Hurricane. Earthquake. Tomorrow: Locusts. Hurricane Irene is 860 miles southeast of Hilton Head tip toeing through the Bahamas. Irene is on a a northwesterly course at a leisurely 8-10 mph. Irene is 100 mph hurricane and is showing signs of further intensification, cooling cloud tops and all the usual suspects. Irene has developed a very impressive [...]

See what a little low shear and 86 degree water can do. Hurricane Irene is now a mean 100-110 mph hurricane, (Category 2 for Safir-Simpson fans). Irene is 1025 miles southeast of Hilton Head on a west northwest course at 12 mph (295/10). In addition to intensification, Irene’s size has increased to 350 miles in [...]

Emily is south of Haiti this morning 1185 miles southeast of Charleston tracking west-northwest at 5-8 mph. Max winds are a generous 50 mph as estimated by the recon aircraft (Estimated in the dark AND in a tropical storm, discuss amongst yourselves…).

A strong, burly cold front currently stretching from Ohio to Louisiana is rumbling east and will be an overnight-early morning visitor to the State after 8 PM tonight. The front should be over the Midlands at 8 AM (morning commute, charming, lovely, swell…) and moving off the coast by 1 PM Tuesday. This front has [...]

Fort Dix. 5th week in basic training. First KP. First 0300 wake up. Barry Manilow’s Copacabana blaring in the mess hall. Oh the humanity… . Err, sorry. I digress. Weather. Right. Weak low pressure in the GoMex should chuck (technical term) enough moisture our way for a wimpy snow event late tonight. Unlike previous snowy [...]

Another morning of poor sledding Thursday. Another weak low pressure area develops along the Gulf Coast and drifts east. Not much upper support for this feature keeping it weak and wimpy. GoMex moisture therefore will be sparse to dusty. With only a small window of near freezing surface temperatures, expect snow flurries late Wednesday night [...]

A developing surface low pressure in the central GoMex will turn on the faucet for a lengthy rainfall event starting… er, now. For most of the State this means rain, at times heavy (two-by-two rain…), tonight and all day Friday. Rain clears out before lunch Saturday. The Upstate Quixotic wrinkle in this forecast is that [...]

Snow? Nope. Rumor Control published some nasty “snow-pocalypse” forecasts for Tuesday this weekend. They would be incorrect. An area of low pressure does form off the coast of Texas and tracks east. This feature trundles along the Gulf Coast as high pressure moseys into the Atlantic. This setup does two things: shut down the supply [...]

Today, but apparently not Monday. A quick word about tonight: A fast moving slug of Canadian air roars north of the State tonight that will trigger flurries after sunset over the Upstate and northern Midlands over to the Pee Dee. No accumulation or luge events expected. Late Sunday, an area of low pressure develops off [...]
