All eyes across Taiwan and eastern China are on Super Typhoon Usagi which currently packs winds of up to 155 mph. This mighty storm is the strongest globally in 2013 so far and is setting it’s sights on southern Taiwan but thankfully the core should pass to the south. However, the system will make a Chinese […]
After a long, dry and hot summer over Alaska, something much more wintry arrived this morning. The first measurable SNOW in Fairbanks! While grassy surfaces saw a light dusting around town, roads were too warm for snow to stick and for appreciable amounts, you had to go outwith and into higher elevations but nonetheless, the first snowfall hit […]
Mexico has already seen a LOT of rainfall in recent weeks from tropical systems crossing the country and with another two now sweeping more rich tropical moisture inland, we could see potentially another 20+ inches over the next few days which raises significant concern of flash flooding across a broad area. We currently have 75 […]
In the last few hours, Tropical Depression 10 formed in the southwest Gulf of Mexico and this system continues to show signs of development and intensification. TD 10 may very well be upgraded to a storm during Friday and poses a SIGNIFICANT flood threat to eastern Mexico over the next 5-7 days. The trouble is […]
It was inevitable! We now have Humberto positioned on the south side of the Cape Verde Islands bringing drenching rains and gusty winds. This storm looks primed for further intensification and is likely to become the Atlantic’s first hurricane of 2013. Here’s the current rainbow satellite imagery. As the Azores end of the mid-Atlantic ridge strengthens and […]
Although there are areas to watch in the Atlantic, overall it remains quiet with no immediate threat to land. The below graphic shows two areas worth at least a watching at the present time. The system in the western Atlantic to the north of Hispaniola is the remnants of Gabrielle which appears to be showing […]
Good evening and I hope all Americans enjoyed your Labor Day weekend. I’m sure for many or most of you, it’s back to business as usual. I posted just last night about the ‘potential’ implications later down the road to a more conducive tropical Atlantic, a better African wave train and the evolving pattern over North […]
The tropics overall remain quiet and there I no immediate threat from any system out there at this time. We currently have a system bringing heavy downpours, gusty winds to the Yucatan and this feature will drift west into the Bay of Campeche tomorrow. The NHC gives this a low chance of development (20%) and will likely push […]
