SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENTS by the National Weather Service in Upton, New York on July 6, 2010

A HEAT ADVISORY remains in effect until 7:00 PM Eastern Standard Time on Wednesday night.

The combination of temperatures around 100° and gradually increasing humidity levels will produce heat index values of 100° to 104° this afternoon. High temperatures Wednesday afternoon are expected to reach in the mid to upper 90s with heat index values of 95° to 99° degrees. Overnight lows will be in the lower 80s tonight.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A heat advisory is issued for New York City when high humidity is expected to combine with hot temperatures to make it feel like it is at least 95° for two consecutive days or 100° for any length of time. Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun and check up on relatives and neighbors.

New York City residents should call 3-1-1 to identify cooling center locations and to obtain beat the heat safety tips.

AN AIR QUALITY ALERT remains in effect through 10:00 PM Eastern Standard Time tonight.

Air quality levels in outdoor air are predicted to be greater than an air quality index value of 100 for the pollutant of ground level ozone. The air quality index (or AQI) was created as an easy way to correlate levels of different pollutants to one scale. The higher the AQI value, the greater the health concern.

When pollution levels are elevated, the New York State Department of Health recommends that individuals consider limiting strenuous outdoor physical activity to reduce the risk of adverse health effects. People who may be especially sensitive to the effects of elevated levels of pollutants include the very young and those with pre-existing respiratory problems such as asthma or heart disease. Those with symptoms should consider consulting their personal physician.

A toll free air quality hotline has been established so New York residents can stay informed on the air quality situation. The toll free number is: 1-800-535-1345.

Your Local Weather / Re: South Florida Weather

« on: January 10, 2010, 04:55:15 AM »

Extraordinary weather has been underway in the South Florida region this weekend. If you thought it was cold when you woke up on Wednesday morning, then you are experiencing even colder conditions during this overnight period. On Saturday afternoon, Miami recorded a high temperature of only 44°, a whopping 32° below the normal 76° for January 9th. The tri-county area will have readings coming close to record territory before sunrise.

The entire Sunshine State has seen very unseasonably cold conditions with temperatures only in the teens on the far northern end of Florida while much of the rest of state is raw and damp. It is not exactly the kind of weather you would expect here even for January.

The National Weather Service along with Miami television stations WFOR-TV and WPLG-TV each reported that for the first time since January 19, 1977, frozen precipitation (mainly snow) was seen falling in the South Florida area, specifically in Oakland Park (north of Fort Lauderdale) and Kendall (southwest of Miami). Former WCBS-TV on-camera meteorologist Jeff Berardelli of WPLG explained that this occurance rarely happens. He said this might happen once or twice a century there.

For those that live for historic weather events in the most unusual places, then this one was for you. But it won't last long as an expected warming trend will bring temperatures back to seasonal levels with highs near 80° by the end of this week.

For more coverage of the unseasonably cold weather, here are five hyperlinks to check out.

SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENTS by the National Weather Service in Miami on January 9, 2010

A FREEZE WARNING remains in effect until 10:00 AM Eastern Standard Time on Sunday morning.
A FREEZE WATCH is in effect from late Sunday night through Monday morning.

The National Weather Service in Miami has issued a Freeze Watch which is in effect from late Sunday night through Monday morning. A Freeze Warning remains in effect until 10:00 AM Eastern Standard Time on Sunday.

Very cold air will continue to move into South Florida overnight. Temperatures are expected to fall into the lower 30s across the area with some locales, mainly west of US 1 in Miami-Dade County to hit or go below the freezing mark.

In addition, a Freeze Watch is in effect for the area Sunday night through Monday morning with freezing temps again possible.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Freeze Warning means sub-freezing temperatures are imminent or highly likely.
These conditions will kill crops and other sensitive vegetation.

A Freeze Watch means sub-freezing temperatures are possible.
These conditions could kill crops and other sensitive vegetation.

A WIND CHILL WARNING remains in effect through 11:00 AM Eastern Standard Time on Sunday morning.

The National Weather Service in Miami has issued a Wind Chill Warning which is in effect from 9:00 PM this evening to 11:00 AM Eastern Standard Time on Sunday. The Wind Chill Watch is no longer in effect.

Temperatures are expected to fall into the lower to mid 30s across the area. Northwest winds will remain up overnight and could even increase after midnight with sustained winds of 15 to 20 MPH expected along the coast overnight to 10 to 15 MPH inland. This will lead to wind chill readings in the 30s this evening and falling into the 20s overnight. These are extremely low wind chills for South Florida and can be dangerous if precautions are not taken.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A wind chill warning means dangerously low wind chill values of 25° or colder are expected. Appropriate action should be taken to ensure outdoor pets have adequate protection from the cold temperatures. The elderly and the homeless are especially vulnerable to the cold. If precautions are not taken, this may result in hypothermia if you remain in these conditions for an extended duration.

Your Local Weather / Re: Phoenix Weather

« on: July 12, 2009, 07:25:10 PM »

The National Weather Service's Phoenix forecast office posted this weather page due to the extreme heat, even for Arizona standards. Here is what the National Weather Service has issued:

SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT by the National Weather Service in Phoenix on July 12, 2009
AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING is in effect until 8:00 PM Mountain Standard Time.

Strong high pressure aloft centered over northern Texas will continue to produce excessive heat across the area. Temperatures overnight will offer little relief, only bottoming out in upper 80s and possibly near 90° at Sky Harbor Airport. Afternoon high temperatures Sunday are again expected to reach 110° to 114° across the lower deserts, including Yuma and the greater Phoenix area.

The heat is expected to persist into early next week and the Excessive Heat Warning has been extended through Monday evening.

Precautionary/preparedness actions…

It would be wise to complete as much outdoor activity as possible in the early morning when the sun and heat are less intense. During periods of excessive heat, individuals can suffer heat-related illness when the body can no longer cool itself.

If you plan to be outside for an extended period of time in the afternoon or early evening, stay in the shade as much as possible and drink abundant amounts of water. Wear light-colored and loose-fitting clothing. If you wear a wide-brimmed hat, your head and body will be much cooler. Stop outdoor activities, drink lots of water or other non-alcoholic beverages and if possible, spend more time in air-conditioned or well-ventilated places.

Your Local Weather / Re: Dallas-Fort Worth weather

« on: July 12, 2009, 05:45:14 PM »

Today marks the 13th day this year that the temperature as reached 100° or higher at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and it's likely not going to be the last. It is already above the century mark during the mid-afternoon hours.

SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT by the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, Texas on July 12, 2009
A HEAT ADVISORY is in effect until 7:00 PM Central Standard Time.

The Heat Advisory area covers that part of North Texas along and northeast of a Newcastle-Cleburne-Palestine line. Afternoon heat index values are expected to peak between 105° to 108° on Monday. Nighttime temperatures in the upper 70s and lower 80s will provide little relief for the heat.

Precautionary/preparedness actions…

Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances. This is especially true during hot weather when the inside of vehicles can reach lethal temperatures in a matter of minutes, despite cracking windows or previously having used air conditioning.

Persons involved in vigorous outdoor activities are urged to take frequent breaks and drink plenty of water. Wear loose fitting and light colored clothing. Be sure to check on persons with health problems and the elderly as they are the most susceptible to heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

THE WEATHER OBSERVATIONS POSTED BELOW AREN'T CURRENT.
THEY ARE FROM 3 HOURS AGO.

After severe weather ravaged the southeastern United States, moderate to heavy rain has spread into the northeastern portion of the country today. Some heavy thunderstorms are pushing through the Lower Delaware Valley as we speak. The worst of the inclement weather is moving into Philadelphia from southwest to northeast with just overcast skies in the northern suburbs to rain on the south side of the metropolitan area.

There are no severe weather watches or warnings at this time, but expect a brief downpour with some wind gusts as this line of storms moves through. The weather conditions is expected to gradually improve with a nice day on tap for tomorrow with high temperatures around 60°.

Here is what the weather conditions were at 12:00 PM Eastern Standard Time today.

SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT by the National Weather Service in Upton, New York on March 2, 2009
A WINTER STORM WARNING is in effect until 6:00 PM Eastern Standard Time.

Bands of moderate to occasionally heavy snow will move back into the New York City metropolitan area and the lower Hudson Valley this morning. After a brief lull, this snow will also return to eastern Long Island and southern Connecticut by late morning.

Additional snowfall of 2 to 4 inches is expected today. This will bring total accumulations up to 6 to 12 inches in Orange and western Passaic counties, 8 to 12 inches in the New York City metropolitan area, 9 to 13 inches in southern Connecticut and 10 to 15 inches across central and eastern Long Island.

North winds sustained at 15 to 25 MPH and gusting to 30 to 40 MPH will cause blowing and drifting snow with visibilities of less than ¼ mile at times and near blizzard conditions.

A Winter Storm Warning for heavy snow means significant amounts of snow are expected or occurring. Strong winds are also possible. This will make travel very hazardous or impossible.

Stay tuned to NOAA all hazards weather radio or visit our web site at weather.Gov/NYC for further details and updates.

THE WEATHER OBSERVATIONS POSTED BELOW AREN'T CURRENT.
THEY ARE FROM THE OVERNIGHT HOURS OF THIS MORNING.

By far, this is the coldest overnight period of the season in the New York City metropolitan area and parts of the northeastern United States. The same Arctic air mass that has brought dangerous subzero temperatures and wind chill readings to the Upper Midwest part of the country as well as the Canadian Prairies region as overtaken here. The air is modified by comparison, but it is still bitterly cold.

Temperatures range from the low to mid teens in the urban areas to the single digits in the suburbs. A few spots are even below zero at this hour. Light snow is falling on the east end of Long Island while most locations are reporting clear to partly cloudy skies.

Temperatures will rebound over the weekend into the 20s after later today will only top out in the teens.

SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT by the National Weather Service in Upton, New York on January 15, 2009

Wind chills below zero in New York City from tonight through Saturday morning...

The combination of air temperatures falling through the teens this evening and into the single digits after midnight, plus northwest winds 5 to 10 MPH will produce wind chills of 0° to -5° beginning late this evening. Temperatures will only rise into the mid teens during the day on Friday, but with a west wind increasing to around 15 MPH wind chills should remain below zero into early Friday afternoon.

Wind chills may barely rise above zero late Friday afternoon as winds start to diminish, but should drop to 0° to -5° again
from Friday night into Saturday morning as temperatures again drop into the single digits.

Be sure to dress appropriately for the bitter cold. Wear loose lightweight warm clothing in several layers and always wear a hat and gloves. Up to half of your body heat can be lost through an uncovered head..


The graphics pages will be done as soon as possible.

THE WEATHER OBSERVATIONS POSTED BELOW AREN'T CURRENT.
THEY ARE FROM THE OVERNIGHT HOURS OF THIS MORNING.

Another frigid night for residents of the Twin Cities metropolitan area has kept many indoors during this overnight period. Subzero temperatures and in some areas the wind chill readings make it dangerous to be outside. The wind chill readings are not quite as bad as it is in the northern part of Minnesota and the Canadian Prairies, but it is still bad.

A Wind Chill Warning remains in effect until the noon hour later today.

SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT by the National Weather Service in Chanhassen, Minnesota on January 15, 2009
A WIND CHILL WARNING is in effect through 12:00 PM Central Standard Time on Friday.

Extremely cold Arctic air coupled with wind speeds around 5 MPH will drop wind chill readings down to a range of -35° to -50° late tonight. Therefore the wind chill warning continues for much of the region.

A wind chill warning means the combination of very cold air and winds will create dangerously cold wind chill values. This will result in frost bite and lead to hypothermia or death if precautions are not taken. When venturing outdoors, make sure that you dress in layers and wear a hat and gloves.


The graphics pages will be done as soon as possible.

A WIND CHILL WARNING is in effect through 12:00 PM Central Standard Time on Friday.

A wind chill warning remains in effect until 12:00 PM Central Standard Time on Friday.

Bitterly cold Arctic air coupled with northwest winds near 10 MPH will produce wind chill readings from -35° to -45° overnight and Thursday morning.

Some improvement in the wind chill values will occur Thursday afternoon as winds diminish some and temperatures rise, but wind chill readings across the region will still be near -25°.

Wind chill readings will drop back down to -30° to -40° across the area Thursday night into Friday morning as a
persistent northwest wind continues.

A wind chill warning means the combination of very cold air and winds will create dangerously cold wind chill values. This will result in frost bite and lead to hypothermia or death if precautions are not taken. When venturing outdoors, make sure that you dress in layers and wear a hat and gloves.

THE WEATHER OBSERVATIONS POSTED BELOW AREN'T CURRENT.
THEY ARE FROM THE EARLY OVERNIGHT HOURS OF THIS MORNING.

If you want to go to where the heart of the Arctic air mass is, drive about 7 hours northwest of Minneapolis across the Canadian border to Winnipeg. Here, you will find weather you do not want to be caught dead in. Actual temperatures are at least -20° to -30° with life threatening wind chill readings.

During the last hour, James Armstrong Richardson International Airport on the west side of Winnipeg reported a temperature of -34° Fahrenheit with a wind chill reading of -60° Fahrenheit. Truly incredible stuff.

Environment Canada has issued a Wind Chill Warning for Manitoba, including the Winnipeg metropolitan area.
Anyone leaving exposed skin to the dangerous frigid temperatures risks life-threatening consequences as a result.

OFFICIAL WEATHER WARNING by Environment Canada on January 13, 2009 at 9:41 PM Central Time
A WIND CHILL WARNING is in effect through Wednesday night.

Extreme wind chills -40°C (-38°F) to -45°C (-47°F) tonight and Wednesday.

This is a warning that extreme wind chill conditions are imminent or occurring in these regions.
Monitor weather conditions. Listen for updated statements.

Temperatures near -30°C (-20°F) or colder combined with northwest winds of 15 to 20 km/h (9 to 12 MPH) will produce wind chills of -40°C (-38°F) to -45°C (-47°F) over all southern and central Manitoba tonight and Wednesday. Extreme caution is advised. Under these conditions exposed skin may freeze in as little as 5 minutes.

PLEASE NOTE:
I plan to put together the graphics pages for this report as soon as possible. Due to running out of time between weather updates from National Weather Service reporting sites, I have used the Upper Midwest/Southern Canada regional map for this report instead of for the Twin Cities.
