has that noaa report been accurate? >> the current one i just looked at shows that we're expecting an above average temperature for the winter. but before we get there, you may not be clapping next week. because we're going to get a winter preview before we get to winter. right now clear skies and a chillier start this morning. 56 degrees in philadelphia. humidity's way down. we are running a little bit cooler compared to yesterday in philadelphia down by three degrees. nice clear view from the bank building. you'll see a lot of sunshine today. the next couple days will be beautiful. today the wind won't be all that strong, but it's coming out of the northwest. that's the dry, cool air coming into play that we're starting with. some scattered clouds over new jersey, those will clear. then we'll see sunshine for today. there are some showers moving through canada that could come our way early tomorrow morning. those showers on the move. 3:00 tomorrow morning we'll be watching this line of scattered light showers that wil

forecasters at noaa's climate prediction center issued the u-s winter outlook. this year's el ni-o -which forecasters describe as one of the strongest on record -is expected to influence weather and climate patterns this winter by shifting the position of the pacific jet stream. and while el nino can exert a lot of influence over winter weather. cold-air outbreaks can be difficult to predict. agday meteorologist mike hoffman is tracking this closely for us. mike. clinton. the climate prediction center breaks-out the forecast into three categories -precipitation, temperature and drought outlook. for precipation; noaa expects wetter-than-average conditions most likely in the southern tier of the united states, from central and southern california, across texas, to florida, and up the east coast to southern new england. and drier-than-average conditions most likely for hawaii, central and western alaska, parts of the pacific northwest and northern rockies, and for areas near the great lakes and ohio valley. as far as temperature -above-average temperatures are favo

todd jacobs is the head of noaa's unmanned aircraft program. >> out here what it does is it provides us the ability to provide a persistent camera source so we can have very high, stable resolution camera looking at oil in the water if we were dealing with an oil spill it could help also vector small boats and personnel around. >> in a 2014 mission aboard the healy, fluorescein dye was used to simulate oil so researchers could study how it moves in ice. these images were taken by a camera mounted on an aerostat during that mission. the idea is images could be relayed to an incident command thousands of miles away on land. >> the holy grail is to be able to actually send photographs and full motion video with their associated telemetry so both the latitude and longitude feeding incident command centers. >> what about an oil spill in the arctic? >> i do believe if and when that event occurs, it's going to be a difficult event to deal with. the concern is it's a fairly short operation window... if something long playing out like say deepwater horizon occurred up here, it would be a cata

mike, noaa says we had a very warm september. that sure made for perfect harvest weather this year. thanks, tyne it definitely little wet weather patterns as we head through next couple of weeks you can see jet stream showing a troph kind of digging into the east, especially into the second hal of this week. that's going to have a lot of rain ahead of it then a quick shot of cold air that there's just little ripple after little ripple coming eastward, some of those going to get west coast areas that haven't seen much rain over the past two to three months with moisture. so let's check out the 30 day outlook. going above normal for west coast, northern half of rockies right down through central and southern mississippi valley into southeast. below normal for much of west texas, new mexico, below normal for far northwest and northeastern great lakes. precip over next 30 days. from mid atlantic to florida, southern half of mississippi valley from ohio valley southward through southern half of plains into the southwest, above normal

the waters in the north east pacific have warmed up way beyond what we are used to. >> according to noaa a, warmer ocean off of southern california has made it harder for nursing sea lions to forage and as a result the pups are not getting enough nourishment. el ninio is an event scientists have seen several times but this year's temperatures are quite different. >> what's really different is the water in the north east pacific warmed up over a year ago, usually that warming occurs after the el nino developed but in this case it preceded it. >> ocean warming impacts the food chain from the bottom up. as upwelling winds are causing deep water currents typically rife with cold water nutrients to circulate up mostly nutrient depleted warm water. >> so when you talk about nutrients, what is that? >> that biologic material in the deep ocean gets remineralized to inorganic nutrients and so the upwelling keeps that cycle going. so how does it affect the top of the food chain? the whole food chain gets depressed. a lot of those fish species that could move, have moved northward and the food sour

many agencies including noaa are operating on shoestring budgets. and while their work is impressive as they stretch their funding the benefits these designations bring to communities like alpena and the surrounding area are sustainable and provide a foundation for the local economy. as a member of the commerce, science and transportation committee with jurisdiction over noaa and the national marine sanctuary system, i am committed to working every day for protecting the great lakes and the fantastic waters and marine places within the boundaries of the united states of america. mr. president, i yield the floor. mr. grassley: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from iowa. mr. grassley: thank you, mr. president. there's an immigration program that's out of control, not conforming to the reason the program was put into effect in the first place, and it needs to be reformed or needs to be eliminated. so i come to the floor to talk about this immigration program known as eb-5 regional center investment program and the serious concerns that

noaa, national oceanic and atmospheric agency, came out with that prediction today. in general, it will likely be above average. the higher chance being in the orange, than the yellow, but likely to be above the average. you might remember in sarah's story, they talked about how the demand for energy would be less this winter because of above average temperatures. also, there's a precipitation outlook. now this doesn't mean snow, it just means there's going to be something falling from the sky and likely wetter in southern new england and likely average in northern new england. so wetter and warmer sounds like more rain, right, rather than snow well in strong el nino years we have seen them with less snow than in the past. you can have snow at 33 degrees and it's a warmer winter than last year with we had snow in the 20's, so don't think there won't be a lot of snow this winters but it looks like a warmer and wetter winter is on the way. >> well medfield fire officials blame a punctured gas main for the flames that shot into the air last night. this was breaking news

this is video from a noaa plane flying inside the eye of the storm. this is called a hurricane hunter. noaa is putting all hands-on deck to track this storm. >> meanwhile, on the ground, thousands have been evacuated. patricia touched down at 4:15 pacific time. it's in a resort town near 100 miles south of the resort town of puerto vallarta that we showed you the picture. airports and bus stops jammed with people trying to get out. as hurricane patricia moves into that area. it's expected to be a very, very dangerous category 5 hurricane as it goes through landfall and makes its way up. >>> chief meteorologist jeff ranieri is following every single move of the hurricane. >> another important note, the storm system is the hurricane-force winds at the center of the storm that have been 150 to 200 miles per hour. they only extend out about 30 miles from the center of the storm. it's tightly compact. exactly where that eye of the storm goes will see the strongest winds. the way it looks now, puerto vallarta would be spared from stom of the strongest winds

(sot/ chris vaccaro - nat'l oceanic & atmospheric admin. :48 - :56) 13 44 15 "any heavy rainfall that may occur this winter in s. cali and other parts of the west could increase the likelihood of life threatening mudslides, debris flows and flash flooding." also predicted.... a wetter an

projections from the noah -- noaa suggests a 5050 chance of rainfall this year. later this morning we may get scattered showers. steve will have more on when, where, how much may come down during the morning commute. it's good to keep in mind that the roads could be wet. >> bring a jacket but you may not need it. >> your hair is saved. >> the hair is safe for now. >>> that being said, the storm had potential but didn't pan out. >> potential is a french word meaning you didn't do squat. we have our system moving, there's light rain to the north and san jose, willow glen had measurable amounts. somebody got something out of the system. there's still part of the system that has to swing through. it's a lot of cloud cover, light rain to the north, around cloverdale, if you're getting rain in lake county, it's raining in eureka. someone is getting some. i know they had measurable overnight. our system is about done. we're almost on the backside of it. 50s and 60s on the temps. still pockets of hit and miss shower activity. you can see the breaks in the holes in the cl

noaa released the winter outlook. earlier in the week, accu weather called for not as brutal a winter but potential to be snowy. above normal in terms of temperature, good news. doesn't mean we will be cold but at the same time you see el nino pattern. for california and the southern tire of the country. coast. maybe the frequency of east coast systems is higher. are we cold enough to snow when that happens? it could be snowy even though milder than last year. clear skies. showers maybe north of new york city and west. then clouds should break up late morning into the midday. partly to mostly sunny the majority of the day. then another front comes in in the early evening and could spark a shower for early friday evening plans. three fronts the next 24 to 36 hours. notice the futurecast. evening hours low 50s. upper 40s north and west. tomorrow morning, there is the passing shower especially north of the city. clouds should clear out late morning and midday. nice afternoon. probably a degree or two higher than today. p
