Greeting everyone and thanks for stopping by. As I mentioned last week, the Tornado Quest Top Science Links update will now be every Friday afternoon, central USA time. The website has also been reworked into a more streamlined, cleaner format that will make it easier for you to find the information and updates you need. I will continue this week with more severe weather safety infographics for you with a look at lightning and flood safety. We’ll also review the weekly update of the US Drought Monitor.
- The European Space Agency has a new weather satellite and it’s nothing short of spectacular.
- El Nino will be a big player in how active the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season will be. Until then, more variable will have to be taken into account in the coming weeks.
- Here is this weeks update on the USA Drought Monitor. Conditions east of the Mississippi river have improved a great deal. Extreme or exceptional drought conditions continue for a few central and southern plains states. Recent thunderstorms have helped ease drought conditions across Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas.
SEVERE WEATHER PREPAREDNESS AND SAFETY
- The severe weather season in 2023 continues. This week, we’ll take a look at lightning and flood safety. In addition, here is an essential read on severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, and related hazards in an excellent 20 page PDF file from the National Weather Service…”Thunderstorms, Tornadoes, and Lightning. Nature’s Most Violent Storms.”
This important infographic focuses on winter weather and social media. However, it also applies to ANY weather conditions that occur years round regardless of where you live. Remember that your NOAA weather radio, local NWS Office, and the broadcast meteorologists of your choice are always the best choices for all types of weather…from clement to life threatening situations.
That’s a wrap for this post! Thanks to everyone for stopping by. A big ‘Thank You’ to all of you who pay this website a visit and follow Tornado Quest in social media!
See you next Friday!
