This is absolutely concerning on many levels.
First off for one thing, I have not experienced a slight risk of severe weather, that I could remember in my entire 28 years i’ve been alive, raised and born in California. And secondly, this is tornado driven for a 5% chance of
This is a bad and alarming as it gets, latest 00z GFS wants a bombing cyclone nearly 75-100 miles off the coast of San Francisco. This could very well result in sustained winds of 35-50 mph with winds gusting over 75 mph along the coast & higher elevations. Now to be specific,

There are early growing signals of a very busy period ahead from August 15th through the peak of hurricane season. Here you can see green and blue colors (Rising Motion) over the Atlantic & Africa and Orange/Red colors (Sinking Motion) over the EPAC.
It is unfortunately looking like the first full week of December is going to be completely dry with temperatures well above average, a similar scary scenario that leads to the ridiculous resilient ridge in the face of a very strong El Niño. So because we’re seeing this pattern
Wow, it is quite concerning to see just how warm the Atlantic is in the deep tropics with cold water at least slightly below average in the far northern Atlantic usually lends to a very very busy hurricane season. It is also jaw-dropping to see Upper Ocean heat content in the

El Nino is quickly developing as another Kelvin wave moves across the Pacific, leading to weakening trade winds. But something concerning about this El Nino is it's running ahead of 1997/98 El Nino, and therefore confidence is increasing on a "Super El Nino" This Fall

My gosh, I have never in my entire life seen a hurricane model read a forecast of 897 mbar. This is the forecast intensity on, tropical storm, Lee in the next 4 1/2 days. Potential max winds with this at the surface 185 to 190 miles an hour with 150 mbar winds which is at 5000
A max flight-level wind of 161 knots or roughly 185 mph with SFMR winds reaching as high as 190 mph certainly may deserve a 175-180 mph upgrade in the next NHC update. Also, the central pressure fell to 927.9 mbars.
This makes
