Part 1: Severe Weather...
Part 2: Tropics... becoming active
Intro:
Well there is a possibility that this will be my last weather blog update until the end of the summer or early fall since i do go to 7 weeks of sleep away camp... so enjoy...!
Part 1:
Well the severe weather is going to be extremely active across the northeast... during the severe weather season I only issue a level 4 two or three times maximum and today may be one of those days... for now though the area will remain at a high level 3, but that can quickly change... Here's today's map...
Level 1: Dark clouds, Downpours, Thunder, Breezy
Level 2: Dark clouds, Heavy downpours, Lightning and Thunder (some ground lightning), Winds between 30-50 mph, Penny- Quarter sized hail
Level 3: Dark clouds, Drenching downpours, Ground lightning, Winds between 40-70 mph, Isolated Tornadoes, Pin pong ball- tennis ball size Hail
Level 4: Pitch Black clouds, Blinding rains, Ground Lightning, Hurricane force winds, Tornadoes likely, Baseball- Softball+ size Hail, Severe Weather Outbreak!
Part 2:
The tropics are really starting to get active now... Right now we're focused on an area in the southern Caribbean just south of the islands like Cuba and Haiti... As of now this area is just a bunch of very active thunderstorms... why are we concerned then? well it is in a very Good environment for development... heading into an area of low shear and warm waters, the chances of the system developing are becoming higher... Also current computer models not only show this storm developing but also show it heading into the feared oil spill area... stay hear for more on this story...
