Tropical Weather: Tropical Storm Beryl (North Atlantic) Tropical Storm Sanvu (Western Pacific)
Weather Summary
Weather Underground Forecast for Sunday, May 27, 2012. More interesting weather for many parts of the country is expected Sunday. Subtropical Storm Beryl will continue on its path toward the northeast coast of Florida near Georgia. It is expected to make landfall with tropical storm strength winds either late Sunday night or early Monday morning. This storm will not be a signficant wind threat, and the rain associated with it will mostly be a blessing to this region as it has suffered through an exceptional drought.

Elsewhere, an intense heat wave will continue for the Plains and Southeast while also spreading northward into the Ohio Valley and Upper Midwest. Maximum temperature records are most likely to be broken for many areas as temperatures will soar into the 90s and 100s. Even more dangerous will be the heat index values over 100 degrees. The heat index tells you how hot the air feels. The more humid the weather, the higher the heat index will soar. Thankfully, many areas will not experience the extremely high humidity common during the Summer months.

In the West, a strong storm will move through the Northern Rockies and into the Dakotas. This storm will bring widespread rain and even some snow from Idaho through Minnesota. The associated cold front will move through the Plains, possibly instigating some strong thunderstorms that could become severe.

The Northeast will rise into the 70s and 80s, while the Southeast and Southern Plains will see temperatures in the 90s and 100s. The Northwest will rise into the 70s.

Hurricane season extends from June 1 until November 30. In the mid-
Atlantic region... 80 percent of hurricanes that affect this area
occur between early August and mid October. Below you will find
information on hurricane safety and preparedness.

   Today's topic - preparedness - it's about safety and security

hurricanes and tropical storms produce a variety of hazardous
weather... from wind to heavy rain to tornadoes to flooding and storm
surge. Deaths and injuries can result from these hazards and damage
can be devastating. However, there are things that each of US can do
to lessen our personal risk from hurricanes and tropical storms... as
well as make US safer and more secure during and after such storms.

1). Build a disaster supplies kit. Items such as bottled water for
drinking /one gallon per person per day/... non-perishable foods such
as canned meats and Peanut butter... and a battery operated radio and
flashlight with extra batteries are the staple items for your kit. A
first aid kit... extra prescription medications, and extra Cash should
also be part of the kit. Start building your kit early... so that you
can buy things when they are on sale and when they are in good supply.
Buying one or two bottles of water per week over one to 2 months will
be sufficient for most families for 3 to 7 days. An extra can of Tuna
or container of Peanut butter here and there... and a package of
batteries when they are on sale... and before you know it... your kit
is complete. You will now be able to sustain yourself and your family
for several days should the power go out... or you experience damage
or flooding from a tornado... hurricane or ice storm.

2). Keep the wind out. Coastal residents should be buying and cutting
plywood now to board up their windows in advance of a tropical storm
or hurricane. In addition, hurricane clips can be used to reinforce
the connection between the roof and the main frame of the house.
Keeping the roof on and keeping the wind out is the best way to
ensure your home experiences less damage than less well protected
homes.

3). Evacuate if asked to. Coastal residents who live in areas prone to
tidal flooding or storm surge should plan to evacuate if a hurricane
threatens the mid Atlantic coast. Evacuating early means that you beat
the traffic and have a better chance of finding lodging at your
destination.

Plan your evacuation Route as if you were planning a vacation. Make
sure that your destination is to the left of the projected storm track.
You will have to travel less distance to be out of harms way. For
residents of Hampton Roads and northeast North Carolina, that means
heading west for a storm heading northward... or heading southwest for
a hurricane approaching the coast from the southeast. Southern
Delmarva residents and visitors have more limited options until they
reach the Salisbury Maryland... Dover Delaware or Wilmington Delaware
areas.

4). Prepare and protect your pets. Most shelters and many hotels do
not allow pets. As a result extra preparation needs to be made for
those evacuees who have pets. Choose your destination early and make
sure the hotel, motel or shelter you pick will take pets.

5). If you decide to stay. Coastal residents who choose to ride out a
hurricane or tropical storm should first make sure they are not prone
to storm surge flooding. Storm surge is a major coastal killer, as we
saw along the Mississippi and Louisiana Gulf Coast in 2005 with
Hurricane Katrina... and near Galveston Island in 2008 with Hurricane
Ike. You are better off evacuating if you live in a flood prone area.

If you are not prone to flooding... wind will still be a major threat
from any hurricane or tropical storm affecting the mid Atlantic coast.
Make sure you remain in the lowest part of your home, preferably near
the center... and away from windows. During the worst part of the
storm... go to an interior bathroom... closet or hallway... and cover
yourself with a coat or blanket to protext yourself from flying debris.

These are just a few of the tips that you can employ to make this
hurricane season less stressful, safer and more secure for you and
your family.
