The Berkshire Weather Podcast has been released, please look below and follow it to get podcast updates. I hope you all enjoy.

Welcome: Good morning. We have a severe thunderstorm risk today, a possible area of tropical development that may affect us, and another risk of severe weather on Wednesday. But it is to far out to get into Wednesday just yet.

Timing: Today in the afternoon, and early evening.

Amount Of Thunderstorms: Isolated to scattered severe and non-severe thunderstorms today.

Tornados: An isolated tornado may be possible in the southwestern most parts of Berkshire County.

Hail: Small hail will be scattered. Severe hail of 1 inch in diameter or greater will be isolated.

Wind: Isolated to scattered severe wind gusts of 58 mph or greater. Gusty winds of under severe criteria may also be possible in any thunderstorm.

Flooding: Isolated flash flooding possible.

Tropical Info: An area of of low pressure will form near the Bahamas. It will then move northwest. The key questions is a cold front will be moving in and how far south this cold front will go before moving away. If it does not bring the area of low pressure with it out to sea, we may have to watch the area to see if it develops into a tropical system. I give it a medium chance to develop.

Anything Else: Have an amazing day.

Welcome: Good evening, we have a severe thunderstorm risk for tomorrow.

Timing: Tomorrow afternoon.

Amount Of Thunderstorms: Numerous basic thunderstorms, with lots of cloud to ground lightning. Isolated to widely scattered severe thunderstorms possible.

Tornados: 1 or 2 very weak tornados possible.

Hail: Small hail will be scattered. Severe hail of 1 inch in diameter or greater will be isolated.

Wind: Isolated severe wind gusts of 58 mph or greater.

Flooding: Isolated flash flooding possible.

Anything Else: This severe event will be more isolated than numerous, it will be likely to see thunderstorms but less likely to see severe thunderstorms tomorrow. Be careful. Have a good night.

Welcome: Good morning. Summer is moving away as fall moves in. Also today is the statistical peak of Hurricane Season. So hooray! We almost are done with hurricanes and can move on to snow storms. Enough of my rambling let’s get to the forecast…

TEMPERATURE: Far above average.

PRECIPITATION: Above average.

Tropical Forecast: We have three areas to watch. 

1. Hurricane Larry will be nearing southeastern Newfoundland. Larry will bring heavy rain, storm surge, and hurricane force winds to parts of Newfoundland. Then Larry will become subtropical or post-tropical. Dangerous rip currents and high waves will be along the Northeast coasts’ today.

2. The northern most part of a tropical wave is producing some showers and thunderstorms. It is currently over Honduras. I give it a medium chance of development. 

3. A strong tropical wave is expected to move off of Africa’s west coast. It will move towards the Cabo Verde Islands. I give it a high chance of development.

Notable Amounts: None.

Anything to Mention: Have an amazing day.

Welcome: Good morning. This week will begin to feel like autumn as the temperatures will mainly be in the low 70s. The storms were not as bad as I expected but I could still hear the wind last night.

TEMPERATURE: Above average.

PRECIPITATION: Slightly above average.

Tropical Forecast: We have four areas to watch. 

1. Hurricane Larry will be nearing Bermuda in the coming hours. Larry will bring rough surf and a rip current risk to most of the eastern seaboard of the US. Larry will then go into parts of Canada and become subtropical.

2. Tropical Depression Mindy formed late yesterday as Tropical Storm Mindy. This storm made landfall in the Florida Panhandle quickly after forming. Mindy has weakened into a Tropical Depression and will likely remain weak as if moves out of Florida and to sea.

3. There is a tropical wave that is expected to form. This will be over the Bay of Campeche. I give it a small chance of development.

4. A tropical wave is expected to move off of Africa’s west coast. It will then move near the Cabo Verde Islands. I give it a medium chance of development.

Notable Amounts: I got 0.88 of an inch of rain from yesterday’s storms.
