Details tonight on @WDEFNews12 at 5:30, 6, 7 & 11.

#TropicalStormSara forms in the western Caribbean.

"Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts.

Some strengthening is possible if the center of Sara remains

"Helene roared ashore Florida’s coast in late September 2024 as a Category 4 hurricane. But arguably the worst-hit area was hundreds of miles north, across the southern Appalachian Mountains. A deluge of rainfall over a 4-day period, September 25 through September 28, 2024, turned trickling creeks into roaring rivers. Rivers overflowed their banks, and washed out entire mountain towns, neighborhoods, and roads." - NOAA Climate.gov

#ScienceRules "If it disagrees with experiment, it is wrong. In that simple statement is the key to science. It does not make any difference how beautiful your guess is, it does not make any difference how smart you are, who made the guess, or what his name is — if it disagrees with experiment, it is wrong." - R. Feynman

#PlanetNOAA Podcast Episode 10: Hail, yeah!

Dive into the science and observational tech that helps us research and predict severe weather—including hurricanes—with the scientists that make those innovations possible. Dr. Steve Thur gives us an inside look into how NOAA Research studies scientific phenomena from the deepest depths of the ocean to the stars above. - NOAA.gov

The best part of presenting weather and science to kids (like I did today at Chattanooga School For The Arts & Sciences) is the questions. Like Carl Sagan found, they ask the most interesting questions. Much less of that curiousity in higher grade levels. Always great to see that interest in and desire to know more about the world they live in. #ScienceRules

Potential Tropical Cyclone 19 forms in the Caribbean.

The system is moving toward the
west near 6 mph (9 km/h). A westward motion should continue during the next few days, with a decrease in forward speed.

Maximum sustained winds are near 30 mph (45 km/h) with higher gusts. Strengthening is expected during the next few days, and the system is forecast to become a tropical storm on Thursday and continue strengthening as it moves near the coast of Central America.
