I've been on maternity leave since mid-July after my baby girl arrived. Today I want to share with you what I learned about the weather while I was gone
We try not to make big changes to the forecast on short notice, but we've seen a significant change to the weather pattern setting up Tuesday. Let's talk about what has changed and how this affects you:
One of the hardest forecasts to make each year is the one leading up to the Kentucky Derby. With so many people outside in one place all day, the weather becomes really important! And obviously the weather will dictate some of your fashion choices for outfits you may have been planning for months by this point.
Let's talk about one of the winter "predictors"... the persimmon seed. Persimmon seeds have been used to forecast how cold and snowy the upcoming winter will be for a long time. Many people would put the persimmon seeds and the woolly worms at the top of the winter weather forecasting folklore
A few showers and patches of drizzle are still holding up in our area Saturday evening, but those should clear out and dry up overnight. The clouds may not be so easy to get rid of.
In the last couple weeks there have been claims on social media that someone is able to predict an upcoming earthquake, and some of you have even asked whether that is possible. Especially considering how close we are to the New Madrid fault and how long it's been since the last big earthquake.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration released it's official outlook for the 2021 hurricane season today.
Have you seen the viral video asking, "What is something you found out late in life that you should have known earlier but you just didn't?" @sydjkell on TikTok posted this response that has 8 million views! She says she thought a 30% on the 7-day forecast means there's a 30% chance it's going to rain, not that there was 100% confidence it would rain but only over 30% of the area.
After D-Day we came to realize how important the weather forecast is in combat situations. Years before that, though, the Weather Bureau (now the National Weather Service) stopped distributing forecasts in the interest of national security after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
