Severe weather

There is a Slight risk for the  Mid-Atlantic area the main threat is  high winds however check on your friends  in the great Lakes reagon from chicago on to cleaveland  the risks are higher for strong tornadoes and i will continue to monitor it  will give the chase teams briefings soon just in case but its not likely  because the air is cool south east winds  a marine airlayer and well its cooler and more stable so we may get more rain than thunderstorms so chances are its not goinig to happen  but want to be  cautious just in case the ECSPC is monitoring the area  for a possible severe weather watch but chances are maybe 40% a watch will be issued.

Office Reopend and i more thing added to this office

The shut down is over and the office has  Re Opened and all fuctions are back to normal back pay has been given to all Government Employees fourloughed.  and the thing that has been added is The NOAA(NWS)/NASA Climate Research branch  and along with  the National Crimininal Investigative Service HQ  we have become the government complex  in this area. and just thought you should all know how ever the forecast for the 1st snow of the season is not looking to good for anything signifigant but anyway its to early in the season. some models are calling or 1 to 3 inches at most 2 inches from the storm its passing to far off shore to give us the real heavy snow so  we may see 1 to 3 or the old DC Split snow to the north snow to the south and no snow for us.



 The hurricane season is going to go down in  the record books as having only one major hurricane and that was in the pasfic none in the atlantic  that where major and only two hurricanes  in the atlantic all thanks to the saharan dust that sqashed development  its a la-Nina nutral and El-Nino nutral year the NAO or North Atlantic Ossilation has been more a Negtive tilt when it goes Positive Tilt then maybe we will see something in the way of storms and hurricanes we have had 3 to 4 storms make landfall in the united states all tropical storms no hurricanes we have been lucky we shouldn't let our guard down because of this.

So you know something about me  I am a Climate Researcher and a Storm Chaser and Research Meteorologist and a regular meteorologist  with my Doctorate in Meteorology  so i am Dr James Milller and well i thought i would say something about me and i am also a Retired NASA Astronaut  flew 15 shuttle missions logged about 5,000+ hrs in space and traveled over 15,000,000+ miles and spent about 150+ days  in space  I used my Research Meteorologist  calling to design and fly The Earth Meteorological Experiment (E.M.E.)  and it flew several things that are now used on conventional Radar and satalites now  and Experiments on  satalites as well since the shuttle is retired.

I wanted to post something about the weather and about me  as well

offices in this complex closed

The following offices have been closed because they have been deemed Redudent  due to the government Shutdown 

01. The AHC ( Atlantic Hurricane Center)

02. The ECSPC (East Coast Storms Prediction Center)

03. The EPHC  (East Pacfic Hurricane Center ) 

04. The AOC ( Air Operations Command) Office Rockville Airport and the planes Grounded.  

the NWSFO Olney has been drasticly cut back but is still operating  those 3  have been deemed redundent and all their workers put on Ferlough. NWS Olney Forecast office may close if this goes on it may be deemed redudent and closed and the staff transfered to NWSFO Sterling VA 

Nantional Weather Service message.

Forecasters of National Weather Service Forecast Office Olney   and other departments there in.

 The National Weather Service is still operateing durring the government shutdown  the NWS is one of the few agencies that have to stay open since We are mission critical and we protect lives and poperties  through out the country however Non esental personell are asked not to come in so no one is maning the front desk or the phones  and our interns have been suspended till the shutdown ends no new interns will be accepted till this ends..

The other offices are open too to essental employees  to report to work  please report to work  durring this i know its hard on all of you its hard on me too but i am going to work durring all this and lets do our jobs and make peoples lives better and keep them safe  our colligues in law enforcement and  Avation  are also reporting  to work so lets not let the ball drop on our end.  how ever the NOAA web site will be down durring the shutdown the NWS websites will be up  since again we are mission ciritical.

thanks

 Its currently at Olney/Rockville Airport 71 degrees with sunny  skies and a humidity of 69% and a dew point of  43 degrees and winds  north east at 15 mph gusts  pressure of 30.26 inches of mercury enjoy the day its going to get warmer in the low to mid 80s on saturday and midd 80s on sunday and warmer still next  week enjoy the weekend.

New tropical Acvitity

 There are some systems in the atLantic that the Atlantic Hurricane Center is monitoring  for potential development  there is a tropical low that has has a medium 40% chance in the next 48 hrs of  developing and a high chance 60% over the next 5 days  the Pacfic Hurricane Center is Monitoring a low of the western coast of mexico that has a high 80% chance and could become the next tropical depression  otherwise weather the rest of the week is going to look super highs on friday in the mid to upper 70's and highs the weekend in the lower 80's  with Low humdity  enjoy the weekend  and the cool weather.

tropical actvity

The Atlantic  Hurricane Center is  monitoring two potental areas for tropical cyclone development one in the carribbian   moveing North West toward the yuccan peninsula  and another one coming of affrica and its not expected to survive through the SAL or Saharan Air Layer  unless it does what Tropical storm Dorian did and get moisture feed from the ITCZ and that way it can survive as it crosses stable air  the one in the carribbian bares watching for the gulf coast  any more orginization  and advisories would have to be ineated by the Atlantic Hurricane Center. stay tuned to www.nws.noaa.gov  for uppdates

Very Nice weather

HEY A Touch of Fall is here with Low humidity and temperatures in the 70's  it will be warming up to the 80's  but still well bleow average for this time of  year highs are average in the upper 80's and by next week highs should return to the 80's but still low humidity  a taste of fall is here then middle of next week another cold front comes through and drops the temperature again back to the 70's for highs and some upper 50's for lows in the evening and night time hours.

New Satalite Launch

Nasa Is going to Launch a New Weather Satalite its called NOAA 30 NWS 1 also called GOOSE A. GOOSE Geostationary Operational Observeing Satalite Enviromental  Its to accopany the GOES R Launches in 2015 but it will sereve as a interrim till GOES R is operational and in orbit  then it be comes the property of The New  National Weather Service  Satalite  Services Division  Located in North Western Montgomery County  Maryland  its NWSSD National Weather Service's Satalite Devision  and they will take full control of  GOES R and others with the NSDIS in camp springs maryland  there  there are 3 satalite's  GOOSE East  GOOSE Central And GOOSE West  each area overlaps one another so composit images can be compliled.  GOOSE A will launch in later 2013 from Cape Canveral Airforce station on the DELTA V rocket.

 I will post a fact sheet as soon as i can of the GOOSE A satalite


Picture 

Project A.T.H.E.N.A update

The tropics are shifting from a Minus ( dry and dusty and unfavorable winds upper levels of atmosphere  )  catagory dry air and dusty to more  Nutural ( more favorable winds upper levels and more moisture in the atmosphere) meaning more conducive for tropical cyclone formation  and 2 impulses of Energy coming across from the pacfic and that could spawn some showers and storms along the intertropical convergance ITCZ  for all those that are hurricane chasers this means increased acvitity and more storms as they come off africa and make their way across the atlantic they wont get their heads torn off by winds unfavorable to development. so will keep you posted on it. hurricane chasers  be ready for action and those of WASC who are intersted should let your respective   chase leaders know your intersted in chaseing for Project  ATHENA and they will tell you how to get involved with them.

ATHENA = Atmosphere Tornado and Hurricane Experiment of the North Atlantic

   It studies all aspect of weather in the  Atlantic ocean and on the east coast of the United States from winter Storms to Hurricanes and other events like tornadoes and severe thunderstorms its in conjunction with the Storms Prediction Center in Norman Oklahoma and the National Hurricane Center in Miami Fla  along with Weather Forecast Offices up and down the East Coast of the United States from Maine to Key West FL Project ATHENA allowed for the establishment  of the Atlantic Hurricane Center or AHC in Olney and the Atlantic Storms Prediction Center or ASPC  Also in Olney  and the East Pacfic Hurricane Center or EPHC again in Olney  and their Jurisdictions are redfined and for the same area in the eastern pacfic the NHC joins the EPHC in forecasting storms for that area. the AHC joins the NHC in forecasting for the Atlantic. The Atlantic Hurricane Center has a Foward Deployed aircraft To San Juan  Puerto Rico  to extend the range to 45 Degrees  West  longitude.

 that is increased lead time for hurricanes that the  nhc can only see on satlite and Estimate winds and pressure.

Storms

 There are showers and storms in the area  Doppler radar shows storms up in federick county moveing east to north east at about 10 to 15 mph and could produce winds of 40 to 50 mph not high enough to be classisified as severe  so no severe thunderstorm warning issued for them.

 storm moveing into Montgomery  County Maryland and it looks to be weakening as it goes so maybe some light rain for the areas east of Interstate 270  they are Rockville, Olney, Fulton, Scaggsville, Derwood  and Wheaton. its not very big  so not all areas mentioned will see rain and it looks like  its weekening.

Weather Radio Station is WXA-99  broadcasting  on 162.5575 MHZ


Skywarn not antsipated to be activated today for these storms.
