2. Hurricane Larry is a Category 1 hurricane. Larry is south of the Cabo Verde Islands. We must watch where Larry goes because this hurricane may eventually make it to the US as a Category 3.

3. A small area of low pressure is disorganized. It is near Nicaragua. I give it a small chance of development.

Hazards Summary: Some river or stream flooding is possible due to all the rain.

Notable Amounts: In all I got 2.50 inches of rain from Ida.

Tropical Forecast: We have four areas to watch. 

1. Tropical Depression Ida will impact our area today into tomorrow, it will bring heavy rain to the Northeast. It will then merge with a front and be swept away. 

2. Tropical Depression Kate is in the middle of the Atlantic. It poses little threat, it will also slowly weaken.

3. Tropical Storm Larry is south of the Cabo Verde Islands. We must monitor where is goes to determine if it will make it to the US. 

4. A broad area of low pressure is disorganized. It is in the Caribbean Sea. I give it a small chance of development.  

Hazards Summary: Heavy rain will lead to flash flooding. The potential of flash flooding increases as you go south. In all 3 to 6 inches is expected, with isolated higher amounts.

Notable Amounts: None.

Anything to Mention: Have an amazing day.

I just wanted to put out a quick note that the rainfall forecast seems to have a lot of rain falling very quickly tomorrow night. So I am concerned of the flooding potential. 2-4 inches is expected in all, however if the Remnants of Ida move farther north we could expect 4-6 inches of rain. Also 3 quarters of what we will be getting in all will fall tomorrow night. Finally a flash flood watch is now issued for all of Berkshire County from tomorrow afternoon to Thursday afternoon. Have a good night.

Nor’easters are not named because they always impact the Northeast. It is actually that their wind comes from the northeast of it‘s low pressure center. So it is just a coincidence that they impact the Northeast.

Welcome: Good morning, flash flood watches have been issued for Southern Berkshire County from tomorrow afternoon to Thursday afternoon.

Today: Partly sunny. 

Temperature: Highs in the upper 70s. Lows in the upper 50s.

Wind: 5 mph, increasing to 10 mph.

Day 3: Mostly cloudy.

Temperature: Highs in the upper 60s. Lows in the lower 50s.

Wind: 5 to 10 mph, with gusts to 20 mph.

Precipitation: Rain before the afternoon.

Next Week’s Forecast: Nothing major expected at the moment.

Temperature: At average.

Precipitation: Slightly above average.


Tropical Forecast: We have four areas to watch. 

1. Tropical Depression Ida will impact our area tomorrow and Thursday. Heavy rain is likely, Ida will then turn subtropical and leave the region because of an incoming frontal system.

2. Tropical Storm Kate is in the middle of the Atlantic. It poses little threat to anyone other than sailors near it.

3. A low pressure system is producing organized showers and thunderstorms. It is southeast of the Cabo Verde Islands. I give it a yes or 100% at development.

Hazards Summary: Heavy rain and gusty winds may cause very isolated power outages.

Notable Amounts: I got 1.22 inches of rain from yesterday‘s thunderstorms.

Anything to Mention: Have an amazing day.

Welcome: Today will be a report on how Ida will impact us. Good evening.

Timing: Wednesday through Thursday.

Wind: Gusts up to 20 mph.

Rain: Widespread 2 to 4 inches. Very isolated amounts of 6 inches. Flash flooding will be scattered.

Tornado: Unlikely, 1 isolated spin up possible.

Summary: Lots of heavy rain will impact travel, do not go through flooded roads, have a good night.

Welcome: Today will be a report on how Ida will impact us. Thank you to all who donated and supported my work yesterday. Also good evening.

Timing: Ida will start impacting us Wednesday and continue through Thursday.

Wind: Winds will not really be a threat unless the storm restrengthens into a subtropical storm or extratropical storm. Also if it moves north or if the pressure gradient between the high pressure and low pressure strengthens. So just gust up to 25 mph.

Rain: Isolated to scattered flash flooding because of the previous rain from Henri and Fred. Widespread 2 to 4 inches. Isolated amounts of 4 to 6 inches.

Tornado: Very isolated tornados if we are on the east side of the storm.

Summary: This storm will mainly bring lots of rain, heavy rain bands with gusty winds are possible. Power outages will be isolated. Have a good night.
