Foi uma baita instabilidade, Luiz. Ventou forte também em outras partes do estado, mais cedo.

 

SIMEPAR:

>>> 28/03/2011 16:57

A área de instabilidade que ingressou nos setores oeste e sudoeste do Paraná nas últimas horas provocou, além de chuvas com descargas atmosféricas, rajadas de vento de moderada e forte intensidade em algumas localidades. Segue os maiores valores verificados nas estações meteorológicas do SIMEPAR até o momento: Santa Helena 14,8 m/s (53,3 km/h), Marechal C. Rondon 17,6 m/s (63,4 km/h), Assis Chateaubriand 16,4 m/s (59,1 km/h) e Palmas 15,1 m/s (54,4 km/h).

Roraima registra piores enchentes dos últimos 35 anos

 

Comunidades estão isoladas em razão da cheia do rio Branco.

Governo decretou estado de calamidade pública neste domingo

 

Roraima enfrenta suas piores enchentes desde 1976, informou o governo estadual nesta segunda-feira (6). Praticamente todos os municípios estão em situação de emergência, e comunidades estão em isolamento total em razão das fortes chuvas que atingiram o estado nos últimos dias. Neste domingo, o governador José de Anchieta decretou estado de calamidade pública. A região sul do estado é a mais afetada

Durante a tarde desta terça-feira uma forte célula de tempestade isolada cresceu ao sul de Cianorte e mesmo estando no trabalho eu consegui gravar uma imagem pelo celular. Era muito bonita, pois o céu estava quase limpo após a instabilidade da manhã. Segundo a imagem de radar do IPMet, a célula cruzava de SW para NE, percorreu cerca de 100 km e teve seu ápice como mostra a imagem abaixo entre Quinta do Sol e Marialva, está última que fica logo ao sul de Maringá. Pela refletividade não descartaria granizo até de tamanho grande.

Pesadíssimas e belas formações, como se fosse a primavera, meu caro Tomasini! Obrigado por compartilhar! Pelo visto teremos muitas imagens como essas nos próximos meses, com choque entre ar quente e ar frio mais frequente, graças a La Niña. E infelizmente, com problemas e risco para muitos..

O sistema ainda esta bem longe mas a direção é o Florida. Meu pai me ligou hoje de Key West, disse que o pessoal lá já esta de olho no sistema. Em 2 dias, se a direção nao mudar, vão começar a evacuar a cidade.

A NoAA espera que o sistema ganhe forca nas próximas horas.

It's been awhile...

 

Since the destructive 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons, only 4 hurricanes have made a U.S. landfall, all doing so in the western half of the Gulf of Mexico, most notably, September 2008's Hurricane Ike.

 

Furthermore, since Hurricane Ike's destructive rampage, the U.S. has had only a few hurricane "close-calls" the past 2 seasons.

 

Both Alex and Earl in 2010 did not make U.S. landfalls, but still produced some impacts in the U.S. (Rio Grande flooding, Outer Banks storm surge flooding). November 2009's Hurricane Ida weakened dramatically before limping into the Gulf Coast. It was the remnants of Ida that lead to major coastal flooding along parts of the East Coast.

 

In all, we've had no hurricane landfalls the past two seasons and three of the last five (2010, 2009, 2006).

Cerca de 17 mil pessoas foram afetadas pelas chuvas no Paraná. A tempestade que atingiu a região oeste do Estado nesta sexta-feira derrubou sete torres de transmissão de energia elétrica da Companhia Paranaense de Energia (Copel), entre as cidades de Cascavel e Toledo. Algumas indústrias ficaram sem luz, mas a Copel restituiu o fornecimento por meio de outras operações. A companhia deu início à recuperação das estruturas, que deve durar entre 15 e 20 dias.

 

Em Francisco Beltrão, região sudoeste, o rio Marrecas subiu muito em função da chuva. Durante a madrugada, as famílias atingidas precisaram sair de suas residências e a Defesa Civil municipal foi acionada. Foram 110 casas danificadas em nove bairros, com 400 pessoas desalojadas e 180 desabrigadas. Choveu no município 70% da média história para agosto apenas hoje.

 

A enxurrada causou mais prejuízos em Santo Antônio do Sudoeste, onde 320 casas de quatro bairros foram afetadas pelas enchentes de três rios. A Defesa Civil Estadual disse que 1,6 mil pessoas sofreram de alguma maneira com a precipitação desta sexta-feira. A localidade havia sofrido prejuízos com uma chuva de granizo semana passada. A Defesa Civil também registrou ocorrências nos municípios de Piên e Marmeleiro, mas os estragos foram pequenos.

 

Segundo o Instituto Tecnológico Simepar, uma frente fria é a responsável pelas chuvas. A partir da madrugada de sábado, a nebulosidade começa a diminuir no oeste, indo em direção ao leste.

Sim, isso inclusive quebrou as teorias aquecimentistas de que as temporadas de furacão se tornariam cada vez piores!

 

 

João, veja que o atual período de "calmaria" nos E.U.A nos últimos 2 anos e meio, é extremamente raro, e pode se tornar único caso o país complete 3 anos sem um hurricane landfall...

 

Uma verdadeira ducha de de água fria nos aquecimentistas, já que desde 1860 nunca houveram 3 anos sem um hurricane landfall. Porém, parece que a sorte dos americanos pode estar prestes a acabar:

 

 

 

 

trop-hur-strike-freq-600x338.jpg

 

 

Luck running out

 

"In its latest seasonal outlook, Weather Services International Chief Meteorolgist, Dr. Todd Crawford, laid out a stunning fact.

 

The United States has not gone through a three-year period without a hurricane landfall since the 1860s! No, that's not a misprint...Civil War era, as best as NHC's "Best Track" dataset can tell.

 

Dr. Crawford also pointed out that 80% of all years in the historical database have had at least one hurricane landfall in the U.S. Clearly, we're living on borrowed time. Ike's landfall was almost 3 years ago.

 

"Ultimately the atmosphere is going to do what it wants based on the steering pattern regardless of how much time has passed since a U.S. hurricane landfall, but the climatological odds are overwhelmingly in favor of at least one this season," said TWC Senior Meteorologist Stu Ostro .

 

Looking back at history, where are the most often hurricane-struck areas? South Florida and the N. Carolina Outer Banks...two areas that have been relatively spared the past 5 years."

Pois é, segundo os meteorologistas do Accuweather.com Irene deve se transformar em furacão nas próximas 12 a 24 horas, com previsão de chegada na Flórida na sexta-feira! Depois o sistema daria um rasante na faixa costeira leste com risco de mais inundações na área da Philadelphia e NY, regiões que já receberam grandes volumes de chuva na última semana.

Irene, First Atlantic Hurricane of 2011, Heads Toward Florida

 

By Conor Sullivan

Aug. 22 (Bloomberg) -- Irene strengthened over Puerto Rico

to become the first hurricane of the 2011 Atlantic season,

heading toward the Dominican Republic on a path that could take

it to Florida later this week, the U.S. National Hurricane

Center said.

Irene, with maximum winds of 75 miles (120 kilometers) per

hour, was about 25 miles west of San Juan, Puerto Rico, as of 5

a.m. Atlantic Standard Time and is moving west-northwest at 12

mph, according to an advisory by the Miami-based center.

“A storm surge will raise water levels by as much as 2 to

4 feet above normal tide levels along the entire coast of the

Dominican Republic,” the advisory said.

The center expects the hurricane to pass over Puerto Rico

this morning and reach the north coast of the Dominican Republic

later today. Irene will veer northwards over the next few days,

bringing it across The Bahamas by Aug. 25 and the east coast of

Florida the next day.

Florida’s orange crop is vulnerable to tropical weather if

certain parts of the state are exposed to strong winds. Orange-

juice prices have climbed 20 percent from a year earlier as

frost and dry weather hurt the Florida crop. Futures for

November delivery closed at $1.6415 a pound on ICE Futures U.S.

in New York last week.

 

 

 

Warnings, Watches

 

 

Hurricane warnings have been issued for the north coast of

the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Vieques and Culebra.

Watches are in force for the north coast of Haiti and the

Central Bahamas. A hurricane warning is issued for areas where

hurricane-force winds are expected in the coming 36 hours, while

a watch is issued when there is a possibility of hurricane-force

winds in the coming 48 hours.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward for 15 miles from its

center, and tropical-storm-force winds extend for 150 miles,

mostly to the northwest and northeast of the core, the center

said.

A storm becomes a hurricane when winds hit 74 mph. The last

hurricane to hit the U.S. was Ike in 2008, which was a Category

2 storm on the five-step Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale

when it went ashore near Galveston, Texas. The last major

hurricane to hit the U.S. was in 2005, according to the

hurricane center.

Valeu João, eu também adoro essas curiosidades e estatísticas históricas! Pior que eu pretendia ir para Miami nessa próxima sexta-feira, mas acho que vou desistir... :sad:

Foi-se minha ideia de sol e água fres em terras americanas... :negative:

 

O "pau quebrou" hoje cedo em Porto Rico, e agora as novas projeções colocam o Irene no caminho não só da Florida, mas de quase todo o sudeste americano...

The fact is - we are still early in the forecasting period. The geography of the East Coast of the United States combined with a tropical cyclone making a turn to the north as it approaches the coast equals a forecast track that implicates millions upon millions of Americans.

 

If Irene skirts or parallels the East Coast of the United States later this week and into the weekend, it means that several major metropolitan areas - from Florida to New England - could very well be impacted in some way from the hurricane.

 

The graphic below uses our current threat level graphic and calls out the population of those under the umbrella of each level. As of Monday afternoon, 4 million Americans are under a high threat level, 20 million Americans (red + orange color shading) are under at least a medium threat from Irene while an astounding 60 million Americans (yellow + orange + red) are under at least a low threat.

 

Irene Has the Potential to Impact Millions

Hurricane Irene (NASA, International Space Station, 08/22/11)

This panoramic view of recently-formed Hurricane Irene was acquired by the crew of the International Space Station early Monday afternoon from a point over the coastal waters of Venezuela. At the time Irene was packing winds of 80mph and was just north of the Mona Passage between Hispaniola and Puerto Rico. Although no eye was visible at this time, the storm was strengthening and exhibited the size and structure of a classic "Cape Verde" hurricane as it tracked west-northwestward towards the southern Bahamas.

New York City's Hurricane History

by Becky Kellogg, weather.com

 

 

quarta.jpg

 

 

Hurricane Irene is threatening the U.S. and could impact tens of millions of Americans along the East coast by this weekend.

 

People from the Deep South to New England are watching the storm's progress very closely to see how Hurricane Irene will impact them. Several cities who were highlighted by Hurricane Expert Dr. Rick Knabb as being overdue for a hurricane hit, are in the cone of concern. New York City is one of those cities.

 

"Hurricanes in New York City metro area are relatively rare events because of the geography (places like Cape Cod stick much farther out into the ocean), typical steering patterns, and a tendency for tropical systems to weaken as they go very far north," says The Weather Channel's Senior Meteorologist Stu Ostro.

 

Only 5 hurricanes in records dating back to 1851 have tracked within 75 miles of New York City. The most recent one being in 1985.

 

Year Hurricane Strength

 

1985 Gloria Category 1

 

1976 Belle Category 1

 

1938 Long Island Express Category 3

 

1894 No name given Category 1

 

1893 No name given Category 1

 

 

One of New York's unique challenges in dealing with a hurricane would be mandatory evacuations. It takes hours to evacuate significantly smaller cities, such as New Orleans and Savannah. But New York, as America's most populous city, faces a unique set of evacuation challenges.

 

“It’s a concern because surveys in recent years have shown that even after the 2004, 2005, and 2008 seasons there is complacency in places which are much more prone to hurricanes, much less in places where hurricanes are very infrequent." says Ostro. "Plus this is one of the last big weekends of the summer with many people heading to the beaches. Folks in New York City and elsewhere need to be closely monitoring the progress of Irene just in case.”

Northeast high wind impact threat area

 

Heavy rain/flood threat

 

It's already been a wet August in the Northeast.

 

Philadelphia will likely have its wettest single month on record, breaking a record from Sep. 1999, which included heavy rain from Hurricane Floyd passing to the east.

quarta4.jpg

August rainfall (hotter colors = heavier rain) and departures from average (preceded by a "+" sign)

 

ESSA É A MAIS PREOCUPANTE DAS PROJEÇÕES NA MINHA OPINIÃO... :-o :-o

 

If Hurricane Irene's center tracks close or even a little inland of the Jersey Shore into southern New England, that places New York City and southern New England on the eastern semicircle of the circulation, meaning significant storm surge flooding possible in these vulnerable locations! Coastal flooding would also begin well ahead of the arrival of the center of Irene, in this scenario.

If Irene tracks near the coast or slightly inland, surge flooding will result
