Tropical Storm Andrea Impacts to the Northeast

Posted by: Zachary Labe, 9:02 PM GMT on June 06, 2013

Since I was unable to write up a full blog, here is an observation blog for TS Andrea.

The remnants of Tropical Storm Andrea will continue to shift northeast along the Atlantic coast. Heavy rainfall will spread across the Northeast focusing in on a narrow axis along I-95 to the coast. Rainfall amounts in this region may approach a max of 6" in some select area. Minor gale force winds are also possible along the immediate coastline. Little to no storm surge threat is likely for the region along with little to no severe weather due to relatively stable air.

Flaws in the Present Meteorological Community Infrastructure

I hate it. I hate it when people complain they are too busy. Unfortunately, I just took note that the last blog I wrote was over a month ago. Therefore, I fall into that awful category of those who are too busy.

Nearly a month after the end of the official meteorological winter, folks across the Middle Atlantic are presently cleaning up from a late...
