KGW Meteorologist Joe Michaels: August 2007 ArchivesThe Aurigid meteor storm is nearly upon us! And the weather may cooperate. More than 2,000 years ago the comet Kiess passed by the sun, and left behind a debris trail in its wake. That debris has been drifting toward the Earth ever since, and will pass into Earth's orbit around 4:00am this Saturday morning, September 1st. So you can expect to start seeing shooting stars around 4am - or can you? Scientists have such limited ... As we quickly approach the two-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina making landfall and devastating the city of New Orleans, it seems a good time to reflect on what happened...and what's being done to be sure it never happens again. While we've seen a decent amount of sunshine this August, it still hasn't been quite as clear as you'd expect. And tomorrow - forget about seeing any sunshine! Instead, a fall-like storm is going to say hello to the Pacific Northwest! It's setting us up for some pretty interesting weather. Our average high this time of year is 80. Our average daily rainfall this time of year...a few hundreths of an inch. Basically - usually it's w...
Climate scientists unveiled the results of some of their latest climate-change research recently. And, according to the results, it's going to be a warm decade. In the previous 100 years, global temperatures have increased by an average of one degree. The new research says that in the coming 10... Hurricane Flossie is a powerful hurricane in the Pacific, with winds of 135mph tonight. That makes this storm a powerful, category-four hurricane. A monster like this has the potential to cause tremendous damage if it were to make landfall. And it's moving closer and closer to Hawaii.
This morning on a small piece of land off of Florida's east coast, the space shuttle is being fueled for a 3:36pm PDT launch slated for later today. But this time of year in Florida, thunderstorms develop nearly every afternoon. And NASA's weather criteria...those weat... Summertime is here. A time in the Northwest when the sun shines warmly...and the temperatures climb to that oh-so-pleasant range of right around 80 degrees every afternoon. At least, that's what the averages say happen during the summer here. And that's exactly what the week ahead will bring. When a large ridge of high pressure builds into the Northwest, that's when temperatures soar into the 90s and 100s. But that won't be happeni... So this blog will be a bit different for me...just my random thoughts on the world of clothing... Sounds bizarre, but hang in with me here... =) So I went out to the mall to grab some summer polos Monday night. And when I got there, searching for some summer styles for my lagging wardrobe, the pleasant customer service person directed me to the clearance rack. On the plus side, I did get some great summer polos at a great price. =)... |
