View first unread post Attachment(s) High Wind Warning - Thursday Evening Update
Poster: KennyWeather  •  Forum: Weather Updates February 25th, 2010, 9:11 pm

***HIGH WIND WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL 6:00pm EST TOMORROW***

~Good evening to everyone! A very potent low pressure system is currently intensifying around Long Island and will begin to retrograde (move east to west) this evening and into the early morning hours tomorrow. This low pressure system will become so intense that the pressure gradient will cause VERY strong winds to form across the region. For this reason, the National Weather Service has posted a High Wind Warning effective until 6pm tomorrow evening.

A High Wind Warning is issued when winds are expected to be sustained at 40mph or greater for 3 hours or more AND/OR wind gusts are expected to be 58mph or greater for a 3 hour period or longer.

A few snow showers are also possible this evening but no accumulation is expected except to the north and east where an inch or so could fall NE of Baltimore.

The winds will be the big story and power outages are certainly possible with trees also coming down. Please take action to protect property. Have flashlights available and make plans in case the power does go out. The power companies would like to remind residents to stay away from all downed wires and treat all wires as active.

Stay tuned for regular updates as the situation progresses. The strongest winds should begin after midnight.

~After a long period of server downtime over the last month, Kenny Weather has returned and is here with a somewhat exciting update. Snow chances are on the way, although accumulation is more unsure.

A storm system is now expected to form off the east coast and throw at least some moisture inland. Given that some cold air will be in place, a little bit of snowfall is possible. The 12z model runs are currently running and I will have a full update later this afternoon or as needed.

~Good afternoon to everyone and thanks for clicking on the website for the daily weather update. Except for some clouds around, mostly sunny to partly cloudy conditions appear to be the rule rather than the exception today. Highs in the DC area will be in the middle 80s while the highs in the southern Pennsylvania area (MU) will be in the lower 80s. Very nice day for outdoor activities and recreation.

Meanwhile, the tropics are still churning something in the far east. Invest 94L is still spinning away and producing a good deal of thunderstorm activity. It appears as though the low is not quite closed yet but may become closed soon. The National Hurricane Center has placed the system at a high chance for development within the next 48 hours. Reports from buoys in that area of the Atlantic show pressures as low as 1008mb. This could potentially be a Tropical Depression later on this afternoon or this evening.

The image below is a satellite loop of Invest 94L. The image will change over time (it's dynamic) so this image is time sensitive. ***TIME SENSITIVE IMAGE WARNING***

View first unread post MorningCast + Tropical Update - August 29, 2009
Poster: KennyWeather  •  Forum: Weather Updates August 29th, 2009, 11:37 am

~The heavy rainfall that fell across portions of the Mid-Atlantic region last night has ended leaving only a few areas of light rain and showers. A few of these showers might impact some areas throughout the day but chances will be lower than yesterday. Areas near Manchester, MD reported significant flooding after several inches of rain fell.

Today, temperatures will be cool-ish but not cold. Expect overcast skies with perhaps a few breaks here and there - but anticipate a small chance of some showers or light rainfall. Tonight will be much of the same with little rain chances tomorrow.

Meanwhile, the tropics have a few things to say, read below.

TROPICAL UPDATE:

Once Tropical Storm Danny has been downgraded by the National Hurricane Center to a Tropical Depression. Chances are this will not have much of an impact as Danny has struggled to organize for almost it's entire lifetime. Danny could come near the NE coast but even then, impacts should be limited to a slight breeze and some rainfall. Do not expect anything extremely significant.

Here's a satellite image of Danny. Please note that because this image is dynamic, it will update over time and may eventually be out of date. ***TIME SENSITIVE IMAGE***

Also in the Atlantic is Invest 94L. The system doesn't look all that organized but still has the potential for slow development. The National Hurricane Center places the potential for development at a moderate chance. This system may be shunted far enough south to remain in the Caribbean. Future development of this system will determine where it goes. Stay tuned.

Here's a satellite image of Invest 94L from this morning. Again, please note that this image is dynamic and will update over time. Therefore, if one views the image this morning, it will be different this afternoon. ***CAUTION TIME SENSITIVE IMAGE***

Have a great day, and please continue to support Kenny Weather.
