Time flies when you’re having fun. It’s only 2½ months until the Atlantic hurricane season starts up. Just to help remind us of that fact, ’tis the season for tropical weather researchers to be dragged from their groundhog dens to emerge from their computer laboratories and prognosticate about the coming season. Quoting Insurance Journal: Hurricane Forecaster [...]
As seen on the newswires: First the Old Man, now the Big Wind. New Hampshire’s Mount Washington has lost its distinction as the site of the fastest wind gust ever recorded on Earth, officials at the Mount Washington Observatory said Tuesday. The concession came three days after the World Meteorological Organization posted a snippet on its Web [...]
Via Jeff Masters’ blog at Weather Underground, NASA mentioned that one of the more useful tools in tropical weather monitoring was lost early this week: Several hours ago, shortly past 7:00Z today (23Nov), telemetry received from QuikSCAT indicates that the antenna rotation rate has dropped to zero and remains at zero. The motor remains powered. The [...]
This could be an interesting week for the Gulf Coast, weather-wise:
It’s rather unusual to see a tropical storm named while off the coast of Portugal. Due to its location, this is also a storm with multiple personalities. To meteorologists in North America, she’s Tropical Storm Grace. However, in Europe, where the Freie Universität Berlin Institut für Meteorologie takes the liberty of naming every low pressure center, [...] 
Early fall is my favorite time of the year in New England. The days are usually comfortable, the nights are chilly enough to enhance sleeping, and the trees start to show color…and with effort I can ignore just how much raking I am destined to do a few weeks from now. (Why did we ever [...]
At least Mother Nature doesn’t engage in gratuitous slander. Meet Fred, who will probably trouble nobody but the fishes:
For the first half of the Atlantic storm season, it seemed almost as if the season was going to be a dud. Hopefully we’ll continue the pattern of interesting storms to watch, but no catastrophic landfalls. (A non-catastrophic landfall in New England would be nice though. It’s been a few years since I was in a hurricane.)
Well, when poking my nose out on the internets over lunch, to see what was up in the world today, I happened to notice that Danny has been declared. That forecast track is, of course, just a bit to the west of the path recently taken by Bill, which made life interesting for folks in [...]
From zero to possibly three in just a couple of days. Impressive:
