#NOAA / #NHC still expecting #TropStorm #Nicole to become a category one #hurricane. Currently, the center is near Grand Cayman Island 🏝️. The #Cayman_Islands 🇰🇾 are under a hurricane 🌀 warning, as are portions of #Florida. Storm surge is expected to be major and to cover a broad area.
I watched videos by Tropical Tidbits Levi Cowan and Mr Weatherman Brian Shields with my grandson again, along with visiting “the NHC site”:{https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/}.

#NOAA / #NWS has been sending alerts about rainy and snowy weather in !SoCal for the past few days. No reports from home about any flooding or damage, but I did hear that one of the mountain passes had a car washed off the highway.
-
Today’s discussion is about Subtropical Storm ⛈️ Nicole, which appears to be heading for The Bahamas and Florida. We looked at the #NOAA / #NHC inundation map for this storm. It looks like there could be storm surge flooding for some distance inland.
-
#NOAA / #NWS reported at least two 5.0 earthquakes on the SE coast of the island of #Hawaii in #HI. The first one was re-evaluated as a 4.9. Over 500 reports on the 2nd one, but the pager is green (low or no damage, low or no fatalities).
The quakes were on or near the Southeastern flank of Mauna Loa.
No #tsunami, according to https://tsunami.gov/

Got some #NOAA / #NWS notifications about severe #t-storms in parts of #Kansas and #Nebraska late last night / early this morning. About two hours later, they sent red flag warnings (fire weather watches and warnings) for nearby and partially overlapping areas. It just seems weird that they’re warning about rain, hail, winds … and then a few hours later, some of the same areas are being warned about fire danger.

Watching the #NOAA / #NHC site’s updates about #Hurricane #Ian as the storm’s eyewall comes ashore in #FL. I’m used to watching the storm stream from WAFB-TV-9 in #Baton_Rouge #LA, but they are not covering this event in #Florida. https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/

Post Tropical Cyclone #Fiona continues to affect #Canada's Atlantic provinces, but #NOAA / #NHC won't track any more because it is post-tropical. I expect Environment Canada will continue watching it.

#NOAA / #NHC: Invest 98L expected to become a major hurricane 🌀 in the Caribbean or the Gulf of Mexico. #Hurricane #Fiona expected to graze #Bermuda. #TropStorm #Gaston expected to loop back and hit the Azores Islands. Invest 90L expected to develop quickly, head northward. #Invest 99L following behind 98L, with slow development if any.
This is peak time (though it always seems like it should be August instead).

#GS3 saw some TV show with pirates and treasure maps, so he knows “X marks the spot”. He saw me looking at #NOAA / #NHC hurricane maps, and saw a red “X”, so now he asks to see the “wurricanes” twice per day.
He even asked for wurricane shaped pancakes this morning.

#NOAA / #NWS sending alerts (including phone alerts) for flash flooding in #San_Bernardino County. Covered areas include portions of the #Inland_Empire in the San Bernardino Valley, areas in the San Bernardino Mountains, and portions of the #High_Desert.
Travel is not recommended because of road flooding, unless in an evacuation zone.
Portions of #I-15, #SR-18, #SR-247, #SR-138, #SR-62 are included.
(And again, AT&T vs Verizon vs TMobile alerting somewhat different areas.)

#NOAA / #NWS: #Danielle is now a #TropStorm, but expected to become a #Hurricane again soon. Still not threatening land. #Earl remains a Tropical Storm, still expected to drop heavy rainfall on #PR, #USVI / #BVI, and the northern Leeward Islands.
#Javier is still a Tropical Storm. Still TS watches and warnings along the coasts of southern Baja California.
-
Tropical storm activity suddenly picks up. Within the last two days, two new storms formed in the Atlantic: #hurricane #Danielle and #tropstorm #Earl. In the Eastern Pacific, Tropical Storm #Javier formed.
Danielle is not expected to approach land within the next few days. Earl is expected to pass North of the Leeward Islands, Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico, bringing heavy rainfall. Javier is passing SW of Baja California Sur, and is expected to bring heavy rains and winds.

#NOAA / #NWS has been sending alerts for severe #t-storms with heavy rainfall and flash flooding most of today, covering much of #San_Bernardino County and parts of #Riverside County in !SoCal.
A couple of those alerts covered areas near me. My personal phone got alerted for #flash_floods, but my work phone (which was also with me) did not. This illustrates why people should get NOAA weather alert radios for their homes and other places where they spend a lot of time. (NOTE: Your $EMPLOYER may not allow you to set one up at the workplace.)
The alerts transmitted by mobile carriers are not dependable. In some areas, one carrier will have service and another will not. In other areas, multiple carriers may have service, but only one will alert. In still other areas, multiple carriers will transmit alerts, but there may be a few minutes between carriers.
They used to cost around $40 at Walmart. You have to find out the NOAA alert code for your county and enter it into the radio. Then, when it picks up the code, it will emit a loud beeping noise, then switch on the audio of the nearest NOAA weather radio station ... which should be describing the alert details.
In some places, the county-level alerts are not very helpful. San Bernardino County is one of those places, because the county is the largest in the lower 48 states, and covers an area from Montclair to Needles (multiple hours of driving apart from each other). But in most of the rest of the country, they are very helpful. For example, Wayne County, #MI (Detroit area) is relatively compact, so a weather alert there is likely relevant.

Potential Tropical Cyclone Four is approaching the coastline of Southern Texas and Northeastern Mexico. One to four inches of rainfall expected, with possible isolated flash floods. Not expecting significant flooding impacts. Not currently expecting wind speeds to reach tropical storm speed.
