    Storm Bronagh- Atlantic Storm 2

    in Storms & Severe Weather

    Posted

    Not in my usual SE spot right now but am a few minutes East of Liverpool and from approx 1am til 1.30am the wind was immense with splatters of rainfall throughout. I thought it was a squall passing through to begin with but after 5 mins guessed it couldn't be and radar shows no squall for round here! 

    for those that do get a squall line passing, it should be a good'un just don't go outside!

    Tropical storm Bud

    At 9:14 a.m. EDT (1314 UTC) on June 11, NOAA's GOES-West satellite captured an infrared image of Bud. The image showed a well-formed storm with powerful thunderstorms tightly circling the center. However, the image also showed the eye was obscured by high clouds.

    That's the NASA report from earlier so is an interesting answer for Buds eye looking a bit strange. I don't remember seeing that visual or hearing of higher cloud obscuring before so that's a new one for me, good to know though.

    Added pic of map!

    Apologies I got fissure number wrong! It looks from this diagram to be 18 or 20, maybe both when cam pans round

    Wind event is overnight in the early hours of Thursday morning, so strap the bins down :D 

    Info on the strength and track of the storm is still updating and will be until Wednesday itself, I'm not sure but think that 22mph by the BBC is their progged average wind speed so doesn't include gust speeds! Right now it looks to be a windy night but nothing we're not used to when it's stormy although gusts could make it sound a bit crazy noisy at times.

    Don't pay too much attention to the dramatic posts in the mad Mod thread about the wind, you are better off following what is said in here for realistic info and there is a dedicated thread for these winds over in the Storm Discussion section.

    Missing word

    Hi Moogy :)

    Often when temperature 'blips' are seen it corresponds to a change in the Barometric Pressure, such readings should be widely available on the weather stations you are looking at. 

    Example : Here right now the 

    Barometer  1007.4 hPa & Steady

     and 

    Temperature  0.1°C

     

    If rain was on it's way then it would say 'Falling Rapidly' or 'Falling Slowly' and the hPa reading would be decreasing whilst the temperature would very likely be rising as the moist air moves into the cold dryer air. These are general guidelines for this time of year and are a little different during warmer weather/Summer but for the moment stick with looking for drop in Barometric Pressure when you see rise in temperature and hopefully you will begin to see the connection.

    There are likely other reasons which could effect what you have seen and those with better understanding will hopefully offer their guidance but that general rule of thumb has helped me understand what's going on before and after such temperature changes in a short space of time.

    If they do they will trigger storm Brian the first named storm didn't really do any damage that I recall and probably didn't warrant the name

    Err you mean Storm Aileen, the one that caused power loss to thousands of homes, brought down trees because they were in full leaf?

    To be fair up where you are escaped being struck but the stronger winds etc which even seemed to bamboozle the Met. Off predictions/warnings DID strike down here during the night when thankfully most were snoozing in bed and out of harms way :good:

    It wasn't the strongest of storms and had it swept through in late Autumn once trees had dropped then it may not have been named. As it was, it was very early and I do think it warranted the name due to the damage caused and thus was a fair call by Met.Off in that regard.
