5 fascinating scientific discoveries made during solar eclipses | @WFLARebecca reports: bit.ly/3ILQIU0
Ever see one of these? Somewhat rare, and a spectacle to see. Fallstreak hole punch clouds consist of a streak forming a hole in the cloud. They are produced when water drops below freezing quickly freeze and drop out of the cloud from a disturbance like a plane flying thru.
In today's Berardelli Bonus... we talk "cool" clouds... NOT cold clouds, but clouds that are cool, hip, gnarly. Specifically "fallstreak hole punch" clouds. The illustration will make the science behind it crystal clear. And here's my archive of Bonuses, wfla.com/news/berardell…
In today’s Berardelli Bonus, 1% of the nation was below normal this winter. Lucky me, I was one of them! Across the rest of the nation it was a blowtorch, by far the warmest winter on record. Thanks @Climatologist49 and @ClimateCentral for the great GFX help!
Berardelli Bonus: Weather Whiplash is increasing especially on the West Coast. That means big water challenges now into the future.
In a warmer climate, snow levels rise and snow pack decreases by a HUGE amount. Why? Think about the difference in width of the mountain base vs peak. The drop in snow pack area is huge. (This is an idealized graphic, numbers are only to help explain). The result is this… 🧵 1/
If you don't like the cold, you may want to move further south tonight. Wind chill Advisories for wind chills in the 20s and 30s area wide! @WFLA
Tampa Bay Area: Get ready for weather whiplash, starting with Friday and Saturday. Warm southerly breeze Friday afternoon but 20 degrees colder Saturday afternoon with a breezy north wind. Much colder air arrives the middle of next week!
We all know human caused climate change is heating the planet. Along with that moisture is increasing. Left: 2023 dewpoint change compared to the middle 20th century (red = more). Right: 2023 column water vapor content compared to middle 20th century (blue/green = more).
Big heads up! This is called the significant tornado parameter, essentially the risk of seeing a tornado with ~100mph winds. Can’t say I’ve ever seen it this high for such a widespread area. Be prepared tomorrow from 2pm-7pm in the Bay Area from NW to SE. @WFLA
Here’s the timing of tomorrow’s major squall line. @WFLA
Here’s the timing of storms Saturday morning. A few severe storms are possible in the Bay Area.
Severe weather Tuesday in Bay Area. 2 systems. One Saturday AM w/ a marginal risk. Low level jet is decent but lifts north. Tuesday a much stronger low level jet penetrates further south. This set up, during a strong El Niño, can lead to widespread severe & a few tornadoes @WFLA
In Florida it rains on one side of the street but not the other. 160 miles separate Ft Lauderdale and Sarasota, yet Ft Laud has seen more than 4X the rain this year. It’s amazing. Extreme drought in Sarasota. Waterlogged in South Florida.
Wet and windy weekend as a strong storm forms right overhead. Gusts 50+ for some, with isolated damaging gusts as the storm and front crosses over FL. @WFLA
Heads up!! A significant coastal flood threat Saturday night into Sunday morning. A couple of feet of water possible in low-lying areas. The box shows the tide level relative to mean sea level and the time of high tide. @WFLA
Here’s the hour by hour radar Saturday into Sunday. Notice the warm front enter the picture late Saturday. There could be damaging winds and tornadoes as it passes. Stay weather aware!! @WFLA
Deep tropical moisture surges north from the Caribbean and drenches Florida this weekend with several inches of rain. Some may see half their normal winter rainfall!
Please direct your anger away from the weatherman!!! (Rainfall forecast over the next week+). For those of you not in the Tampa Bay Area, you may be happy with this, but in Tampa-Sarasota we are in extreme drought with 15-25” below normal for the year!! @WFLA
Y'all ready for this?? Monday morning will be up to 17 degrees below normal on the Nature Coast and even Tampa and Sarasota will be 10 below. Amazing first cool front of the season!!
