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

hurricanes

  Ingrid becomes  the second hurricane of the season  so far 10 name storms 2 hurricanes no major hurricanes don't  know if we will get any major hurricanes if we don't  it would be a very unuseal year end hurricane season ingrid is headed for mexico  they are getting heavy rains from hurricane ingrid and tropical storm Manuel in the eastern pacfic so it would cause dangerous flash flooding like in Colorado where the monsoon is in full swing  some areas have had over a foot of rain and roads are washed out in colorado  just be glad its not here it would be a  disaster.

Nice weather

 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.

September

 we are now into September by 2 says and its labor day the unoffical end of summer season  its going to be warm but not as warm as it has been  with highs in the 80's and highs later on in the week in the upper 70's to around 80  thats cool compaired to the summer looks like we will get a taste of fall  with some what cooler temperatures  we just have to get through Today with clouds and showers and thunder storms  possible other wise it will be a good day to get out and grill and enjoy the last grilling day of the summer season.

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
