9/28 Increased concern for Severe

Especially areas east of 95, and even more especially in Southeastern VA! I am seeing bands spiraling around the center of Jeanne's remnants which will mean breaks in rain and possibility of some sunshine in areas. This is more conducive for thunderstorms and instability and is giving me more concern for Tornadoes. Please stay tuned to media and weather outlets for watches and or warnings. Based on what I see, I do believe a tornado watch will be issued for the Southeastern 1/3rd of the Virginia and Maryland areas. This may extent further north and west, but not likely too far west of I-95.

Heavy rains and some severe

Jeanne's remnants will give us a good shot of rain today. 2 to 3 inches with some 4 inch plus amounts are possible especially the eastern side of the higher elevations. Severe weather will also be possible, especially eastern VA and Lower Southern Maryland. The Southern Part of VA could see isolated severe weather today as well. With the shear in the atmosphere there is a risk for isolated tornadoes. ===== Jimmy Chaplin of Mid Atlantic Weather. http://www.midatlanticweather.com * Get the Washington DC Weatherbook!

FL Disaster in the Makings!

Unlike Ivan and Frances, Jeanne is strengthening and fast on her arrival. I am thinking Palm Beach up to Daytona may see major devastation. Most of Northern FL will be seriously damaged. PLEASE let everyone know that Jeanne is Major and the way she looks she could be extreme by the time she makes landfall. I hope people take her seriously! She will likely affect us Monday into Tuesday and the more westward track I am seeing means eastern areas are more likely to be seriously affected by heavy rains and winds. Heavy rains could affect us area wide. More to come! FOR NOW! Pray for Floridians as I see serious problems for people down there!

What an amazing tropical season!

I just read in awe this evening as Ivan was reborn a tropical storm in the Gulf of Mexico! YES, he has taken a southeastern US loop off of the SE coast, back across Florida as a tropical leftover, and then, he got his strength and name back in the Central Gulf! And right now, we have 4 named storms in the Atlantic Basin! I am feeling we may have five by sometime tomorrow! enough ramblings, we have Jeane to watch! I am sending an early alert on Jeane. She has made a loop as well North and east of the Bahamas. She has started her westward move back towards the US today. She has been a bad girl already. She killed over 700 people in Haiti. I am concerned of her destinations. I am thinking she is headed very near the FL/GA coasts! She could come on shore somewhere North of Daytona up to GA/SC border (Though up the coast all the way to the Delmarva is not out of the question). She will likely not go too far inland if she reaches the coast as she will start turning north, and then Northeast. Here is the concern.. She will be close enough to cause wave action and possible storminess for the Eastern Shore and Southeastern VA.. BUT, my serious concern is that she makes it just inland and starts up the coastal plain from GA, SC, NC, VA, MD, and DE.. moving slow enough to cause yet another round of ridiculous flooding in the SE US. SO, we need to be watching and don't dismiss her! I mean.. I dismissed Ivan and he is back! More to come the next several days.. which, by the way, will continue nice, though fog will definitely be an issue in the mornings!

Ivan will affect region in about a Week

I will be unable to alert later next week before the effects of Ivan will be felt! YES... i do think he will make a visit, and some things this morning may mean he is still a tropical storm when he hits... So Next Friday/Saturday time frame expect the system to cause rains and severe storms! Sorry it is so early! But i am out on vacation and will not have access o the Internet or email!

09/07 Heavy Rains/ Severe potential next few days

Frances, or at least what is left of her, is on a march just along or to the west of the Appalachian mountains. On this track, we will be getting hit with heavy rains, some flooding likely, and even Severe weather as strong "spin" will remain in the atmosphere. Guidance is showing 2-4 inches, but Mountainous regions (which have already seen isolated cases of 1-3" of rain the last few days) are likely to get a lot more. The Rain will really start in earnest later today and into tonight. Severe possibilities are more likely tomorrow and Thursday. The weekend is looking good, as eyes turn southward to Hurricane Ivan! Right now, I believe strongly that the system is headed for the Gulf... questions beyond this time remain.. Will he do a Charley?.. a Bonnie?... or is the threat the western or Central Gulf?... Obviously too early to tell! All for now! ===== Jimmy Chaplin of Mid Atlantic Weather. http://www.midatlanticweather.com * Get the Washington DC Weatherbook!

09/02/2004 10:40PM Frances thoughts continued

So the turn to the Northwest was not a total change in direction, but was a turn or further up the coast. Closer to Vero Beach.... The thoughts remain the same to me.. no real sense she will turn out to hit the GA coast, but I can only say it is a possibility and there needs to be some diligence on their part. Despite this, I think GA and SC will still feel the effects. What about us.. more concerned about the prospect of heavy rains here on Wednesday. Severe will also be a threat.. All I have.. Pray for those in this path and those that will be affected! ===== Jimmy Chaplin of Mid Atlantic Weather. http://www.midatlanticweather.com * Get the Washington DC Weatherbook!

09/02/2004 Frances turns.. WHY?

I am not sure, but she is definitely moving more Northwesterly than west! This means Northern FL and GA and SC need to be on alert!

09/01/2004 Thoughts on Frances

First things first. I continue to revamp www.midatlanticweather.com .. It is becoming a little overwhelming with links so soon you will see a new navigation menu! Also, the iFraming and linking should get better! Please check it out! Next.. Where will Frances go... A lot of interest in this storm due to its size and intensity. This storm is huge! Much bigger than Charley or Andrew in Areal coverage.. She is on the size of Floyd or Hugo. This one will devastate a larger portion of Florida than Charley so point blank.. the East coast of Florida needs to board up and get ready to head for higher ground! I have been asked where and why I think the storm will land where I think it will! 1. The Bermuda High is strong. the National Hurricane Center keeps noting that Frances is moving around the High and that it will weaken. If it weakens at all, Northern Florida is in for it! But now, I think Frances will likely hit Between Miami and Vero Beach (seriously thinking at about Ft. Lauderdale to West Palm Beach).. Don't take my word for it, just wanted to say it! Please stay on guarded watch ALL of FL EAST COAST! Note.. a large portion of Florida's east coast will likely see a Hurricane watch at 11:00 PM EDT 2. I do not see s slowing mechanism in front of Frances. that slowing is vital for a more northerly turn. 3. She is still far South, so I just keep having a hard time with the turn. Long term.. if she hits Southern FL I am betting she re-emerges in the Gulf.. if so, Alabama, Mississippi, and the Florida Panhandle seem the best threat for another landfall. She will not be in the "Glory" she is now, but COULD re strengthen and wow, the amount of money for her will be an unbelievable (Right now insurance companies already predict close to 20 billion dollars in losses! Remember, Charley and Andrew were smaller so the widespread damage will be amazing!) Will she affect us? Hard to say. I feel she may go west of the Appalachians, and though we could see some storms on Monday, we may not get too much.... I am just pondering, but will try and pin down more later.
