More than 18 million people from Texas to Mississippi are under threat of severe storms Tuesday, including tornadoes. In Mississippi, the Meridian Public School District – which serves over 4,900 students – announced they will be closed Wednesday due to the threat of severe weather. The Lawrence County and McComb School Districts also announced they were closing Wednesday due to the threat of severe weather. The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency also noted the severe weather expected in the state and asked residents to prepare. “With severe weather expected throughout Mississippi tonight and tomorrow, please review your severe weather preparedness checklist to make sure you are ready for the storms,” the agency said in a message on Twitter.
☆ Weekend atmospheric river brings feet of snow and flooding rain
  + stars: | 2022-12-10 | by ( Allison Chinchar | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +5 min
CNN —An atmospheric river event, bringing ample amounts of moisture to the West this weekend, will gradually move across the country and bring hazardous weather to millions. The blockbuster storm will begin in the West with heavy snow, gusty winds, and coastal flooding, then move eastward, threatening potential blizzard conditions in the Midwest and tornadoes in the South. More than a dozen western states are under winter weather alerts this weekend as the potent storm system moves across the region. Heavy rain will also be notable up and down the West Coast, particularly in California, where flooding concerns exist through Sunday. Similar to a fire hose, it shoots moisture into one area for an extended period of time, resulting in very heavy rain or snow.

CNN —Back-to-back-to-back systems will make their way across the United States over the next few days, with the last – and largest – storm bringing heavy rain, blizzard conditions and the potential for tornadoes. Along the coast, heavy rainfall and gusty winds will hammer the area with 1 to 2 inches of rainfall expected through Friday … before the main event arrives. Flash flooding, blizzard conditions and tornadoes possible next weekA blockbuster storm looks to be taking shape in the West for this weekend into early next week, threatening flash flooding, blizzard conditions and tornadoes. “As the system moves into the Plains early next week, a spring-like storm system develops,” Myers said. That threat is also increasing across the southern Plains and Gulf Coast region.
☆ How to stay safe in an extreme solar flare, where the sun bombards Earth with radiation and magnetic havoc
  + stars: | 2022-12-07 | by ( Morgan Mcfall-Johnsen | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +7 min
Stay safe during a solar storm by preparing to lose power, printing out maps, and staying off planes. What is a solar flare and how do they affect Earth? CMEs primarily affect the magnetosphere, jostling Earth's magnetic field lines in an event called a geomagnetic storm, also known as a solar storm. NASAGetting ready for the possibility of a major solar flare isn't that different from getting ready for any other disaster. If you follow the basics of disaster preparedness, you'll probably be ready for a solar flare.
☆ Back-to-back winter storms bring heavy snow, critical fire conditions and even a possible haboob to the West

Nicole became a Category 1 hurricane on Wednesday evening as the storm made landfall on Great Bahama Island. It is expected to remain a hurricane as it approaches Florida, according to forecasters at the National Hurricane Center.

The storm, currently a Category 1 hurricane, is expected to make landfall in Cuba on Monday evening. Lugo was one of many Florida residents preparing for flooding from torrential rains could submerge streets and homes. In a grocery store in St. Petersburg, across the state on the Gulf Coast, only empty cardboard boxes remained where the store normally stocks distilled water. "This is a really big storm," Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said during a morning news conference, noting that the storm could potentially envelope both coasts of the state. From there, Ian could either make landfall north of Tampa Bay early on Friday or turn northwest toward Florida's Panhandle.
☆ A short guide to understanding heat domes.
  + stars: | 2022-08-01 | by ( Isabella Grullón Paz | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Temperatures are soaring in California this week, the result of what is known as a heat dome. And earlier this summer, heat domes were parked over the Central Plains for weeks in June, and then again in July, breaking records for consecutive triple-digit days. But what is a heat dome? Many meteorologists actually use the terms “heat dome” and “heat wave” interchangeably, because you can’t have a heat wave without a heat dome, said Greg Carbin, forecast operations chief at the National Weather Service’s Weather Prediction Center. How do heat domes form?

☆ Atmospheric river of moisture will trigger storms and tornadoes this week
  + stars: | 2022-04-11 | by ( Jennifer Gray | Cnn Meteorologist | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +10 min
(CNN) You may have heard of atmospheric rivers impacting the West Coast. Apparently, atmospheric rivers also occur in the eastern US, unleashing a river of moisture like what we will see this week. The reason East Coast atmospheric rivers aren't talked about much isn't because they are rare. The West gets about half that number of atmospheric rivers each year, yet they account for double the annual rainfall percentage. It will combine with the available moisture provided by the atmospheric river we talked about and will result in the perfect setup for severe weather.
