A tropical system brewing hundreds of miles east-southeast of Hawaii is expected to strengthen into a tropical depression or tropical storm within days, and forecasters warn it could send 16-to-20-foot waves crashing into the islands by late week. The National Hurricane Center has designated the cluster of disorganized thunderstorms as Invest 93C, a classification that […] The post Invest 93C takes aim at Hawaii with waves up to 20 feet expected later this week appeared first on American Almanac .
A tropical system brewing hundreds of miles east-southeast of Hawaii is expected to strengthen into a tropical depression or tropical storm within days, and forecasters warn it could send 16-to-20-foot waves crashing into the islands by late week. The National Hurricane Center has designated the cluster of disorganized thunderstorms as Invest 93C, a classification that puts the system under formal investigation for tropical development. The NHC gives 93C medium odds of forming over the next two days and a high chance of development within the next week, a timeline that places the Hawaiian Islands squarely in the path of potential impacts before the weekend. The system is currently nearly stationary, sitting in the Central Pacific basin…Open
Federal forecasters are tracking two developing disturbances in the Eastern Pacific that could aim tropical weather at Hawaii within the next ten days, a threat amplified by strengthening El Niño conditions that have already produced a Category 5 hurricane this season. The National Hurricane Center is monitoring both areas for potential tropical development, though it […] The post El Niño fuels new tropical threats in the Eastern Pacific, and Hawaii sits in the forecast crosshairs appeared first on American Almanac .
Federal forecasters are tracking two developing disturbances in the Eastern Pacific that could aim tropical weather at Hawaii within the next ten days, a threat amplified by strengthening El Niño conditions that have already produced a Category 5 hurricane this season. The National Hurricane Center is monitoring both areas for potential tropical development, though it currently assigns low odds of organization over the next seven days. But several computer and artificial-intelligence forecast models, including Google's DeepMind model and the European forecast model, project that tropical activity could reach Hawaii roughly between August 14 and 17, Fox Weather reported . NOAA's Climate Prediction Center has flagged the region southeast…Open
The Atlantic basin has produced just two named storms heading into August, with a strengthening El Niño, persistent Saharan dust, and punishing wind shear combining to suppress tropical development even as waves continue rolling off the African coast. FOX Weather hurricane specialist Bryan Norcross put the situation bluntly: the National Hurricane Center "continues to show […] The post El Niño, Saharan dust, and wind shear keep the Atlantic hurricane season remarkably quiet appeared first on American Almanac .
The Atlantic basin has produced just two named storms heading into August, with a strengthening El Niño, persistent Saharan dust, and punishing wind shear combining to suppress tropical development even as waves continue rolling off the African coast. FOX Weather hurricane specialist Bryan Norcross put the situation bluntly: the National Hurricane Center "continues to show crickets across the Atlantic, the Caribbean and the Gulf into this weekend." That assessment covers millions of square miles of open ocean, and none of it, for now, is producing anything close to a hurricane threat. The quiet stretch is unusual but not unexplained. FOX Weather meteorologist Stephen Morgan broke down the three forces acting as a roadblock: El Niño's…Open
“For the most part, the aircraft have their own souls,” said a pilot of the meteorological research planes, which are known as Kermit, Miss Piggy and Gonzo.
When making forecasts, our reporters aim to visualize severe weather possibilities rather than focus on the most dire predictions. A possible blizzard this weekend is the latest test.
After a computer model began hinting that another storm could be on the way, meteorologists sought to tamp down speculation.
