Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #severeweather, aggregated by home.social.

  1. NWS Wakefield boffins expect another typical early fall (Sep, Oct, Nov) fall day. A meteorological stoppage is holding Canadian cold air to our north. This ridge is likely to move on early next week per Ryan Hall.

    Anyway, our weather hazard map is clear except for beach hazards and small craft cautions.

    Outside the area, thunderstorms and heavy rainfall are expected from the Texas panhandle to the Ohio River Valley. The heat remains on in the heart of Texas.

    1000 AM CDT Tue Sep 01 2026

    ...AIR FORCE HURRICANE HUNTERS FIND EDOUARD IS STRENGTHENING...
    ...CONTINUED INTENSIFICATION IS EXPECTED BEFORE EDOUARD REACHES THE
    NORTHWESTERN GULF COAST TODAY...


    SUMMARY OF 1000 AM CDT...1500 UTC...INFORMATION
    LOCATION...29.4N 93.3W
    ABOUT 30 MI...45 KM S OF CAMERON LOUISIANA
    ABOUT 50 MI...80 KM SE OF PORT ARTHUR TEXAS
    MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...50 MPH...85 KM/H
    PRESENT MOVEMENT...NW OR 305 DEGREES AT 8 MPH...13 KM/H
    MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...1000 MB...29.53 INCHES

    SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT:

    A Storm Surge Warning is in effect for...
    * High Island, Texas to the Vermilion/Cameron Parish Line

    A Hurricane Watch is in effect for...
    * High Island, Texas to Cameron, Louisiana

    A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for...
    * Port Bolivar, Texas to the Vermilion/Iberia Parish Line

    DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK: At 1000 AM CDT (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Edouard was located near latitude 29.4 North, longitude 93.3 West. Edouard is moving toward the northwest near 8 mph (13 km/h), and this motion is expected to continue through early Wednesday. On the forecast
    track, the center of Edouard is forecast to reach the northwestern Gulf Coast within the warning area later today and move inland over southeast Texas tonight.

    Data from the Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunters indicate that maximum sustained winds are near 50 mph (85 km/h) with higher gusts. Additional strengthening is forecast before Edouard makes landfall today, and the storm could approach hurricane strength. Rapid weakening is expected after the center moves inland.

    Edouard is a small tropical cyclone. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 25 miles (35 km) from the center.

    The estimated minimum central pressure is 1000 mb (29.53 inches).

    WIND: Tropical storm conditions will spread over portions of the warning area during the next few hours. Hurricane conditions are possible within the Hurricane Watch area later today.

    STORM SURGE: The combination of storm surge and tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water could reach the
    following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide...

    High Island, TX to Vermilion/Cameron Parish Line, LA...3-5 ft
    Vermilion/Cameron Parish Line, LA to Morgan City, LA...1-3 ft

    The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast near and to the right of the center. Surge-related flooding depends on the relative timing of the surge and the tidal cycle, and can vary greatly over short distances. For information specific to your area, please see products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast office.

    RAINFALL: Edouard is expected to produce rainfall totals of 3 to 6 inches with maximum totals up to 9 inches for parts of the Upper Texas Coast inland through east-central Texas, with potential for 2
    to 4 inches in far southwest Louisiana. This rainfall is likely to produce flash flooding, especially in low-lying and urban areas. River flooding may also be possible.

    TORNADOES: A tornado or two is possible this afternoon and evening over parts of southwest Louisiana and southeast Texas.

    NEXT ADVISORY

    Next intermediate advisory at 100 PM CDT.
    Next complete advisory at 400 PM CDT.

    From Ryan Hall Y’all on FB: Level 2 risk today for damaging wind and large hail across Nebraska, North Dakota, and Louisiana, roughly 6.9 million people inside that zone. Up in North Dakota, storms near Fargo could start as rotating cells with big hail before clustering up, with the best hail window running 4 PM to midnight and peaking near 6 this evening. Down along the Gulf coast, Baton Rouge and nearby Louisiana towns are watching a wind threat that ramps up quickly this afternoon and peaks close to 3 PM. There's also a tornado risk today, but it covers a much smaller part of the overall area, mainly tied to those Nebraska and North Dakota storms before they line out.

  9. Your Friday Dismal Manor Foreast summary is for continued #HHH with increasing #FUGLY. Friday’s weather hazard map is clear.

    But isolated supper time thunderstorms are possible.

    Locally, severe storms are not expected but scattered thunderstorms, some severe, are possible in Foggy Bottom and points north.

    Expect fair winds and following seas on the Chesapeake Bay except where thunderstorms are present. Scattered severe storms are possible on the northern Bay.

    #VAwx #NCwx #SevereWeather

  10. Your Monday morning Nasty or Nice outlook promises somewhat nice weather to much of the country (the blue parts). Texas, parts of Big Sky, and the southwestern prairie join the southeastern east coast in gloom and rain.

    Excessive rainfall is possible in the Sonoran Desert, in Big Sky, and along the east coast.

    Hazardous heat continues in the southwest desert region. #FUGLY holds sway in the yellow areas of the heat map (4).

    From Chief Meteorologist Jamie Arnold WMBF on FB: 11 AM TROPICS UPDATE | Tropical Depression Two continues to get a bit better organized this morning. The latest forecast calls for this to become Tropical Storm Bertha later today. Tropical Storm Watches remain in place for the Gulf Coast.

  12. The heat remains on though not featured in Monday’s forecasts. Deep South and Great Plains are in the oven Monday.

    And the drought remains on although the rain is chipping away at it in the Northeast. Southeast and Deep South and west of the Continental Divide remain in deficit.

    #FUGLY #NastyOrNiceOutlook #SevereWeather

  13. Monday’s Nasty or Nice outlook definitely leans to the nasty side of things as the #FUGLY holds sway along a stalled front menacing the Virginia/Carolina border area.

    At national scale the much of the country has conditions for thunderstorm development.

    Severe storms are possible in the Carolina’s Low Country and the western Great Lakes.

    The Gulf Coast tropical miasma is expected to make the grade later today and will be named Bertha.

    Taking a dip #LaborDay weekend? Swimmers face fecal contamination at beaches along US coastline

    By PATRICK WHITTLE and MINGSON LAU
    Updated 10:15 AM EDT, August 30, 2025

    OGUNQUIT, Maine (AP) — "Thousands of Americans will head to beaches for one last summer splash this Labor Day weekend, but taking a dip might be out of the question: Many of the beaches will caution against swimming because of unsafe levels of fecal contamination.

    "Beaches from #CrystalRiverFL, to #OgunquitME, have been under advisories warning about water quality this week because of elevated levels of bacteria associated with fecal waste. The advisories typically discourage beachgoers from going in the water because the bacteria can cause gastrointestinal illness, rashes and nausea.

    "There have been closures this week at some of the country’s most popular beach destinations, including Keyes Memorial Beach in the #CapeCod village of Hyannis in Barnstable, Massachusetts; Benjamin’s Beach on #LongIsland in Bay Shore, New York; and a portion of the Imperial Beach shoreline near #SanDiego. Even on the pristine, white sand beaches of Hawaii, the Hawaii State Department of Health is warning of a high bacteria count at #KahaluuBeachPark on the #BigIsland.

    "It’s a longstanding and widespread problem. Nearly two-thirds of beaches tested nationwide in 2024 experienced at least one day in which indicators of fecal contamination reached potentially unsafe levels, conservation group Environment America said in a report issued this summer.
    "The group reviewed beaches on the coasts and #GreatLakes and found that 84% of #GulfCoast beaches exceeded the standard at least once. The number was 79% for #WestCoast beaches, 54% for #EastCoast beaches and 71% for #GreatLakes beaches.

    "The report also said more than 450 beaches were potentially unsafe for swimming on at least 25 percent of the days tested. A key reason is outdated water and #SewerSystems that allows contamination from #sewage to reach the places where people swim, said John Rumpler, clean water director and senior attorney with #EnvironmentAmerica.

    " 'These beaches are a treasure for families across New England and across the country. They are a shared resource,' said Rumpler, who is based in Boston. 'We need to make the investment to make sure that literally our own #HumanWaste doesn’t wind up in the places where we are swimming.'

    "Other factors have also played a role in contaminating beaches, including increasingly #SevereWeather that overwhelms sewage systems, and suburban sprawl that paves over natural areas and reduces the #ecosystem’s ability to absorb #stormwater, Rumpler said."

  19. In today's #ClimateDiary, lightning from a very severe but brief thunderstorm had a direct hit very close to our house. We thought it had hit a nearby bridge, but it seems to have struck a neighbor's house. Yikes!
