While tropical weather geeks keep their eye on Tropical Storm - now Tropical Depression - Cristobal, there's been plenty of weather ation in the United States and elsewhere.

Dramatic videos are the botoom of this post. One of the shows an incredible landslide in Norway I'll get to in a minute,  

DERECHO AND SUPERCELLS

In Pennsylvania and New Jersey, a derecho swept southeastward from near Lake Erie across the Keystone State and finally off the Jersey shore during the late morning and early afternoon Wednesday.  This was followed in the late afternoon and evening by supercell thunderstorms that prompted a tornado warning in Philadelphia.

Winds gusted to 65 mph or so both during the early afternoon derecho and the evening tornado warned storm.  I don't think Philadelphia had ever previously had two 60+ mph storms on the same day.

A derecho, by the way, is a long lasting, fast moving line of severe thunderstorms that almost always cause severe wind damage. That was the case yesterday. The official definition of a derecho is a line of storms that survives over a distance of at least 240 miles and produces peak winds of at least 58 mph over most of its path.

This derecho produced winds of up to 89 mph in New Jersey, with gusts in the 65 to 80 mph range thorugh a long swath of Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

The derecho killed at least three people, including one at a golf clubhouse that was hit by an immense falling tree.  Many homes were damaged, most by falling trees. A large apartment complex lost its roof.

A derecho usually stablizes the air immediately behind it, so it was remarkable that the atmosphere recovered enough to produce those supercells over Pennsylvania and New Jersey in the evening.  Those storms just added to the damage and the power outages.

And - just what they need - more severe thunderstorms are possible today in parts of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland.

CRISTOBOL

Cristobol has been downgraded for now to a tropical depression as it meanders inland over souther Mexico.  It's still expected to take a northward turn, emerge over warm Gulf of Mexico waters, and strengthen somewhat as it moves north toward Louisiana by early Monday.

Intensity forecasts are really, really uncertain, but at least for now, it's not expected to reach hurricane status before landfall.

LANDSLIDE

The following isn't directly related to weather, but wet weather could have contributed to it.  A huge landslide 2,000 feet wide and 500 feet wide swept at least eight houses out to sea along the northern Norway coast.

Miraculously, nobody was injured, as most of the houses were vacation places and people had left after the weekend.  A dog was rescued in the afternmath of the landslide.  Scroll down a ways for the incredible video.

Here are some videos, first with scenes from the Pennsylvania storms:

Let's go overseas to Chcchnya, which had its own battle with severe weather:



Here's the Norway landslide. I was oddly rooting for the big white house to survive, but I knew that was impossible

Flooding From Storm "Melissa" Is Worrying Sign Of Future Trouble

to offshore Tropical Storm Melissa and sea level

A storm that turned into Subtropical Storm Melissa and then Tropical Storm Melissa has been spinning off the East Coast of the United States for the past week.

During this time, the strong winds from the storm have been pushing water into the shore, causing some coastal flooding from Maine to Florida.

The flooding wasn't super destructive, as floods go, but it was in the way, and caused damage, and was a general nuisance.

This is another ominous example of the rising number of so-called "nuisance" floods along the coast, brought on in large part by yes, climate change.

One disconcerting thing about this Melissa thing is that this wasn't exactly "Storm of the Century" spinning out there. It was powerful, but nothing that out of the ordinary.

True, it was there for an unusually long time, which meant the storm had a long chance to keep piling water up against the East Coast.

Also true was a high pressure system to the north of Melissa - the one that brought most of us here in Vermont some spectacular fall weather - also helped steer water and waves against the coast.

So those were contributing factors. But really. A strong but not all that unusual storm causing such flooding bodes poorly for the future. Especially since astronomical tides this week were pretty low. If there had been a full or new moon during Melissa, there would have been even bigger trouble.

This flooding wasn't just making for narrow beaches and wet ground underfoot. Some people had to be rescued from homes in flood prone coastal Sea Bright, New Jersey, NBC Philadelphia reported.

By Saturday, as Melissa was finally getting ready to depart, the moon was much closer to full, so that, in combination of the storm, sent ocean water into downtown Annapolis, Maryland, says the Baltimore Sun.

The Charlotte Observer says that on Cape Hatteras, waves trapped cars on Route 12, which had to be closed, and caused flooding in Avon, Buxton and other towns on Cape Hatteras.

Splashover and some flooding was reported in coastal New England, too.

All this is going to get worse in the future as sea levels continue to rise. Already, in places like Miami, when astronomical tides are high, there is some flooding even when there is no storm anywhere near Florida.

Along parts of the East Coast, this is double trouble because not only is the sea level rising, but land is sinking due to natural processes.

The East Coast, of course, has always had coastal flooding, battering waves and erosion from storms. Those nor'easters and hurricanes will always keep happening. But as time goes by and sea levels keep going up, those nor'easters and other storms will have more and more power to cause worse and worse coastal flooding because the ocean is higher to begin with, even before the storm.

The destruction will be especially bad when we get the inevitable super storm, like the extreme New England hurricanes of 1815 and 1938;  the Ash Wednesday super nor'easter of 1962 or the Perfect Storm from 1991.

As lovely as large swaths of the East Coast can be, I'm certainly not going to invest in oceanfront property.  I have to wonder about insurance, the economy and survival of coastal communities will be like in coming decades.

Heat Wave's End Causes Lots Of Severe Weather, Except In Vermont

Clouds tried to build over St. Albans during the heat wave
this past weekend, but the triggers weren't there to set off
much in the way of real storms.

Toward the end of a big heat wave, severe thunderstorms often break the heat.

That was certainly true with the just-ended heat wave. Tornadoes and derechos in the upper Midwest over the weekend prompted a state of emergency in Wisconsin, where hundreds of acres of forest were leveled by straight line winds that probably exceeded 100 mph in spots.

Storms in the Mid-Atlantic states and southern New England that ended the heat caused widespread tree damage and flash flooding.  Wind gusts hit as high as 80 mph in a couple spots.

There was even a tornado warning for a time on Cape Cod last night.

It all went around Vermont. True, far southern Vermont got a nice soaker yesterday, with rainfall totals exceedeing two inches. But there were very few reports of severe weather. Maybe an isolated incident or two Saturday evening, but that's about it.

That Vermont escaped the storms was probably just dumb luck.  The timing and set up of the cold front around us just wasn't right to trigger lots of big storms this time. Unlike much of the rest of tje nation, the Green Mountain State has so far had a mellow severe storm season. There have just not been that many damaging storms.

Of course, summer isn't over yet so we can still get hit. We do know that there's nothing major coming our way through the next week or so. It will turn very warm and humid again by the weekend, which are good ingredients for storms.

But like last weekend, there will be no real triggers to set off storms, so there will only be a few isolated storms. At least that's the way it looks now.

Some videos:

Here's the storm destruction in Post Lake, Wisconsin:



Acres and acres of forests leveled in northern Wisconsin:

inside after the conclusion of this video:



This brief video looks like the midst of a hurricane, but it was a New Jersey severe storm:



News report here gives a pretty good summary of how things went in New Jersey and New York:

Stormy Weather, So Stormy Videos Naturally Pop Up

Storm damage around Dallas-Fort Worth yesterday.

As I've repeatedly mentioned in this here blog thingy, it's been awfully stormy and wet and sometimes dangerous in many parts of the nation this spring and early summer.

Things continued on pace like this through the past weekend. So of course there's videos.

The Dallas-Fort Worth area got hit by severe storms for the second Sunday in a row.  Possible tornadoes caused damage in and around Fort Worth.

In this video, people probably should not have been standing outdoors. This shows a wall cloud that eventually produced a tornado after this video was shot.  Scary seeing this come at you, huh?



Here's LOTS of hail in Colorado:



It's not just the United States. Check out this video from southern France as a motorist encounters an intensifying hailstorm. A crack appears in the windshield, then things get dramatically worse:



Back in the United States, tornados extended to as far as the East Coast.  Here's a twister last Thursday re-arranging a back yard and pool area in Mullica Hill, New Jersey.

You'd Think It Would Finally Rain In Vermont With This Humidity, But Everyone Else Getting It Instead

Showers are few and far between today in Vermont, but the showers
that do form are giving the sky the appearance of something you'd see
over a Caribbean island. Which isn't surprising, since this really
is pure tropical air. 

It's another oppressively warm, incredibly humid day here in Vermont.

Once again, I cut short outdoor work because the sun, combined with the humidity was too much for me.

I originally thought - as did many forecasters - that today would be a cloudier, more showery day than recent ones.

Especially in northern Vermont, where we still really need the rain. And I would have been willing to work outside under clouds with this humidity, without the glaring heat of the sun.

And I would have been willing to work outside in these temperatures and the sun, if the humidity were lower. Rain showers would have further cooled me off out there.

It was not to be. It seems every time northern Vermont seems finally ready to get some decent rains, something interferes.

This time, it's an upper level low stuck to our southwest. In the upper levels of the atmosphere, drier air wrapped around this low, and went south to north in a corridor that took it right across Vermont.

Sure, with this awful humidity near the surface, there's bound to be some local showers and storms. One tiny cell formed in Milton early this afternoon and traveled north right along Interstate 89 all the way to Highgate.

Meanwhile, flash flooding is so bad in Pennsylvania today that a
building housing the New Albany library sadly washed away.
Thankfully, two people in an apartment on the second floor
of the building were rescued before the structure
entirely broke apart. 

When I got home to St. Albans, Vermont early this afternoon,  things outside were wet, so at least I got a little needed rain out of the deal, while lots of other people didn't.

Most showers and storms that form the rest of this afternoon over and near Vermont will get going over the mountains and pretty much stay there. We lack any real wind in the atmosphere, so there's nothing to push them along.

Because showers and storms will be such slow movers, isolated spots in the state could get torrential downpours and gullywashers.

If any particular storm gets especially tall, there's barely enough wind in the upper atmosphere to push them into valleys. Most valley locations won't get rain the rest of the this afternoon and evening, but there's hope a few will.

The tropical air looks really, well, tropical. I swear the sky over the Green Mountain State today looks more like we're on a Caribbean island and not in northern New England.

The next chance of widespread, meaningful rain in northern Vermont will come along Friday and Saturday, but I'm guessing, just as we repeatedly experienced all summer, some complication will come along to prevent that anticipated precipitation.

Meanwhile, so many people under and close to that upper low I talked about are getting, way, way too much rain. Flash flooding has been an enormous problem since Saturday in these areas, especially in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and that state of affairs continues this afternoon.

The flash flooding continues today, especially along the Pennsylvania/New York border near Elmira and Binghamton. It's gotten so bad a building housing a library in New Albany, Pennsylvania literally washed away in the flood.

It continues: Some people are getting way too much rain, and not that far way, other people are not getting enough. Too bad we don't have the power to redistribute it.

Flooding Caused Havoc In Many Areas Over The Weekend

It seemed like the theme in weather news the past several days has shifted a bit from heat to flood.

Severe flooding striking India in recent days. 

Sure, heat waves are going on at a brisk pace, if I dare use the word "brisk." Here in Vermont, Burlington on Sunday had its 25th consecutive day of 80 degree weather, which ties the record for the longest such spell.

It's likely to reach 80 degrees in Burlington today.

It got cloudy in Vermont Sunday, sort of a side effect of that aforementioned flooding. Those were the outer clouds of storms that caused flooding in parts of southern New England and the Mid-Atlantic states Sunday.

I'll get to that in a moment, but I should lead with flooding that was worse and deadlier than anything that happened in the United States.

Monsoon flooding happens most years in India, but at least in one section of that nation, the flooding in recent days was described as "unprecedented."

At least 37 people died and about 40,000 people were evacuated from the tourist area called the Malabar Coast, reports CNN.

Elsewhere, severe flooding also hit the Philippines. One viral video shows a wedding NOT canceled in a flooded church as the bride and her family waded through the murky water to the alter. The show must go on.

In Texas, eight or nine inches of rain fell in just three hours west of San Antonio. More than two dozen people had to be rescued via helicopter. No serious injuries were reported.

In Massachusetts, a torrential storm flooded some areas.

The hardest hit area was around Lynn, where a thunderstorm stalled Sunday, dumping eight inches of rain on that community. Many if not most streets in Lynn were closed by high water and many homes flooded.

In New Jersey, where yesterday I showed you that viral video of cars floating down a river, flood damage in some areas was the worst since Hurricane Floyd in 1999, says NorthJersey.com

The inside of some houses in Little Falls were flooded to a depth of up to four feet. In Bogota, New Jersey, a bride in her wedding dress and the groom were rescued from a flooded car. Seems like the flooding liked to attack weddings. I see a theme going on in this report.

The flooding goes on. Flash flooding was ongoing this morning in eastern Pennsylvania and, again, New Jersey. The heavy rain is expected to go on all day, and the flooding will become more widespread.

Here in Vermont, it looks like there will be increasing areas of rain as we get into Tuesday and Tuesday night. Some of the rain might be heavy in some spots in the Green Mountain State, but no widespread flooding is in the forecast.

Another Vermont Heat Record Might Be Set Today. And WIld New Jersey Flood Vis

While summer warmth grinds on up here in Vermont,
flash flooding swept these cars away in
New Jersey Saturday.

We've set all kinds of heat records around these parts this summer and it looks like we might be about to tie, then break another one.  

If the temperature in Burlington, Vermont reaches 80 degrees today, we'll tie the record for the most consecutive days in which the temperature has reached that level.

That would be 25 days, which is how many consecutive 80s there were between July 22 and August 15, 1988.

It'll be close, but we might make it today. The forecast high today in Burlington is precisely 80 degrees. If it's a little cloudier than expected, we might not reach 80. A little extra sun would bring us above that magic number.

If we get to 80 today the streak will likely continue. The forecast high on Monday is 83 degrees. Tuesday's forecast is 81, Wednesday is 83, Thursday is 81. At this point, the forecast for Friday is 79 degrees, which would end the streak.

But we don't know that for sure.  On any of these days listed, the temperature in Burlington could easily be a few degrees below or above the forecasts. It depends on the timing of clouds, showers, and unexpected changes in the forecast for oncoming weather systems.

The upcoming weather systems in question continue to promise a humid week for us, with scattered showers and thunderstorms daily starting today and going through the week. Any showers or storms today will be widely scattered at best. Most of us won't see one. But if any develop, they will be slow movers. Whoever gets a storm might get a lot of rain from it.

At this point, the wettest day looks like it will be Tuesday. But again, some places will get little rain, some places will get drenched. It's all the roll of the dice.

This wet weather pattern really hit New Jersey and other sections of metro New York, the Mid-Atlantic states and a few places in southern New England Saturday.

Flash flood warnings were flying in different areas in the region all day. Some floods caused quite a bit of damage. Below is a video of a flash flood in Passaic, New Jersey swiping cars from an auto dealership, sending them downstream and crashing into a bridge and each other.

WILD Nor'easter For Some; Meh For Others. Sifting Through The Reports

The scene in Morristown, New Jersey yesterday.

Sorry for the last start with this post here on Thursday morning, but I'm finally getting my act together.

What a storm last night!!  What, you only got some light snow? Yeah, me too.

A grand total of 2.9 inches new in my yard at St. Albans, in northwestern Vermont. We will get some more snow out of this in northern Vermont. More on that in a while.

But first:

The general forecast of who would get a lot of snow and who would get a little panned out, but the people who got the heavy snow really got it. And some of the people were were expecting lighter accumulations didn't get much at all.

 t was a snowstorm to remember in some parts of the Northeast.  There's a couple videos at the bottom of this post, by the way.

Here in Vermont, Woodford, in the far southern Green Mountains, clocked in with a whopping 36 inches of snow. Searsburg got 32.5 inches. Landgrove and Wilmington got 25 inches.

In a band from New Jersey through areas near New York City, the lower Hudson Valley, Connecticut,  western Massachusetts, and, yes, the far southern Green Mountains, it was absolutely wild yesterday afternoon and last night.

Thundersnow was very common in New Jersey up through the Big Apple and into Connecticut. One woman in New Jersey was hospitalized after she was struck by lightning. It's the first time I can remember somebody being injured by lightning in thundersnow.  

Incredible snowfall rate, Springfield, Pennsylvania.

One death was reported so far with this storm, that of an 88 year old woman hit by a falling tree.

The incredible snowfall south of Vermont in many areas was very wet and heavy. More than a million people lost electricity, after last week's nor'easter cut power to more than two million.

More than 3,000 flights were canceled. The heaviest snow hit during the afternoon rush hour in and near the big cities, so there were lots of trapped cars, crashes and other highway nightmares.

Snowfall totals outside the southern Green Mountains were also incredibly impressive - 32 inches was reported from Clarksburg, Massachusetts, with North Adams, Massachusetts close at 30 inches. In Connecticut, 28 inches was reported in Warren. In New Jersey, 26.8 inches was reported at Montville.

It was the rate of snowfall that really crushed some areas and gummed up the works.  One town in the Massachusetts Berkshires got 18 inches of new snow in three hours - that's six inches per hour!

STORM OVER, EXCEPT IN NORTH 

The storm is pretty much over from Massachusetts and far southern Vermont and points south all the way down into the New Jersey storm zone.

Things will keep cranking today in northern New England, especially in Maine and New Hampshire, where many places will get at least half a foot of new snow today.

Here in Vermont, it looks like it will keep snowing in most of the central and northern Vermont the rest of the day today.

In fact, it looks like the snow might pick up a bit in intensity this afternoon, with another two to six inches of snow likely. (We could easily double the amount of snow we've gotten so far in St. Albans, for example.)

Light snow will probably continue on and off Friday, Friday night and maybe into Saturday across northern Vermont, too, with a little additional accumulation.

By the way, the early and middle parts of next week in Vermont look interesting, too. By "interesting" I mean we could get more snow. I have no idea how much yet.

Some videos:

CBS New York has this report of how awful it was out there on I-280 in East Orange, New Jersey and other areas. Even their news van took a minor hit:



Thundersnow in Moorestown, New Jersey:

Weird, Challenging Nor'easter Snowstorm Continues To Keep Forecasters On Toes

Extremely heavy snow falling in Bucks
County, Pennsylvania today. There were
widespread reports of thundersnow and
snowfall rates of at least two inches per hour

The long-promised nor'easter is now well underway in the Northeast, and it's continuing to frustrate the heck of out many meteorologists.

Early runs of computer models a few days before this storm were remarkably consistent in forecasting what this thing would do. Those same models have been all over the place - not knowing what to predict - as the storm got underway.

That's the opposite of how it usually works out. Forecasts usually get more accurate as we get closer to the storm. Not this time, really.

Broad brush: The latest trends suggest northwest Vermont will get a little less snow than we were thinking last night. As I say that, parts of New Jersey, southern New York and inland southern New England are getting blasted even more than many forecasters thought.

The bad news is this worst of the storm seems to be hitting New Jersey, the New York City metro area and on up into the lower Hudson Valley and Connecticut right at rush hour today.

Things weren't too bad earlier today in that neck of the woods, so a lot of people went to work. Now that it's time to go home, YIKES!

Snow late this afternoon is coming down at a rate of two to three inches per hour, which is amazing. Visibility sucks. And since temperatures are near 32, that wet snow compacts under car tires to create slick ice, then deep accumulations pile up on top of that. And throw in some lightning and thunder to make things really dramatic.

By the way, there's LOTS of thundersnow in New Jersey, southern New York and Connecticut. More than I've seen in a nor'easter in a long time.

Yeah, just try driving in that crap.

Additionally, this is very wet, heavy snow down there. A lot of trees and power lines are coming down.

Those bands of heavy snow are, as expected, moving north into northern New England, but the question is, how intense will the snow be tonight, given the latest computer guidance that the storm will go a little further east than earlier anticipated?

One band of snow moved northward through Vermont this morning and early afternoon, laying down a half inch ot an inch and a half of snow. But it's March, and when a weak sun temporarily struggled through the clouds, most of that melted.

The bigger band will come through tonight, so there's no snow to cause any melting

An initial band of snow with the current nor'easter dropped
0.7 inches of snow on my property in St. Albans, Vermont
late this morning and early this afternoon, but the
higher sun angle in March meant that a lot of it
melted when the sun struggled to come through the clouds

So the latest thought is that anything in Vermont east of a line from Middlebury to Newport can still expect at least six inches of snow by the end of the day Thursday. In the Champlain Valley, it may - or may not - end up being a little less than that.

It depends upon how the northward moving snow bands hold together.

The National Weather Service office in South Burlington, Vermont has a fairly doubtful outlook on this, so they've downgraded winter storm warnings in the Champlain Valley to winter weather advisories. 

They're saying four to six inches - total - in the Champlain Valley. They're probably right, but this storm has held so many surprises that I'm not counting on that forecast, even though we're right at the cusp of the storm starting, when we're supposed to know what's going on.

I guess just expect lousy travel conditions overnight and on Thursday morning as we deal with this snow.

It still looks like whatever snow we get will get lighter during the day Thursday, but it will continue off and on into Saturday. There will be light additional accumulations each day through Saturday up here in Vermont, but nothing spectacular.

In the warmer valleys, there will also probably be a small amount of melting as temperatures rise just above freezing, and the stronger solar radiation in March will get through the clouds.

Speaking of computer forecasting models not knowing what's next: Nobody has any idea what the frig the weather will be like early next week. I guess we'll have to wait to find out.

Newly Released Video Shows Hurricane Sandy Drama On New Jersey Beach

Video still of Sandy's assault on a barrier island
in New Jersey five years ago

The epic windstorm we had on Sunday and Monday came right around the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Sandy, which of course was a much worse storm, especially in New Jersey and the New York metro area.

As public radio station WHYY reports, somebody with the handle Bartski released on YouTube a fascinating video of the Sandy's approach, hit and aftermath on Normandy Beach, New Jersey, a barrier island that was under mandatory evacuation.

However, "Bartski" stayed behind to watch the storm, which was foolhardy. (Kind of like my husband, who stayed at a beach house in Rhode Island during the Perfect Storm in 1991. In that case, he awoke the morning after the storm to find that enormous boulders placed in front of the house had washed away.)

Anyway, the video show the orange glow of a fire that destroyed many cottages nearby. It also shows the worsening storm, with water coming onto the streets. The wildest and saddest parts of the video are near the end, which shows the destruction the next morning.

The video is 15 minutes long, but totally worth the view:

Oklahoma Comes To New England

@Lozak_Jr.  

As expected, Oklahoma style weather came to New England and other parts of the Northeast on Tuesday.

The region experience a number of tornado watches and warnings, wall clouds, hail, big winds and other staples of the type of weather more common in the Great Plains spring and summer.

As of early this morning, there were no confirmed reports of tornado touchdowns.

However, local National Weather Service offices in Connecticut, New Jersey and elsewhere are investigating pockets of heavy damage to see whether they were caused by tornadoes or straight line winds.

One area of damage is North Haven, Connecticut, where television station WTNH reports several homes severely damaged, evacuated and condemned by the extreme winds. 

A video you'll see below shows what appears to be a tornado at Long Beach Island, New Jersey, and there were other reports of possible tornadoes in New Jersey, and possibly Maryland and Virginia.

Fisher on Twitter.  

In and around Gloucester, New Jersey, a possible tornado overturned at least one car in a mall parking lot, and a number of homes and businesses were damaged, says NJ.com.

Tens of thousands of people were still without power in much of the Northeast Wednesday morning.

This weather was extreme for the Northeast but not unprecedented. There have been even stronger tornadoes in the past, such as the June 1, 2011 EF-3 tornado in Springfield, Brimfield, and Monson, Mass., and the epic Worcester County, Massachusetts tornado that killed dozens of people and flattened large neighborhoods in June, 1953.

The weather is much calmer in New England today, with maybe just a few widely scattered garden variety showers and thunderstorms in parts of northern New England this afternoon.

But no rest for the weary elsewhere. Parts of the northern Plains and Midwest, pummeled by a derecho and destructive tornadoes Monday are under the gun again today.

Severe storms, tornadoes, and flooding are likely in this area. Severe weather continues in parts of teh Midwest tomorrow, too.

Here's that video of a possible tornado in Long Beach Island, New Jersey:




And here's Tuesday's rough weather in Baltimore County, Maryland:
