Dolores-induced moisture will arrive in the Los Angeles metropolitan area this weekend, bring the chance of a shower or thunderstorm during the afternoon hours on Saturday and Sunday. “Some areas may receive up to .25 inches of rain this weekend in the area,” AccuWeather Meteorologist Rebecca Elliot said. “The heaviest rain will remain to the far east of the city with flash flooding being a concern in the desert region.” Residents should expect low clouds in the morning hours, which may cause some flight delays at Los Angeles International Airport. Temperatures will hover in be in the low to mid-80 F through Sunday, which is slightly above average for this time of year. The average high for Los Angeles in the mid-July is 82 F. Baseball fans
When the air parcel rises in the troposphere, the more energy transfer. The reason why the energy transfers is because the water vapor must have an equivalent temp to the surrounding air. More energy causes it to have more evaporation transferring more water vapor to the surrounding air. As the energy transfer occurs, the water vapor gets through condensation and turns to liquid water. The higher the parcel gets, the colder it is in the surrounding air which causes the water to condense and come out as rain. This is important because when the temperature of the air parcel is higher, it will rise higher in the troposphere and the higher the cloud is in the troposphere, the more rain that will fall. Also, the modeling tool tells us that storms 2 and 3 had all the same factors ( water vapor, troposphere temperature and surface water) but, the parcel temperature, was higher in storm 3 which caused it to have more rain. Lastly, the reason why the weather has been acting up is the new lake. The lake is causing more evaporation (the process by which a liquid changes into a gas). This is important because the more evaporation there is, the more condensation (the process by which a gas changes into a
A major problem in Southern California is that Los Angeles experiences very little rain all year, followed by intense downpours that last less than one day (53). Its unreliable rainfall severely hurts the region. In Northern California, mountains such as the Sierra Nevada allow for a huge range in rainfall over a short distance. “…a place on the western slope of the range may receive eighty or so inches of precipitation in a year, while a place on the east slope, fifty miles away, may receive ten inches or less” (58).
For the past two days the clouds have come out at 3 pm and it has started raining at 3:15 pm. Testable (This is a tough one)
On the Gulf side of Florida, with an average temperature of 81 degrees in the summer and 61 degrees in the winter, Land O'Lakes provides the perfect climate for year-round activities for the entire family. There's always something to do.
right now It is having one of the longest droughts ever recorded. This is causing mandatory restrictions of water for people in LA. Primary water sources are disappearing fast for LA. Luckily an el Nino is happening. When an el nino is happening La’s region tends to get more rainfall than normal and because the warm air over the ocean that brings moisture in the air and because of this they are getting a lot more rain than if it wasn’t happening. But even that isn’t helping enough it is very unusual that the amount of rainfall is so low considering it is one of the largest el Nino’s since 1950. Also the el Nino is making La hotter than usual because it brings hot air which heats the ocean which tends to make LA hotter. This isn’t the only thing happening with the weather of Los angeles. Average temperatures in California rose nearly two degrees Fahrenheit during the second half of the 20th century. That is a big change for that little amount of time.
The fifty-three resident who live in the rural southern farming town of Wrongberight are expecting another deluge early Saturday night. They pray that it is nothing in comparison to the one that struck on Friday afternoon. It lasted ten hours, and added an additional eight inches of rain to the already saturated farmer’s fields and woodlands.
DALLAS - Endless amounts rain and thunderstorms have hit North Texas after what many called pleasant weather last week. Over 16 inches of rain has fallen and flash flood warnings will continue throughout the week. Some areas in Texas have received hail the size of baseballs, according to officials. Storms have inconvenienced not only those who drive to school, but those who have classes in portables as well.
Flash floods, mud slides and costal water rises are expected to occur in the states of Colima, Guerrero, Jaslisco and Michoacan that could last even into Saturday’s weather conditions. The nastiest weather conditions expected to be created by Hurricane Patricia, the strongest hurricane on record, are likely to be on Friday afternoon and evening, rain that could end up falling between six and 12 inches and even in some areas to 20 inches in the higher altitudes, according to
3) A heavy rain pour down the city of Houston on June 19, 2006. According to the article from NBC news, there was a lot of cars stall and many neighborhoods flooded. There was as much as, “10.5 inches of rain reported,” and in some areas there was six inches of rain which caused delays in airports. The Houston city is no stranger to floods yet the amount of rain that poured as such little time was surprising.
Every winter the Central Valley experiences radiation fog that forms across the area. The Central Valley in California has ideal conditions for radiation fog to form. The valley is between a coastal mountain range on the West Coast and on the east side is where the Sierra Nevada mountains sit (Herckes, et. Al). Due to this topography of this area air masses become stagnant and ventilation of the valley is hindered (Herckes, et. Al). The lack of ventilation in the valley leads to temperature inversions, because of high pressure systems that form of the Great Basin (Herckes, et. Al). This leads to radiation fog forming because of inversion during nights in which a layer of moist air is below a layer of drier air (Ahrens and Sampson 97).
Between 12 and 14 inches of rain fell over a four-hour period in the mountains around the resort town of Estes Park. Unusual weather patterns allowed the huge storm system to stall over the area as it dumped its load. Which caused the river to overflow its banks.
As the weather gets hotter in Southern California, it is causing major problems. The heat wave that has traveled across the area since Sunday last week has been lingering around, longer than usual. Forecasters claim the heat wave will continue for awhile longer, and because of that, Fall is having a hot start. Temperatures are rising by day, hitting 95 degrees and maybe even a bit over 100. Although this week will start off a bit cooler but as it goes on, the weather will get hotter.
Nine hospitals in the region were closed to additional patients because of the flooding, the mayor said. Three apartment buildings were evacuated and residents were being sheltered at a mall, Turner added.Emmett said Monday afternoon he estimates 240 billion gallons of rain has fallen in the Houston area. That estimate may soon rise: Rain and thunderstorms are forecast for Houston through late Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service.
On February 28th, heavy showers hit California impacting the mountainsides that were scarred from all the wildfires. Those mountainsides are above suburbs east of Los Angeles. The heavy showers caused mud and debris to flow downward into
Stormy season : July - September. Still warm and, obviously, moist. Parts and loads of downpour.
