  • Hilary hell: Hurricane now a Category 4 as West Coast prepares for historic event

    Hilary hell: Hurricane now a Category 4 as West Coast prepares for historic event

    Tired of living through weather history yet? It’s relentless.. and becoming so common it just stops feeling historic and instead just awful and redundant ..

    Hurricane Hilary has intensified into a Category 4 storm as it nears Mexico’s Baja California peninsula, yet is expected to weaken over the weekend as it brings rain and the threat of flooding to parts of the Southwest US.

    Some are worried that it could hit a cat 5 before weakening ..

    Hilary was churning about 425 miles south of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, early Friday morning with sustained winds of 140 mph with stronger gusts, the National Hurricane Center said.

    The updated wind cone (featured as this story’s main image) has an increased chance of tropical storm-strength winds hitting the San Diego area, up from 30%-40% to 40%-50%.

    There is also an outside chance of what’s known as a “wet” Santa Ana event, which could bring increased winds, as the circulation pushes north.

    Thanks to Hilary, “multiple years’ worth of precipitation could potentially fall in some of the driest parts of California,” Daniel Swain, a climate scientist at the University of California at Los Angeles, said Wednesday.

    Among those spots is Death Valley, California, the hottest place on Earth. Death Valley typically receives about 2 inches of rain across an entire year, according to NWS data. Moisture from Hilary could unleash enough rain to give Death Valley 1 to 2 years worth of rainfall in a single day. And Las Vegas could get 2 to 4 inches of rain. It only averages 3.75 inches of rain a year. 

    Prolonged rain may oversaturate the ground and overwhelm waterways, potentially worsening the flood threat.

    LA at risk for hurricane! 80mph winds ! Developing

    Tropical Storm Hilary is currently brewing in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Mainland Mexico and is due to develop into a hurricane by 1pm on Thursday and a major hurricane by 1am on Saturday…

    By Sunday afternoon, hurricane Hilary is expected to hit Southern California and potentially Los Angeles as a tropical storm.

    Only two full-blown tropical storms have hit the coast of California in the last century in 1939!

    ‘Although it is too soon to determine the location and magnitude of rainfall and wind impacts, interests in these areas should monitor the progress of Hilary and updates to the forecast,’ the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration warned on Wednesday.

    Under the dome

    It’s summer

    It’s hot.

    But when it gets hot we get alarming reports that it has ‘never been this hot before.’ it has.. and will be again.

    But boy when it’s hot, and this hot, it feels like it was never this hot before.

    From the National Weather Service: Summer heat wave builds across the central and eastern U.S. and excessive heat continues in the Southwest. An upper level system may produce storms capable of damaging winds, tornadoes, large hail, and heavy rain in the Great Lakes. The tail end of this system may also spark severe storms in the Plains. Critical fire weather in place for parts of the Northwestern U.S. and interior Alaska

  • Funnel cloud over Capitol Hill!

    Funnel cloud over Capitol Hill!

    Abouy in Florida waters registered a potential record breaking 101 degrees today.. 

    While the readings would’ve been considered a possible outlier or sensor error, surrounding buoys recorded similarly high temperatures, with 99.3 F at Murray Key and 98.4 F at Johnson Key.

    Another reason why these water temperature readings are being taken seriously is the fact that experts have been tracking the exceptionally warm water temperature readings that have ranged from 92-97 degrees since early July.

    Meanwhile.. Washington DC was not with a bout of severe weather and for a brief time a funnel cloud was captured forming above the nations Capitol..

    Let’s hope these don’t portend of further looking calamities to befall a nation and planet.

    THIS IS HOW THE AP REPORTED IT:

    Powerful tornadoes tore through the Deep South on Friday night, killing at least 23 people in Mississippi, obliterating dozens of buildings and leaving an especially devastating mark in a rural town whose mayor declared, “My city is gone.”

    The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency said in a Twitter post that search and rescue teams from local and state agencies were deployed to help victims impacted by the tornadoes. The agency confirmed early Saturday that 23 people had died, four were missing and dozens were injured.

    A few minutes later, the agency warned the casualty toll could go higher, tweeting: “Unfortunately, these numbers are expected to change.”

    The National Weather Service confirmed a tornado caused damage about 60 miles (96 kilometers) northeast of Jackson, Mississippi. The rural towns of Silver City and Rolling Fork reported destruction as the tornado swept northeast at 70 mph (113 kph) without weakening, racing towards Alabama through towns, including Winona and Amory, into the night.

    Search-and-rescue efforts for storm victims began after a confirmed tornado struck the towns of Silver City and Rolling Fork, the latter of which was described by one resident as obliterated.

    “I’ve never seen anything like this,” Brandy Showah told CNN. “This was a very great small town, and now it’s gone.”

    Frightening Christmas weather: A ‘once in a generation’ winter storm will impact nearly every state and cripple travel

    More than 90 million people are under winter weather alerts and more than 87 million are under wind chill alerts. The alerts stretch across 37 states, dipping as far south as the Texas/Mexico border.

    The number of people under winter alerts and wind chill alerts has grown to over 100 million people, or roughly a third of the US population, according to the National Weather Service.

    The cold will stick around for Christmas weekend, making this the coldest Christmas in roughly 40 years for portions of the Plains and Midwest.

  • Historic storm slams western New York with nearly 6 feet of snow

    Historic storm slams western New York with nearly 6 feet of snow

    So far, snowfall totals of more than 6 feet have been recorded in two locations, according to the National Weather Service. Orchard Park, where the NFL’s Buffalo Bills play, has picked up 77.0 inches in the last 48 hours, and Natural Bridge, just east of Watertown, has picked up 72.3 inches; historic numbers for the area.

    As the snowfall intensified, two county residents died from cardiac complications related to shoveling and attempting to clear the ground, said Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz.

    “We send our deepest sympathies and remind all that this snow is very heavy and dangerous,” Poloncarz said. “Please continue to avoid shoveling this very heavy, wet snow, and use caution and avoid overexertion if you must shovel today.”

    Winter weather alerts are still in effect for over 8 million people across six Great Lakes states Saturday evening: Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York.

    Forecasters and officials have been sounding the alarm on the life-threatening nature of this snowstorm, which is historic even for the Buffalo region where heavy snow is the norm during winter months. And the forceful snowfall is expected to continue through the weekend with brief periods of relief.
