From nz4o at tampabay.rr.com Wed Apr 1 07:16:31 2009 From: nz4o at tampabay.rr.com (nz4o at tampabay.rr.com) Date: Wed, 1 Apr 2009 10:16:31 -0400 Subject: Huge Cycle 24 Sunspot Group Forms Message-ID: A huge solar cycle 24 sunspot group has formed near E05N80 in the northern hemisphere of the Sun. It has pushed the solar flux index up from 71 to 155 and 6 meters is open globally via F2 layer propagation. With a complex beta-gamma-delta twisted magnetic configuration sunspot group #10115 has the potential to release a huge X class solar flare with attendant HF radio black outs, polar cap absorption and a geomagnetic storm reaching a Kp of 9, extreme geomagnetic storming.

This will be a true global cooling anomaly! Also is appears that the three year La Nina pattern has ended with a return to a neutral ENSO. There is some evidence that a weak to moderate El Nino may form by summer time. This would mean an end to the three year drought in Florida, a return to normal if not above normal precipitation for summer 2009, as well as a less active tropical cyclone season. The demise of La Nina can be seen with recent drought busting heavy rainfall of up to 20" in parts of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and north Florida, as well as heavy snowfall in Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and parts of Texas in the past seven day period.

AFTER SEVERAL DAYS OF WARM WEATHER A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION MONDAY BRINGING CLOUDS AND SOME RAIN TO THE REGION. BEHIND THIS FRONT BREEZY NORTHWEST WINDS WILL USHER IN MUCH COOLER AND DRIER AIR. AS THIS COLD AIR MOVES ACROSS THE RELATIVELY WARM GULF OF MEXICO WATERS THE LARGE DIFFERENCE IN TEMPERATURE...NEARLY 40 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT...WILL LEAD TO WHAT COULD BE CALLED GULF EFFECT. THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE LAKE EFFECT THAT OCCURS AROUND THE GREAT LAKES WHERE COLD AIR MOVES ACROSS THE WARMER LAKES RESULTING IN CLOUDS AND BANDS OF SNOW. HOWEVER... UNLIKE THE GREAT LAKES...TEMPERATURES WILL NOT BE COLD ENOUGH FOR SNOW...BUT WE COULD SEE SOME LIGHT SHOWERS OR SPRINKLES MOVE IN OFF THE GULF. TEMPERATURES ON TUESDAY WILL BE 10 TO AS MUCH AS 20 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL AND ONLY CLIMB INTO THE 60S, EXCEPT LOWER 70S OVER SOUTHWEST FLORIDA. TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING IS EXPECTED TO BE THE COLDEST WITH TEMPERATURES PREDICTED TO FALL INTO THE 30S ACROSS MOST OF THE NATURE COAST WITH SOME OF THE NORMALLY COLDER INLAND LOCATIONS DROPPING TO NEAR FREEZING. FURTHER SOUTH MOST INLAND LOCATIONS ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST FLORIDA ARE EXPECTED TO FALL INTO THE 40S WITH A FEW LOCATIONS DROPPING INTO THE UPPER 30S. THESE TEMPERATURES COULD APPROACH RECORD LOW VALUES IN A FEW LOCATIONS...BUT NO MATTER IT WILL FEEL EVEN COLDER THANKS TO THE BREEZY NORTHWEST WINDS THAT WILL CAUSE WIND CHILL VALUES TO DROP INTO THE 20S AND 30S. DURING WEDNESDAY HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS THE GULF OF MEXICO WITH WINDS DIMINISHING AND TEMPERATURES WARMING UP INTO THE MID 60S TO MID 70S...BUT STILL ABOUT 8 TO 15 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. DURING WEDNESDAY NIGHT THE HIGH WILL MOVE ACROSS THE FLORIDA PENINSULA AND OUT INTO THE WESTERN ATLANTIC OCEAN. THIS WILL ALLOW WINDS TO BECOME LIGHT UNDER MAINLY CLEAR SKIES SETTING US UP FOR GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING. TEMPERATURES WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING ARE EXPECTED TO FALL INTO THE UPPER 30S TO LOWER 40S ACROSS MUCH OF THE NATURE COAST WITH MID TO UPPER 40S STRETCHING SOUTHWARD INTO INLAND PORTIONS OF SOUTHWEST FLORIDA. RESIDENTS OF WEST CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST FLORIDA...ESPECIALLY THOSE ACROSS THE NATURE COAST...SHOULD BE PREPARED TO PROTECT TENDER VEGETATION AND PETS TUESDAY NIGHT. PROLONGED TEMPERATURES IN THE 30S MAY DAMAGE SENSITIVE VEGETATION...AND CAN BE HARMFUL TO PETS. IN ADDITION...IF YOU PLAN ON BEING OUTDOORS LATE EACH NIGHT INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS BE SURE TO BUNDLE UP AND DRESS IN LAYERS. IF YOU PLAN ON USING SPACE HEATERS PLEASE REMEMBER THEY CAN BE A FIRE HAZARD...AND YOU SHOULD KEEP LINENS...BLANKETS...CURTAINS... AND OTHER FLAMMABLES AWAY FROM THE HEATER AT ALL TIMES.

Here on the suburban south side of Lakeland: 7th- Maximum temperature of 61 deg. the coldest maximum for the date and month in 13 years of records. 8th- Minimum temperature of 41 deg. the coldest for the date in 13 years of records. At my rural weather station at Nobleton East in Sumter County: 7th- Maximum temperature of 59 deg. the coldest maximum for the date in 48 years of records. 8th- Minimum temperature of 29 deg. the coldest for date and month, also the latest sub 32 deg. reading ever recorded in 48 years of records. I forecasted the sub 32 degree minimum temperature line down to S.R. 50 in inland rural areas and that verified. Later in the day I will put together a state wide compilation of minimum temperatures.

Message-ID: <01167F84CDA44A7EAB839340C9869DEF@YOUR5BFDF7BC50> There is a small chance for severe thunderstorms for central and eastern areas of Polk County in the late afternoon. The biggest severe weather threat will be from strong straight line wind gusts and large hail. To say exactly where the severe weather will occur will be tough but probably in a squashed triangle between Haines City, Lake Wales and Winter Haven. The east and west coast sea breeze boundaries will collide in this area and if any updrafts can penetrate through the temperature inversion at around 750 mb explosive thunderstorm formation will occur. There is a fair chance for some much needed rainfall tomorrow. Take Care, Thomas F.

D-Star Tech Support Group http://www.florida-dstar.info Polk ARES A.E.C. http://www.polkemcomm.org _____ From: William D. Abernathy [mailto:billyabernathy at polkfl.com] Sent: Monday, April 27, 2009 1:39 PM Subject: *** Important Information on Swine Flu*** According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, cases of swine flu have been confirmed in the United States (California, Kansas, New York City, Ohio, and Texas). All cases reported in the U.S. have had mild influenza-like illness with only one requiring brief hospitalization. No cases have been identified in Florida at this time. Swine flu is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by type A influenza virus that regularly causes outbreaks of influenza in pigs. The Polk County Health Department is proactively working with area hospitals and doctors to enhance surveillance and monitor efforts for influenza across the county. Swine flu viruses are not transmitted by food and a person cannot get swine flu from eating pork products. The infections appear to spread from person to person. The symptoms of swine flu in people are similar to the symptoms of regular human flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Some people have reported diarrhea and vomiting associated with swine flu. Like seasonal flu, swine flu may cause a worsening of underlying chronic medical conditions. If taken within the first 2 days of feeling sick, antiviral drugs can reduce the consequences of contracting the flu, and should only be used in confirmed cases. The flu virus may become resistant to treatment if antivirals are overused or taken when not needed. The Polk County Health Department provides the following recommendations: * As always, people with respiratory illness should stay home from work or school to avoid spreading infections, including influenza, to others in the community. * Avoid close contact with people who are coughing or otherwise appear ill. * Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. * Wash hands frequently to lessen the spread of respiratory illness. * People experiencing cough, fever and fatigue, possibly along with diarrhea and vomiting, should contact their physician. If you think you have influenza, please call your health care provider and discuss whether you need to be seen in their office, the emergency room, or stay home. This is a rapidly evolving situation and the Polk County Health Department will provide new information as it becomes available.

As has been the norm as of late it remains to be seen if it survives long enough for NOAA/SWPC to assign it a number, which would be #10116. Solar cycle 23 is now 13 years long from first spot to present one, an extension of the already record long solar cycle!!! 73 & GUD DX, Thomas F.

On Thursday solar cycle 23 sunspot group S740 re-emerged near S08W64. Today NOAA/SWPC assigned it #10116. Solar cycle 23 is now 13 years long from first spot to present one, an extension of the already record long solar cycle!!! Besides space plasma physics I also have education in paleoclimatology, meteorology and oceanography. Having said that I am becoming seriously concerned that we are really headed for a second "Dalton Minimum" and it's attendant global cooling for a period of 20-30 years. Another "Dalton Minimum" will put quite a strain on resources such as food and petroleum. 73 & GUD DX, Thomas F.
