °C ≤ T ≤ 50 °C (error ≤ 0.05%).
- a = 6.1121 mbar, b = 17.966, c = 247.15 °C; for −40 °C ≤ T ≤ 0 °C (error ≤ 0.06%).
There is also a holy very simple approximation that allows conversion between the feckin' dew point, temperature, and relative humidity. This approach is accurate to within about ±1 °C as long as the bleedin' relative humidity is above 50%:
This can be expressed as a bleedin' simple rule of thumb:
For every 1 °C difference in the bleedin' dew point and dry bulb temperatures, the relative humidity decreases by 5%, startin' with RH = 100% when the bleedin' dew point equals the bleedin' dry bulb temperature.
The derivation of this approach, a discussion of its accuracy, comparisons to other approximations, and more information on the feckin' history and applications of the feckin' dew point, can be found in an article published in the feckin' Bulletin of the feckin' American Meteorological Society.
For temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit, these approximations work out to
For example, a feckin' relative humidity of 100% means dew point is the oul' same as air temp, you know yerself. For 90% RH, dew point is 3 °F lower than air temperature. Here's a quare one. For every 10 percent lower, dew point drops 3 °F.
The frost point is similar to the feckin' dew point in that it is the bleedin' temperature to which a given parcel of humid air must be cooled, at constant atmospheric pressure, for water vapor to be deposited on a surface as ice crystals without undergoin' the bleedin' liquid phase (compare with sublimation). The frost point for a feckin' given parcel of air is always higher than the dew point, as breakin' the bleedin' stronger bondin' between water molecules on the bleedin' surface of ice compared to the bleedin' surface of liquid water requires a bleedin' higher temperature.

Perseid Meteor Shower 2017 - Under the Perseids
- Frosty Drew Observatory & Sky Theatre
- August 11 & 12, 2017 - CLOSED
- $15 suggested donation per car
Tonight is day 2 of the Perseid Meteor Shower and the weather bomb continues to hammer our views. We can expect cloudy skies with t-storms, fog, and wind overnight tonight. There is a slight chance of periodic clearings in the hour after sunset and again after 3:00 a.m., though these are slim. The dismal forecast for tonight leaves very little chance of catching sight of Perseid meteors, and will keep Frosty Drew Observatory closed.
If you have clear skies, set out to a location with a wide open view of the sky and minimal light pollution. The 76% waning gibbous Moon will rise at 10:46 p.m. ET and will obscure most dim meteors. Lay on your back with the Moon either behind you or place the Moon behind a terrestrial object, like a tree or building to reduce the amount of moonlight you have to content with. The Perseid shower is known for producing many fireball meteors, which are bright, long-lasting meteors that often leave behind a visible streak in the sky. Even under spotty clouds, you can easily catch sight of Perseid fireballs.
Overall, if there was a year to have a clouded out Perseid Meteor Shower, 2017 is it. The bright Moon, lack of meteor outbursts, and afternoon peak hours all make for a less than awesome meteor shower. We will return to our regular Stargazing Nights schedule on Friday, August 18, 2017.

DAVAO CITY (MindaNews/ 08 January) — Classes in all levels in Surigao del Norte have been ordered suspended by the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (PDRRC) chaired by Governor Sol Matugas, as typhoon “Auring” made landfall over Siargao Island Sunday afternoon.
Agusan del Norte Governor Rosedell Amante-Matba, who earlier ordered the suspension of classes in all levels on Monday, January 9 issued Executive Order 8 on Sunday afternoon, lifting the suspension of classes in high school and college, the Philippine Information Agency (PIA) in Agusan del Norte reported. Classes in the elementary level remain suspended on Monday, it said.
Storm signal 1 has been lifted over nine provinces in Mindanao but remains over six, along with nine provinces in the Visayas, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said in its Severe Weather Bulletin 9 issued at 5 p.m. Sunday.
The bulletin said Auring was monitored in the vicinity of Cagdianao in Dinagat Island province as of 4 p.m.
Telecommunication services were not cut off in Siargao Island. Residents of Dapa in Siargao Island could still be contacted via mobile phone. A resident told MindaNews the wind and rain sre not strong but it has been raining since Saturday afternoon.
PAGASA said “Auring” will be in the vicinity of Cordova, Cebu on Monday afternoon, 130 km east of Puerto Princesa City Tuesday afternoon, 265 km west northwest of Puerto Princesa City, Palawan on Wednesday afternoon; 135 km west northwest of Pagasa Island in Palawan, outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) on Thursday afternoon; and 560 km west of Pagasa Island, Palawan, outside the PAR on Friday afternoon.
Storm signal number 1 remains over Mindanao’s Agusan del Norte, Dinagat Island, Surigao del Norte and Surigao del Sur, Camiguin and Misamis Oriental but has been lifted over Agusan del Sur, Bukidnon, Compostela Valley, Davao del Norte, northern part of Davao Oriental, the northern part of Lanao del Norte, northern part of Lanao del Sur, Misamis Occidental, and the northern part of Zamboanga del Norte.
In the Visayas, Signal 1 remains over the southern part of Antique, Bohol, Cebu, Guimaras, southern part of Iloilo, Negros Occidental, Negros Oriental, Siquijor and Southern Leyte.
“Auring” has maximum sustained winds of 55 kph near the center and gustiness of up to 70 kph and is forecast to move nortwest at 9 kph.
In Butuan City, the PIA in Agusan del Norte reported a total of 843 families from seven barangays — Buhangin, Bobon, Pangabugan, Golden Ribbon, and Baan Km. 3 — were evacuated to Agusan National High School, Sibayan Elementary School, Butuan Central Elem. School and barangay covered courts due to flooding caused by “Auring.”
Also evacuated were 64 families in the municipality of Jabonga and 77 families in Magallanes town. (MindaNews)

Britain is braced for a second deluge of torrential rain over the next two days as the Met Office issued one of thelongest severe weather warnings in its history - with a TWISTER even spotted off the coast.
More than two inches of rain fell last night with strong winds of 80mph battering the country, causing huge seas and flooding in the south west.
Forecasters say the country will still have a wait to see a glimpse of summer as the dreadful conditions will continue throughout the rest of today and into tomorrow, as storm clouds move northwards.

The south-west and south Wales are under a 54-hour severe weather warning from 6pm yesterday to midnight tomorrow and people in the south-west, Wales and the Midlands have been told to 'prepare for flooding'.
The latest storms follow dreadful weather conditions earlier this week which resulted in more than three inches, or 80mm, of rain falling in just 24 hours, leaving homes and roads flooded.
Firefighters are on flood alert in many parts of the country with crews in the south west - which have seen a huge surge in flooding-related call outs since the start of the week - braced for more this weekend.
Several fire crews have had to rescue drivers who ignored road closures and diversion warnings and drove into flooded roads.
Cornwall and Devon were last night in the firing line as a huge storm rolled in from the Atlantic.
Earlier this week, locals in Cornwall were stunned when they snapped a tornado forming over the coastline - highlighting how uncommon the weather conditions are for this time of year.
The huge twister was spotted off Bossiney Bay in Tintagel, North Cornwall, by photographer Avian Sandercock, 43, on Tuesday.
He said the funnel cloud whirled around the coastline for ten minutes - heading towards a holiday park before disappearing.
Mr Sandercock said: 'I couldn't believe my eyes. It was incredible and the sky was strange.
'I've never seen anything like that before. I don't think I was scared, just astonished. I grabbed my camera from the house and rushed out to see it.
'When it started to fade I drove down to see if I could catch it. I fancy myself as a bit of a mini-tornado chaser.'
Sarah Holland, from the Met Office, said the 'Twister of Tintagel' was actually a rare funnel cloud that would be called a waterspout if it touched the sea.
'Funnel clouds can occur if the right conditions are in place and although they’re not a sight you see very often, they do happen from time to time.
'Tornadoes aren't that common, but they are a part of the UK climate; between 30 and 40 are reported on average each year.'
Last night, there were reports of flooding and huge seas resulted in a number of dramatic rescues.
Homes in St Agnes, Cornwall, were flooded and rescue teams from Perranporth were scrambled to pump out water and sewage.
An air-sea rescue helicopter airlifted three crewmen injured on two boats in stormy weather off the Isles of Scilly this morning.
One man suffered a broken ankle and two others suffered a fractured arm and cuts.
Ken Bazeley of Falmouth Coastguard said 'There are several vessels that we are monitoring all the time as they make their way back to Falmouth or Plymouth or the south coast of Cornwall that have suffered mast or steering problems.'
The Penlee lifeboat was also launched this morning to go to a yacht which broadcast a Mayday.
An RNLI spokesman said 'The Penlee all-weather lifeboat launched to assist a 38ft yacht with two people on board 12 miles south of Newlyn.
'The yacht had managed to lose a sail overboard that got tangled around the keel and rudder in a south east gale.
'The lifeboat arrived on the scene in 40 minutes and managed to secure a rope to the yacht then started the tow back to Newlyn.
'Later the Penlee Inshore Lifeboat launched as the vessels approached the harbour to help tow the yacht through the gaps in testing conditions, and the yacht was safely moored.'

Meanwhile there were reports that two more ran yachts had run aground in huge seas off Plymouth in Devon.
This morning the 9.15am Scillonian Ferry service between Penzance and the Isles of Scilly was cancelled because of dangerously high seas.
A number of boats were ripped from their moorings during the night in Falmouth and Penryn in Cornwall.
The Environment Agency said people in Devon and Cornwall should 'remain prepared' for the possibility of flooding.
Devon County Council said its highways department, which was still clearing up debris from last week’s storms, was 'geared up' to deal with any incidents.
The storms have resulted in some huge seas of the coastline with surfers taking advantage of massive waves in Harlyn Bay in Cornwall.
Huge waves were also seen crashing over a lighthouse in Porthcawl, Wales.
The Environment Agency last night issued flood warnings – the second-highest level of alert – for the South East and East Anglia and announced a further 12 flood alerts in other areas.
It said its specialist teams would closely monitor river levels and use pumping equipment in the worst-affected areas. The warnings cover 32,500 properties.

Making the most of it: The paragliders may have to back up they chutes soon, though, as more downpours are sweeping their way across the UK today
Speaking about firefighters being on flood alert, councillor Brian Coleman, Chairman of the Local Government Association’s Fire Services Management Committee, said:
'Crews across the country are on standby for any incidences of flooding. We know from previous experience the disruption, and in some cases devastation, that flooding can cause. People can be assured that whatever turn the weather takes, fire crews and council staff will be out in force doing everything they can to help.
'Fire crews have been advising people in flood risk areas to exercise an extra degree of caution. Parents should be keeping a close eye on their children and warning them of the potential dangers of going too near to rivers and streams.
'In some areas motorists have been ignoring flood warnings and driving into roads submerged in water – some have been blindly following their satnavs. Water on the road can be deeper than it looks so it is vital that drivers do not ignore road closure and diversion signs. Vehicles can float away in as little as two feet of water.'
This latest storm comes after a brief respite for Britain which had been enjoying better weather following dreadful conditions earlier this week.
More than three inches, or 80mm, fell in just 24 hours and left homes and roads flooded.
Speaking about this weekend's weather, a spokesman for the Environment Agency said: ‘The heavy rainfall is expected to spread into central and north eastern England on Friday, with heavy showers to follow throughout the day and into Saturday.

With more rain on the way, Orange County Sheriff’s Department deputies will restrict access to Trabuco Creek Road for most of Thursday, Jan. 17.
Most motorists will be asked to stay off of the remote road in the foothills northeast of Rancho Santa Margarita, according to a tweet from the Sheriff’s Department at 6:12 p.m. Wednesday. The street should be closed into Thursday evening, but Trabuco Canyon residents who need to use it to get to their homes will be allowed to pass, unless a flash flood warning forces authorities to completely shut down the road.
OCSD will implement a road closure tomorrow for for Trabuco Creek Road. The closure is expected to last through the day into the evening. Residents utilizing Trabuco Creek Road will have access, unless a Flash Flood Warning prompts a complete closure. #HolyFloodWatch

A storm pounded Orange county with rainfall ahead of Thursday’s planned closure. It dropped 3.5 inches of rain in Seal Beach, and caused flooding severe enough to submerge a three-mile stretch of Pacific Coast Highway in Huntington Beach, forcing motorists to take alternate routes. Southern California counties can expect to see continued precipitation until at least Friday.
On Tuesday, OC Public Works said there were no issues at Trabuco Creek at Trabuco Canyon Road in the Holy fire burn area. But heavy rain was then forecast for Wednesday night and Thursday.

The UK has had its hottest day of the year, as temperatures soared across southern England.
The Met Office said Heathrow and Northolt in west London had reached 34C (93.2F) making it one of the warmest June days for about 40 years.
Friday was previously the warmest day of 2019, with temperatures reaching 30C (86F) at Achnagart in the Highlands.
A heatwave across Europe saw France record its all-time highest temperature of 45.9C (114.6F) on Friday.
People flocking to the seaside were forced to take detours after the M5 was closed in Somerset in both directions because of problems with overhead power cables.
At Glastonbury Festival in Somerset, the temperature was expected to peak at 28C (82.4F), with organisers giving away free sun cream and water to help combat the heat.
Festival-goers reported long queues for water, with freelance journalist Sara Spary saying it took almost an hour to refill her bottle.
Organisers said there was "no water shortage" and the supply was "running as normal", although it has put restrictions on showers as it usually does in hot weather. It said its 850 taps all have a ready supply of water.
The Met Office has issued yellow warnings of thunderstorms and lightning for parts of northern England and south-east Scotland for Saturday evening.
Temperatures are expected to drop overnight across the UK as cold air moves in from the Atlantic, sweeping away the humidity, said BBC forecaster Matt Taylor.
He said: "There won't be the same humidity on Sunday but there will be sunshine at times and it will feel quite pleasant."
He added that while central and eastern parts of the UK saw the hottest and most humid conditions on Saturday, the sunshine gave way to some storms in Northern Ireland.
"These are now pushing their way eastward to cross Scotland and the far north of England."
Earlier, England's most senior nurse called on people to "check in on neighbours and loved ones who can suffer the most from heat and pollen".
Ruth May, chief nursing officer for England, also said it was important to drink plenty of water, use a high-factor sunscreen and take allergy medication if you need it.
NHS England and emergency services have also warned the public to take extra care.
It follows the death of 12-year-old Shukri Yahya Abdi, who drowned in the River Irwell in Greater Manchester on Thursday.
And animal charity the RSPCA issued advice for pet owners to help them keep their animals cool.


Heavy fog is expected to return to Merseyside on Sunday morning.
Weather experts at the Met Office have issued a yellow warning for the area, calling on people to be prepared for possible travel delays “or the disruption of your day-to-day activities”.
Dense fog has already caused problems in Merseyside this week, with flights delayed at John Lennon Airport and firefighters being called to false alarms due to the weather on Friday.
The warning - the third in three days - covers the whole of Merseyside as well as neighbouring areas in Lancashire and Cheshire. It will last from 00.05 on Sunday to 11am.
The peculiar weather in Merseyside is a result of severely high pressure that has 'dominated' the UK.
In recent weeks Liverpool has enjoyed an uncharacteristically-warm Autumn, but in recent days a thick layer of fog has settled on the city.
