  • HTA Tropical Storm Watch Issued for Olivia
    For Immediate Release: September 9, 2018 HTA Release (18-55) Tropical Storm Watch Issued for O‘ahu, Maui County and Island of Hawai‘i in Response to Olivia HONOLULU – Today, at 5:00 p.m. HST, the National Weather Service issued a tropical storm watch for O‘ahu, Maui County and the island of Hawai‘i in response to Hurricane Olivia, meaning that tropical storm conditions are possible within the next 48 hours. Presently a category 1 hurricane, Olivia is forecast to weaken to a tropical storm as it moves closer to the Hawaiian Islands over the next couple of days. Olivia has been steadily weakening since the storm briefly peaked as a Category 4 hurricane in the Eastern Pacific on September 7. As of 5:00 p.m. HST, the center of Olivia was approximately 595 miles east-northeast of Hilo on the island of Hawai‘i and 760 miles east of Honolulu. Olivia has maximum sustained winds of 75 miles per hour and is moving west at 12 miles per hour. The onset of Olivia’s weather impacts are currently forecast to begin affecting Hawai‘i late Tuesday, September 11. Weather impacts from Olivia are projected to initially affect northeast and east shores throughout the Hawaiian Islands. This could include very strong winds, high surf conditions and storm surge along shorelines, and heavy rainfall with the potential for flooding. HTA strongly advises residents and visitors to be prepared for Olivia. This includes having access to an adequate supply of food, water, medications and essential goods. Everyone is strongly encouraged to follow the instructions of Hawai‘i’s civil defense officials and to not take any risks that would put them in danger from Olivia while the storm is completing its pass of the Hawaiian Islands.

    <b>West Henrico Co. - Glen Allen Weather History</b> OCTOBER 21ST - 31ST WEATHER HISTORY http://www.examiner.com/weather-in-wilmington/charlie-wilson Charlie Wilson Wilmington Weather ExaminerSubscribeSponsor an Examiner A member of the American Meteorological Society, Charlie Wilson has combined his knowledge of Meteorology & Weather History with his Education background in Communications. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- October 21st: 1492 Columbus made landfall on San Salvador Island under clear skies. Fortunately, he met no hurricanes on the first voyage through March of 1493, although the "Santa Maria" was wrecked on a reef off of Cuba. 1638 A tornado struck a church in southwest England during a service, reportedly killing as many as 50 people. 1743 Benjamin Franklin made the revolutionary discovery that the wind in storm systems rotate in a counter clockwise direction. Franklin was waiting in Philadelphia, PA that night to view a lunar eclipse, but had his opportunity foiled by a nor'easter. Franklin later discovered that his brother in Boston, MA was able to observe the eclipse clearly and the storm did not arrive at his location until four hours later. It puzzled Franklin that the system seemed to move from southwest to northeast even though winds at his location were from the northeast. He theorized the winds in the storm system must have been rotating around a center. A brilliant deduction considering he had no satellite to show the big picture. 1780 Spanish Admiral Solano was en-route from Havana, Cuba to Pensacola, FL to capture the important port city. The 3rd major hurricane of the month swept north through the Gulf of Mexico catching and scattering the fleet of 64 warships.
