From late yesterday

Hurricane Milton is expected to deliver devastating storm surge to Florida's west coast by Wednesday night. Currently classified as a powerful Category 5, Milton is anticipated to make landfall in Florida as a significant hurricane.

Here's an update from our storm tracker, @JordanHallWX, who is in Sarasota, Florida, preparing for the storm.

NEW: We have increased our forecast wind speeds associated with . This comes after incoming model data and NHC forecasts that suggest Milton may retain strength a bit longer.

The advice remains the same: run from the water and hide from the wind.

Milton a big Florida risk

In a dramatic uptrend, there is now a risk of a major hurricane hitting Florida on Wednesday. Instead of just heavy rain, now a life-threatening storm surge and destructive winds could pose serious hazards. Meteorologist Matthew Cappucci has a critical update on Milton.

“Simply stated, these conspiracy theories are perpetuated by people with the critical thinking skills of a rutabaga.”

“We should ask ourselves… if someone can’t explain why a cloud floats, why should we take their conspiracies about the weather as law?”

“At the end of the day, why do people believe — or post — conspiracy theories? Multiple reasons.”

Hamster Note:

The Dev team forgot to mention, at this point, only the paid - Ad-Free version of MyRadar Windows is available in the new framework.

They hope to have the Free version updated to the new framework by the 1st quarter in 2025.

NOTE From The Windows Dev Team:

This new build will almost certainly have bugs.

This release has been 6+ months in the making. It's almost a total rewrite from the ground up.

But let us know if you find any bugs! We are absolutely committed to making sure the new MyRadar Windows is at least as reliable as the previous build.

You can pass on any comments you have to the Hamster here on CoSo and they'll make sure we get that feedback

The MyRadar Windows Client has just had a major drop / update for users.

With this release, we have transitioned to the latest Windows App Framework, offering us new opportunities to bring some amazing features we have planned for the next 12 months.

If you already have MyRadar Windows installed, you can just check for updates in the Microsoft Store and you will get the new version.

The chances of a named storm in the Gulf of Mexico are increasing next week.

We’re still expecting heavy rain and flooding in Florida to be the main concern, but there may eventually be some wind or surge risk too.

Aurora borealis possible

A trio of solar flares, each of which was followed by a magnetic shockwave — or “coronal mass ejection” — have erupted from the sun. That could give northern mid-latitudes multiple opportunities to see the aurora borealis this weekend. Matthew Cappucci has an update.

From late yesterday

Northern lights coming?

Multiple solar flares recently flashed off the sun, including the largest of the ongoing 11-year solar cycle. Multiple magnetic shockwaves, called coronal mass ejections, could disturb Earth’s magnetic field and induce auroral displays. Matthew Cappucci has an update.

Hamster Note:

Our Windows dev team for MyRadar wants you to know that currently the Satellite Animation layer for MyRadar is not available in the Windows Desktop version.

We are hoping to ship that update / feature early next week for our Windows Ad-Free (subscription) version.

We also want to offer satellite animation in the FREE with ads version, but due to a current difficulty with our Ad Provider, we can't support that at the moment.
