Winds are forecast to gust between 45 mph to 70 mph, with relative humidity as low as 8%. Those strong winds and dry conditions are likely continue to fuel the historic wildfires raging in ...
High winds and red flag advisories warning of "a particularly dangerous situation" were set to activate Monday night and last through at least Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service ...
The National Weather Service issues a similar high wind warning (Specific Area Message Encoding code: HWW) for high winds on land. The criteria vary from place to place; however, in most cases, the warning applies to winds of 40 miles per hour (64 km/h) to 73 miles per hour (117 km/h) for at least 1 hour; or any gusts of 58 miles per hour (93 km/h) to 114 miles per hour (183 km/h) on land.
Sir Francis Beaufort. The scale that carries Beaufort's name had a long and complex evolution from the previous work of others (including Daniel Defoe the century before). In the 18th century, naval officers made regular weather observations, but there was no standard scale and so they could be very subjective — one man's "stiff breeze" might be another's "soft breeze"—: Beaufort succeeded ...

Weather reconnaissance aircraft, such as this WP-3D Orion, provide data that is then used in numerical weather forecasts.. The atmosphere is a fluid.As such, the idea of numerical weather prediction is to sample the state of the fluid at a given time and use the equations of fluid dynamics and thermodynamics to estimate the state of the fluid at some time in the future.
A winter storm warning means heavy snow is expected, along with the possibility of gusty winds and blowing snow, reduced visibility, dangerous road conditions and travel delays. But there's a ...
