Heavy snowfall in a warming world



Monday, February 8, 2010, 15:29 GMT



A major new winter storm is headed east over the U.S. today, and threatens to dump a foot or more of snow on Philadelphia, New York City, and surrounding regions Tuesday and Wednesday. Philadelphia is still digging out from its second top-ten snowstorm of recorded history to hit the city this winter, and the streets are going to begin looking like canyons if this week's snowstorm adds a significant amount of snow to the incredible 28.5" that fell during "Snowmageddo...

Jeff Masters' 2009 Season Overview
Jeff Masters' 2008 Season Overview





Welcome to Tropical Atlantic!
Where you can find model plots and reconnaissance data displayed in Google Earth and Google Maps.



Our site's features include an experimental reconnaissance decoder for hurricane hunter aicraft with a live tracking system for Google Earth, hurricane model plots in Google Earth, a customizeable satellite page, decoded recon archive, distance calculator, satellite image overlays for Google Earth, media files from the NOAA-AOC, and various links to hurricane related content.


Our site is now in off season mode.

Some systems are operating on a reduced schedule.


National Hurricane Center (NHC)

This is the official hurricane forecast center of the United States. If you visit one site, this is the place to go to get the latest official information. When a tropical feature has reached depression status, the front page will feature what you need to look at. Take a look at the "Public Advisory" which will appear on the front page under the heading of the tropical feature for easy to understand language. The site also features the expected track of the storm.


Navy Research Laboratory (NRL) Monterey Marine Meteorology Division: Tropical Cyclone Page

This is an excellent resource. It provides wonderful visible satellite images of current cyclones and developing disturbances. It has an incredible amount of other data. This is usually the first site you will want to visit to see if a storm is developing. Under the "Atlantic" heading in the left column, you will see something like "90L.INVEST," which is an area of disturbed weather that is being monitored. This is not yet located on the front page of the NHC site. The NRL site, often referenced as the "Navy site," will usually have these areas of investigation listed before any other site. They do not always develop. When storm reaches depression status, then it will be located on the NHC's site. These areas of disturbed weather are numbered 90 through 99. When the number 99 is reached, we go back to 90.
