昨天,一架德雷乔飞机穿过中西部从内布拉斯加州飞往俄亥俄州,产生了超过500次严重的破坏性地震暴风雨报道并导致100多万人断电。
逆风是一种强烈的风暴线,它产生的直线风会造成严重的破坏。
该地区最高的风速是在爱荷华州的林县,每小时112英里。
在伊利诺斯州的李县,风速达到每小时92英里,在芝加哥的林肯广场,气象观测记录到风速达到每小时85英里。
与此同时,东北部仍有数千人因上周的热带风暴而断电,热浪将继续在那里肆虐。
从新泽西到缅因州的八个州正在接受热咨询,有些地区可能感觉温度在95到102度之间。
那么这种类似桑拿的天气什么时候会在东北结束呢?看来要到星期四和星期三才会是又一个又热又潮湿的日子。
在西方,天气非常干燥,伴随着不稳定的阵风,野火迅速蔓延。
由于这些干燥多风的条件,科罗拉多州西部的灰熊溪大火蔓延如此之快,以至于70号州际公路不得不在一夜之间关闭。
这场大火现在占地1300英亩,目前还不知道如何控制火势。
十个西部州处于红旗警告、火灾天气监视和过热监视之下。
科罗拉多州西部预计将会有接近30英里每小时的阵风,相对湿度低至7%。
加州南部的沙漠和亚利桑那州(包括菲尼克斯)已经发布了一份过热监测报告,预计到本周末气温将达到110到120度。
More than a million without power in Midwest from severe storms, heat wave continues Northeast
A derecho moved through the Midwest yesterday from Nebraska to Ohio producing more than 500 damaging severestormreports and leaving more than one million people without power.
A derecho is a powerful line of severe storms that produces straight line winds that can cause major damage.
The highest winds in this derecho were in Linn County, Iowa, of 112 mph.
In Lee County, Illinois, winds gusted to 92 mph and in Chicago’s Lincoln Square, a weather observation recorded a wind gust to 85 mph.
Meanwhile, the Northeast still has thousands of people that are without power from last week’s Tropical Storm as the heat wave is set to continue there.
Eight states from New Jersey to Maine are under Heat Advisory where some areas could feel like it’s 95 to 102 degrees.
So when will this sauna-like weather will be over in the Northeast? Looks like not until Thursday and Wednesday will be another hot and humid day.
In the West, it’s bone dry with erratic gusty winds that are spreading wildfires quickly.
Because of these dry and windy conditions, the Grizzly Creek Fire in western Colorado spread so quickly that interstate 70 had to be shut down overnight.
The fire is now covers 1,300 acres and containment is currently unknown.
Ten western states are under Red Flag Warnings, Fire Weather Watches and Excessive Heat Watches.
Western Colorado is expected to see gusty winds to near 30 mph with relative humidity as low as 7%.
An Excessive Heat Watch has been issued for southern California deserts and into Arizona including Phoenix where temperatures are expected to reach 110 to 120 by the end of the week.
