1. Wow that looks like a monster ....

Stay safe out there people. Prayers and Peace.

[Catherine Vincent]

2. Oh my! That does look scary!

It looks like a newly formed hurricane that covers the whole country!

[originalpckelly]

3. Actually, it's called an extratropical cyclone.

It's basically a land hurricane, as you said.

I watch the same sit all the time. Very good to get a general idea of what the storm looks like from space. There's even an archive, so you can download images and put together movies of major storms that have happened in the past month or so.

5. I live in Colorado, and we're still getting strong winds from that system...

that's killing people all the way over in Alabama. That's the power of mother nature.

4. is that happening now?

that is one of the scariest things i've seen in a long time. Tat reminds me of the pics when the "perfect Storm" of 91 was happening of the atlantic coast. I couldn't get out of downtown Boston fast enough.

[originalpckelly]

6. Yes, and I'm deeply worried about everyone.

Those are the most recent water vapor maps. They're terrifying. It's a cyclone, just not one over the ocean!

[Rainscents]

7. I am very worry about everyone too!

This is very scary!!!

[AlCzervik]

8. thats really frightening, my thoughts and good vibes to all affected by this.

9. Dayum!

I'm hundreds of miles from the center of that thing, but barometer is 29.39 and falling. It would be interesting to know what barometric pressures are in the vicinity of the center.

[originalpckelly]

14. It's 28.94 in La Crosse, WI where the center is very close to.

WOWZA! :wow:

Even lower!

21. I've flown into Dubuque a few times with similar patterns. That area can be brutal!

Landed there one night with 3 inches of ice on the wings and the wind was blowing about 50 knots.
:scared:

16. Here's a map with some isobaric information

17. Thanks, Karl!

I'm in northeast TN and was interested in seeing how areas closer to the center of that low were affected. It's going to be a windy night and a windy tomorrow in lots of places!

[karlrschneider]

20. Sure, I actually meant to link the home page with the map itself

but something happened as I was trying to edit, couldn't connect to DU (??) but the list from the link
I did put in does at least give local baro. :D

22. WOW!!!

Look at purple color... extreme area!

18. I'm Not Far From The Center...Near Chicago

At 9:50pm CDT:

Barmoteter: 29.14mb

We're "in the eye" here...or so it seems. Been cloudy most of the day and not very windy.

The forecast is for gusty winds as we get on the backside of this thing.

This sure looks like the makings of a nasty Northeaster...

[wellstone dem]

10. I guess that explains the

foot of snow outside--halfway through the storm.

[Cetacea]

11. Thank you for posting that. nt

[VTMechEngr]

12. Thats Normal. Its a Low pressure system cyclone.

We see them each winter.



Notice that you can see the frontal boundaries in the radar map, and the Low is the center swirl.

[Homer Wells]

13. Damn!!!

That looks a lot like those scenes from the movie "The Day After Tomorrow", with the three giant cyclones over the Continental US.

:scared: :scared: :scared: :wow:

[Breeze54]

15. And it's headed my way!!! Argh!!

:rofl:

By the time it gets here, it'll be rain and high winds.
Gusts up to 40 & 50 mph.
No snow or not much where I am! yeah!! :)
NH and Vermont are going to get a lot, though.
But they need it for the skiing!

[Rainscents]

19. You funny!

I just heard... two more death reported from this storm... Georgia. :-(

[madrchsod]

23. 28pt something 100 miles west of chicago

1,5 hours of sunshine this afternoon now 30 mile winds....i love spring

[La_Fourmi_Rouge]

24. That is just freaking Wild!

I am waayyy over here on the West Coast, and cold enough thank-you. Best of luck to all youse anywhere near that monster

[KittyWampus]

25. This must be why I got so freaking tired this afternoon. It was beautiful this morning...

and I was all perky and ready to walk down to the beach and then WHAM! I felt like I could barely keep my eyes open.

I live on eastern Long Island. My brothers are supposed to fly to Florida tomorrow out of Kennedy. Please think postive for them.

[Rainscents]

28. Hopefully, everything goes well for him too.

[BlueStorm]

26. Great, that thing's heading towards Michigan

I'm going to get the smack of it by tomorrow. It's been slushy and wet here today.

27. March, it comes in like a lion.....goes out like a lamb?

Let's hope so, We've been getting this most of the day here in Michigan. We had about 3 inches of heavy snow early this A.M and the rest of the day went between rain and freezing rain. Windy now and still raining. Temps are rising.. 36F right now. there's lots of flooding on the roads, but I haven't heard of any serious issues yet. Hopefully, it's almost over.

29. We had hurricane force winds in Kansas last night.

The weatherman said Hurricane 1 winds.
