what do you know about the gulf stream nozzle and its affect by global warming

Asked by pwinkler about 8 years ago

Global warming issues is not something I generally comment on. Climate is more of a long-term subject as opposed to weather which is more day-to-day and short-term. Thanks!

We are vacationing in Cancun starting October 29th to November 3rd we would like to know how the weather will be. If there will be any hurricanes, rain or approximate weather. Thank You

Asked by Oney P about 6 years ago

Hello. I'm in Texas and generally don't forecast for Cancun. You might try weatherbug.com. Have a great trip!

Can hail really fall in the shape of hearts?

Asked by Rar over 6 years ago

Sure. Any odd shaped stone is likely an amalgamation of a bunch of smaller stones that have partially melted in the storm and then frozen together again. So I guess in theory you could get just about any shape! Thanks.

Are you in a safe place when there is a tornado warring for your area and your broadcasting. I think it ßets a bad example when say a weather man is not in a safe shelter broadcasting. You can still talk and tel the weather like radio stations do.

Asked by Dinosaur almost 6 years ago

Yes, the center of our building is concrete reinforced. Different stations have different setups but most of us know where we will go it the station is under threat. A few colleagues have had close calls. At home we have an underground shelter. Hope you have a plan in place. Thanks!

Does the ‘feel like’ temperature below 32F when the temperature is above 32F cause slippery conditions on sidewalks or garage ramps or should I turn on the ramp heaters then those temperatures exist?

Asked by Jack almost 7 years ago

Hi, Jack. Nope, the feels like temperatures is a calculated number. Go with the actual temperature.

What was your worst day on the job?

Asked by Sam over 6 years ago

Hmmm...any day with tornadoes is interesting. Severe weather is always fascinating to watch but the idea of loss of life always lingers in the back of your mind. Thanks for the question, Sam.

If there was a Blizzard warring and there was thunder snow with high winds. Would they post a severe thunderstorm warring? Could they and would it even be needed?

Asked by DJ about 6 years ago

Likely not. A severe thunderstorm warning is triggered by one inch hail and/or 58 mph winds. Different process. A thunderstorm is more of a local convective event and strong winds in a blizzard are a larger scale pressure gradient event. Great question!
