This is another tool recently developed here at The Weather Centre. We here at The Weather Centre want to put out forecasts that best interest you and your safety. I did put a ‘Not Very Good’ chance for the 3-6 inch range (you may have to adjust it west a tad, or clip off the southern edge of the yellow zone). I did not put likely in there without loss of visuals of the counties. There are many things that YOU can do if you want to fly safer: Get better training. The longer you wait, the worse the financial problems will get. If you always wanted to have your own line of branded car care products, but you did not know who to talk to, what products you needed or how to get the whole thing done. So many other nations understand this and have committed the necessary financial resources to secure bigger computers for their weather services. Enhanced computers is absolutely core infrastructure for the U.S.

There is a great deal of money in the Hurricane Sandy relief bill for improving hurricane and storm prediction or storm-related infrastructure (over 100 million dollars). There is nothing that would more effectively improve hurricane prediction than dealing with the computer gap. Consider that NOAA is planning on spending 44 million to replace the wings on two hurricane hunter aircraft: the same money would revolutionize and greatly improve U.S. You can also use a formula I made a year or two ago for snow day potential by clicking here. Moving onto durability, while it is important to opt for day and night blinds from a reputable vendor to ensure the window furnishing is of the highest quality, generally, blinds are more durable and long-lasting than curtains! The perfect windsock should be visible from a good distance under aviation guidelines and some are fitted with arrangement of lights for night vision as well. And even if you are worried about climate change, the number one thing one needs to encourage resilience in a changing climate is to have good weather prediction! I am confident in a good 3-6 inch accumulation in the darker blue, and a 6-12 inch plus snowfall over southern Wisconsin, much of Iowa, extreme northwest Missouri, extreme southeast Nebraska and northeast Kansas.

Snowfall is expected to be heavy, and, combined with winds, will make travel dangerous (see Impact Scale below). Low accumulation spots on the order of 1-3 inches then includes the Moderate Impact spot, where some people could see slippery roads and slightly hazardous travel weather. My forecast for this system involves a Low Impact forecast for much of the region that will see some precipitation that is not wintry from this system. This is the tricky part, because this involves the areas right along the rain-snow line, something that troubles may forecasters and such rain-snow line forecasts are prone to ‘busting’, or failing. Again, such a strengthening storm and the tricky rain snow line makes forecasts difficult to confirm. Amounts will increase as you move northeast through this forecast in response to the storm strengthening. As the storm strengthens, it will wrap in air through its southern flank in response to very humid air (the precipitation) wrapping around its northern side. The maximum temperature is read from the side of the metal index nearest to the mercury.

Under existing pledges, the world is on course for the kind of temperature rises that could threaten the stability of industrial societies and lay waste to swathes of the developing world in the second half of the century, scientists say. Wherever the low pressure system travels, dry slotting could cut down precipitation of any kind. I marked down generally low probabilities for much of the impacted region simply because of the lack of significant snow. A strong upper level low looks to drop south to scrape northern Japan in the next week. The presence of a negative NAO tells me the subtropical jet stream previously mentioned above will be enhanced, thus adding to the severe weather threat in the South US. These areas will have a tougher time getting any precipitation, as dry slotting issues may occur. Flights will have issues, and driving will be a ‘challenge’. The two-pronged system mentioned in the last post will wreck some serious havoc as it passes into the southern plains.
