POSSIBLE FROST TUESDAY & MORE ON THE VOLCANO
Written by: Brian Neudorff
We've got a really nice yet dry week ahead of us. High pressure is dropping out of Canada and will move through the Great Lakes through the first half of the week. This means we will see a chilly Tuesday morning. Skies will be clear winds will be light and this equals temperatures in the mid to low 30s. Because of that the NWS out of Buffalo has issued a frost advisory for most of Western New York until 8am Tuesday morning.
This is just a frost advisory I am not worried about any hard freezes at this point. We get back into the 60s Tuesday and Wednesday and really the only chance for some light rain is Wednesday night into Thursday as a weak cold front slides through the region.
ANIMATION OF THE VOLCANIC ASH CLOUD:
The Norwegian Meteorological Office put together a time-lapse animation showing the spread of the ash cloud emitted by the Eyjafjallajökull volcano. Yellow indicates ash that has fallen by itself, red ash that has fallen as a result of precipitation, and black where the ash cloud is at that moment in time. This was as of Sunday afternoon and you can see some of the ash cloud was spreading west towards North America and Newfoundland. They are already canceling flights in Newfoundland this morning. You can visit the Norwegian Meteorological Office but it is in Norwegian.
Through Twitter I came across some video feeds that you can watch the volcano live. There are two links. Here & Here
I am going to be out fishing all day on Wednesday and would really love to have a sunny day. Will I be able to get a full day of sunshine on Wednesday before that front and associated clouds / rain approaches, or is it gonna cloud up?
ReplyDeleteAny chance that the ash cloud will eventually cross the lower 48?
ReplyDeleteScott, Brian and Bob,
ReplyDeleteI like your commercial you put together for having the most accurate forecast. You guys are the sharpest weather trio to hit Rochester, and you should be proud.
As for a raise, I could use one of those right about now, myself lol.
To the person who asked about Wednesday. It won't be sunny all day. In fact I think we will range Partly sunny to start to mostly cloudy by the afternoon. I don't see as much rain if any associated with the front. I hope you have a good time fishing.
ReplyDeleteAlthough some of the ash from the main ash cloud has been sheared to Newfoundland I don't think we are at risk for the problems they are seeing in the UK.
ReplyDeleteThe UK is the closest country and currently downwind from the volcanic ash that's why they are experience some of the worst problems from it.
I have to say it has been very interesting to read all the stories coming out in the wake of this volcano. From how Climate Change will cause MORE volcanoes to people questioning whether or not the EU has been over reacting to the ash clouds.
From a science stand point I am starting to think these volcanoes are becoming more active because of the recent earthquake activity. Just this morning (Tuesday) there was an earthquake in TN and also one in Australia.
