Boulder Mountain Fire (Wildfire)

2 years 10 months ago
The Boulder Mountain Fire started by lightning on Wednesday August 31, 2022 at approximately 8:30 pm. The fire is located in the Tacoma Creek and Boulder Mountain area northwest of Cusick, Washington. The fire is burning on Federal, State and Private land. The terrain is difficult and the fire is burning in heavy timber, slash, and beetle infested trees. The Northeast Washington Interagency Incident Management Team Type 3 Team 2 has assumed command of the fire as of this morning.  The fire is in an area that is difficult to reach with crews at this time. The primary objective today is scouting and shoring up road systems to the fire and creating additional access points. Air resources will continue to be in the area and assist crews on the ground to work areas that need immediate attention. There are level 3 evacuation orders in place. The fire is approximately 2000 acres and is 0% contained.  With the Labor Day weekend upon us we ask that the public stay out of the area. There are...

Low groundwater levels endangering structures built on wood pilings in Boston, Massachusetts

2 years 10 months ago
Many of Boston's homes and landmarks were built on wood pilings driven deep into the ground, a European method of construction. The pilings can fail to support buildings when they dry out and decay as is occurring amid this drought. The pilings remain strong as long as they are submerged, but many of the city’s 813 monitoring wells indicated drops in water levels, with 31 at their lowest level on record. A short period of decay should not cause immediate damage to a building, according to experts. But significant problems can begin to occur in as little as three years when rotted pilings allow a building to settle and crack. The Boston Globe (Mass.), Sept. 3, 2022

SPC 1730Z Day 2 Outlook
Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1222 PM CDT Sat Sep 03 2022 Valid 041200Z - 051200Z ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PORTIONS OF THE DESERT SOUTHWEST... ...SUMMARY... There is a Marginal Risk of severe thunderstorms across portions of the Desert Southwest Sunday afternoon/evening. ...Synopsis... The upper-level ridge across the western CONUS will deamplify somewhat tomorrow as a mid-level shortwave traverses the northern Rockies and northern Plains. Farther east, a slow-moving upper-level low will continue to slowly drift east through the Ohio Valley. Thunderstorms are expected in much of the moist sector, extending from most of Texas and the Southeast through the Ohio Valley and into the Northeast. An even greater concentration of thunderstorms is likely near and east of the upper-level low across the Ohio Valley. However, wind shear will remain weak across the warm sector. Therefore, storm organization should be minimal. ...Portions of the Desert Southwest... Some thunderstorms will likely develop and move off the higher terrain across portions of Northwest Arizona Sunday afternoon/evening. Weak to moderate instability amid 30 knots of mid-level easterly flow should provide an environment favorable for a few strong to severe storms. The primary threat will be damaging winds, particularly with any clusters which may develop and move across the Colorado River Valley. ...Northern/Central Texas... There is some signal in convective allowing guidance for a potential cluster/southward moving line of storms across central Texas. A cold front will be moving south through this region which could provide the focus for more concentrated convection, and forecast MLCAPE will be around 2000-2500 J/kg. However, wind shear will be very weak and therefore, organized severe convection is not anticipated. ..Bentley.. 09/03/2022 Read more

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
1100 AM PDT Sat Sep 3 2022

For the eastern North Pacific...east of 140 degrees west longitude:

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical
Storm Javier, located about 100 miles west of the south-central
portion of the Baja California peninsula.

South of Southern Mexico:
Showers and thunderstorms have changed little in organization in
association with an area of low pressure located just off the coast
of southern Mexico. Environmental conditions are conducive for
development, and a tropical depression is expected to form later
today or on Sunday while the system moves west-northwestward or
northwestward near the coast of southern and southwestern Mexico.
Regardless of development, heavy rain is possible along the coasts
of southern and southwestern Mexico during the next few days, and
interests in those locations and the Baja California peninsula
should monitor the progress of this disturbance. Additional
information on this system, including gale warnings, can be found
in High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.

Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1129 AM CDT Sat Sep 03 2022 Valid 031630Z - 041200Z ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PORTIONS OF THE DESERT SOUTHWEST...SOUTHERN GREAT PLAINS...AND THE MID-SOUTH... ...SUMMARY... Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible across a portion of the Desert Southwest, the southern Great Plains, and the Mid-Mississippi and Lower Ohio River Valleys, mainly during the late afternoon and early evening. ...Interior Southern CA to northwest AZ... Isolated thunderstorm development is anticipated over interior southern CA and northwest AZ along the northern edge of a deep moisture plume. Although the stronger midlevel flow will reside farther south near the international border, slightly stronger mid-level easterly flow averaging 25 kts and steep low-level lapse rates will result in an environment conducive for isolated strong/severe wind gusts. ...Northern/west-central OK to far southern KS... Increasing frontal convergence and minimal CINH will contribute to isolated thunderstorm development by early evening along a slow-moving surface front. RAP/NAM forecast soundings depict a deep/well-mixed atmosphere and 1000-1500 J/kg MLCAPE by late afternoon. Within this environment, an isolated stronger storm will be capable of producing strong/potentially severe gusts. ...Mid-MS/Lower OH River Valleys... An increase in thunderstorm coverage is expected this afternoon/early evening east of a weak midlevel trough. Despite poor lapse rates, a very moist environment and modestly enhanced mid-level flow (20-25 kts) may yield a few storms capable of wet microbursts, especially where breaks in cloud cover result in locally greater buoyancy. Storms should diminish in intensity as the evening progresses. ..Bunting/Gleason.. 09/03/2022 Read more

SPC Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1100 AM CDT Sat Sep 03 2022 Valid 031700Z - 041200Z ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF EXTREME NORTHEAST CALIFORNIA INTO SOUTHEAST OREGON...FAR NORTHWESTERN NEVADA AND FAR SOUTHWESTERN IDAHO... The previous forecast remains on track, with only minor changes made to the ongoing highlights to reflect the latest guidance consensus. Please see the previous outlook below for more details. ..Squitieri.. 09/03/2022 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1257 AM CDT Sat Sep 03 2022/ ...Synopsis... A progressive shortwave trough, evident in water-vapor imagery moving into northern California, will usher in strong winds to the northern Great Basin this afternoon. This will regionally bolster the fire weather potential after several days of hot/dry weather. Fire weather concerns are also expected to the east across the northern High Plains as gradient winds increase through the day over a region with dry fuels. ...Northern Great Basin... The jet axis associated with the northern CA shortwave trough is expected to shift across the northern Sierra Nevada into central ID through peak heating. The phasing of increasing 800-700 mb winds with deep boundary-layer mixing will support 15-25 mph winds at the surface with frequent gusts between 30-40 mph. Poor overnight RH recovery is noted across the northern Great Basin early this morning, and afternoon highs near 100 F are expected again this afternoon. Consequently, diurnal RH minimums near 5-15% are likely and will support widespread elevated to critical fire weather conditions. Fire activity across the region, supported by recent fuel analyses, lend further credence to the fire weather threat. ...Northern High Plains... Troughing in the lee of the northern Rockies will support increasing southeasterly gradient winds across eastern MT and the western Dakotas. Sustained winds near 15 mph, with occasional gusts to 20-25 mph, are likely. Combined with RH reductions into the low/mid teens, elevated fire weather conditions appear probable across a large swath of the northern High Plains. ...Dry Thunderstorms... Advected PWAT satellite imagery shows a plume of 700-500 mb moisture quickly advancing northward ahead of the northern CA shortwave trough. Strong ascent ahead of the wave will help steepen lapse rates and aid in ascent across WA into far western MT by this afternoon and evening. Forecast soundings hint that adequate buoyancy for convection atop a dry boundary-layer will limit precipitation accumulations and favor isolated dry thunderstorms. Given receptive fuel status across most of the region, a dry-lightning fire weather concern remains likely for today. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... Read more

Tropical Storm Javier Forecast Discussion Number 8

2 years 10 months ago
Issued at 900 AM MDT Sat Sep 03 2022 000 WTPZ41 KNHC 031450 TCDEP1 Tropical Storm Javier Discussion Number 8 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP112022 900 AM MDT Sat Sep 03 2022 The satellite presentation of Javier has continued to deteriorate over the past few hours. The deep convective burst noted in the previous discussion has rotated to the southern portion of the circulation and cloud top temperatures have warmed to above -70 degrees C. Microwave and infrared imagery show the northern half of the semicircle to be devoid of any deep convection. A blend of the objective and subjective satellite intensity estimates support lowering the intensity to 40 kt for this advisory. Javier appears to have begun its weakening trend. The system has crossed over waters cooler than 26 degrees C and the sea surface temperatures along the forecast track are expected to be progressively colder. Atmospheric conditions are also predicted to not be conducive for any additional strengthening. Global models suggest that the vertical wind shear should increase and the environmental moisture to decrease within a day. Based on this information and guidance, the official forecast now shows Javier becoming a post-tropical cyclone in 24 hours and weakening to a remnant within two days. The initial motion is estimated to be 325 degrees at 13 kt. Though the center of Javier appears to have shifted slightly to the north, the storm is expected to be steered northwestward by a mid-level ridge to its northeast. Within a day or less, model guidance agrees that the ridge should turn Javier to the west-northwest. Low-level tradewinds are expected to turn a weakening Javier to the west and west-southwest beyond 48 hours. The NHC track forecast is shifted slightly northward from the previous advisory prediction and is close the model consensus aids. Although the NHC forecast wind radii do not explicitly reach the coast of Mexico, any additional eastward or northward deviations from the official track forecast could result in tropical-storm-force winds reaching portions of Baja California Sur, where a Tropical Storm Watch is in effect. KEY MESSAGES: 1. Although the center is expected to stay offshore, heavy rainfall from Tropical Storm Javier could lead to localized flash flooding in Baja California Sur. 2. Tropical storm conditions are possible across portions of Baja California Sur through today. A Tropical Storm Watch remains in effect.
