August 26,1949 Hurricane
by bubba- 0 replies
- 1k views
On August 26,1949 another Hurricane hit the Palm Beach area with a path very similar to the September 16,1928 Hurricane. Specifically, it was another Cape Verde Storm that hit Palm Beach and it's environs and traveled through the Glades and Lake Okeechobee. The Army Corp. had built dykes around the Lake by this time and there was no catastrophe related to water like there was in the 1928 storm in the Glades. It was not classified as a Great Hurricane like the 1928 storm by the US Weather Bureau, which is interesting because top winds were officially measured at 153 MPH. The minimum pressure was 28.17 inches. The 1928 storm according to "authorities" had a lower wind spee…

Hi... Are there already new records this year from the weather? Here January will be take the second place from warmest january evers... January 2007 has taken place number 1. Normal average for January is 2,7C/36.8F... This january i have got already an average from 7.3C/45.2F.... with a couple day's too go. That's already more then 4C higher then normal...

It's just like a copy, becaus…

So I'm looking up "Calfiornia Hurricanes" - only four storms to affect California since 1900. 'Marie' certainly made her mark in Orange and LA Counties in late August (just recently). Last night Norbert became a Cat 3 off Central Baja only for a few hours. I was kinda hoping for some remnant action this weekend - cloud cover, humidity, . . . and some T&L activity. Sunshine is great don't get me wrong - but I've grown to like 'mexican' weather!

Climatologist from Jet Propulsion Lab points out the cold nature of these storms. For example, recorded the first sub-50 minimum for the month last night when it was partly cloud [49F\ 9.4C]. That's cold during storm conditions. Colleagues: Here is my take on whether these storms are El Nino. I'm interested in your ideas on this. While the rest of the country has been battered by strong, cold outbreaks bringing storms over the past two weeks, snow and frigid temperatures, California remained mild and dry. Now it's our turn. Riding an extremely strong (200+ mile/hour) jet stream out of the Gulf of Alaska, a conveyor belt of 3 or 4 very strong and wet s…

Summer drought see some rain today.

After two months of no rain we finally got 7 hours of rain today with 1.26 inch. Going to be balmy this weekend with the return of the sun. Long range looks like no rain till mid or late September. High yesterday was 85F, today 63F and rainy, lovely rain that will surely give all the plants a nice boost of new growth. Could be a drier warmer winter ahead if everything lines up for a supper El nino especially warmer Dec and Jan. for the PNW.

Wet drought in WA, OR and yes CA
by Palm crazy- 0 replies

Interesting article from R.S. (raw story) website. The desiccated soils and barren slopes of California have grabbed news headlines for months on end as the state is in its fourth year of a crippling drought that has forced unprecedented statewide water restrictions and billions of dollars in agricultural losses. But while most eyes have been trained on the plight of the Golden State, its neighbors to the north are also facing a dearth of water, victims of some of the same atmospheric forces that have left California parched. Oregon and Washington aren’t currently in the same dire straits as California, having at least received a fair bit of rain this winter, but t…

What are the Probabilities?
by Ed in Houston- 0 replies
- 775 views
What is the probability of a palm surviving in your area? The probability depends on not only the average (mean) low seasonal temperature given by the zone maps but also the math term "standard diviation". The SD is measure of how far from the mean a single data point (one year's minimum) is likely to occur from the mean of a data set of yearly minimums. It should be noted that the SD will be larger in locations more toward the center of a continent where drastic swings in temperature can occur. In Houston it should be less, in the inland location of Orlando even less due to the peninsula effect and even less in a location like Tampa that is on the coast. To c…

A serious website (featured in a Science magazine news story) by a group of amateur storm observers. Their report on the supertyphoon that wrecked the area around Tacloban City and vicinity in Leyte, the Philippines uses a coconut palm damage index, developed partly because the palms were abundant in the area, and assessing local damage was relatively easy. icyclone: hardcore hurricane chasing

Another Job!

Well finally this is starting to pick up. I've been working with the Palm Springs Tramway since April, providing forecasts for them. I just recently picked up another client and to my surprise who it was when they called. (BP) British Petroleum wants me to be on their meteorologist staff for six cities in this region and make "custom weather watches" like I do with SCWXA.org. They are a major company so this is a big thing for my work. Very happy. Also, the bay area thunderstorms were predictable. Upper level low and enough mid/upper level moisture would set those off in what we mets call "elevated instability", similar to what we experienced in Southern Cali…

A great deal has been written about the advent of the new Supercanes resulting presumably from Global Warming and other forces linked to mankind's destructive tendencies.It is interesting to note that the most prolifically destructive Hurricane ever in the Western Hemisphere was experienced from October 10-18,1780.Few details regarding wind speed,tidal surge or other specifics were recorded but it's effects speak for themselves. The first landmass effected was Barbados,where the entire Island was defoliated and all dwellings were knocked down.The fury of the Storm was such that the survivors did not feel the shocks of an earthquake that accompanied the storm.It was sai…

3 Turbines in Katakolo...

I always thought Western Peloponesse is more like Florida climate-wise than California, with which other Europeans try to parallel their climates. Short freezes, frost with above 0C temperatures, lots of ground water, high humidity, good growing weather up till the last day before a freeze and thus lots of damage afterwards, and of course, tornados and turbines! 3 were reported within 15 days in January: http://www.metar.gr/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2568:2015-01-21-15-36-16&catid=37:kentrikiselida http://www.patrasevents.gr/article/149329-ileia-neos-idrostrovilos-sto-katakolo-video You may remember 3 years back two passed by a property of…
