Hey Kevin! A selfish question here, but getting married in Wilmington NC on September 17th. Think we'll see any more tropical storm/hurricane activity within the next 10-12 days on the Atlantic?

Hi Missy-

Congratulations! A little too early to say at this point but odds seem in your favor. Keep track here: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/

Me and my co worker are in disagreement about what time is the hottest time of the day. I say between 2 and 3 and he says 4 and 5. What's the correct answer.

Asked by Mikael almost 8 years ago

Both! Earlier in the winter and later in the summer since daylight is longer. What do I win?

It has just hailed but there is no storm in sight. It isn't even raining. How is this possible?

Asked by Irisj almost 9 years ago

I'd need a little bit more information, including location and time. That said, if you think it was not hail there is something called "graupel". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graupel

Hey Kevin! Another q for you. How do you read the Climate Predictior Cntr Global Tropics Hazards and Benefits Outlook Chart? Does each week showcase the full tropical storm path? IE Is the Sept 14-20 show whats occuring in a 6 day period? TY!

Have to admit, I've not seen this product! Thanks. Yes, it looks like that would cover the movement through that period and is good news for you!

When snow is forecast, how is it determined what the accumulation will be?

Asked by Richard Ferstandig about 7 years ago

Different computer forecast models will give guidance on the amount of liquid. Snow totals are variable based largely on the temperature profile of the atmosphere above the ground. A general rule is about 9-10 inches of snow per inch of liquid, variable based on several factors, including forecaster experience in the area. Great question.

When is the next snow going to hit Missouri?

I'm in Texas and would refer you to the National Weather Service. weather.gov
