While the Southern Plains are back in the oven following a long, hot, dry summer, thankfully we’re now into September and officially meteorological fall. That of course means any heat from now on will come and go quickly with shortening days and lengthening nights. High pressure systems begin to weaken and soon they will begin start migration […]
While Isaac may seen as though it’s decaying fast and there’s going to be nothing left within the next 36 hours, think again! The tropical moisture still holding on with the circulation that was once Isaac will spread east into the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic Monday through Wednesday and particularly Tuesday and Wednesday this moisture will merge with a cold […]
Tropical Storm Leslie is being closely watched by the US East Coast residents, especially after what we’ve seen with Hurricane Isaac. There remains a lot of uncertaintly with Leslie , same old story right? but as of now, I do believe there is probably no more than a 30% chance that Leslie will impact the US. […]
Over the next few days we should see Isaac begin to dissipate but it’s been a long ride with this system dumping 10-20 inches of rain over LA, MS, AL and this is extending northwards into the areas which need the rain badly. The next 2-3 days will see some decent rains push into the Midwest and […]
While Isaac relentlessly pounds the Gulf Coast and is now ever so slowly creeping north, spreading vast amounts of rain with it up across Louisiana and Mississippi, the heat is on across the Northern Plains where temperatures are climbing into the mid-100s across the Dakotas this afternoon. A strong upper high is supporting these warm numbers but with […]
Hurricane Isaac continues to hold an impressive structure on radar and satellite presentation despite making not one but two landfalls along the Louisiana coast. The warm, moist, swampy land down across far southern Louisiana and slow forward speed in the single digits with a period in which it stalled, drifted west and hugged the coast, all […]
It would appear from the latest satellite presentation that Isaac’s eye is trying to become better organised right at the point it looks s as though it’s coming ashore on the southeastern tip of Louisiana. The warm, marshy terrain down here would suggest little weakening for some time yet and it wouldn’t surprise me if […]
Well interestingly, Isaac above all places to get it’s true act together is as it’s coming shore along the Louisiana coast. It’s officially an 80 mph Category 1 Hurricane but recent dropsonde measurements have confirmed the system is intensifying with pressures down to 971mb and may in fact continue falling before the center comes onshore […]
