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
