Did you think spring was cool? Think again… Several sites like Houston & Raleigh had their warmest spring on record (March, April, May), several more had their top 5 warmest. None had coolest or top 5 coolest. These are based on sites with at least 70 years of data (most have more than a century).

Los Angeles had more rain than they’ve had in ~9 months. Next few hours critical for burn scars (#hughesfire) Above 3000 ft snow making mountain passes (I-5, I-15) unsafe. If Phoenix does not get measurable rain , could break all-time longest stretch without,(160 days, 1972).

Alberta clipper coming Wednesday into early Thursday from Great Lakes to northeast. Windy! Gusts 30-50 mph. Snow/rain right at the coast but additional snow w/more lake effect late week! Called that because it forms near Alberta and like a clipper ship- moves fast.

We don’t just make stuff up. Bomb cyclone is a real meteorological term. Social media definitely made people more aware of it, but it’s not new.

Ginger Zee @gingerzee.bsky.social · 20/11/2024
One of the last times a rare high risk(only 4% of flash flood days) was issued was for Appalachia in #Helene ;life threatening is appropriate. High risk days account for 1/3 of all flash flood fatalities & 4/5 flash flood damages. These words are used to describe the hazards. That’s it.

Ginger Zee @gingerzee.bsky.social · 19/11/2024
UPDATE: highest risk of flash flooding, life-threatening storm Northern California up to a foot and a half!

Updated drought monitor has > 50% of nation in drought; severe drought to worst in more than two decades for many in the northeast. Trevor at a PA tree farm seeing the baby trees dried up and dead from heat/drought. Plenty of mature trees but perhaps some impact in 7-8 years from this drought.

What will soon be #Sara will hang near the coast of Honduras this weekend- then head toward the Yucatan peninsula early next week. Most models pick it up with the trough and send it toward the gulf coast by next Wednesday. Will keep you updated.
