Another East Coast Storm? Don’t Buy the Hype Just Yet. After a computer model began hinting that another storm could be on the way, meteorologists sought to tamp down speculation.

Is Another East Coast Storm on the Horizon? Maybe 🤷‍♂️

As the snow and ice still blanket the ground, whispers of yet another weekend winter storm are starting to stir. But it’s only Monday, and with the unpredictable nature of the weather, there’s time for a shift before the weekend arrives.

No, Trees Don’t Explode When It Gets Cold, but They Do Go Pop While the weight of freezing rain, ice and snow can damage branches, there is another kind of injury that comes with the extreme cold, experts say.

The science is fascinating.

Why iPhone and Android Weather Apps Are Freaking Out About Winter Storm Forecasts A foot of snow in New York? Two feet? Well, it’s complicated.

Why do weather apps sometimes have wild snow amounts?

It's not a glitch; it's model uncertainty showing its face.

I broke down what the apps are actually displaying and what the public needs to know.

To my friend Phil Klotzbach's point, Dorion also reached 185 mph at landfall, but the pressure was much higher then.

Update from Nazaneen Ghaffar Hurricane Melissa

Hurricane Melissa is just the second Atlantic storm to ever make landfall with estimated winds of 185 miles per hour. The only other storm to reach that wind speed at landfall occurred before storms were officially named and was known as the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935.

Forecasters are sounding the alarm: this could be your "last chance to protect your life!"

#Hurricane #Melissa has rapidly intensified into one of the most powerful storms ever recorded in the Atlantic and is fast approaching Jamaica.

3 Ways Hurricane Forecasts Have Changed Since Katrina Modern technology has given meteorologists more detail than they’ve ever had on how storms behave. Here’s what they’re doing with it.

It was truly an honor to interview two Hurricane Directors two decades after Hurricane #Katrina. One was at the helm during the storm, while the other leads today.

The most profound lesson that emerged from our conversation?

The critical importance of communication.

Climatologically, HALF of the 6-month Atlantic hurricane season's activity occurs in just 1 month: from August 28 through September 28. It's quiet now, but don't tune out!

This story is a must-read for anyone who has ever spent time boating on a lake. 🚤🌩️
