The southern tip of Texas will see the most severe impact from Hurricane Beryl. Heat indices near 110℉ will pose risks on Friday, followed by wind gusts of 25 to 30 miles per hour Friday afternoon.
Manual prognostic charts depict tropical cyclones, turbulence, weather fronts, rain and snow areas, precipitation type and coverage indicators, as well as centers of high and low pressure. [6] Within the United States, these type of maps are generated by the Hydrometeorological Prediction Center , [ 7 ] the Storm Prediction Center , [ 5 ] the ...
The January 5–6, 2025 United States blizzard was a significant and expansive winter weather event that produced blizzard conditions across the High Plains, [2] as well as a long swath of accumulating snow and ice storm to the eastern half of the United States in early January 2025.
The Bulk Richardson Number (BRN) is a dimensionless number relating vertical stability and vertical wind shear (generally, stability divided by shear). It represents the ratio of thermally-produced turbulence and turbulence generated by vertical shear. Practically, its value determines whether convection is free or forced.
Turbulence can be caused by “waves” of air, which form upon contact with mountains and which can end up hitting an aircraft “like ocean waves crashing onto a beach”, by jet streams and ...
Parts of Texas and Louisiana were under a tornado watch Thursday night as a line of thunderstorms battered the south-central U.S., threatening the region with large hail, damaging winds and heavy ...
As of 1965 it had been noted that 64% of the non-light turbulences (not only CAT) were observed less than 150 nautical miles (280 km) away from the core of a jet stream. Jet stream produces horizontal wind shear at its edges, caused by the different relative air speeds of the stream and the surrounding air. Wind shear, a difference in relative ...
The weather service said light snow will begin in Texas on Wednesday before advancing into a larger storm on Thursday. While the weather service said it is unclear how much snow will fall, the ...
