| 12/10/2008 | A burning question: How are resources deployed to fight wildfires? |
|
I came across an interesting article about how decisions are made by the Los Angeles Fire Department to pre-deploy resources during times of high wildfire hazard. Certainly this is a timely issue as the first significant Santa Ana event of the season is underway and is expected to last through at least Tuesday morning. In order to pinpoint locations at greatest risk for wildfires, the LAFD matches fuel moisture readings (the drier the vegetation, the... |
|
| 12/10/2008 | Q: How can snow fall when the temperature is above freezing? |
|
A: Remember that snow forms in the clouds, where the temperature can be much colder than at the ground. Whether snowflakes reach the ground as snow, sleet or rain depends on the temperature and humidity of the layers of air through which they fall. As a general rule, snow won’t form if the ground temperature is 41°F or higher. -- Bob Swanson For more online or to ask questions, go to askweatherguys.usatoday.com |

| 12/10/2008 | Heard of "carbon sinks?" What about "mercury sinks?" |
|
Perhaps you are familiar with the term, "carbon sink," which often comes up in climate change/global warming debates, particularly when discussing whether oceans and forests are a source for carbon in the atmosphere or a storehouse for carbon. Well, this post has nothing to do with the global warming debate. In fact it is about cold spots -- cold spots that I'd like to call "mercury sinks." Reader Trent McCotter, who keeps a careful eye... |

While snow will be heaviest in the higher terrain of the northern Rockies, accumulations will continue from northern Utah through eastern Idaho, much of Wyoming and Montana, as well as the western Dakotas. An additional foot of snow will be possible for... |

The rain and snow will spread into the northern Plains on Saturday. Chilly temperatures are... |

After that, the storm is expected to weaken as it heads for Baja California, but is still forecast to make landfall late Friday or early Saturday as a Category 2 storm. Norbert will weaken rapidly as it moves into mainland Mexico. Tropical Storm... |

|
| 08/10/2008 | Q: How can you determine if there will be dew overnight? |
|
A: The same conditions that can create fog can also result in dew formation. Clear skies and light winds allow surface temperatures to drop rapidly during the overnight hours. If the air temperature cools to the dew point temperature you can get fog. You can also get dew or, if the dew point temperature is below freezing, frost. Usually for areas away from water, a limiting factor is available moisture. The amount of water vapor... |

In music, artists such as Lou Christie have a knack for crafting hits that seem to strike from out of the blue. Weather has often figured into Lou Christie's songwriting and his success. His biggest hit, Lightning Strikes, featuring... |
