Tropical Storm Cindy to Bring Us Heavy Rain
wxornotBG 6/21/17: Hot & humid today, with heavy rain concerns leading to potential flooding Thursday into Friday. Publicado por Landon Hampton em Quarta, 21 de junho de 2017 Just as a prequel to our weather over the next several days, Tropical Storm Cindy formed in the central Gulf of Mexico yesterday afternoon. She currently has […]
Tropical Storm Otto Forms
You may have noticed that I haven’t done a “This Week in Tropical Weather” post since Hurricane Matthew/Nicole. Well, that is easily explained by the fact that literally nothing else has happened since then. Hurricane Matthew made his close approach to Florida, and then the Atlantic went to sleep (basically). It has now sort of woken […]
Tropical Storm Matthew Forms
This morning, Tropical Storm Matthew got off to a strong start. A former tropical wave who has been watched closely and been forecast to develop into a Hurricane in the Caribbean, Matthew finally closed off his surface circulation this morning. During his tropical wave days, Matthew took his time developing, but even yesterday (without a closed […]
The Week in Tropical Weather
I have come to the conclusion that I post way too much about the tropics. I am no expert in tropical meteorology, I wouldn’t even call myself an amateur. Tropical Meteorology is a much different animal than mid-latitude meteorology, and as such, it is difficult for me to apply my knowledge of mid-latitude meteorology to […]
The Tropical Season in the Pacific is Heating up
The Tropical Pacific has been unusually quiet over the past…well, several months. The western Pacific has tropical systems form and roll generally throughout the year, but they hadn’t had a tropical system since December. That is anomalously rare. #Himawari rapid scan view of Tropical Storm #Nepartak, 1st TS in the NW Pacific since December pic.twitter.com/KUZriJQrUC […]
Tropical Storm Colin Forms Over The Weekend
Over the weekend, Tropical Storm Colin formed in the southern Gulf of Mexico. He was named yesterday afternoon, and became the earliest “C” named storm on record in the Atlantic. Much of the model guidance had been showing a system forming in the southern Gulf, and heading for the coast of Florida as we headed […]
Tropical Depression Two Forms Over The Atlantic
Yesterday afternoon, Tropical Depression Two formed off the coast of the Carolinas in the Atlantic ocean. The system was fairly weak, and still is. It currently has winds of 35 mph and 1009 mb, but is expected to strengthen into a Tropical Storm later today. When I saw that this was Tropical Depression Two, I was […]
Potentially Catastrophic Hurricane Patricia To Impact Mexico
Over the past couple days, we have seen Hurricane Patricia churn over the eastern Pacific. Only, the last time we updated you about it, it only had winds of 130 mph, and was a Category 4 storm. #Patricia is the 9th Cat. 4-5 of the NE Pac (to 180W) season, eclipsing the old full-season record […]
Hurricane Patricia
The past 24 hours have been a whirlwind as tropical storm Patricia intensified into an extremely dangerous Category 4 hurricane with winds of 130 miles per hour. It looks to make landfall Friday evening, bringing with it destructive winds, rain, and deadly storm surge. Hurricane Patricia looks to hit central Mexico between Cabo Corrientes and […]
