We recently completed a technical review of the July 27 and August 11 extreme 100 mph wind events in NE IL and NW IN. While heavy on meteorology, we provide our insights into the mechanisms responsible for the events.
The paper can be accessed here: weather.gov/media/lot/even…
ATLANTIC HURRICANE SEASON: Officially the quietest and least on record through today since 1950.
Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) is what we use to measure the season. Think of a hurricane's category as how hard it can punch, but ACE is the score of how many rounds it stays in the ring swinging. It’s basically a storm's ultimate "stamina tracker," measuring not just how strong the winds get, but how long the beast actually lasts!
Interesting: if you were wondering, those other years ended up with the following number of hurricanes…
1994 (3)
1962 (4)
1983 (3)
2002 (4)
Point being; still quiet for the next 1-2 weeks but after that we’ll see heading into October. Fingers crossed but it has truly been uncharted waters how tame it has been this year so far, which is good!

Model spaghetti plots: select ATCF at the bottom of the list of hurricane models.
The tropics might finally wake up next week and into October. Seems like a good time, considering the heat dome over the Southeast is preventing strong shear from reaching into the Gulf. Certainly something to watch.
Yesterday, on the first day of spring, the hottest temperature ever recorded in March in the US was in Yuma, Arizona. This historic extreme heat is only a sign of what is to come this summer. #Arizona#YumaAZ
Hurricane Melissa’s name has officially been RETIRED by the World Meteorological Organization!
The storm caused significant destruction across Jamaica after undergoing an incredibly rapid period of strengthening. Recent reanalysis also revealed that Melissa’s peak intensity tied Hurricane Allen for the strongest Atlantic hurricane ever recorded in terms of wind speed!
A severe thunderstorm warning has been issued for Amarillo, #Texas until 1:00 AM CST. 1.00-inch hail and wind gusts 40-50 MPH are expected with this severe storm. #Amarillo
