| 15/10/2008 | Q: Why is New York City cooler than San Francisco? Aren't they both on the ocean? |
|
A: Part of the reason is latitude. New York is at nearly 41°N, while San Francisco is at about 37.5°N. Even more important is that the prevailing winds for both cities are from the west. This means that while air flows into San Francisco off the Pacific Ocean, air flowing into New York City comes from off the land. This makes the moderating effect on San Francisco more pronounced. Here is a table of average... |

| 15/10/2008 | Meteorologists predict intensely brisk autumn |

There is so much public interest in the winter forecast (how much snow will I see at my house?) and, to a lesser extent, the summer forecast (will there be a drought this year?) that fall and spring are often overlooked. However, the crack staff of weather experts at the Onion News Network are keeping a close eye on autumn.

| 15/10/2008 | Wildfire threat remains high; Watching Hurricane Omar in the Caribbean |
|
Western wildfires -- While winds have weakened, they continue to blow offshore, meaning that moister Pacific air will be held at bay for the next several days. Low relative humidities and occasionally gusty winds will keep red flag fire warnings in place today for much of Southern California. Cooler temperatures and higher humidities are expected by the weekend, reducing the wildfire threat. Tropical update -- Hurricane Omar is in the eastern Caribbean about 265 miles... |

| 15/10/2008 | "Fire and Rain" |
|
James Taylor's Fire and Rain uses weather imagery, from a cold wind to sunny days that never end, to take the listener on an emotional rollercoaster. Fire and Rain, a single from the 1970 album, Sweet Baby James, was Taylor's first top ten hit, propelled the album to triple-platinum status and became his signature tune. As I've looked into James Taylor's personal history and his impressive discography, I see that weather themes have often informed... |

| 14/10/2008 | Flaming squirrel blamed for small Calif. wildfire |
|
Usually I don't post directly from an AP headline or story, but I simply couldn't resist this time.... REDDING, Calif. -- With southern California fighting wind-driven flames and spot fires breaking out across northern California, firefighters have fingered at least one arsonist: an unlucky squirrel. Redding firefighters say the squirrel set off the blaze when it shorted out a power line, caught fire and dropped into dry vegetation. Battalion Chief Gerry Gray says it took... |

| 14/10/2008 | NHC plays the name game with Nana |
|
Couldn't help but chuckle at the National Hurricane Center's final forecast discussion on Tropical Depression Nana this morning. The storm has only been a "fish storm," spinning in the central Atlantic, so some levity is understandable when hurricane specialist Eric Blake writes, "It's time to sing Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Her Goodbye." He's probably been waiting to use that one all season -- perhaps he's got a list of potential hurricane headlines like mine.... |

Santa Anas fan wildfires -- Red flag fire warnings and high wind warnings remain in place across parts of Southern California as well as coastal sections of Central and Northern California. While offshore winds are expected to weaken this afternoon through Wednesday, abundant dry fuel and low relative humidity will keep fire weather conditions at a critical level. Here is a map link to active fires in California. Rain in the Plains -- Moderate to... |

|
If you find yourself admiring tonight's "Full Hunter's Moon," you might be treated to a halo as well. Perhaps singer-songwriter Steve Earle was inspired to write Halo 'Round the Moon, a past "Wednesday weather song," on such a night. Oddly enough, singer-songwriter James Taylor once recorded a traditional song called Circle Around the Sun. James Taylor also wrote and recorded this week's featured "Wednesday weather song." In fact, it has become Taylor's signature tune --... |
|
| 13/10/2008 | Q: When a hurricane is a specific distance from shore, why is the expected time of landfall so changeable? |
|
A: A distance specified by the National Hurricane Center is not necessarily the distance of the hurricane from the eventual point of landfall. The "cone of uncertainty" in a forecast track can encompass a large area and changes to the track can drastically affect the distance to shore. If the storm slows down or speeds up, this can also change the time the storm takes to make landfall. In the case of Hurricane Ike, the... |
