2014-11-28 SPOTTER ACTIVATION REQUESTED NWS, Seattle WA

Posted on 16:45 by raja rani

EXPIRED!
SPOTTER ACTIVATION REQUESTED
National Weather Service, Seattle WA
Nov 28, 2014 4:37PM
    There is a threat of heavy snowfall in your area. Now is a good time to make sure you have your weather reporting criteria information available. If possible, you should also have your spotter identification number available.
    Please call the National Weather Service at (800) 882-1431 if you observe weather conditions that meet reporting criteria.  
    Most areas of western Washington will see an inch or less of now from tonight through Saturday morning. 1 to 3 inches is possible in northern Puget Sound Region (King, Snohomish, Island, Kitsap) and areas along the Strait of Juan De Fuca (Clallam and Jefferson). If you get snow that sticks, and it measures 0.1 or more, give us a call!
     Also, it will be very windy in western Whatcom county and San Juan county. If you get sustained winds of 40+ mph, or gusts 58+ mph, give us a call!
    Thank you for volunteering to be a spotter for the National Weather Service. Your information is quite important to us during significant weather events.

11-17-2014 -- The Leonid Meteor Shower Sensation of November 2014

Posted on 17:00 by raja rani

LIVE from 5:00PM PT
(Radio ionization waterfall feed!)
 
The Leonid Meteor Shower Sensation of November 2014 
[Click here to watch live!] 
On the the evening of November 17th, Slooh will capture the Leonid Meteor Shower with dynamic visuals and engaging audio -- giving viewers another unique way to experience the shooting stars by tracking their ionization sounds Slooh provided an ionization track during the 2014 Perseid and Orionid Meteor Showers, and the feature was well received by the viewing public.

ON AIR NOW: SLOOH.COM
 
(about 15 meteor per hours)
   
FROM SPACEWEATHER.COM: 
LEONID METEOR SHOWER: Today, Earth is passing through a stream of debris from Comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle, source of the annual Leonid meteor shower. People who remember the Leonid meteor storms of the late 90s/early 2000s should know that this is not a storm year. Forecasters expect no more than 15 Leonids per hour during the dark hours before local sunrise.
