Ever wondered what's causing the recent surge in the unusually thick smoke across parts of the United States such as in New York? Join us as we attempt to unravel this mystery. In this episode, we explore the connection between two stagnant air masses in the region and how this weather pattern is rare for the Summer. This synoptic setup could be contributing to the intensity of the influx of wildfire smoke from Canada into areas like New York, Pennsylvania, and even major cities like Baltimore and Washington DC.We also delve into the complexities of our ever-changing weather and it's domino effect. Discover how rain was removed from the forecast due to the stability that smoke provides in the upper atmosphere.

Expansive Northeast Hot Dry Winds: Week of 5-28-23 with added segment on Arctic Heat.

May 29, 2023

31:38

Summer Heat Becomes Expansive With A Rapid Onset Of Drought Conditions Over The Midwest Cornbelt. This episode speaks about the intense solar insolation in the upper latitudes this time of year. This helps to explain the heat that is coming from the north. This warmest air will blow into the Midwest on Northeast winds by Friday for some places reaching St.Louis by Saturday. The sun will be even more efficient heating this air than the southeast wind air it will be replacing. This is due to the lower dew points. We discuss accumulating hail in the plains to the point that the National Weather Service is warning motorists to drive like they would in the snow. We discuss how the immediate Chicago area might miss the heat entirely due to the Eastern component to the wind which will allow cooler air from the Lake to mix in. This doesn't include all of Chicago. The Brookfield Zoo for example will probably get very warm. We discuss how peak intensity of the heat will be taking place over the parts of the Midwest corn belt that are in the beginning of a drought. We also discuss how no widespread dangerous heat is expected. However, this heat is expansive and will be covering a large part of Canada as well. Therefore, Environmental Canada is likely to issue a heat advisory at some point. We also have a number of larger metropolitan areas that are under air quality alert due to high ozone, Chicago and St.Louis are a couple examples. We discuss how the 86° - 95° F (30°-35°C) heat will come in on East winds but despite this, the cities close to the cold water lakes will still get very warm. (The exception will be the immediate Lakeshore cities such as Chicago). Further inland, temperatures are likely to surpass 95°F (35°C) in at least isolated spots. At the time of this episode it appeared that the most likely spot for this would be the southeastern portions of Iowa that border Illinois on Saturday. 95° heat could be expansive on Saturday and include other locations within the Midwest Corn Belt within the drought stricken areas (Eastern portions).This episode contains the same information as the episode published Monday 5-29 but has 2 added segments. Although both of these segments are rough drafts they contain meaningful information especially in regards to the Arctic and solar insolation.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weather-with-enthusiasm--4911017/support.

Temporary Increase in Global Temperatures as El Nino develops

May 22, 2023

19:00

This episode mentions the IPCC report in regards to the importance of keeping the average global temperature at 1.5c° or lower. We discuss how there will likely be a temporary rise above this level due to an El Nino that is in the process of developing. It should be pointed out that since this rise will only be temporary it likely will not pose the threat that the IPCC mentions will happen. We discuss how and why greenhouse gasses are increasing at least a double rate in Alaska and how this is connected to the permafrost. We discuss how the impact that global warming will have on the many places in the world is not clear. For example it is possible that while storms will be more potent it is possible that dust will decrease the number of storms. The quick pace of the warming arctic might also decrease the number of storms based upon the way this interacts with the jet stream. We also mention that there are different opinions on this. Rising sea levels are therefore the greatest threat to humanity in most likelihood. We discuss the significant role trees and soil have in regards to reducing greenhouse gasses. We discuss a very unique tropical storm that formed in the upper latitudes in mid January and the possibility of tropical storm development within the next 2 or 3 weeks according to AccuWeather.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weather-with-enthusiasm--4911017/support.

"Supercell" Movie (clean, thrilling, educational) entertainment. To be released March 17th

Mar 14, 2023

7:16

I recommend this movie because it is clean entertainment (at the very end there is a kissing scene) is educational about weather and grief. It is a heart racing movie. "What happens when you take Steven Spielberg, John Williams, the movie Twister and throw it in a blender? You get the audacious film Supercell from first time filmmaker Herbert James "Jamie" Winterstern starring Anne Heche in one of her final film roles. Raised on a steady diet of Amblin, Jamie wears his influences on his sleeve (but in the best possible way). The film sort of needs to be seen to be believed and you will be left wondering how the filmmaker managed to make such an amazing-looking and sounding film on such a modest budget. And while Supercell may seem like just a movie about modern day storm chasing (which legitimately brings in thrill seeking tourists dollars to the region every year), it is at its core a human story about the grief of a young man searching for his identity. The film is set for PVOD release from Saban Films on March 17 and also stars Skeet Ulrich, Daniel Diemer, newcomer Jordan Kristine Seamón, and Alec Baldwin."Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weather-with-enthusiasm--4911017/support.
