The official hurricane season in Florida follows the Atlantic hurricane season, starting on June 1 and concluding on November 30. Florida has experienced the brunt of hurricanes compared to other US states, with a record of over 120 direct hits since 1851.
A detailed analysis of historical storm data reveals interesting patterns. The data, obtained from the NOAA National Hurricane Center's Hurricane Research Division, was represented in a graph above, demonstrating the likelihood of experiencing a hurricane on any given day of the year. We applied Gaussian smoothing to this historical storm data to better highlight the trends.
The graph compares daily probabilities of hurricanes from the Atlantic basin, Gulf storms, and actual landfalls of tropical storms in Florida. The peak of hurricane likelihood occurs in September, but there is a noticeable spike in tropical storm activity around June, which is characteristic of storms originating from the Gulf of Mexico. This proximity to the Gulf can also lead to an occasional risk of hurricanes outside the official hurricane season months.
The Gulf of Mexico is known to occasionally produce early storms due to its warm waters and favorable environmental conditions.
The Atlantic Coast, particularly the Southeast Florida region encompassing Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties, experiences the brunt of hurricanes. These coastal areas are at high risk due to their proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, where many hurricanes form.
The Florida Keys, a chain of islands south of the mainland, are also highly susceptible due to their low-lying topography and direct exposure to the Atlantic.
On the Gulf Coast, the Tampa Bay area often bears the brunt of hurricanes. The bay's unique shape and depth can amplify storm surges, leading to significant flooding in this region.
The following graph provides a visual representation of hurricane-prone areas in Florida. The heatmap, defined by the frequency of occurrence weighted by wind speed, transitions from blue to red. Blue areas indicate lower-risk regions, while red areas represent the highest risk.
The dense red clusters on the graph represent Southeast Florida and the Florida Keys, emphasizing their vulnerability to hurricanes. The Tampa Bay area, while not as intensely red, still exhibits a significant risk level due to the presence of lighter red and orange hues.
Preparing for a hurricane season in Florida is a critical aspect of disaster management. Being prepared can significantly reduce the potential risks and damages associated with hurricanes. Before a Hurricane
The following is a brief hurricane preparation checklist:
To ensure safety during a hurricane, consider following these essential steps:
The aftermath of a hurricane can be as devastating as the storm itself. Knowing what to do next is crucial. Here's a list of steps to consider, particularly for those living in areas like Florida where such natural disasters are more common:
Step 1: Ensure Safety - Confirm everyone's safety and avoid venturing outside until local authorities have declared it safe. Beware of hazards like downed power lines and contaminated water.
Step 2: Document Damage - Take photos or videos to document the extent of damage to your property. This can be useful for insurance claims.
Step 3: Contact Insurance Company - Report the damage to your insurance company as soon as possible. Keep a record of all conversations and correspondences.
Step 4: Apply for Assistance - If eligible, apply for disaster assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). You can apply online, over the phone, or by mail.
Step 5: Start Clean-up - Begin the clean-up process once it's safe. Wear protective gear and watch out for wildlife displaced by the storm.


Researchers believe they have discovered the cause behind a mysterious, yet beautiful, aurora-like phenomenon named STEVE. Their findings confirm that STEVE is not only a phenomenon distinct from the more familiar Aurora borealis and Aurora australis that extend from the Earth’s Arctic and Antarctic regions, respectively, but also that STEVE is actually made up of two distinct phenomena.
Astronomers at Canada’s University of Calgary brought this phenomenon to the public’s attention in 2017, after learning of the mauve and green lights from citizen scientists’ posts on social media. Initially nicknaming the phenomenon “Steve”—a reference to the animated film “Over the Hedge”, where the characters use the name to describe a phenomenon that they don’t understand—the researchers later backronymed STEVE to stand for “Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement”.
In a study published in 2018, the researchers found that STEVE consisted of a river of hot gas (3,000°C / 5,432°F) that runs through an upper layer of the atmosphere called the thermosphere at an altitude of 300 kilometers (186 miles). Although it is only 25 kilometers (15.5 miles) wide, STEVE’s length runs for thousands of kilometers (or miles), and flows at 6 kilometers (3.7 miles) per second, despite the surrounding air only moving at about 10 meters (32.8 feet) per second.
Further investigation has uncovered not only the mechanism behind STEVE’s unearthly glow, but also that it is actually two distinct phenomena, split between the meandering mauve ribbon and its segmented green “picket fence” appearance.
“Aurora is defined by particle precipitation, electrons and protons actually falling into our atmosphere, whereas the STEVE atmospheric glow comes from heating without particle precipitation,” explains Bea Gallardo-Lacourt, a space physicist at the University of Calgary and co-author of the new study. “The precipitating electrons that cause the green picket fence are thus aurora, though this occurs outside the auroral zone, so it’s indeed unique.”
In a traditional aurora, charged particles from the solar wind and the Earth’s magnetosphere enter the upper atmosphere near the poles where it charges the nitrogen and oxygen present there, causing the gases to glow. STEVE’s glow, on the other hand, occurs when a flowing stream of charged particles in the ionosphere collide, causing friction that heats the particles enough to emit a mauve light. Basically, STEVE’s glow comes from a process more akin to the mechanism that lights a traditional incandescent light bulb, while aurorae work more like a fluorescent tube.
The green “picket fence” form of STEVE, so-named because to its segmented appearance, is generated by a different process altogether. This effect is more closely related to traditional aurorae in that it is generated by energetic electrons streaming in from outer space, however these particles hit the atmosphere farther south than the protons and electrons that cause aurorae, being knocked out of the magnetosphere into the ionosphere by high-frequency waves, where they produce their striped green glow. Interestingly, the picket fence form of STEVE occurs in both the northern and southern hemispheres simultaneously, indicating that the source of the charged particles comes from high enough above the Earth’s surface to affect both hemispheres at the same time.
The involvement of citizen scientists has proven to be invaluable in both the discovery of STEVE and the research uncovering the mechanism behind the phenomenon, providing photographic data coupled with precise time and location data to accompany the images. “As commercial cameras become more sensitive and increased excitement about the aurora spreads via social media, citizen scientists can act as a ‘mobile sensor network,’ and we are grateful to them for giving us data to analyze,” according to Toshi Nishimura, a space physicist at Boston University and lead author of the new study.

“strong, sustained snowstorm,” 1859, origin obscure (perhaps somehow connected with blaze (n.1)); it came into general use in the U.S. in this sense the hard winter 1880-81. OED says it probably is “more or less onomatopœic,” and adds “there is nothing to indicate a French origin.” Before that it typically meant “violent blow,” also “hail of gunfire” in American English from 1829, and blizz “violent rainstorm” is attested from 1770. The winter storm sense perhaps is originally a colloquial figurative use in the Upper Midwest of the U.S.

MW-3 coming up late tonite by 11 pm.
Saturday, April 23, 2011
And there it is ! Our poll is over ! 46c in Larkana (Pakistan) today, 23rd April. 45c in Nawabshah and Jacobabad. Poll shows only 7% having voted for this period. Rest 93 % had opted for the 45c earlier than 21st April.
Map shows the cooler anomaly in India today, this map shows the heat slowly creeping into India.
But,as Vagaries mentioned yesterday, (see Vagaries Forecast map of 21st.) after this weekend, gone are the days of 30s for N.India, brace up for the 40s now.
The South based UAC mentioned has resulted in very heavy rains in T.N, South interior Karnataka and Kerala, for the 2nd day on Friday.
Rainfall: Yercaud 14 cms, Kanchipuram, Bangalore A.P, 11 cms, Bangalore city and Omalur 10 cms. Thiruvananthpuram measured 7 cms.
The UAC in the south is no more embedded in the North-South trough. The rains intensity in the southern states is expected to decrease from Sunday, with little rain in few pockets from Monday.
As expected, the rains in central regions of India have abated now.And keeping the hottest regions very comfortable temperature wise. Nagpur was at a high of 34c (-7c). Nights were very very low, at an average of around 20c as the minimum. See comparison being put up later tonite on MW-3.
Dry for Vidharbha and adjoining regions for next week.
On Tuesday, 26th, An East-West trough could form along the Himalayan foothills. Why I mention this is, because the Eastern end of the trough, in Nepal could get active with incursion of moisture.
Eastern Nepal could see some renewed rainfall, from Wednesday 27th. Kathmandu falls in the rainfall area. Capital can get rains on Wed/Thu next. More of this later.

It doesn’t matter if you live in the pro dibs or anti-dibs camp. This is wrong!
At a news conference on Monday, Quinn said the snow paralyzed some the state’s biggest snow plows and salt trucks.
Part of the roof of a popular suburban banquet hall collapsed overnight, apparently due to the weight of the heavy snow that fell during Tuesday’s snowstorm.
Chicago area residents were shoveling out from heavy snow Wednesday morning, following the biggest winter storm in two years.
It might be tough to drive in, but Tuesday’s snowstorm should bring some benefits to the Chicago area.
It’s going to get progressively worse on Chicago area roads this afternoon and evening as the winter’s first snowstorm moves through, but the Illinois Department of Transportation said it’s ready to keep highways as clear as possible.
CBS 2’s Susanna Song reports one northwest suburb was using some new techniques to help drivers stay safe on the roads.
The far northwest suburbs will be the first to get the blast of winter weather headed for the Chicago area on Thursday, and they could get the worst of the storm in Illinois.
With snow in the forecast, the owner of a Bridgeport hardware store has his fingers crossed.
A sloppy, slushy mix gave way to rapid, heavy snow across the Chicago area Friday morning, leaving roads treacherously slick and making for a miserable morning commute.
Chicago is getting slammed by all the worst of winter Friday, with dangerous cold in the morning giving way to a snowstorm that could dump up to 8 inches.
The City of Chicago did not enact its 2-inch parking ban for the snowstorm, but in some suburbs, you could find yourself towed if you’re not careful.
Bitter cold has set in after the snowstorm Thursday, as people struggle to get around, clean up, and start their cars.
Shootings and other violence seemed to die down as Chicago got hammered with snow Thursday, but not so in the hours leading up to the storm.
After cancelling all flights most of Thursday afternoon due to the snowstorm, Southwest Airlines resumed a full flight schedule at Midway International Airport at 6 p.m.
If you’re wondering when the city is going to clear away the snow that’s piling up on your street, stare out the window no more.
Spring in January is officially over, as the first major snowstorm of the season blanketed the Chicago area, forcing airlines to cancel hundreds of flights and threatening to make a mess of the evening rush.
Enjoy the last day of spring in January Wednesday, because within 24 hours, a powerful snowstorm will be clobbering the Chicago area – and it could make for a dangerous commute.
Seven months after the Metrodome’s ceiling collapsed in a snowstorm, forcing the Vikings to play their final two home games last season elsewhere, the new roof has been raised in plenty of time for the first preseason game.


Monday, June 5, 2006 | Sunday we still had quite a bit of SW ground swell along the coast and NW wind swell is starting to make its presence known as well. More SW swell is on tap during the first part of this week, and wind swell will bring some additional energy into the mix. Our next southern hemi SW swell is due on Sunday the 11th, and models today think we’ll be seeing more NW energy by the middle of the month.
Right now, the California Buoy is checking in at 8 feet with 17-second periods. Closer to the coast, the Half Moon Bay buoy is at 4 feet with 17-second periods and Cape San Martin buoy is at 6 feet with 14-second periods.
SW periods are running 14 seconds from 175-185 degrees, and NW wind swell is coming through with periods running only 8 seconds from 310-320 degrees.
In SoCal, most south facing breaks are seeing sets in the chest high + zone with top spots, mostly south of Ventura County, picking up set waves running head high with occasional pluses. West facing spots are seeing mostly waist to at times chest high surf.
Northern California and the Central Coast are seeing chest high surf at most south facing breaks, waist to chest at west facing breaks.
Water temperatures are averaging 67 degrees in San Diego, 67 in Orange County, 67 in LA, 61 in Ventura County, 63 in Santa Barbara, 56 along the central coast, and 55 in NCal.
Winds as of 8:00 this morning were light and variable most everywhere in SoCal, but the Central Coast was checking in with NW winds to 16 mph, and NCal had winds to 15 from the west. Winds will likely stay problematic north of Pt. Conception over the next few days, and SoCal could see some brisk onshores this afternoon as well. In at least SoCal, winds should become quite…more

Fiji residents warned to prepare for possible tropical cyclone
Fiji's Meteorological Service has confirmed there are two tropical depression systems which are likely to merge and form into a cyclone.
Director Alipate Waqaicelua says the first system will come over Fiji from Tuesday night before being joined by a second system in the coming days, with wild weather set to continue over the weekend.
Water levels in rivers are being monitored for any signs of flooding.
Earlier, forecasters warned a tropical depression moving towards Fiji from Vanuatu could develop into a category one or category two tropical cyclone by Thursday.
"At this stage we can be reasonably confident we are not looking at a category five tropical cyclone," Mr Waqaicelua said.
"This is a category one or worse category two cyclone, but at the same time we are very mindful that it's the rains and the winds associated with this and together with the associated floods that can be quite damaging to the country."
Mr Waqaicelua says he is not expecting any damage to houses if correct precautions are taken, but banana crops may be damaged.
"We're looking at rain, strong winds and possibly a tropical cyclone with cyclonic winds as well as damaging heavy swells, with flooding," he said.
"So we are a looking at a whole range of issues to affect Fiji for the rest of the week and the weekend."
Preparing for a cyclone
- Tune in to your local emergency broadcaster for updates.
- Prepare your cyclone kit, make a note of the location of any item not in your kit.
- Prepare your home.
- If an official evacuation order has not been issued, you may shelter in your home until it passes.
- If an official evacuation order is issued then you and your family must leave your home immediately.
- If evacuating, seek a public shelter or shelter with friends or family further inland or on higher ground.

Italy's first flood victims recorded, meteorologists say of storm in Sicily
Floods have "occupied" the Sicilian city of Catania, killing at least two people. Strong storms hit southern Italy for the third day in a row, leaving submerged roads in some parts of the island of Sicily.
Meteorologists say eastern Sicily is being hit by a rare Mediterranean hurricane known as the Medicane. Italy's Department of Civil Defense yesterday issued the harshest weather warning for parts of neighboring Sicily and Calabria, reports the BBC .
The agency warned of potential life-threatening and property damage from heavy rain, storms and strong winds. The mayor of Catania, Salvo Pogliese, said eastern parts of Sicily were experiencing extraordinary weather events "unprecedented" in their intensity.
Citing the "seriousness of the situation", the mayor ordered the closure of all businesses in Catania except for essential services. Rains have flooded historic parts of Catania.


SYDNEY -- Dangerous heat is roasting parts of Australia with temperatures that haven't been seen in decades. The temperature in Sydney hit an almost 80-year high of 47.3 degrees Celsius, or 117 Fahrenheit, on Sunday -- a sharp contrast to the bitter cold that has gripped much of the U.S.
The temperature was just shy of the city's all-time high of 47.8 C (118 F), set in 1939.
New South Wales Police Deputy Commissioner Catherine Burn said the state's heat wave plan had been activated to respond to "severe to extreme heat conditions."
Thousands were left without power, and total fire bans were put in place as officials warned of a severe danger. Residents were urged to drink extra water and limit their time outdoors because of air pollution resulting from the hot weather.
Players participating in the Sydney International tennis tournament were forced off the court Sunday by the event's organizers after temperatures exceeded 104 F (40 C), BBC News reports.
The heat forced France's Kristina Mladenovic to retire midway through her match against Australia's Ellen Perez. "43 degrees but probably 50 on court when started," Mladenovic tweeted. "I'm sorry to the fans, I think it's the first time in my career I retired [from] a match."


Saturn's Moon Titan Is Slushy Inside
This artist's illustration shows the likely slushy interior structure of Saturn's moon Titan deduced from gravity field data collected by NASA's Cassini spacecraft. Full Story.
Giant Sand Dunes on Titan Shaped by Backward Winds
Scientists have used data from the Cassini radar mapper to map the global wind pattern on Saturn's moon Titan using data collected over a four-year period, as depicted in this image.
Ice on a Volcano
Wednesday, January 19, 2011: This topographic image shows an area of Saturn's moon Titan, known as Sotra Facula, which may harbor an ice volcano (cryovolcano). Finger-like flows suggest the presence of cryovolcanism. NASA's Cassini spacecraft collected data for this false-color image in which heights are exaggerated by a factor of 10.
The blurring effects of Titan's aerosol are obvious in this image, where the orange moon peeks from behind two of Saturn's rings. Small, battered Epimetheus, another of Saturn's 62 moons, appears just above the rings.
titan northern half
Titan's northern half, where it's early spring, appears slightly darker than the southern half, where it's early fall, in this image taken on March 22, 2010. Like Earth, Titan has four distinct seasons, each of which lasts about seven of Earth's years.
Moons on the Move
Titan emerges from behind Saturn while Tethys streaks into view in this colorful scene on March 24, 2008. Titan is 5,150 kilometers (3,200 miles) wide; Tethys is 1,071 kilometers (665 miles) wide. Saturn's shadow darkens the far arm of the rings near the planet's limb.
Flowing Liquids on Titan
Abundant evidence for flowing liquids is seen in this view of Saturn’s moon Titan, from sinuous, wide river channels to shorter, more chaotic drainage patterns. This radar view of Titan's south pole was taken on Dec. 20, 2007.

Titan - methane rain
NASA’s Cassini spacecraft chronicled the change of seasons as it captured clouds concentrated near the equator of Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, on Oct. 18, 2010.
Titan's Seasonal Precipitation
Cloudy with rain. Simplified global atmospheric circulation and precipitation pattern on Titan and Earth. Most precipitation occurs at the intertropical convergence zone, or ITCZ, where air ascends as a result of convergence of surface winds from the northern and southern directions. Titan’s ITCZ was previously near the south pole (A) but is currently on its way to the north pole (B). The seasonal migration of the ITCZ on Earth is much smaller (C and D). This image appears in a Perspective by Tetsuya Tokano titled, "Precipitation Climatology on Titan."


TONIGHT: Partly cloudy with lows in the 20s and 30s. Wind gusts up to 20-30 MPH are possible overnight.
WEEKEND: Fire weather will be anticipated to continue through the weekend. Plenty of sunshine and dry conditions are expected with mild temperatures in the 60s and 70s.

Met Eireann said there was an increased risk of heat stress, high solar UV index and water-related incidents.
It came as a man in his 60s died after getting into difficulty while swimming in Portarlington, Co Laois, on Saturday.
The incident happened at around 3.30pm at Derryounce Lake.
The man was taken from the water and brought by ambulance to Midland Regional Hospital Portlaoise, but was pronounced dead a short time later.
It is the third swimming-related death to have occurred in the past week.
Minister for the Environment, Eamon Ryan urged people to be careful near water.
“It happens every time, it’s so predictable, but so tragic for every family,” Mr Ryan told RTE.
“Let’s not make it a fourth family, destroyed, ruined, in this good weather,”
“Be careful, don’t go into waters that you don’t know how safe they are, stay close to the shore, look after each other, we don’t want another tragic loss.”
As the heatwave arrived in Ireland, Dublin City Council put contingency plans in place to protect the homeless from extreme temperatures and Irish Water reminded people to be mindful of their water usage.

HENRYVILLE, Ind. (AP) -- Authorities say at least eight people have been killed by tornadoes that ripped through a wide area of southern Indiana.
Spokesman Jet Quillen of the state Joint Information Center says three people died in Jefferson County and three were killed in Scott County as storms battered the state Friday. Another two were killed in Ripley County.
Quillen reports substantial damage in Henryville and Marysville in Clark County and New Pekin in Washington County.
The twisters tossed debris onto roadways across the area north of Louisville, Ky. The devastation has made it difficult for rescue workers and others to get to communities damaged by a line of powerful storms that wreaked havoc in several states.
Our own Chief Meteorologist Brian Bledsoe says that additional tornadoes will occur through the night, some of which may be violent and long lived.

The Sun undergoes a type of seasonal variability with its activity waxing and waning over the course of nearly two years, according to new research led by NCAR.
Our Sun goes through a few activity cycles and a new study has identified one such cycle that is almost seasonal in nature. According to the report, published in the journal Nature Communications, the nearly two-year cycle appears to be caused by shifts in the bands of powerful magnetic fields in each solar hemisphere. These bands also aid in shaping and approximately 11-year solar cycle that is part of a lengthier cycle that lasts approximately 22 years.

A dense “super fog” Hovering over New Authorities said that a dense fog engulfed Orleans on Monday. The fog caused traffic jams with dozens of cars and at least seven deaths.
At At least 158 cars were involved in an accident series that began just before 9:00 am on Interstate 55, northwest of New The Louisiana State Police noted that there had been fog in the area. “contributing factor.” Police said that 25 more people were injured, including some critically.
According to police, after the accident, some vehicles that were involved in both northbound and southbound lanes caught fire. A tanker carrying “hazardous liquid” Police said that the removal of the syringe was taking place, and that it could be that “additional fatalities could be located.” The State Police encouraged anyone who has a missing member of their family to contact the agency.
Aerial images posted to the State Police’s Facebook page show several pileups Some cars and trucks, which appeared to be burned, were seen on Interstate 55.
Tyler Stanfield, National Weather Service meteorologist, explained that the thick fog was caused by a combination between moisture in the air, and smoke from marsh fires that were sporadic in the Mississippi River Valley towards Baton Rouge, La. New Orleans.
“It was the perfect storm,” Mr. Stanfield stated.
While super fog is uncommon, it’s not an unheard-of phenomenon. New Orleans usually experiences super-fog twice a yearly. Stanfield explained that the fog is typically caused by fires in marshes. These have been more common this year due to drier weather conditions.
He said that the fog started to form around 3 am on Monday morning and became thicker around sunrise. The visibility for drivers was as as One-eighth mile.
The State Police closed parts of Interstates 10, 55 and 310 On Monday morning, I warned of heavy fog. “drivers should avoid the area if possible and use alternate routes.” Interstates 10 and 310 South were reopened later, but parts of Interstate 55 remained shut on Monday night.
The fog cleared up in the afternoon, and the last remnants were seen in the suburbs to the west. New Orleans, Mr. Stanfield stated.


NEWTON COUNTY (KFSM) -- The National Weather service determined an EF-2 tornado went through Newton County overnight on Monday night (March 6).
The tornado touched down near Parthenon, causing quite a bit of damage.
The NWS said the tornado was on the low end of EF-2, with wind speeds of up to 120 mph.
National Weather Service Meteorologist Steve Drilltet said tornadoes like this one are not uncommon, but they do not often hit communities. He said when they do hit they can cause a lot of destruction.
"It's pretty wide too. It wasn't like there was one concentrated funnel. It was pretty wide, incoherent funnel that was rotating through here, but it did cause a lot of damage, a lot of tree damage," Drilltet said. "Like I said the structure over here that kind of collapsed over here and the roof being off of this portion of the church over here."
The National Weather service is surveying other parts of the county to see where the storm started.
The tornado picked up the Parthenon Post Office from it's foundation and threw it more than 200 feet across the street. Postmaster Michael Black said they spent the day going through and trying to salvage the mail. He said he was surprised at the damage.
"That was the shocking part. I expected some damage, I've seen tornadoes on TV but never up close. Nobody hurt, you can always get another building for whatever purposes, you can't get another life," Black said.
Members of the Parthenon First Baptist Church spent time Tuesday cleaning up the damage from the storm.
"It's pretty big, but we'll come back, we'll recover, we'll be okay," James David said.
David said the damage wont' keep the church from having services.
"We might just have to migrate outside instead..rain or shine we'll be alright," he said.
Emergency management said they are really lucky that no one was seriously injured in the tornado.

"It's just terrible," says J.L. Austin, a local barber, in a phone interview.
The Super Tuesday tornadoes killed at least 48 people, including four in this town. But a year-old siren system in the rural Arkansas county may have saved lives. Sirens blared 20 minutes before the tornado hit, enough time for Mr. Austin and his family to find shelter in his brother's basement.
With better weather monitoring and the wider use of sirens and other warning systems, the number of tornado deaths per million Americans has been decreasing in the United States for decades. Yet the tornadoes that swept the mid-South served as a reminder, experts say, that better public education and new technology, such as text-messaging on cellphones, could augment traditional warning systems.
Meteorological trends seem to favor efforts to accomplish that. The frequency of the strongest twisters – F-4 and F-5 tornadoes, whose destruction is the most difficult to mitigate – is on the decline, even as the overall number of weaker storms has increased.
The sheer power of the front produced the most powerful breed of twisters, some of which may have overpowered even well-prepared residents, experts say.
"This was kind of an early season event, and I think it caught people off guard a little bit," says Chris Wikle, a weather statistician at the University of Missouri.
The Southeast is no stranger to winter tornadoes, notes Harold Brooks, a scientist at the National Severe Storms Laboratory in Norman, Okla. Last year, three tornadoes touched down along a track through east central Florida in the early morning hours of Feb. 2. They carved a path of destruction some 70 miles long. In Lake County, 21 people were killed. Then on March 1, a tornado outbreak struck southern Alabama killing 11. But to have an outbreak this severe in this part of the Southeast in the first week of February "is pretty rare," he acknowledges.
Since 2000, only 8 percent of tornado deaths have occurred inside the traditional tornado alley that runs from Texas and Oklahoma to Kansas, Nebraska, and South Dakota, according to the Storm Prediction Center, also in Norman. In 2007, the vast majority of tornado deaths came farther east, in the mid-South, ranging from Alabama to Kentucky.


A Caribbean disturbance with the potential to disrupt Gulf of Mexico energy operations crossed the Yucatan Peninsula today as Tropical Storm Erin moved westward across the Atlantic.
Erin, 430 miles (695 kilometers) west of the Cape Verde Islands, headed west-northwest at 16 miles per hour, the National Hurricane Center said in a 5 a.m. New York time advisory. The storm, with winds of 40 mph, may strengthen to 60 mph in two days as its forward speed slows.
The hurricane center is also tracking a tropical wave over Mexico’s Yucatan, home to beach resorts, that has a 50 percent chance of developing into a cyclone in the next two days.
“There is potential for development once the disturbance moves over the Gulf of Mexico later today,” the center said in a separate advisory.
The Gulf is home to about 6 percent of U.S. natural gas output, 23 percent of oil production and at least 45 percent of petroleum-refining capacity, according to the U.S. Energy Department.
The Bay of Campeche, at the southern end of the Gulf, is where Petroleos Mexicanos, Mexico’s state-owned oil company, has most of its output. Florida is the second-largest producer of oranges after Brazil.
Erin will have “no impact to land for the foreseeable future” and poses little threat to the U.S., said Andy Mussoline, a meteorologist at AccuWeather Inc. in State College, Pennsylvania.
Atlantic storms are followed closely by energy companies and commodities traders because they can disrupt production and processing of natural gas and oil and destroy crops.
Erin is the fifth storm of the Atlantic season, which runs from June 1 to Nov. 30. It’s forecast to encounter dry air farther west and there’s a chance it will fall apart about five days east of the Lesser Antilles, the center said yesterday.
The Caribbean system bears watching as it may strengthen once it reaches the southern Gulf, said Matt Rogers, president of Commodity Weather Group LLC in Bethesda, Maryland.
Some computer models show the system gaining enough strength to become a tropical storm before going ashore for a last time anywhere from Mexico to Louisiana, Rogers said. Two of the most reliable models predict it won’t develop.
“The next 12 to 24 hours will be critical to see what we have left of this wave as it crosses the Yucatan,” Mussoline said. Whether it develops, “the potential is there for heavy flooding rainfall to affect the central Gulf Coast this weekend.”
Enbridge Inc.’s Manta Ray offshore natural gas gathering company evacuated non-essential personnel from two platforms off Louisiana on Aug. 14. Marathon Oil Corp. evacuated some workers from its Ewing Bank platform in the Gulf yesterday.
BP Plc began removing non-essential personnel from four offshore platforms yesterday, and drilling rigs contracted by the company halted operations. Production at all platforms “remains online,” the company said in a website statement.

Southern Japan has been lashed by a powerful typhoon that triggered landslides and floods and killed at least four people.
Transport in the area has been severely affected
More than 100,000 people were ordered to evacuate ahead of the storm, Typhoon Nabi, which brought winds of 126km/h (78mph), and up to 1.3m (51in) of rain.
The four dead were caught in two landslides in Kagoshima and Miyazaki prefectures on Kyushu island.
Local media said at least 16 other people were missing.
Japan's government sent 70 members of its Self-Defence Force to strengthen barriers and help evacuees.
"There is expected to be further damage due to the typhoon so all agencies and ministries are joining together to respond," government spokesman Hiroyuki Hosoda said.
The eye of the typhoon made landfall on the island of Kyushu, where about 10% of Japan's population lives, at 1400 local time (0500GMT).
It then moved slowly north before heading towards the Sea of Japan. It was expected to continue north towards South Korea on Wednesday.
The storm brought severe disruption to some of Japan's transport systems.
Ferry services from Fukuoka to South Korea, and from elsewhere in Kyushu to western Japan, were cancelled.
About 20,000 air passengers had their flights cancelled.
Kyushu's electricity system was also affected, with 270,000 houses suffering power cuts.
The storm came in the wake of Typhoon Talim, which battered Taiwan and China last week.
The reported death toll in China rose to at least 84 on Monday.

Hurricane Arthur is not expected to make landfall in New Jersey, but it could do some damage to your Independence Day plans.
Forecasters are saying that the storm is likely to stir up the waters along the New Jersey coast on Friday.
CBS New York reported that Arthur would hit the Jersey coast early on Friday with winds possibly reaching 85 miles per hour. There is a possibility of 1 to 3 inches of rain.
Arthur is also expected to enhance rip currents at the shore. According to The Asbury Park Press, rip currents are powerful water currents that extend from the shoreline past the line of breaking waves. "Rip currents are life-threatening if you're not prepared to handle them," a National Weather Service talk said. "The tranquil weather conditions on land this weekend could lead to a false sense of safety in the waters."


NEW: Worcester Ranked 10th Snowiest City in US
Wednesday, February 05, 2014
Worcester has been ranked by The Weather Channel as the 10th snowiest major city, with a whopping yearly total of 65.6 inches on average.
The list comes as Worcester digs itself out of the latest winter storm to engulf Central Mass--though today's deluge can't compare with the total exactly 53 years ago to the day, when the city saw a mind-boggling 42 inches on February 5th, 1961.
Worcester places just ahead of skiing destination Provo, Utah (57.3 inches average yearly snowfall) and just behind chilly South Bend, Indiana (68 inches).
But Worcester residents take comfort. The enormous totals of the list--Rochester, NY (100.5 inches), Eerie, PA (100.8 inches) and Syracuse, NY--are still yards away.

We've got Tampa Bay's evacuation maps, all the information you need for hurricane season
If you live in the Tampa Bay area, check your hurricane evacuation map. You might be among the tens of thousands of families who suddenly find themselves in a more vulnerable zone.
The changes are the result of new storm surge models by the National Hurricane Center in Miami. That data, collected by a plane affixed with new topography sensors, showed considerable differences in storm surge risk in Florida's coastal communities.
So new evacuation maps are being drawn, starting with the Tampa Bay area. Here are the latest maps:
With hurricane season just two weeks away, it's time to think about whether you're prepared. Tampabay.com's Hurricane Guide offers maps, interactive reports and stories to help you prepare. No matter how grave the weather conditions, tampabay.com will publish the most current storm news.

For the second time in less than a week, a winter storm is slamming a large swath of the Midwest with snow.
Stranded in paradise, travelers trying to get to cities in the northeast, like New York or Boston, are in a mad scramble to book flights at South Florida’s airports.
The repeated winter storms pummeling much of the country continue to cause travel headaches for drivers, air travelers, and others.
Stranded passengers at Miami International were settling in to spend the night in the concourse after cancelled flights changed their travel plans Wednesday.
Air travelers heading to the southeastern United States need to be ready for plenty of delays as two major winter storms plow through an area ill-prepared to deal with a lot of winter weather.
If you’re flying in or out of the northeastern United States, keep a book or computer handy because you could be in for some lengthy delays.
Enjoy the warmth while it lasts because after Tuesday, a series of cold fronts will move through the area to bring South Florida a longer stretch of “winter” weather all the way through the weekend.
It’s another day of delays and cancelations at South Florida’s airports as an arctic blast wreaks havoc to our north.
It’s hard to overstate how great a weather disparity there between South Florida and the rest of the country during winter. But Thursday morning it was again on display as one part of the country was frozen and S. Florida was ready to bake.
A huge snow storm that is expected to leave up to 3 feet of snow from New York City to Boston and beyond starting Friday has already canceled more than 2,600 flights through Saturday, including flights from South Florida.


Tornado season is here
Posted April 22, 2022
Tornados are considered nature’s most violent storms. A tornado appears as a rotating, funnel-shaped cloud that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground with winds that can reach 300 miles per hour.
A tornado’s path of damage can be in excess of one mile wide and 50 miles long. Drivers who are on the road in an area where a tornado warning is issued should park their vehicles and seek shelter immediately, preferably in a basement or the interior of the lowest floor of a sturdy building or storm shelter.
If outside with no shelter, drivers should lie flat in a near-by ditch or depression and cover their heads with their hands. Drivers should also be aware of the potential for flooding, as heavy rain can cause low spots to quickly flood.
Drivers should watch for flying debris. Most tornado-related deaths and injuries are caused by flying debris.
Drivers should never try to outrun a tornado. They should also not seek shelter under a highway overpass. Winds blow stronger under an overpass due to the wind-tunnel effect.

Residents and businesses across the state are being asked to reduce their energy consumption between the hours of 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Friday.
With several days of extremely hot temperatures in the forecast, a statewide Flex Alert calling for Californians to voluntarily turn off their lights and help conserve electricity was issued for Friday.
In light of the anticipated heat, the state's power grid operator is predicting an increase in the demand for electricity, "primarily from residential air conditioning use,' according to the California Independent System Operator.
Residents and businesses are being asked to reduce their energy consumption between the hours of 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Friday.
"California will be experiencing near-record or record-breaking heat, up to 10-20 degrees above normal in some areas,'' ISO officials said. "Prolonged heat over several consecutive days is expected to drive electricity demand higher, as nighttime temperatures are also forecast to be above average."
ABC7 News Meteorologist Mike Nicco says dangerous heat will create record warmth on Friday, with humidity and a chance of thunderstorms. Our extended heat wave features a roller coaster of above average temperatures through Wednesday of next week. Humidity levels return closer to normal starting Saturday.
Here are some energy conservation tips:
ISO officials say these measures can help lighten the strain on the power grid and avoid any power interruptions.

Myat Swe | DMG
6 April, Sittwe
An unseasonal weather forecast is causing concern for internally displaced people (IDPs) in Arakan State, where more than 150,000 people are sheltering in displacement camps due to clashes between the Tatmadaw and the Arakan Army.
According to the Department of Meteorology and Hydrology (DMH), isolated rain or thunderstorms are likely from April 9-11 in Kachin, Shan, Chin and Arakan states, as well as across Nay Pyi Taw, Sagaing, Mandalay and Magway regions.
U Wai Hla Aung, manager of the Tin Nyo IDP camp in Mrauk-U Township, said unseasonal rains might cause trouble for IDPs because some camp shelters are not ready to withstand inclement weather.
“The roofs of some shelters are broken. So, IDPs will face accommodation difficulties when rainwater leaks from the roofs into their shelters. They might also face more hardship having sufficient food,” he said.
Along with rain, the DMH has also warned of the potential for strong winds, thunder and lighting, and hail in the days to come.
