Leonid meteor shower lights up night sky with spectacular shooting stars
One of the most famous annual meteor displays, the Leonid shower, is peaking this weekend and even though this year’s show could be a downer, stargazers will still be treated to occasional spectacular fireballs and shooting stars.
The Leonid is expected to be most visible in the early hours of the morning on Monday, between 2am and 4am.
This Sunday, there was no need for telescopes as the shower was perfectly visible to the naked eye – providing clouds stay away, that is.

The Leonid meteor shower is named after the constellation Leo (the Lion), and takes place every year when the Earth passes through the debris field left in the wake of the Temple-Tuttle Comet creating shooting stars, streaks of light in the night sky lasting less than a second, as the cosmic debris burns up in our atmosphere.

Could use some rain up north here though, so bring 'er on.
This storm is just practice from our detractors who quite possibly can control the weather. Target: Tampa and RNC.
Don’t think you would be so nonplussed if you lived on the gulf coast. A hurricane anywhere along the gulf would be incredibly dangerous.
Weather Underground 5-day forecast has it heading for Texas:
The models are pretty divided, but yes, that’s the current thinking. It will likely sit and spin for a while since there are no strong steering currents presently.
Its been raining in Venice Florida for a week on and off...today its been on all day...very seldom do you get an all day rain around here...usually a thunderstorm and an inch of rain in a hour and gone..
Hang on Galveston...
I believe this formed from the remnant of a cold front. Last week was the coolest (a few degrees, but still warm) and driest I can remember for Florida in mid June.
The early 50's is NOT recent by most peoples calculation...unless you are REALLY old. Maybe you are...which could explain your handle...and attitude.
Time for bigger AC unit!!
Buy gas now!
Nope. Formed as a part of the monsoon trof that was in the Caribbean. We've (I'm a meteorologist) been watching it for the better part of a week. The computer models, the global models anyway, have been forecasting it to develop over the Gulf over the weekend and they were right.
I would think Debbie would target Dallas.
May be sound advice. Oil cos. shutting down rigs as I type...Getting nasty out there.
Where do you live in Florida? It’s been pretty wet here in St Augustine (NE FL) for about six weeks, which is actually earlier than our usual “afternoon thundershowers” pattern.
We have had a fair number of nor’easters, in addition to the storms that we say “come from Gainesville”, meaning from the west or the Gulf. It was dry last year but so far, not this year.
This appears to be a very slow moving tropical storm. I recall one in South Flordia a few years ago that dumped 20 inches of ran and did enormous damage.Pays to always be apprised of what these things are doing.
Where to Gulf storms tend to form? In the Gulf itself, or do they more often move into the Gulf as existing hurricanes?
We recently moved to Houston from VA and I’ve never paid a lot of attention to where they originate in this region.

Aug 23, 2020 | Illinois
Location: Rolling Meadows, Illinois
Hail Size: 1.25 Inch

In Palatine, Illinois, half dollar sized hail was reported at 4:42 PM CDT one mile away from Palatine on August 23, 2020. The exact location of the report was from 42.09, -88.03. In the past three years, this area had 5 hail reports within a 10-mile radius.


Updated Thursday 4:10 p.m.
You had to come check, didn't you. A sliver of hope that maybe the forecast models have changed and it'll be nice and 72 for a few days, not any more of this 90+ stuff, right?
Well, I have one word for you:
No dice :( Still a very hot pattern in store through Monday. We made it to the low 90s today around Seattle and we have another clear and uncomfortably warm night for the Puget Sound region on tap with lows only in the mid 60s, and barely at that. Seattle went from 68 to 64 and back to 68 within the three pre-dawn hours this morning. I suspect more of the same tonight.
We should see some slight cooling Friday and Saturday but maybe "cooling" isn't the right word here but "lowering of expected high temperatures a bit" as highs should still reach the upper 80s. Same story for Fourth of July Saturday: Sunny and hot with highs in the upper 80s.
Sunday we actually still are trending the *other* way with perhaps a day of east wind that will bake the entire region -- no more smug Hoquiamians (?) taunting us with their upper 60s. Highs everywhere should get to around 90 with mid-to-dare-I-say-upper 90s around Seattle and environs. If summer really does begin on July 5th as it does most years in Seattle, I surrender.
Monday will have the same "lowering of expected high temperatures a bit" to the upper 80s and low 90s with continued sunshine.
There still remains some hope for more significant cooling as we get into the middle of the week as the marine breezes finally return, although let's not get carried away. It doesn’t look like we'll have much for morning clouds and highs should still get into the low-mid 80s, which admittedly will probably feel like paradise whereas three years ago we'd all be running for Alaska at the sight of an 85.
So there, that's one reason to have come to check the forecast. Looking for rain? At this point, still wishful thinking...

The World on Fire – 10 July, 2021
Over 30 million people are under heat alerts across western states as temperatures are forecast to soar this weekend.
Nearly the entire state of California will be impacted by this heat wave, in addition to major metro areas in the Southwest. Numerous daily temperature records will be broken and some all-time records may also be in jeopardy
US west heatwave: 31m people brace for record-breaking temperatures
Las Vegas could surpass its record-high of 117F as residents of US west face very high risk of heat-related illness
More than 31 million people across the US west and south-west are bracing for a brutal heatwave that could bring triple-digit temperatures this weekend, with authorities warning that records could be broken in many regions of California and Nevada. Officials have said that Las Vegas could even surpass its record-high temperature of 117F.
Powerful fire tornado in California is latest extreme weather sign
A fire tornado has been captured on video at the Tennant fire in northern California. It is one of the latest signs of extreme weather threatening the US West, which is facing severe drought and record high temperatures. Though rare, similar phenomena have been seen on video in recent years.
Dire drought warning: California says ‘nearly all’ salmon could die in Sacramento River
The drought is making the Sacramento River so hot that “nearly all” of an endangered salmon species’ juveniles could be cooked to death this fall, California officials warned this week.
In a brief update on the perilous state of the river issued this week, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife made a dire prediction about the endangered winter-run Chinook salmon and its struggles against consistently hot weather in the Sacramento Valley.
“This persistent heat dome over the West Coast will likely result in earlier loss of ability to provide cool water and subsequently it is possible that nearly all in-river juveniles will not survive this season,” the department said.
Heat dome’ probably killed 1bn marine animals on Canada coast, experts say
British Columbia scientist says heat essentially cooked mussels: ‘The shore doesn’t usually crunch when you walk’
More than 1 billion marine animals along Canada’s Pacific coast are likely to have died from last week’s record heatwave, experts warn, highlighting the vulnerability of ecosystems unaccustomed to extreme temperatures.
The “heat dome” that settled over western Canada and the north-western US for five days pushed temperatures in communities along the coast to 40C (104F) – shattering longstanding records and offering little respite for days.
The intense and unrelenting heat is believed to have killed as many as 500 people in the province of British Columbia and contributed to the hundreds of wildfires currently burning across the province.
Just a little rain’: NYC battles flash flooding ahead of Elsa’s impacts
The John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens experienced departure delays up to an hour and 15 minutes long due to the weather conditions. LaGuardia Airport in Queens experienced departure delays up to an hour and 45 minutes in length.
A travel advisory was issued by New York City Emergency Management as a result of the weather conditions, New York State Senator Andrew Gounardes announced.
A Con Edison power plant in Queens caught fire on Thursday night after a transformer was struck by lightning. According to Brooklyn News 12, the power lines were not damaged and no outages were reported as a result of the incident.
“It’s been very humid over the Northeast and specifically in New York City all week long,” AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Bob Larson said. The past few afternoons have brought thunderstorms to the city day after day.
While the conditions were not directly from Tropical Storm Elsa, which made its way into the city the following day, Larson said Elsa has caused the humidity in the city to be increased.
Increasing Glacial Melt in High Mountain Asia Can’t Be Controlled, New Report Details
Recent research shows High Mountain Asia’s current situation, and things don’t look that good.
As per new findings, the glaciers in the area have been melting a lot quicker in recent years than previously believed. Also, the glacier melt occurred even in regions where glaciers were still growing.
Researchers warn us about the rising summer temperatures and the consequences.
It’s Some of America’s Richest Farmland. But What Is It Without Water?
Politicians must respond to the latest warnings that climate science has underestimated risks
Last week’s shockingly high temperatures in the northwestern US and Canada were – and are – very frightening. Heat and the fires it caused killed hundreds of people, and are estimated to have killed a billion sea creatures. Daily temperature records were smashed by more than 5C (9F) in some places. In Lytton, British Columbia, the heat reached 49.6C (121F). The wildfires that consumed the town produced their own thunderstorms, alongside thousands of lightning strikes.
An initial study shows human activity made this heat dome – in which a ridge of high pressure acts as a lid preventing warm air from escaping – at least 150 times more likely. The World Weather Attribution Group of scientists, who use computer climate models to assess global heating trends and extreme weather, have warned that last week exceeded even their worst-case scenarios. While it has long been recognised that the climate system has thresholds or tipping points beyond which humans stand to lose control of what happens, scientists did not hide their alarm that an usually cool part of the Pacific northwest had been turned into a furnace. One climatologist said the prospect opened up by the heat dome “blows my mind”.
The disturbing signs of climate disruption are not limited to north America. Pakistan and Siberia have also had record-breaking high temperatures within the last few weeks, as have Moscow, Helsinki and Estonia. In Madagascar, the worst drought in 40 years has left a million people facing food shortages. The climate author David Wallace-Wells suggested that current conditions should be regarded as heralding a “permanent emergency”. With policymakers struggling to absorb the very serious implications for human societies of current models, it is frankly difficult to take in the suggestion that these models may underestimate the threat. The prospect of the jet stream becoming locked, and weather systems such as tropical storms ceasing to move in the way to which we are accustomed, carries nightmarish possibilities. More hot weather is on its way to California, with the bulk of the wildfire season ahead.
If there is anything positive to be taken from this new information, and reports of the suffering and destruction caused by the heat, it can only be that it intensifies the pressure on policymakers to act. On Wednesday, the Switzerland-based Financial Stability Board issued a warning in advance of a G20 meeting in Venice this weekend. It urged finance ministers and central banks to take more notice of “far-reaching” climate impacts. Just how far-reaching these impacts will be depends on decisions taken by governments in the next months and years. So far, binding commitments to make the cuts in carbon emissions that are needed to avoid temperature rises above 2C are notable by their absence. With every worrying piece of climate news, the stakes ahead of November’s Cop26 conference keep growing.
Environmentalists used to shake their heads when highly unusual weather was reported in terms that ignored climate change’s contribution. Now, thanks to attribution science, the link is firmly made. To avoid future heat domes, countries including the US and Canada must stop pumping so much energy into the climate system.
What comes to mind when I see stuff like above I am reminded of this.
Thinking your electric car is “clean” is a bit like thinking your dog is “clean” because it craps in the next-door neighbour’s garden

Rockford Will Have Good Views Of The Perseid Meteor Shower
All amateur astronomers should have their eyes trained on the night sky beginning next week.
The Perseids is an annual meteor shower that usually provides some fantastic summer night sky viewing.
The peak of the shower, when you can see up to 80 shooting stars an hour, won't happen until August 13.
However, you should be able to see some shooting stars associated with the Perseids beginning Monday, July 23.
For the best chance of seeing some action in the sky here are some tips:
- Obviously, a clear night is an important factor
- A new moon is ideal. We will only be two days past the new moon when the peak shower activity is scheduled to take place on August 13.
- Look to the north-east
- Look about 30-40 degrees above the horizon
If you want some more information about the Perseids you can read all about them here.
Good luck to all the sky-gazers out there. I've seen these before and they're truly spectacular.

2019 Drought and Monsoon Weather in South Asia
Monsoon season typically stretches from late May through September, though the start was delayed in 2019 and stretched later than normal into October.


Snowpack levels in our West Kootenay and Boundary region are about 10% above normal, and a full 30% above where they were this time last year.
Here’s Dave Chapman the head of the BC River Forecast Centre.
Chapman says we generally see half of the winter snowpack by this stage of January.
The forecast centre monitors snowpack to get a sense of what sort of freshet we’re likely to have come May and June.
The Similkameen region currently has the highest snowpack at 143% of normal.


Severe Thunderstorm And Flood Watch Now In Effect For Mississauga
Environment Canada has issued a severe thunderstorm watch for the Halton-Peel region.
Thunderstorms are forecast to develop this afternoon into this evening.
Intense rainfall associated with thunderstorms can cause flash floods in urban areas; however, flooding of the Credit River and its major tributaries is not expected. Due to the flash floods, local streams and rivers could become dangerous, especially in the vicinity of culverts, bridges and dams.
The public is advised to stay away from all watercourses.
Credit Valley Conservation will continue to monitor weather and water levels in the watershed.
This flood outlook will be in effect through Sunday, July 21th, or until further notice.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — New Mexico has seen record heat and record cold over the course of 48 hours. A rare September storm has brought rain, wind and even snow to the state.
Snow has been falling in Red River since about 7 p.m. Tuesday night. This is the earliest Red River has seen snowfall.
The previous record was set on Sept. 17, 1971. The area is expected to see about eight inches of snow.
The New Mexico Department of Transportation is working to keep the roads clear despite the winter storm. Officials said they're worried about slick roads on Raton Pass, so they're reminding drivers to be extra careful.
Near Chama, the New Mexico Red Cross is helping Rio Arriba County officials after heavy snow damaged several campsites and RV's. Roughly 50 campers were displaced, but no injuries were reported. Officials with the Chama Fire Department said they're using the First Baptist Church as an evacuation shelter.
Winds in Albuquerque peaked at over 70 mph at the Sunport Tuesday evening. The wind caused many downed trees and power lines, leaving over 15,000 PNM customers without power by Wednesday morning.

Current Watches and Warnings
Montana, Golden Valley
Areal Flood Warning
Statement as of 1:28 PM MST on March 07, 2014
Expires 3:15 PM EST on March 08, 2014
The National Weather Service in Billings has issued a
* Flood Warning for...
snow melt in...
Golden Valley County in central Montana...
Wheatland County in central Montana...
Musselshell County in central Montana...
* until 115 PM MST Saturday
* this replaces the Flood Advisory in effect for these areas.
* County officials and the Montana Department of Transportation have
reported significant flooding of streams and low lying areas
across the area. Some County roads are impassable. In addition...
the combination of rapid runoff and ice has resulted in high water
levels along the Musselshell river from Harlowton to Shawmut...
Ryegate and Lavina. Low land flooding is possible along the
Musselshell river and some bridges may be threatened due to backed
up ice and water. Flooding concerns on the Musselshell river are
expected to shift downriver to include Roundup and Musselshell
this afternoon and tonight.
* Residents should act now to protect their property and move
livestock and farm equipment to higher ground.
* Locations which may be impacted by flooding into Saturday include
Harlowton... Shawmut... Ryegate... Lavina... Roundup and Musselshell.
Most flood deaths occur in automobiles. Never drive your vehicle into
areas where the water covers the roadway. Flood waters are usually
deeper than they appear. Just one foot of flowing water is powerful
enough to sweep vehicles off the Road. When encountering flooded
roads make the smart choice... turn around... dont drown.
To report flooding... have the nearest law enforcement agency relay
your report to the National Weather Service forecast office.

Light snow in Oxfordshire prompts travel warning
Snow and sleet have made driving conditions difficult across Oxfordshire.
There was no major snow fall overnight, but areas including Kennington, Wantage and Abingdon had a dusting. Snow later turned to sleet.
Motorists are being advised to allow extra time for their journeys, slow down and be aware of standing water.

With the COVID-19 pandemic raging on, India has its hands full with another crisis. The fourth flood in almost two months, as South and South-West India struggle to survive in a situation far from ideal, should be a cause of concern for India and the world.
Mumbai received 2319 mm of rainfall alone in the month of August while the annual average is 2260 mm. While there was very little rainfall recorded during June and July, the first week of August saw Mumbai receiving the heaviest downpour it has seen since 1974.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has been quoted as saying, “Strong south-westerly monsoonal flow over the Arabian Sea with wind speed reaching upto 60-70 km per hour along and off the west coast at lower tropospheric levels is likely to continue to prevail during the next two days.”
An orange alert was issued by the weather department for Ratnagiri, Sindhudurg, Pune, Kolhapur, and Satara districts.
Uddhav Thackeray, CM, took inventory of the state’s administration preparedness in the wake of the heavy downpour in Mumbai and other regions. A statement was released where the authorities were asked to exercise caution and ensure the safety of the citizens.
At the same time, a red alert has been issued in the Wayanad, Idukki, Malappuram, Kozhikode and Kannur districts in Kerala by the IMD due to incessant rainfall.
A landslide on August 7, in Kerala, claimed atleast 35 lives with more bodies estimated to be trapped under the debris. The National Disaster Response Force (NRDF) has been deployed and support from the Indian Air Force (IAF) has been requested by the state government.
For the regions of Pathanamthitta, Alappuzha, Kottayam, Ernakulam, Thrissur, Palakkad and Kasargod, an orange alert has been issued for August 9.
The Thiruvananthapuram meteorological department has stated that the presence of a low-pressure area in the Bay of Bengal will further aggravate the rains till August 9. Pinarayi Vijayan, the Chief Minister of Kerala announced ex gratia of Rs. 5 lakhs to the victims’ families.
Due to heavy rains, the state of Karnataka has also experienced flood-like situations in many regions of the state. Due to the increase in the influx of water, numerous dams including Alamatti and Kabini dams, have been releasing their water and the Tungabhadra dam has reached its maximum capacity.
Projects which are industrial and may be beneficial from a business point of view should be carefully assessed and the catastrophic influence it will have on our environment should be judged thoroughly before we go ahead with it. This should be a cause for caution for everyone as extreme weather conditions are becoming the new normal.

BOSTON (CBS) – A short work week leads to a headache. The icy concoction Worcester County’s Tuesday morning went through was relatively short-lived and there’s a glimmer of hope for Wednesday: light, airy, cool.
The sunshine during the week is a one-time event. We have a different system for Thursday evening through Friday.

At this point the timing was shifted slightly. The low pressure wave will likely land south of Massachusetts on Thursday afternoon and cause some snow build-up later in the day.
CONNECTED: State to provide vaccine education, outreach, $ 1M for COVID hotspots
While there may be some showers for the evening shuttle, the real hassle will be Friday morning. During the night hours, this snow will build up into a substantial build-up. While it is currently difficult to pinpoint exact ranges, models indicate that those north and west of Boston have the highest totals.
The struggle with this system is similar to last month: the rain and snow line. On Friday there will likely be a mix of snow, sleet, rain, and even the possibility of freezing rain. In this case the overall effect could shift. Even so, Friday morning shuttles appear to be the main battle.

Showers are likely to last 24 hours (late Thursday through late Friday) and the weekend is just around the corner! Saturday and Sunday should be brighter and quieter.


For those of us who live in Southern Ontario, the weather is a popular topic of conversation!
From the storms of winter to the heat and humidity of summer, we love to talk and complain about it all.
However, it is a misconception to think that it is always cold here and that we Canadians live in Igloos!
Personally, I find it easy to cope with a cold, crisp Winter when I know that we are going to have a lovely Spring and a sizzling, hot Summer with lots of sunshine, ahead of us.
"Météorologique de l'Ontario"
In Spring , even after the snow has melted, Mother Nature can still surprise us with a final blizzard before the warm days arrive.
During March the snow and lakes thaw, the days become longer and the sun becomes stronger. This is my favourite time of year as the temperature in mid-March is usually mild and pleasant, with warm day time temperatures, cool evenings, and occasional rain.
In Summer this area of the country enjoys long hot summer days, with very little rain.
The average temperature here in July is 25°C (77°F) to 28°C (82°F). Unfortunately, we also experience some days of high humidity. This high humidity, along with unstable weather, can cause tornadoes to form once or twice each decade.
In Autumn we experience beautiful fall in Southern Ontario.
We have the most vibrant fall colours when all the trees begin to shed their leaves - scarlet, crimson, orange and yellow, in every hue and shade you can imagine. The days in fall are getting cooler and shorter, but the days are still sunny and warm.
Winter brings with it the beauty of the snow covered landscape, along with challenging driving conditions, when blizzards and "white outs" cause numerous traffic accidents!
In January our temperatures average -6°C (21°F) to 0°C (32°F). Sometimes, during a cold spell, the temperature may drop below -30°C (-22°F) in some parts of Southern Ontario, while in the Southwest and the Niagara region, the temperature hardly ever drops below -20°C (-4°F).

The warning, which began Wednesday, was expected to be lifted at 8 p.m. A combination of high heat, low humidity and strong winds create a high risk of wildfire.
On Wednesday, the Los Angeles Fire Department placed "red flag parking restrictions," which banned parking on streets that fire trucks would have a tough time navigating. Those restrictions were expected to be lifted by 8 a.m. Thursday.
Santa Ana winds pushed gusts between 45 and 60 miles per hour across coastal and valley areas. In some places, winds reached as high as 84 miles per hour.
"My back fence is totally completely ripped off. Luckily my dogs are very trained and they stayed in," Ontario resident Claudia Aguirre said.
Schools in the San Jacinto Unified School District in Riverside County were closed all day because of high winds, according to the district's website.
Temperatures were expected in the high-90s for Los Angeles and Orange counties. Valley and Inland Empire temperatures may hit triple digits. Some cities, including Glendale and Redlands, offered cooling centers to help residents escape the heat.

When we look at imagery from SOHO or SDO at a wavelength of 28,4 nanometer, it shows the outer hot layers of the atmosphere of the Sun, to be specific: the corona. The magnetic field of the Sun plays a great part in how we see this image. The bright areas shows us hot and dense gas that's captured by the magnetic field of the Sun. The dark and empty areas are places where the magnetic field of the Sun reaches into space so that hot gas can escape. That's why it's called a coronal hole. They get the dark colour because there isn't enough hot material.
The magnetic field around a coronal hole is different than the rest of the Sun. Instead of returning to the surface, these magnetic field lines stay open and stretch out into space. At the moment we do not yet know where they reconnect. Instead of keeping the hot gas together, these open magnetic field lines cause a coronal hole to form, where solar wind can escape at high speeds. When a coronal hole is positioned near the centre of the Earth-facing solar disk, these hot gasses flow to Earth and cause geomagnetic disturbances on Earth with enhanced auroral activity on high latitudes. Depending on the size and location of the coronal hole on the disk, more or less auroral activity can be expected. Coronal holes are usually not interesting for middle latitude sky-watchers and often do not even produce geomagnetic storming conditions. Other than a coronal mass ejection, a coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS) arrives slowly with first a steady increase in the solar wind density followed by an increase in solar wind speed while the density is falling.

WATFORD CITY, North Dakota-
A Memorial Day tornado was caught on video tearing through a community in North Dakota.
Nine people were injured from this storm, one had to be airlifted to a hospital for treatment.
The twister damaged an oil field camp, and about a dozen RVs.
Crews from the National Weather Service are surveying the damage to determine the strength of the tornado.

Bengaluru on Thursday reported heavy rain, which caused waterlogging, reported Mint.
The incessant downpour caused the city’s Madiwala lake to overflow. This resulted in flooding in areas such as BTM Layout, HSR Layout, and Anugraha Layout.
The heavy rain also weakened the foundation of a building in Mahalakshmi Layout, the Hindustan Times reported. The Bengaluru civic body had to demolish the building on Wednesday.
The India Meteorological Department has predicted heavy rain to very heavy rainfall in isolated places along the coast and parts of South Karnataka till October 17.
Kerala, Mahe and Lakswadeep are also expected to receive heavy rain.
Within 10 days, Bengaluru has recorded 112% more rain for October, Deccan Herald reported, quoting meteorological experts. The weather department attributed the rain to the cyclonic circulation over east central Arabian Sea.
“This amount of rainfall is not considered normal for Bengaluru,” said Rajiv Manickam, a scientist at the weather department.
On Wednesday, the pick-up and drop-off points at Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport were flooded, reported The Economic Times. The passengers had to be ferried through tractors to the exit as four-wheelers could not reach the airport.
The waterlogging at the airport was cleared with the help of the police and the airport authorities by Wednesday evening, Deputy Commissioner of Police (North East Division) CK Baba told IANS. “[We] also facilitated the traffic near the toll gates till late in the night as traffic was delayed by two to three hours,” he said.
Railway tracks of Bengaluru’s Metro were also waterlogged, according to The Economic Times.
Meanwhile, a 56-year-old man died of electrocution in Bengaluru’s KP Agrahara rea, according to Bangalore Mirror. He had tried to switch on the power to his home that was filled with rainwater.


Pittsburgh could have clear view of lunar eclipse Sunday night
The region could have a clear of a rare lunar eclipse Sunday night, depending on “hit or miss” breaks in clouds, and outdoor stargazers need to break out the long underwear.
The National Weather Service is predicting partly cloudy skies that could make eclipse watchng “iffy” and dangerous temperatures — from zero to 5 degrees — with wind chills dipping to 11 below.
A windchill advisory will be in effect from 7 p.m. Sunday to 1 p.m. Monday.
Clear Sky Chart, a website for amateur astronomers, indicates skies should be clear in Pittsburgh during peak eclipse hours.
“It should be very easy to see the moon,” said Terry Trees of New Kensington, longtime member of the Amateur Astronomers Association of Pittsburgh. “I fully expect we’re going to see something that’s red or orange tonight.”
But don’t expect him to venture outdoors.
“At this temperature, I doubt it,” he said. “I’ve seen a number of these, and it might be a good time to look out the windows with binoculars.”
The astronomy association has canceled an eclipse viewing party at Wagman Observatory in Deer Lakes Park in Frazer because of the weather. Pittsburgh has canceled a similar event with park rangers at the Frick Environmental Center at Frick PArk.
Beginning around 10:34 p.m. Sunday, the Earth will move directly between the moon and the sun, creating a total lunar eclipse. Trees said it will start with a sliver of the moon disappearing in the Earth’s shadow.
Totality — when Earth’s shadow completely darkens the moon — will begin around 11:41 p.m. and last 62 minutes.
Trees said the moon should look red or orange because of sunlight scattering off Earth’s atmosphere.
It should also appear bigger and brighter than normal — a super moon — because of its slightly closer position to the Earth.
“It should be very easy to see the moon,” Trees said. “I fully expect we’re going to see something that’s red or orange tonight.”
Trees said winds ranging from 12 to 16 mph could make telescope viewing a little blurry.

This winter, head north and bring your warm hat and mittens with you as you watch the stunning Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, vividly light up the sky.
The display is expected to be even stronger and brighter than it has been in the past because of the sun’s recent activity.
“Recent observations of sunspots, a measure of how active the sun is, show a dramatic increase from this time last year, and we are approaching the expected peak of the 11-year solar cycle in 2024 or 2025,” New Scientist reported.
“The full moon will also diminish the apparent brightness of the aurora (not the actual brightness),” the SWPC continued.
Here are the best places to see the dancing lights that shine in the sky during the upcoming season — and a few helpful tips to maximize your experience. (Zhang Cheng/Xinhua via Getty/iStock)
The Northern Lights are usually on full display from September to March or April, but the best time to see the lights are in the late evening or early morning.
“Best aurora is usually within an hour or two of midnight (between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. local time),” the SWPC reported.
“There may be aurora in the evening and morning, but it is usually not as active and therefore, not as visually appealing.”

This quilt will keep you warm -- it's about 11 million degrees Fahrenheit.
The space agency's colorful images of the sun rarely resemble the yellowish, featureless disks that we see in our own pictures -- sometimes colored a bit more red when near the horizon since the light must travel through more of Earth's atmosphere and consequently loses blue wavelengths before getting to the camera's lens.
NASA's Specialized ground-based or space-based telescopes can observe a colorful array of light far beyond the ranges visible to the naked eye. And NASA pores over those pictures, each of which conveys a different piece of information about different components of the sun's surface and atmosphere, the agency recently said.
To demonstrate the wide array of spectrums that NASA studies, the space agency put out a colorful tapestry image that resembles a solar quilt, with red, blue, green, purple, orange and other colored images of the sun.
"Yellow-green light of 5,500 Angstroms, for example, generally emanates from material of about 10,000 degrees F, which represents the surface of the sun. Extreme ultraviolet light of 94 Angstroms, on the other hand, comes from atoms that are about 11 million degrees F and is a good wavelength for looking at solar flares, which can reach such high temperatures," Karen C. Fox from NASA Goddard Space Flight Center wrote on the agency website recently.
"By examining pictures of the sun in a variety of wavelengths – as is done through such telescopes as NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), NASA's Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) and the ESA/NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) -- scientists can track how particles and heat move through the sun's atmosphere."
From the sun's surface on out, the wavelengths NASA studies, measured in Angstroms, are:


Damage from tropical cyclones 'set to soar'
[SANTIAGO] Tropical cyclone damage costs will increase four-fold to US$109 billion a year across the world by 2100, according to a study published in Nature Climate Change last week (1 February).
Predicted increases in population and economic activity by 2100 will increase cyclone damage costs to US$56 billion a year — more than double the current figure of US$26 billion.
And more frequent and stronger cyclones as a result of climate change are expected to add a further US$53 billion a year to the bill, the study reveals, quadrupling the total annual cost.
The researchers adapted an existing technique that uses climate models to predict the frequency, intensity and location of tropical cyclones in each of the world's ocean basins. They tracked the anticipated path of 17,000 storms and calculated the damage when the storms struck land.
China and the United States will suffer the highest annual damage, the study predicts — US$25 billion and US$15 billion, respectively — as they will have the largest economies.
Damage costs will also increase rapidly in East Asia, and Central America and the Caribbean, where economic growth is expected to be high.
"Hurricane damage in the Central America and Caribbean region — currently about US$2 billion a year — will rise to US$14.7 billion a year by 2100, US$4.7 billion from increased assets and US$10 billion from climate change-related cyclone damage," lead author Robert Mendelsohn, a researcher at the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, United States, told SciDev.Net.
Several islands in the Caribbean 'hurricane alley' will be particularly badly affected, he said, because coasts are vulnerable to cyclones and hurricanes there affect the whole nation.
Economic damage from tropical cyclones is predicted to be less than US$1 billion a year in Europe and South America because they have fewer storms, and in Africa because "there is relatively little in harm's way", the paper says.
William Nordhaus, who studies the impact of tropical cyclones at the Yale centre but was not involved in the study, told SciDev.Net that "the paper's innovation was to simulate future tropical cyclones and make damage estimates for other countries. More work along the same lines and the development of alternative cyclone simulation models would be useful."
But Judith Curry, an atmospheric scientist at the US-based Georgia Institute of Technology, said she did not see the point in making projections 90 years in the future. "The uncertainties are huge: 10–30 years would be more plausible — and more useful."

Severe storms that pounded parts of Texas on Tuesday, made for a hectic day at one of the country's busiest airports. DFW International Airport was trying to move a backlog of stranded passengers on Wednesday.
Severe and lengthy thunderstorms with funnel cloud sightings and 100 mile an hour winds caused hundreds of flight delays and cancellations. Many passengers slept to help pass the time. The airport made cots, blankets, and other supplies available to the stranded travelers.

Weather 2014: Hottest weather ever recorded saw the Earth sizzle in May
Parts of Spain, Australia and Kazakhstan saw the mercury hitting higher levels than ever before
The Earth was hotter than ever before in May, with experts claiming temperatures will continue to rise.
Measuring at an average of 15.54 degrees Celsius, the Earth’s temperature was higher in May than it has even been since records began in 1880. Experts believe the rise was caused by exceptionally warm ocean water.
Parts of Kazakhstan, Indonesia, Spain, South Korea and central and north-western Australia experienced the hottest temperatures, according to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Temperatures during the first five months of 2014 smashed records in California by five degrees Celsius, but the remainder of the US failed to near its highest temperatures following a polar vortex earlier in the year.
Dr Kim Cobb, a climate scientist at Georgia Tech, said that it is likely that records will continue to be broken, particularly as experts predict an El Niño weather pattern is likely to combine with the effects of man-made global warming, the Telegraph reported.
El Niño occurs when waters on the Pacific equator are unusually warm, which can lead to disruptive changes in ocean and wind currents across the world.
Although ocean temperatures hit a record high in May, it is not classed as an El Nino event as the warm water has not yet changed the air temperature, the NOAA said.
Parts of the north eastern Atlantic, small sections of the north western and south eastern Pacific, and the ocean waters off the southern tip of South America were cooler than average.
The expected trend in warmer weather and broken records is likely to bolster climate change campaigners, particularly as May was 0.74 degrees Celsius warmed than the world average during the 20th century.
“[The high temperatures] should remind everyone that global warming is a long-term trend,” Princeton University climate scientist Michael Oppenheimer told the newspaper.

Even though I know the context of this image I still thing the pattern of dancing morning sunlight on the railway bridge wall is deceptive. It looks as though the bridge may be crossing water, but in reality it is a pattern created by the shadows of tree branches next to the bridge and the relief texture of the stones with which it is built.
The quality of sunlight was particularly noticeable on my walk this week – a circular walk to Castell Ddu. This was undoubtedly due as much to the reflective qualities of the frost all around as the fact that there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. It is also possible that the atmosphere itself, the air, may have had less particulate matter floating around than usual but that is something you more often find after a day of rain, when the falling water has washed the atmosphere clean. Whatever caused this combination of environmental circumstances, it made for a very pleasant walk.

BOSTON - In many parts of the country, the first snow of the season has already transpired. States like Colorado and Minnesota get to have the powdery white precipitation contribute to the aesthetic of playing holiday music pretty early on.
Massachusetts, on the other hand, will occasionally see snow early on in the fall and winter months, but it is not necessarily a guarantee. I would say that, more often than not, we do not have a white Christmas here in the bay state. Most of the snowfall we experience piles up in January and February.
However, if you have been paying attention to the weather set for New England this week, then you might have noticed that the first snow of the season could actually be coming tomorrow!
Obviously, I'm going to take this with a grain of salt because meteorologists are far from perfect, but it is still enough to get excited about nonetheless. And besides, is it not better to be prepared for snow at all times?
According to weather reports for New England as reported by CBS, some of the higher elevation points in the region are practically guaranteed to receive snow. For those of us closer to sea level, however, many are predicting that the snow is going to pass without falling and we will instead be solely subjected to the freezing temperatures.
WCVB's Cindy Fitzgibbon remarked that snow may come late on Thursday night both north and west of Boston, but that Boston itself will likely remain snow-free, as opposed to earlier this week when the threat of snow was imminent for Friday morning.
Sarah Wroblewski of WBZ News, however, acknowledged that while snow will avoid Boston, it seems increasingly likely that any county between Hampshire and Worcester will experience roughly an inch of snow on Thursday evening.
I am probably in the minority when I say I love snow, but I can't help it. It's something so cold and yet, it always makes me feel so warm. Personally, as long as everyone stays safe and no one has to endure any sort of calamity, I will be rooting for the first snow of the season tomorrow.

The calendar is about to turn to April, but you will notice snow on Bay Area peaks this Wednesday morning.
A rare spring dusting happened overnight.
It was coming down pretty hard on Mt. Hamilton in the 6 a.m. hour during reporter Bob Redell's live report.
The poor guy was up on the hill without gloves and he is fighting a cold so his voice was quite scratchy as he showed television viewers the white stuff falling and sticking near the 3,500 foot level.
Most of the Bay Area will only be able to see the snow on the far away peaks. The roads that normally close are closed and that is keeping members of the public from being able to truly experience the spring storm.
The weather will make itself known for the rest of us though. The streets were wet during the morning commute and more rain, which could include thunder and hail is forecast for the afternoon and evening hours.
The National Weather Service issued a high surf advisory for Bay Area beaches through 9 p.m. Wednesday. Waves could get as high as 18 feet.
And there is plenty of snow in the Sierra foothills. It's a winter wonderland up there for a second day. Spring skiers are going to have to shed the swimsuits and put on the parkas as they hit the slopes for a late season powder day.


Bitter Cold Wind Chills Grip Western New York
By Mark Wozniak
Buffalo, NY – Single digit temperatures and strong winds brought the region the coldest weather of the season Friday morning.
Wind chills in the Buffalo area dipped to minus 12 overnight. Even colder wind chills were reported in inland areas of Cattaraugus and Wyoming Counties. Wally Smith of Triple A says drivers should have their cars properly equipped for bitterly cold weather.
"Have a blanket and shovel, in case you get into a lot of heavy snow," Smith said. "There are traction mats that are sold by retail outlets. Or even throw some kitty litter into the back of the car to increase that traction."
Whiteout conditions off of Lake Erie and rapid road icing are to blame for a chain reaction accident Thursday on Interstate 90, just past the state line in northeast Pennsylvania.

High winds gusting up to 80 km/h are causing some headaches Friday evening for travellers as ferries at Billy Bishop Airport are delayed and a handful of flights at Pearson International Airport are cancelled.
Environment Canada issued a special weather statement Friday as an intense low pressure system over northern Ontario is causing strong winds in the city.
The wind is expected to ease up slightly on Saturday, but it will remain quite windy and noticeably colder as the temperature dips to a low of -10 C.
Travellers are advised to check their flight status before heading to the airport. Some of the departing flights that have been affected include trips to New York, Montreal and Chicago.

The first official day of fall brought mild temperatures but it’s a Freeze Warning that is dominating the weather story.
It’s going to be cold overnight, at least seasonably so. Many in the east will drop into the middle to upper 20s with lowers 30s West River. This looks like the coldest air we’ll see for the coming week.
We’ll have lots of blue sky tomorrow but little else. Temperatures will again be on the cool side, but it should be pleasant for most outdoor activities. Winds will be light in the east and slightly breezier in the Hills.
We’re really quiet until late Tuesday when a small batch of light showers tries to form in far SW South Dakota. We’ve left chances out for Rapid City at this time.
There could be isolated or spotty showers Thursday but it’s not looking likely. Most of the moisture stays hidden away in Iowa.

Bundle Up! Big Chill on the Way for Southern Minnesota
We've gotten off pretty easy this winter in Minnesota when it comes to cold temperatures. Sure, we've had plenty of snow -- but not much (if any) bitter cold.
Well, that's about to change.
In addition to a few quick shots of snow this week, we're about to take a dive into below-zero temps.
There's a chance of an inch or so of snow tonight, Friday, and again on Saturday -- followed by the arrival of a January arctic airmass.
We'll drop into the single digits tonight and not climb out of them during the day tomorrow. Then it get's a little weird, with temps climbing Thursday night, only to drop through the day on Friday. Then we're stuck in the arctic chill, with overnight lows dropping below zero, and daytime highs struggling to climb into the single digits.

Hundreds Witness Bright Fireball Blaze A Trail Over New England
Lawrence LeBlond for redOrbit.com - Your Universe Online
Hundreds of people have reported seeing a bright fireball blazing a trail across the early evening sky on Sunday, January 12. The fiery visitor, which appeared brighter than the near full moon for most people, streaked across the sky at around 5:20 p.m. EST, according to the American Meteor Society (AMS).Most witness reports had come from Connecticut, but people from Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire and Maine also reported seeing a bright streak in the night sky. Based on the reports, the estimated trajectory of the object is from southwest Vermont heading north and terminating over Rutland County.
WGME13 News’ chief meteorologist Charlie Lopresti posted a photo of the fireball along with the following tweet: “Great viewer photo from Plum Island Beach in MA of the "fireball" reported by hundreds around 5:30PM yesterday.”
"I thought there was a plane crashing or something," Hyannis resident Nick Franco, told Amy Anthony of Cape Cod Times. He was at the Hyannisport Club with his son, Nicholas, 11, when they saw the meteor. "It was very impressive."
"It was so big and so bright," said Kathleen Thomas of South Yarmouth. Thomas was driving on Route 28 in West Dennis when she saw the meteor. "I thought it was a plane crash."
As of 9 p.m. EST Sunday night, more than 100 reports had filtered into the AMS website.
"You can have a meteor any old time," Peter Kurtz, the treasurer for the Cape Cod Astronomical Society, told the Cape Cod Times.
Kurtz, who did not see the meteor himself, said such a phenomenon is quite common. He noted that it could be possible that this meteor is a remnant of the recent meteor shower – the Quadrantids – or possibly just a “random” visitor.
The AMS released a heat map (shown above) showing the concentrations of meteor reports from Sunday night’s event.
Scott Sutherland of Geekquinox posted in a blog that dozens of fireballs burn through the atmosphere every single day. Most go unnoticed because they happen over the world’s oceans, over remote areas of land or they occur during times when viewing conditions are obscured by daylight or clouds.
Still, rare sightings do occur, as was the case with the Chelyabinsk meteor that exploded over Russia in February 2013 or the fireball that was seen by at least a thousand people in Iowa and Minnesota just after Christmas.
Sutherland claims that this fireball may have been a “sporadic” – one that is not associated with any particular meteor shower.
“However, there is some small potential for the debris from Comet ISON to encounter our atmosphere right around now. The grains of dust blasting off the comet as it passed Earth's orbit were figured to be extremely tiny, so if we encounter them at all, we probably won't see much out of it (maybe some 'noctilucent clouds'). However, ISON gave us some nice surprises before it burned up, so who knows, it may surprise us again,” wrote Sutherland in his blog.
According to the AMS, the best place to look for any possible remnants of Comet ISON would be toward the constellation Leo, which rises about 8 p.m. and sets well after sunrise.
As for the New England fireball, experts said it is rare to actually see a meteor as bright as, or even brighter than, the moon. Of course, meteors of this brightness are not uncommon, given the perspective of the planet as a whole. The most typical bright fireballs are associated with chunks of space debris that enter Earth’s atmosphere. And with an increasing age of interconnectivity, we tend to hear about such events all the more often.


Weather forecasters said Isaac, the storm churning toward the U.S. Gulf Coast, has increased to hurricane strength.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center said the the slow-moving storm now has maximum sustained winds of 120 kilometers an hour, a Category 1 hurricane.
Forecasters said Hurricane Isaac could move ashore late Tuesday or early Wednesday.
On Tuesday, President Barack Obama urged residents in the path of the storm to take warnings from state and local officials seriously, especially if they are asked to evacuate.
“We are dealing with a big storm and there could be significant flooding and other damage across a large area,” said the president. “Now is not the time to tempt fate. Now is not the time to dismiss official warnings.”
On Monday, the president declared a state of emergency for Louisiana, devastated by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The declaration opens the door for federal funding.
Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal has urged residents in low-lying areas to evacuate.
The storm could test the city of New Orleans’ upgraded flood control and levee systems put in place after Hurricane Katrina left 1,800 people dead in 2005. Wednesday marks Katrina’s 7th anniversary.
VOA correspondent Brian Padden is in the city. He said there are few signs of life on the streets.
“I had a chance to drive throughout the city. I have been driving throughout the lower 9th ward,” he said. “It is basically a ghost town right now. Most people are sheltered in their house or have been self-evacuated.”
Padden said the weather appears to be taking a turn for the worse.
“It started off this morning quite pleasant. Some sunshine peaking through clouds. Just a small amount of wind,” he said. “And, it has been significantly deteriorating since then. Right now, we have a steady rainfall.”
New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu told residents to be prepared to live without regular water or power supplies for several days. He also urged them to leave if an evacuation order is issued.
Isaac battered eastern Cuba Saturday, after killing at least 19 people in Haiti, which is still recovering from a devastating 2010 earthquake. Two people were killed in the Dominican Republic. There were no reports of fatalities in Cuba.

There is confusion in meteorological circles (unexpected pun) about the trend of hurricane intensity over the last decade.
So far this year several storms have come to life in the Atlantic, and then fade as wind shears them apart. A newly published study by Klotzbach, Gray, and Fogarty (Nature Geoscience) suggests we should get used to this. They say the intensity of hurricanes is ‘fizzling’ and one called Fred was doing just that on September 8 2015 (above, right; top, left)).
Yet today (above, left), Mexicans are preparing for one of the strongest hurricanes ever recorded. Meanwhile, the American artist James Johnson is one of the few to have been inspired by a hurricane. A copy of his picture is available through the internet.
