Last week, NOAA satellites tracked Debby, a storm that impacted Florida’s Big Bend region near Steinhatchee before moving up the East Coast, causing widespread flooding and damaging winds as far north as New York state with numerous destructive tornadoes along its path| National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service
The world of government information continues to be in a state of topsy-turviness. Last month, on a Tuesday, NOAA suddenly announced that on the following Monday, the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) and Navy’s Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center (FNMOC) would “discontinue ingest, processing and distribution of all DMSP data no later than June […] The post Once-cancelled hurricane-monitoring data to stay online (for now) first appeared on Free Government I...| Free Government Information (FGI)

Due to Hurricane Helene, the National Centers for Environmental Information’s data center in Asheville is currently shut down. Our colleagues at NCEI have confirmed that all of their staff are safe and accounted for in the wake of the storm. Since the preliminary statistics and statewide rankings are unavailable, our monthly climate summary for September will have a different format than usual. | North Carolina State Climate Office
Torrential rainfall from the remnants of Hurricane Helene capped off three days of extreme, unrelenting precipitation, which left catastrophic flooding and unimaginable damage in our Mountains and southern Foothills. It was close to a worst-case scenario for western North Carolina as seemingly limitless tropical moisture, enhanced by interactions with the high terrain, yielded some of| North Carolina State Climate Office

Atlantic hurricane season officially began recently, kicking off a disaster season that will run from June 1 through November 30. According to predictions from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the 2023 hurricane season will consist of 12 to 17 named storms, five to nine hurricanes and one to four major hurricanes. This falls into a fairly average range, but “average” is a bit unusual under the conditions currently emerging around the season.| Risk Management Monitor
