GFS brings the front through around noon Wednesday with temps falling steadily afterward. Precip ends with the frontal passage (no post-frontal disturbance moving by). Relatively light freezes Thu/Fri (upper 20s) followed by a steady warm-up that could get our temps into the 80 degree range by Vale...

Don't know if this feature from NWS has been posted, but it's a fun look at snowfall potential.

After record flooding over the last month, NE Australia is now bracing for one of the strongest cyclones to ever hit Australia. http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Asia-Pacific/2011/0201/Cyclone-Yasi-roars-toward-Australia-s-waterlogged-Queensland http://viewnews.com.au/bm/news/state-news/tropical-cyclon...

Andrew, there's no reason to believe it would just lose something as significant as this. Interesting thought: The highest pressure ever observed in the USA was 1064 mb set at Miles City, MT on 12/24/1983. Currently, the GFS has a 1066 and the Euro has a 1070 mb :shock: . If those pressures verifie...

The west coast is getting pounded with unbelievable amounts of rain/snow, with more to come over the next couple of days.

Will be curious to see how this plays out, and effects the UT vs A&M game next Thursday at 7pm.

Could be a nasty night for football, yes?

Did a warm front move up through Central Texas in the middle of the night? There was no wind shift.

Temps went UP from 59 degrees at 11pm to 68 degrees after midnight? Was 71 at sunrise. Seems like an odd temp change.

Tomas is not messing around. Looks like a CDO is forming.

If Tomas traverses the northern half of the Caribbean, I would not be surprised if he becomes the strongest November hurricane on record.

H. Minimum Sea Level Pressure: 998mb (29.47 inHg) - Extrapolated

I believe TD 19 has formed. Will likely be Richard by tomorrow.

That is a monster of a storm. What's the worldwide record for sustained winds? Is it 190mph?

This storm is flirting with that record.

Arizona is getting hammered today with hail and tornadoes from a low pressure system. Where's that energy headed?

I find these maps disturbing and concerning. There's a broad swath of untapped ocean heat sweeping through the Caribbean leading up to the Texas coast. Hopefully, we can make it through this season without any storms taking this track. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:2010_Atlantic_hurricane_season...

It just dawned on me that if Igor passes just west of Bermuda that island could be devastated. In that scenario, they will experience gale force winds for about 24 hours and hurricane force winds for an ADDITIONAL 12 to 16 hours. I'm basing this on current forward motion of 13 mph and a gale force w...

If Igor doesn't experience any strong negative factors over the next 24 to 48hrs, he might make a run at the largest hurricane on record (by gale diameter). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Atlantic_hurricane_records#Largest_in_diameter UPDATED: Igor has gone from #10 to #3 largest Atlantic stor...

Igor is definitely going to boost up the ACE numbers for this season by the time he's done making his rounds of the Atlantic.

After Katrina crossed FL and starting to strengthen over the SE Gulf I started getting a sick feeling in my gut.

Not there yet with Earl, but that might change by tomorrow morning.

Amazing looking storm.

very impressive blob behind Fiona, but there's nothing on the NHC website indicating that region has any potential for development.

Sorry to hear about this. Good luck with your battle, Dan. f cancer.
