Why won't the fall equinox be equal? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
by George Waldenberger,KOMOMeteorologist Today, we’re off to the Equinox—not just a trendy, overpriced gym, but also one of two moments each year when the sun is directly overhead the equator. It happens at 5:05 p.m., officially turning a page in our seasonal book to the autumn chapter. As we learned in elementary school, equinox comes from Latin for “equal night,” suggesting exactly 12 hours of day and 12 hours of night. But Seattle actually gets a dime extra: 12 hours and 10 minutes of dayligh
How robotic boats are used to study El Nino (opens the original)
Read excerpt
by George Waldenberger, KOMO Meteorologist Saildrones are robotic boats that can be operated remotely -- and they’ve even sailed into hurricanes. But these vehicles can hunt for more than storms. A team of four has launched to study what could become one of the strongest El Ninos on record. So, how do you track something that big? Traditionally, stationary buoys monitor unusually warm ocean water across the Pacific. These saildrones will add to that data network. Unlike their tethered counterpar
Is Mount Rainier shrinking? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
by George Waldenberger, KOMO Meteorologist Researcher Eric Gilbertson with Seattle University is not only proving that, but he's trying to figure out "how much." For decades, Columbia Crest, an ice-capped point, was considered the summit of Mount Rainier, measured at about 14,411 feet. But as temperatures have warmed, that ice has been melting away. Columbia Crest has lost about 24 feet of elevation since 1999 -- enough that it's no longer the mountain's highest point. The true summit is now a r
Fall-like weather slowly returning to normal but isolated lighting possible (opens the original)
Read excerpt
by George Waldenberger, KOMO Meteorologist Isolated lightning will remain possible in any showersthrough Saturday, especially near the coast. (KOMO) A quick round of wind and rain...and now things gradually tone down. Wednesday was the wettest day, with some areas of the Olympic Peninsula picking up more than 3 inches of rain. Jefferson Creek, near Lake Cushman, received 3.4 inches. Wednesday was also the windiest day, with 50 mph gusts funneling through the Strait of Juan de Fuca and reaching D
Clearing wildfire smoke in western Washington creates more dangerous fire weather east (opens the original)
Read excerpt
by George Waldenberger,KOMOMeteorologist A win for western Washington—but one that comes at a cost east of the Cascades. The win? Clearing out the wildfire smoke that's been trapped in the Puget Sound Basin. Winds above about 5,000 feet have shifted, steering much of the incoming smoke from the north-central Washington fires away from western Washington. Near the surface, though, the smoke remains trapped in the Puget Sound "bowl," where light winds and a stable atmosphere have allowed it to lin
