I consider it a privilege to be a member of the NOAA group that discusses weather computer model updates every couple of weeks. I’m a weather dork and to me, these are fascinating topics and I am excited about this one. Recently the NOAA group discussed AI...
Weather forecasting has come a long way since Lewis Fry Richardson, a Cambridge graduate in 1915, attempted to predict the weather using pen, paper, and basic mathematical equations. Thanks to the power of modern technology, what once took weeks to compute now happens...
Just returned from a challenging trip to the Rocky Mountains, where I successfully completed my EPA recertification. The conditions were harsh—gusty winds, changing light conditions, and the rugged Rockies conspiring against me—but I’m proud to say I came out...
As shifting weather patterns increase the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, the demand for specialized professionals like forensic meteorologists is rising. Forensic meteorologists play a critical role in understanding how climate factors contribute...
As Hurricane Milton barrels toward the Florida coastline, the latest National Hurricane Center (NHC) updates confirm the storm’s staggering intensity and potential for widespread devastation. Milton has undergone an eyewall replacement, which can temporarily weaken a...
Hurricane Milton continues to intensify at a frightening pace in the Gulf of Mexico. Recent data from NOAA and Air Force Hurricane Hunter aircraft show that Milton has become much stronger, with maximum sustained winds reaching 125 mph (110 knots). In just 24 hours,...
Tropical Storm Milton is rapidly strengthening in the Gulf of Mexico, and it’s forecast to become a major hurricane soon. Satellite and aircraft data from the National Hurricane Center (NHC) indicate that Milton has the potential to intensify quickly, posing a...
Tropical Storm Helene is on the verge of transforming into a Major hurricane, and it’s moving fast. With conditions favorable for rapid intensification, Helene is expected to deliver dangerous storm surge, flooding, and powerful winds along Florida’s Gulf Coast. Even...
First of all, kudos to the National Hurricane Center for generating this map so quickly ahead of a storm that hasn’t really developed yet. A potentially dangerous storm is forming in the northwestern Caribbean and could rapidly strengthen into a major hurricane...
A Potential Very Strong Storm Threatens the Gulf Coast and Eastern U.S. – Track Shifts East in Latest Models A potentially dangerous hurricane could approach the Gulf Coast, and the latest updates from two weather models—the European and GFS—show significant shifts in...
