    Weather 101: Recapping a summer season full of extreme and unusual weather (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    A glance at the raw numbers doesn’t say much about this past summer season. But it will be remembered for its fortuitous bouts of extreme and unusual weather, including tornadoes, wildfire smoke, record temperatures, and a macroburst that will be remembered for some time. Meteorological summer, whose season ran from June 1 to August 31, has just come to an end. These dates are used to make the season "uniform" in both time and date for stat-keeping purposes. We’ve still got some time until a

    Weather 101: The hottest decade- What made the 1930s so different? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The 1930s were an exceptionally unique decade. The ten-year period brought about the Great Depression, the radio boom, and the start of World War II. In the United States, this particular decade also was responsible for the hottest summers in many record books. Locally, six of the top ten hottest summers in Youngstown’s history fall between 1930 and 1939. The ferocious summer of 1934 ranks first, with an average temperature (including days and nights) of an uncomfortable 74.6°. In 1936, while

    Weather 101: The science and index behind air quality (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    From stinging eyes to fiery sunsets, wildfire smoke across the Valley this week has been the cause for lots of changes. But the biggest change of them all has to do with our health. The smoke, carrying microscopic particles, has dealt a major blow to air quality across our region. One way we can determine air quality is by using the air quality index (AQI). The U.S Air Quality Index (AQI) is a tool to communicate the state of outdoor air and its impact on our health. This index uses a numeric v

    Weather 101: Tornadoes and macrobursts- what’s the difference? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    In the wake of Sunday’s severe thunderstorms, the National Weather Service in Cleveland confirmed a tornado and macroburst were the causes of widespread damage along the U.S. Rt. 224 corridor. The full details of the event can be investigated here. With winds of 95 mph and 90 mph, respectively, the two wind events clocked in with similar intensities, but provided a vastly different scope of damage across the Valley. The contrast between these events can be broken down to the way both of these

    How did Sunday’s storms develop? A look ahead at more unsettled weather (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    A cluster of severe thunderstorms caused a widespread plume of flooding and damage across the Valley. The Storm Tracker 21 team broke into local programming twice- around 1:30 pm and 2:00 pm- to cover two separate tornado warnings that included towns in western and eastern Mahoning County, respectively. Pop-up areas of convection began to bubble up west of our viewing area around noon Sunday. Just before 1:00 pm, a thunderstorm entering Trumbull County began to show signs of broad upper-level ro
