Weather Forecast:
Part 1: Oil Spill (must see)
Part 2: First severe weather of the season for some...
Part 3: Warm air tries to take a break but can't... When will it end?
Part 1:
For those of you who do not know me very well, I am definitely not a person who looks at the good sides of situations... In fact, often times a look at the worst possible senereo's of situations, and this is one of those situations... It is very hard to find a good side, or a good affect, of this Oil Spill, which has become, in my opinion, a world wide issue, or will become... You also have to think, how is this going to affect the weather... Well, no real articles that I know of have really talked about the oil spills affect on the weather; rather they have been talking about the weathers affect on the oil spill! Just want to briefly touch up on the weathers affect on this oil spill, and its not complicated... If there is bad weather, for example thunderstorms, its going to delay the efforts to try to fix this problem over the gulf... Not hard to understand... But what is more comlicated, is the Oils affect on the Weather... To understand this we need to go way back to the water cycle... It starts out with evaporation, then condensation, and lastly precipitation... So what happens when Oil is in the water? Well when it comes time for evaporation to take place, and there's oil in the water, its pretty clear to see what is probably going to happen next... Now this of course is again, a worse case scenario... So, oil in the water gets evaporated, then gets condensed... And finally, the worst part, is the oil gets precipitated!!!! I would think that this oil could travel miles and miles over land, and over seas, and over cities, and into forests and etc., etc., etc... There is a list of probably over 100 problems that could take place because of this... Now, i guess we're lucky that although this is a lot of oil to be in water, the oil is in a generally together section of the Gulf... But oil is continuing to leak... So what happens next? Well its hard to tell... I really wish some of the experts would check out this hypothesis and test if its possible... Now, these thunderstorms developing in the gulf are moving north toward the Northeast... Maybe tomorrow if it rains, i will try to collect some of the rain water and measure to see if there is any oil in the water... It will be hard to do, but i may as well try!!!!
Part 2:
Just because it is getting late i am going to make this as quick as possible... Severe weather producing tornado's and damaging storms across southern sections is now heading north pretty quickly... In fact, some of the storms should be here by later tonight and into mid-morning tomorrow... Although it is not likely these storms will still be producing tornado's, small hail and damaging winds are possible along with maybe, just maybe some isolated tornado's... We'll have to see, but the worst of it for the Northeast will probably be sometime after midnight tonight, and into around 8 or 9 am tomorrow morning... The best chance of having these severe storms will probably be across the western half of Virginia, Central PA, Southeastern NY, Northern NJ, CT, and into parts of MA... So look out for those storms mainly while we're all asleep, but still possible in the morning, with clearing during the afternoon...
Part 3:
Today lots of 80's and even 90's were popping up all over the map!!!! Tomorrow a cold front will work its way through, but will barely do anything!!! Temperatures will only drop maybe 5 to at the most 10 degrees... But it will actually be a good thing, because temperatures will be comfortable in the mid 70's!!! then a warm front comes through once again for Thursday with temps maybe even higher then today!!!! But that's where it looks to come to an end, because by time the weekend comes around, temps will be back to the mid 60's...
