Delta Dawns

Hurricane Delta in inland now
25th named storm in 2020 -WOW
Pretty much followed Laura's path
Pretty much brought Laura's wrath
Will move debris to new location
Wild wind, major rain, same sensation
Earth keeps sending us reminders
That it is taking off the blinders
Long drought here, massive storms there
Still the planet doesn't care
If we ignore reality
Overbreed for all to see
Fires, floods, virus all the rage
Still won't listen to science sage
Prayer & belief will not help
Humanity: bad review on yelp
Delta is just the Earth's way
Of moving our trapped heat away
Another reminder likely coming soon
Epsilon..will it make us swoon

Josephine On The Scene

Out in the Atlantic, quite far
Spins the next tropical wind star
Josephine is the name
Earliest J storm ever in the game
Looking to stay north of trouble
Could wake Bermuda out of a bubble
But, atmospheric change is coming
Then east coast could be bumming
In another week or so
Atlantic will turn up the show
Forecasters seem to know
In 2020, still long way to go
Too bad outlook isn't sunny
Since prez has stolen FEMA money
It'll be the same old story
Deny the problem, claim false glory
Just wait for Kyle, Laura & Marco
Next 3 in the storm row
'Fore we get to a greek letter
Hope things get a lot better
Today On Earth

Hurricane Florence Is Coming!

Haven't posted on this site in over a year - I talk weather on the main TOE every time I blog so I forget I have an actual weather blog. But, this seems like the time to spread the Flo warnings. The long lived, re-strengthening storm is still in the warm waters of the Atlantic, well south of Bermuda and while still a "fish" storm, as it was first called, that seems likely to change.
The stage is set for this to be horrific: saturated ground from a crazy wet summer, a blocking high pressure system to the north forcing it toward the coast and that high with a cold front to the west seems increasingly likely to cause the storm to stall once it does come ashore with Noachian rain for several days. Camille on steroids, this year's Harvey, first cat. 4 storm to hit east coast since 1954's Hazel (my mom told me Hazel stories, she was 8 month's pregnant with me), major disaster potential!!
Get ready, could be wind and rain like few of us have ever seen. Hate to be pessimistic but the Outer Banks could be gone or in a different place after Flo is done. And, with Virginia in the predicted "stall" zone, things could be catastrophic here, too.
Oh yea, yesterday and today's wet weather is a combination of a low with the remnants of Gordon, remember Gordon, and remember it is the G storm, named after Florence. Not sure Gordon will be retired from the name list but, sadly, it's looking like this will be the last time Flo is used and a name we long speak of and remember. Fingers crossed for the best, but, prepare for the worst, Today on Earth.

June: It's Cool, Wait, It's Hot

The cool April like temps of the last couple of days have been a lovely start to June but that's about to change. The cut-off system bringing in cool north Atlantic air is exiting the area today and tomorrow and by Sunday the heat of the coming summer will arrive and much of next week will see temps in the 90's with dew points in the low 70's; that's muggy. Get the AC ready, its time is coming.
But, today is lovely, get out and enjoy today on Earth.

March Winds Down


What is Weather?
Simply put, weather refers to the constantly-changing atmospheric conditions in the world around us. Occurring in the troposphere, this is mainly a summarization of current temperature/precipitation patterns, whereas the term climate deals with averaging these recorded conditions in a certain area over an elongated period of time. The causes for weather differentiations include air pressure, temperature and moisture. These vary from location to location due to the sun’s angle on a particular spot, or its latitude.


St. Louis weather
The weather in Saint Louis, missouri for the week is not the best weather. Everyday it will either be very cloudy with showers or a chance of thunderstorms. The humidity in Saint Louis will be from 50% to 80% this week. Their lowest temperature this week will be about 41℉ and the highest temperature will be about 72℉.

Weather...Matthew vs. Camille

Thursday, October 13, 2016

The forecast for today is partly cloudy. It should be mostly sunny, all day. The night will be clear with a Waxing Gibbous lighting up the sky. The high will be 76 degrees. The low will be 47 degrees. There won’t be a lot of wind. It should be fairly warm throughout the day. Today is the warmest day of the week.
In 2015, Louisa County is estimated to have 3.62 inches of rain in October. As of October 12, 2016, Louisa has gotten 2.11 inches of rain. The amount of rainfall that we have gotten may been affected by hurricane Matthew.  This is the 10 day forecast for the week of Oct 16-22nd: Sunday, October 16th, the high is 71F , Monday, 10/17 the high will be 78F, Tuesday, 10/18 the high will be 80F, Wednesday 10/19 the high will be 80F , Thursday 10/20 the high will be 74F , Friday, 10/21 the high will be 72F, and Saturday 10/22 the high will be 68F.
Today, October 13, there is a hurricane in the atlantic ocean on top of Bermuda. The hurricane’s name is Nicole and it is a category 3. The winds of Nicole are expected to reach 125 miles per hour. The storm surge will get up to 6 - 8 feet. The location of hurricane Nicole is at 32.3 N and 64.6 W. The hurricane is moving northeast or 35 degrees at 14 knots which is around 16 miles per hour. The eye of hurricane Nicole was said to be bigger than Bermuda itself. Bermuda may get up to as much as 30 inches of rain today.
Hurricane Matthew was a devastating storm, ripping trees out of the ground and downing power lines in the lower part of the East Coast. Louisa wasn’t hit at all hard compared to the places like Lumber River, North Carolina and Jacksonville, Florida. The total fatality rate from Matthew was 1,027 deaths, and it is presumed  that there will be more bodies found in Haiti, where people are still being found.
Hurricane Camille was third strongest cyclone in 1969. It hit Virginia, dumping 28 inches of rain in only 8 hours. It hit the the entire East Coast, New York recording up to 68 inches of rain. In Virginia, it staked 150 lives and cost millions of dollars in repairs. Flooding slammed Virginia, debris flowing into Nelson county. Camille caused mudslides and major flash floods in  different parts of Nelson county.

Both Camille and Matthew were tragic and devastating, yet Camille was the most catastrophic for our local area.  We had flooding and people who were fatally harmed, as to where in Matthew, we simply had rain. Although Matthew had a higher death total, and more major impact on other states and parts of the word, Camille hit the East Coast in a cataclysmic effect.
