Torah Teaching Ethics Yehuda’s Blessing Exile Insights Summary: Torah with Simcha Podcast – Detailed Summary Date: January 1, 2026 Host: Simeon Reshmem Hey, from Havak Episode Focus: Laws and lessons around teaching Torah, reflections from Parshas Vayechi, significance of Yehuda's blessing, and spiritual resilience in Galus (exile). 1. Main Topics Discussed A. Payment for Teaching Torah Teaching Torah for Free • Principle from Moshe Rabbeinu: • Torah must be taught for free; one cannot charge for transmitting Torah. • Prooftext: Moshe taught Bnei Yisrael freely (“See, I have taught you decrees... as Hashem commanded me”, referencing Devarim). Exceptions to the Rule • Payment Permissible in Specific Cases: • Teachers of Children: Permitted to accept payment because teachers are "babysitting" – providing supervision/guardianship, not remuneration for Torah itself. • Full-Time Torah Teachers (No Other Employment): • If someone dedicates all their time to teaching and forgoes other income, payment is allowed as compensation for what they could otherwise be earning (referred to as "Sakhar Bateila"). • Example given: In certain communities (e.g., Chicago), career options for non-professionals may be limited (e.g., nursing home industry), so if one teaches instead, payment is justified. Community Custom & Halacha • Custom (Minhag) and Obligation: • In some cities, it's common for teachers of children to be paid. • Obligated to teach until the completion of the entire written Torah; beyond that (Mishnah/Gemara/Agada), obligation depends on circumstances (time constraints, resources). • Parental Duties: • Fathers must ensure their children learn Torah Shebikhtav (Written Torah), including Nevi’im and Ketuvim. • For richer parents, obligation extends further; they can be compelled to fund more advanced Torah studies (Mishnah, Gemara). Key Figures and Sources Mentioned • Halachic Authorities: • Rambam (Maimonides) • Shulchan Aruch, Orach Hashulchan, Bach, Taz, Shach • References: Simanim (sections) 248, Shin Lamed Daled, Shin Lamed Hei in Choshen Mishpat B. The Qualities and Responsibilities of Torah Teachers Expectations for Torah Teachers • Teachers must: • Be G-d-fearing (“yare elokim”) • Diligent and careful in teaching and explanations • Show love and proper guidance to children • Avoid habits that diminish teaching strength (not staying up too late, not fasting, not overeating, etc.) Consequences for Failure • A teacher who neglects students, divides attention with other work, is lax, etc., is likened to "cursed is the one who does the work of Hashem deceitfully." • If a teacher overindulges or otherwise is unfit to teach, they're to be dismissed immediately, even without warning. Selection Between Multiple Teachers • When faced with multiple candidates: • Preference is for one who is precise and ensures correct understanding, even if another may emphasize reading skills more. • A better-qualified teacher should replace a less-qualified one, according to the Rambam and the Bavli. • There is a dissenting view, but majority halachic opinion supports replacing for improvement in teaching quality. C. In-Depth Parshas Vayechi Discussion Yaakov’s Blessings to His Sons • Readings and interpretations center on Yaakov blessing his sons, especially the extended section on Yehuda. • Context: Yaakov calls his sons as he nears death, offering prophetic blessings. Yehuda’s Blessing – Detailed Points • Yehuda to have rulership and respect among brothers; “your brothers shall submit to you.” • He will be likened to a lion – powerful, unopposed, and constant in leadership. • “The scepter shall not depart from Yehuda… until Shiloh comes (reference to Mashiach).” Interpretations and Lessons: • Dominion of Yehuda (and his descendants' leadership) will never truly depart, even when other tribes briefly ascend (e.g., Shaul from Binyamin). • The Role of Mashiach: Mashiach is referenced as “Shiloh,” a human leader (not divine), from Yehuda, who will be recognized by all nations. • The importance of understanding scriptural phrasing to counter claims of other faiths regarding Mashiach. • The symbol of abundance and blessing in Yehuda’s land: grapevines, milk, wine, reflective of spiritual and material success. Symbolic Insights: • Absence of the Hebrew letter 'Zayin' (weapon) in the blessing shows Yehuda’s victories are spiritual/miraculous, not through physical warfare. • Yehuda's humility, leadership, and role as moral and religious leader (chieftains, judges, heads of academies, Sanhedrin) emphasized. D. Reflections on Exile, Potential, and Spiritual Service Significance of Galus (Exile) and Spiritual Growth • The podcast draws an analogy (based on a story from the “One Time Podcast” by Elly Scheller): Sometimes people only realize their potential when “pushed in” by circumstances beyond their control (the story of the 98-year-old who crossed a shark-infested lake). • Similarly, the hardships of exile have forced the Jewish people to develop new spiritual strengths (e.g., composing Talmud Bavli). Chizuk (Encouragement): • Maintaining mitzvot in challenging times (without prophecy, Bais Hamikdash) constitutes a unique, perhaps unprecedented, achievement. Even seemingly “donkey-like” religious observance is precious in Hashem’s eyes. • Quotation: If prior generations were like people, we are like donkeys. Still, our steady performance is extraordinary. • Davening (prayer) and mitzvah performance remain valuable even with diminished concentration or feeling. • Moshe Rabbeinu's humility, in part, stemmed from foreseeing the spiritual resilience of later generations. Final Blessings and Chizuk: • The parsha is called Vayechi, signifying the continuing influence of tzadikim beyond their lifetimes. • Encouragement for listeners: In their own "galus" and challenges, there is purpose, potential, and spiritual reward. • Wishes for everyone to merit the coming of Mashiach and to realize their unique roles in Avodas Hashem. 2. Action Items • Further Learning: • Explore the halachos of hiring/firing Torah teachers (review sources mentioned: Shulchan Aruch, Rambam, Choshen Mishpat). • Review Parshas Vayechi, especially Yaakov's blessings, for deeper understanding of Yehuda’s centrality. • Self-Growth: • Reflect on one's own potential and mitzvah observance, finding value in persistent practice even during spiritual difficulty. • Take inspiration from “galus” hardships to discover and actualize latent strengths. • Upcoming Podcast Focus: • Next week: Shovavim period and its themes of teshuva; planned discussion by Parshas Shemos. 3. Follow-up • Parsha-Linked Learning: • Further delve into the parsha’s lessons about leadership, humility, and spiritual legacy. • Address any unanswered “kashas” or student questions from this week’s session in the following episode. • Shovavim Lecture: • Prepare resources/discussion points for the upcoming focus on Shovavim and practical teshuva. • Contact/Engagement: • Listeners encouraged to continue asking questions and to listen for more detailed halachic analyses in future episodes. 4. Notable Figures and Terms Mentioned • Halachic Authorities: Moshe Rabbeinu, Rambam (Maimonides), Rava, Orach Hashulchan, Bach, Taz, Shach, Rav Biderman • Scriptural Sections: Parshas Vayechi, Bereishis 49 (Yaakov’s blessings) • Institutions/Concepts: Sanhedrin, Beis Talmud Torah, Talmud Bavli • Jewish Law References: Choshen Mishpat Simanim Shin Lamed Daled (334), Shin Lamed Hei (335) • Periods: Shovavim (time for reflection and teshuva) 5. Closing Messages • The podcast closes with warm wishes for a “Gut Shabbos” and inspiration for spiritual growth, resilience, and preparation for the Messianic era. • Emphasis on the unique spiritual greatness attainable in current times, and recognition that “donkey-like” persistence is itself a cause for humility even in the greatest leaders.

Unknown 0:04Good afternoon, everyone. It is Wednesday, June 11. And we have some phenomenal things going on in our country right now. The newest thing, which we're going to be speaking about later on in this podcast is that the plume of dust which has developed and develops every year above Africa, and pushes over into the Atlantic Ocean is currently headed into the South Florida area. Dust does inhibit thunderstorm development along with shower development. And as a result, the temperatures might actually start to get hotter in the Florida area, and eventually this dust may actually make it further into the United States if what happens last year, what happened last year happens this year. But more importantly, this dust may prevent some of those hurricanes from forming. Once the dust starts, it pretty much sticks around here until mid August. So this gives us a chance for heatwave development domes of heat to develop without any interruption whatsoever. Once they get started. Now, we do have some tropical storm potential over the next week. So let's give it another week or so before solid dome of heat will finally get set up here in the United States in the Midwest, the Great Lakes area even and parts of the East Coast. I do think we're going to be seeing a hot summer this year. And whatever we saw last week and the end of the week before is an indicator of what we're in for this summer unless hurricanes interfere but now that we have this dust coming in from the Sahara Desert, the chances are we will be I'm not sure what type of effect that's going to have on the hurricane season. But it could be that we're going to phase out of the hurricanes until mid August. And at least after next week, and if that should happen we're going to see a solid dome of heat especially considering the fact that the Upper Midwest has drought conditions going on. So the sun is very efficient heating things up. Today temperatures have gone into the hundreds in Kansas Nebraska and Denver Colorado. Highs in the low hundreds North Dakota highs in the South Dakota highs in the hundreds. Phoenix Arizona expecting a high of 116 degrees today. 118 degrees today. For tomorrow. Las Vegas, Nevada rarely gets 215 degrees Believe it or not, but 115 I think it only hit 115 27 times in the past. However many years since record keeping began. But today 115 degrees is expected temperatures reaching even hotter for tomorrow. 116. Over there Palm Springs California seems like it's one of the hottest cities 116 Today 119 degrees for tomorrow. Death Valley California going up to 126 degrees today. It's very serious heat it's there for an extended stay off in the desert southwest. Very serious stuff. Temperatures are in the 100 and teens over a large area. Temperatures are in the hundreds as well over a large area, including much of Oklahoma expecting highs in the hundreds much of Kansas and places further north than that as well. Headed over into the Midwest temperatures have already hit 97 in Missouri. Temperatures are likely going to go into the hundreds later on today in Missouri. Temperatures going up to 101 degrees in St. Louis, Missouri this upcoming Friday. triple digit heat happens every single year pretty much in St Louis, but it is not a common phenomena and especially not in the month of June. triple digit heat is not common in the month of June at all in St. Louis. Usually there's an encounter of it or two in the month of July or August. But it's rare for this to take place in June. Temperatures in the 90s are common in St. Louis but if the temperature does hit 101 That is more of a rarity. Temperatures here in the Chicago area will be going up into the mid 90s Tomorrow says Tom Skilling and low 90s On Friday, but Friday we're gonna see lower humidity and high pressure system comes out of the Canadian region for next week in temperatures cool off highs only in the 80s I think we are eventually going to see a return of that a dome of heat especially after the these tropical storms and hurricanes are put at rest. If this sand stuff does it does its trick. And then we're gonna see that heat expand from the west coast into the Midwest and the East Coast but the site get ahead of ourselves because we'll just speak about reality right now we have the Jetstream dipping down into the mid Atlantic area for these coasts bringing cooler temperatures their temperatures will remain that way for the next week. And we haveUnknown 5:01The following situation down south we'll be having some issues as a storm system which might develop into a tropical storm moves into that area shortly I wish everybodyThis transcript was generated by https://otter.aiBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weather-with-enthusiasm--4911017/support.

This podcast talks about some of the significance of dew points. Dew point is defined in this podcast. This podcast also discusses the most spectacular (my opinion) weather variable (and its even man made) in regards to humidity. We talk about the Midwest corn fields. The transcript is as follows:Unknown 0:08Good morning, everyone. It is Monday August 2. I wish this could be part of the humidity podcast. But that one is just too long already. I wanted to just discuss, why is it so rare to have at Dewey dewpoints in this country? Why? Why do we not experience the yet the other countries on by the Red Sea in the Persian Gulf, they do experience 80 degree dew points well into the 80s. And we don't what's wrong over here? We have the Gulf of Mexico. So what exactly is wrong, the Gulf of Mexico is really, really warm waters. So first, I, maybe I should explain what dew point is, like I did in the previous podcasts, a couple other podcasts. vouchsafed very quickly, the dew point is the most accurate way to measure humidity in the air, it's the temperature at which the environment would become saturated. So again, we have a large jar holds more water than a small jar, heat expands. So the warmer it is, the larger the air molecules are, the more water vapor it could hold. Relative humidity is how much water vapor is the air holding compared to what it could hold. So what you end up with is 90 degrees with a relative humidity of 50%. Relative humidity of 50% mix is a usually the dew points about 20 degrees lower than the temperature. It's that's not 100%. exactly correct. It depends on what the temperature is. But if you have an air temperature of 90 degrees, relative humidity, 50%, that's holding as much water vapor at 70 degrees could hold. So the relative humidity of 100%. When the temperature 70 would produce a relative humidity of 50% when the temperature is 90. And a lot of times by the way, and 90 degree heat in the afternoon, drops to 70 at night. So it's not uncommon to see the relative humidity close to 100% in the morning, and then drop the 50% in the afternoon. It's not that the humidity is dropping the humidity staying the same. The only differences is the relative humidity relative humidity is important. More so I think it's more important for weather forecasters. And dealing with the environment how much the what are the chances that the precipitation will be evaporating before it touches the ground. And it's more important for forecasters, it doesn't play To my knowledge, it does not play a significant role. And for our purposes, in terms of how the air feels, the only time it would play a significant role is when we're dealing with borderline humidity. So dew points of 60 or higher are considered humid, dew points of 70, or higher or 72 or higher, are considered oppressive, sometimes maybe even Upper 60s. So when dew points are in the 70s, it's going to feel humid, no matter what, when dew points are in the 60s, it's gonna feel humid. But when temperatures get really hot, it's not gonna feel humid, it's gonna feel more dry, there still will be a heat index of a degree or two, but it's gonna feel a little bit more dry, the relative humidity is so low in the morning, it's gonna feel humid. And when dew points are in the 60s, I think you do need a higher relative humidity in order for it to feel for it to have that moist feeling. And I think if if it's in the Upper 50s with the relative humidity of 100%, I think it's also going to have that moist feeling as well. So I think that's where the relative humidity plays a role and comfort level in when dew points are in the 60s, and also in the winter in terms of that damp feeling. But again, we go back to our question is why are dew points higher than 80 so rare here in this country. Now one thing you have to realize is that the temperature always has to be higher than the dew point. So the only time dew points of 80 degrees could occur is if the basically the...Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weather-with-enthusiasm--4911017/support.

This Podcast can be split into 3 parts. Each part is approximately 10 minutes (give or take a minute or two). The information presented in the final part might be needed to fully understand the 1st part and 2nd part for some individuals. The information presented in the 2nd part helps develop a greater appreciation for the information being presented in the 1st part. One can therefore argue that this podcast is out of order. Perhaps it is for non-weather enthusiasts but for weather enthusiasts all of the excitement is in the 1st part. A weather enthusiast can turn this podcast off after 12 minutes. However some might find the 2nd part a little entertaining.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weather-with-enthusiasm--4911017/support.

There were 3 extreme high humidity impact days in the Midwest during the Summer of 2021. Dew points went into the 80s on each of these days. In this podcast a recap of some of the Midwest dew points on July 29th 2021 are given. Thus was the 2nd extreme 80°+ Dew Point day in Midwest during the 2021 Summer. This podcast includes the effect that cornfields, oceans, lakes, flooded soil has on dew points, along with dew points impact on humidity. In addition it includes some of the impacts that relative humidity has especially when combined with heat. There is a segment in this podcast that defines dew point and another segment which helps people develop an appreciation for the dew point. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/weather-with-enthusiasm/supportBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weather-with-enthusiasm--4911017/support.

0:02Good morning everyone. It is August and then it's in the late morning and today is finally here an exciting day because it is extremely humid outside and the dew points are really really high. This is a rarity here in the Chicago area. Right now the state of Illinois is the most human state in the country and we're seeing dew point, the maximum dew point in the past 12 hours was a sauna like 84 degrees. It's reporting on one website. Dark Sky says that parts of the Chicago area currently have a dew point of 81 degrees. The National Weather Service weather app says the dew point 78 degrees. Other sources say that the dew point the official dew point in Chicago 76 degrees. Midway according to one side says the dew point 74 degrees. So we certainly been a hard time trying to figure out what the dew point is here in the Chicago area. But either way, probably the strongest indicator that we actually do have dew points currently in the Upper 70s and even low 80s low 80s. Imagine that low at dew point is from the National Weather Service Forecast discussion, where it says the dew points today will remain in the Upper 70s and low 80s remain meaning they have gone up into the upper 70s and low 80s accuweather.com is reporting maximum dew points to be occurring late this afternoon at 79 degrees, and they have their models a little bit off for right now though what do they say the dew point at noon will be 71 degrees, but it's already in the Upper 70s. But either way, perhaps there are places in Chicago where the dew point is only in the low 70s. And perhaps each weather station is reporting a different viewpoints. But by late afternoon dew points will be in the upper 70s. And the National Weather Service has pointed out that there will even be some locations with dew points in the low 80s. This is as high as it can possibly get. The record for Chicago has a dew point of 83 degrees. That's the highest dew point ever recorded in Chicago. So we are approaching record territory here. And what's amazing about this is that it's not just we're approaching record territory, but it also the highest dewpoints in the country are occurring right over the Chicago area. Now South Bend Indiana also is having very high dew points a little bit less than the Chicago area. dew points between 75 and 76 degrees. dew points will likely go a little bit higher as the day progresses. He didn't afternoon he didn't disease top out between 95 and 105. For South Bend, Indiana. He didn't he's expected to be around 110 area wide in the Chicago area. Heat advisories in effect for Chicago possibly for South Bend as well until 7pm this evening. Now the one variable that is might mess up this heat is if thunderstorms develop this afternoon. As of now the thunderstorms are expected to hold off until this evening. Some of those storms could be severe, especially with damaging wind 55 to 65 mile per hour wind gusts with an AccuWeather max of 80 miles per hour. There also could be an isolated tornado and large hail. But the main thing will be the damaging winds with these storms. And it's unbelievable the amount of humidity obviously the amount of humidity these storms are dealing with is the highest in the world. This is as intense as it gets really probably on par with the monsoon in India. Just about you know for a week the dew points for between 80 and 81 degrees in New Delhi, India. We're seeing two points here that are places currently dew points are in the low 80s. And parts of Illinois as we speak. And the maximum dew point I don't know if this is official or unofficial was 84 degrees within the past 12 hours here in Illinois. dew points elsewhere in the country it is very difficult to find an 80 degree dew point unless you go down into Galveston, Texas or Corpus Christi, Texas, otherwise plenty of Upper 70s. Lots of Upper 70s. For dew points. There's an 80 degree dew point here and there in the Iowa area.4:16dew points of 80 degrees...Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weather-with-enthusiasm--4911017/support.

The Western U.S., Plains, Midwest, Great Lakes and Mid Atlantic areas are in the midst of an active weather pattern this week. There severe weather of all types over much of this country. From 0° winter weather in parts of Utah and Idaho to 110° heat indices in Rio Grand Village Texas this podcast covers it all. From the blinding blizzards in the inter mountain areas of the northwest to the blinding dust storms in the deserts to the baseball size hail in Oklahoma and coastal flooding with tornadoes this podcast covers it all. The Midwest is in unprecedented consistency in humidity with warm nights for the month of October. Records are being broken daily. To find put about all this and more listen to this podcast. This podcast is delivered with feeling. There are also questions asked along with possible answers. Its 34 minutes of weather. If you are interested in the weather part ONLY then proceed to the following podcast which is 18 minutes shorter. It is common for there to be 2 minute songs at the end of each podcast.

And we are in the midst of living through an unprecedented event for the month of October for us who come from the Midwest. We're actually going to this event is going to intensify as the week goes on. We have not dropped below 60 degrees yet this month of October, it's already October 10. Temperatures have failed to fall below 60. Now, why have they failed to fall below 60. So someone might want to say that. You know why? Because the daytime highs were around 80. Well, you know, if the daytime highs were around 80, then we would be talking about another unprecedented event for temperatures to be 80 degrees for the first 10 days of October. Certainly the temperatures were 80 degrees i We could hear why The overnight lows did not drop below 60. But when you look back last week, and you see those daytime highs are 68 degrees, 67 degrees, 69 degrees. And then you look at the overnight lows, 65 degrees, different 60 This degrees and 60 degrees, you have to wonder what is going on here, we have the nights are 13 hours long, temperatures start dropping even before skier even before sunset, the temperature start dropping, so we have 15 hours of dropping temperatures. So 15 hours of dropping temperatures we had one day the high was 68. The low was 65. But that was so okay, that doesn't. Let's say the high was 68. And that night, let's say it was 63. Let's just say I think it might have even been less than five degrees, you have five degrees within 15 hours. So we're talking aboutUnknown 2:16dropping one degree every three hours. So a third of the degree in our What can possibly be causing that a third of the degree in our? Well, the answer is the dew points, the dew points, the humidity, the humidity is tremendous insulation here in the city and the temperatures are just not dropping, they can't drop below the dew point and the humidity stays. Now why is there so much humidity and why so much consistency. I don't even know if we see such consistency in July. And we do we do see consistency in July. But even in July, we do get these Canadian air masses every now and then we're dew points dropped into the 50s. In fact, at the very end of July this year, dew points dropped into the 40s. But we've seen such consistency like this is just 10 days temperatures have not dropped below 60 Dew points have remained above 60 degrees.Unknown 3:10And the question again is why? So I've read in an article something very interesting. It's because the sun is so weak, the wetness of the ground is just not evaporating and significant pace and therefore the dew points remain high. It is the weakness of the sun that is causing all the warmth right now, we still have vegetation all over the place, the growing season is coming to an end for many places out west. Even in the southwest,...Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weather-with-enthusiasm--4911017/support.

0:39Good evening everyone. It is Sunday, October 10 And I just wanted to give a summary of the previous podcast which contained 34 minutes of weather. I'm going to try to get this done in five minutes 15 minutes max. On the weather map but the most significant thing that's taking place right now is a low pressure system that has dived from the northwest or actually this low pressure system was part of a piece of energy that went into reach to the Rockies split into two. One of them became a strong storm system that moved up into North Dakota and brought a severe weather outbreak yesterday. It's possible that that system is bringing some severe weather into northeast Minnesota and parts of Wisconsin this evening, but a more significant storm system, which also came out of this piece of Energy has moved into the southern Colorado area or into Kansas, the southeast part of this storm system is where we have the severe weather outbreak, Oklahoma, it really is the center of all of this severe weather there's a Tornado Watch in effect until 10 o'clock pm for much of Oklahoma and north Texas, North Central Texas, also some parts of Southeast West southeast Kansas and southwest Missouri and Western Oregon's also have a very good chance of seeing severe weather. The highest chance for tornadoes are going to be this evening and then the damaging the most damaging part of these storms is going to roll onto, it's gonna change over to damaging wind as we go through the night, there's a good chance that these thunderstorms which are hitting this right now are going to develop into a squall line later on tonight bringing damaging winds up to 80 miles per hour, possibly even 90 miles per hour in some locations Flash Flood Watch has also an effect for parts of Oklahoma where very heavy downpours is expected and that could cause flash flooding on the other hand, only one to two inches of rain of widespread rain is expected over there but, which is heavy rain but the flash flooding will likely be a result of rainfall accumulations that are higher than one to two inches, large hail to the size of baseballs is also a possibility with some of this severe weather one of the highest dangers with this situation right now is the fact that it's going to be occurring in the night, and that's always more dangerous situation and when these tornadoes occurred during the day the safest place to be would be in a basement away from windows that would be the safest place to sleep. If you are in one of those areas. This low pressure system then move on to the Great Lakes, tomorrow and severe, and the Ohio Valley that's going to be affected by the severe weather tomorrow, chances for severe weather aren't just a possibility there's also a possibility for tornadoes even in the Chicago area, but much less of a possibility than what has been happening in Oklahoma. But there is one thing, extra that's going to be happening in Chicago that is the storms are going to be moving really quickly 50 to 60 miles per hour, which means once a tornado warning is issued if it is issued, there will not be much time to prepare for the most likely damage severe threat in the Chicago area is going to be damaging wind, strong winds just above the surface, 50 to 60 miles per hour is what's going to be pushing these storms, but thunderstorms tend to bring winds down to the surface. So those are the types of winds that might be coming down to the surface whenever you have strong winds, there's always a chance for large deal as well. So there is a possible chance for severe weather for places like St. Louis, Missouri Chicago Illinois Detroit, Michigan, and Cedar Rapids, Michigan as well. And I am not sure about Indiana. I know Northwest Indiana and one would think this would include Indiana, but there was one map I saw in regards to something that excluded in northeast Indiana and I don't know if this is what it is.4:45Anyways, a cold front comes through as...Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weather-with-enthusiasm--4911017/support.

This podcast discusses the 29.2 deep low over the Dekotas that is responsible for a large variety of weather for the Plains, Inter Mountain West, Midwest, Texas and Southwest. Hurricane Pamela and it's associated flooding is included. The warm High Pressure Ridge on the East Coast is included. The ACE measurement to measure tropical storm energy for Pacific and Atlantic Ocean is included. New Storm System in the Northwest is included. The impact the hurricane will have on both cotton and corn is included. 1 variable in how long term hurricane forecasts is explained along with some info on how computer models forecast weather each season.Unknown 0:10Good evening, everyone, it is Wednesday, October 13. And here is the weather synopsis for the United States. And first, I want to say that if anyone's interested in hearing just a quick weather synopsis with the forecast for Chicago, you can go to my other podcasts, it's just called Quick weather synopsis. And you can hear that it's was made this morning, this is more of an in depth discussion.Unknown 0:35That's what's gonna be going on on this podcast right now. We have probably the most dynamic part of this weather or the the system that's creating the most significant weather over the largest part of this country is a deep low pressure system located in South North Dakota. barometric pressure is 29.2, it certainly is a deep low pressure and the storm system is moving in a unique path, it's moving directly north and is headed into Canada, Manitoba. The system is going to weakened slightly but remain a deep low pressure system, it's going to weaken to 29.3. And it's going to continue to move directly north. It's not moving northeast, north, north east, slightly northeast, but really, it's taking the most intense track possible to produce heavy snow. This is what the North Eastern a lot of times do. There's also a call flow which moves right up the Mississippi River. And when that happens in the winter time, that's when the heaviest snowfall occurs. So there's no question we have cities also that have responded to this their cities in Montana. But as of this morning, one city got 28 inches of snow, another one. That's somewhere in the 20s others in the upper teens, and I believe the snow is still falling with an additional eight to 12 inches expected in some spots, the names of those cities, you could look up, I had the names, but it's going to create too much of apsic in this podcasts going to create an interruption here, so I'm just gonna leave it at that. And we also that low pressure system is producing other hazards as well. As I mentioned this morning, as severe weather outbreak is also on the side of that system on the south east side is it usually is now originally the Storm Prediction Center put Chicago and a marginallyUnknown 2:34chance for severe weather about a 10% chance. But that line moved further west. Now here's what's happening over here, because there was something that changed the major variable that changed, which is very much no gear has tremendous connection to the Chicago weather. And it's the exact opposite of what happened this past Sunday. And I want to explain that as well, because that requires an explanation. And I'll tell you why it requires an explanation in just a minute. The low pressure system earlier today, that storm system had a lot of forcing to it and the storms were developing right along where the warm front and the cold front came together. And that also where there was a lot of forcing a lot of energy in the upper atmosphere producing thunderstorm development, lots of lightning report in Missouri and in Iowa, the thunderstorm development continued moving east and Northeast away from where the most intense forcing is away from the intense low pressure system. And therefore the thunderstorms gradually reduced the gradually weekend. And they continue to weaken. And that's why that's one...Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weather-with-enthusiasm--4911017/support.

Unknown 0:04Good evening, everyone. It is right now.Unknown 0:08modes a shot is right now. I'm just going to explain the previous podcasts got cut off in the middle because it was getting close to Chavez. But the second half of that podcast is going to be on this podcast I'm putting it on right now. And I hope everybody enjoys.Unknown 0:27Please enjoy. AndUnknown 0:31yeah.Unknown 0:46Santa Ana winds are developing perhaps because of a high pressure system located on the border of Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. That high pressure system is going to be moving into Texas tomorrow. But let's stay focused on to the south east California.Unknown 1:02The East winds regardless of why there are East winds, winds are coming out of the East we have Santa Ana winds. The thing about these winds are that they're more easterly than usual more easily than usual means there's more down sloping involved. And when there's more down sloping, temperatures are warmer. And that's when we reach our peak. We are in mid October, temperatures expected to go into the low 90s in Los Angeles today and tomorrow. The newspapers are not forecasting that but I don't know why they're saying low to mid 80s. But low 90s and Los Angeles. Temperatures in Phoenix, Arizona are going to be cooler than that mid 80s. What is the audience feel? I want to know about heat. It's not comfortable, right? It's a heat but do I have real weather enthusiasts but love it the heat like I want to knowUnknown 2:08all the audience loved that. I can I can tell we heard B bells. We had guns yet cameras people taking pictures up. So I see we do love heat. That's wonderful. That means I do not have a normal audience in front of me. We have true weather enthusiasts, but I do want to know, what does everyone feel about those severe storms? Well, what does everyone feel about the rain? Let's start off with that. What do people feel about the rain?Unknown 2:43Really?Unknown 2:45Yeah, I guess cuz. Boring, right? It just rain.Unknown 2:50What if there's Thunder added to that rain?Unknown 2:56Thunder added to the rain. I don't hear a response.Unknown 3:00I don't need a response. That's amazing. What if it's almost a severe thunderstorm?Unknown 3:10Because it's almost there, but not quite right. What is the audience feel?Unknown 3:15Your comms what is the audience feel about severe thunderstorms meaning you already have to do deal with it. There's already precipitation falling its falling so now you have a severe storm you get to watch trees blow down onto on toUnknown 3:38I'm glad you got that array and first because you pulled down onto power lines. What is a? What is that?Unknown 3:48Now I hope people are not hurrying I mean I already know I have a sensitive audience in front of me. So but the whole Ray must have been at the whole site the whole site maybe they pull down on the power lines and everyone's safe you lose power. It's so exciting. Right? Isn't that what it was? I mean, what do people feel about?Unknown 4:12Whoa, it's down. Come on.Unknown 4:15Down.Unknown 4:20They took a picture.Unknown 4:22Okay, anyways,Unknown 4:24moving right along over to the northwest part of our country. That's what we have significant stuff we have that hypothesis in the high pressure is centered right over the area that got the heaviest snow from the blizzard earlier this week on the Idaho Montana Wyoming border, perhaps high pressure I mean not perhaps high pressure is attracted to cold air because cold air sinks and high pressure sinks. So it could develop real quick when it's over cold there. Perhaps there's so much snow there. It's coldest...Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weather-with-enthusiasm--4911017/support.

Unknown 0:01Good morning, everyone. It is Sunday, April 24, very early Sunday morning, you've had quite interesting weather that's taking place over this country over the past couple of days. We're going to focus on North Platte, Nebraska over the past couple of days. Let's go back to Friday. High temperature in North Platte, Nebraska says the National Weather Service was a sizzling 97 degrees. That's something absolutely amazing. We also had a relative humidity really low at that time. But the winds were very high. If you look at the National Weather Service, the climatological data that will show that the heat index was only 91 degrees. That's because of the very low relative humidity the very low dew points to temperatures in the upper 40s. However, there is one very important thing to point out over here is that the winds were 31 miles per hour out of the south, that's the sustained winds for 31 miles per hour from the south, it's the 31, the 31 mile power that's very significant here, and that that changes everything, the heat index would have been lower than the temperature as the National Weather Service says based upon the humidity alone. The heat and humidity, the heat index chart is based upon winds assuming the winds are 5.6 miles per hour approximately. So if you were to have that you were to have light winds in North Point in Nebraska on Friday, the temperature would have actually felt like 91 degrees. And that's talking about at a time, that's a time when it was 96 degrees. So when it was 97, let's say the heat index probably was 92 degrees. But there's something else that's not well known. And that's when the winds are really strong, and the temperatures are 95 degrees or higher. The winds will actually make it feel hotter than what it actually is, unless the relative humidity is really high. Or we should say the humidity is really high. If the humidity isn't 100%, the winds will still make it feel cooler, winds ordinarily make it feel cooler, the winter still make you feel cooler, if the relative humidity is really high. It's really complex, because the heat index is going to be way up there, because the relative humidity is really high or you should say the humidity, but the winds are actually going to make that heat index lower than what it would have been. But in a situation when it's dry when the relative humidity is under 40%. Which in North Platte, Nebraska, it was probably around 20% a 30 mile per hour wind is actually going to make it feel hotter outside. Let's go ahead and say for now the temperature probably felt about what it was 97 degrees, maybe it's like 98 degrees. It certainly felt one or two degrees warmer than what the heat index is being reported from the National Weather Service. That heat index again is based upon the heat and humidity. The question is, was it one or two degrees warmer than the temperature or was a one or two degrees warmer than the heat index, that heat index would have been 92 degrees that would have made the new heat index or the real field temperature 94 degrees or was viewfield temperature 98 degrees or 99 degrees that's something that is needs to be looked into currently in North Dakota right now we have a blizzard warning in effect, there's heavy snow that's falling all over the place. We also have an ice storm taking place in that part of the region. This is phenomenal stuff that's going on. The closed LO is filling in therefore the conveyor belt of moisture feeding into the storm system is being caught off right now. However there still is plenty of moisture on the backside of the storm system reports the National Weather Service so the precipitation rates will remain heavy for the remainder of the night through at least mid morning. Snowfall accumulations are going to be way up there for many locations. There's already been a foot of snow in some areas as a 930 This evening earlier this evening. Another 10 to 15 inches is forecasted by mid morning in the storms bull's eye. Before the precipitation starts to die down low pressure system is weakening. But it was a powerhouse. And we're still feeling the effects of that in the heavy precipitation rates. There also has been power outages reported across North Dakota and perhaps even parts of South Dakota and Montana as well. Elsewhere in the country.Unknown 4:39We'll just quickly talk about the east coast we have some really warm air making it up into the mid Atlantic area. This will be affecting Washington DC as temperatures rise into the 80s later today. Baltimore Maryland has a chance also of seeing 80 degree warmth. The thing is however, there is a high pressure system There's two of them. One high pressure system is situated over off the coast of the Mid Atlantic area, perhaps like North Carolina or so. The other one is off the coast of perhaps New Jersey, especially by this afternoon, Sunday afternoon. And depending on what flow Baltimore ends up in, that's going to determine their temperatures are going to be warm weather conditions will be warm by late afternoon or not. And the question is, Will Baltimore managed to hit 80 degrees before the cooler flow? It's the city. I think it will. But not all forecasts agree. Washington DC has a much higher chance of seeing temperatures soar into the mid 80s. But Baltimore, I think will also get into the low 80s. But that is the that's the wildcard Baltimore's forecast is probably the most complex on the East Coast. When you go further north of Baltimore temperatures remain in the low 60s. They will be impacted by that cooler high pressure system up off the Atlantic coast, the northern part of the coast instead of the southern part of the course. Given the potential for thunderstorms they'll move through the Chicago area later on this morning with a possible severe weather risk. Any area along the front is that front moves through the Midwest this morning. Temperatures will likely go into the 70s before the cooler air moves through over a large portion of the Midwest. Temperatures returning into the 80s for Cincinnati, Ohio. Thank you for listening.
