Precision Weather Service

WINTER ARRIVES! Plenty of warmth in the east, but this morning we are On Air with some of our Precision Weather Service, Montana radio stations warning of a foot of snow.

JUST LIKE THAT...Reports in from Hurricane Hunter aircraft indicating winds have now reached 75 mph, thus Hurricane Laura. Atmospheric conditions are favorable, and over 85-88 degree Gulf waters, look for fairly rapid intensification. PHOTO is visible satellite just after sunrise today.

VERY BUSY hurricane season ahead!
Colorado State University UPDATED their tropical prediction Wednesday to an even more active and potentially dangerous season.

We just had Isaias, the soonest we've reached the letter I.

The update calls for a total of 24 named storms (average any given year in the Atlantic is 12). More worrisome, the update calls for 5 major hurricanes in the Atlantic (Category 3 or higher). We haven't had a major hurricane yet this season.

NOTE the Atlantic hurricane season typically peaks September 10th. The next names are Josephine, Kyle and Laura.
