For Post-tropical Storm Dorian.
This is a special meteorological summary for Post-tropical Storm Dorian.
This is the final information statement for this storm.
1. Full discussion of the event.
On August 23rd[, 2019], a tropical wave formed between the Cape Verde Islands and the Lesser Antilles. One day later on August 24th, the National Hurricane Center in Miami declared the system a Tropical Depression and not long after Tropical Storm Dorian. The storm remained relatively weak until August 28th, when it reached hurricane status and made landfall in the US Virgin Islands.
Today a heavy thunderstorm passed over Queens county and quite a few flashes occurred close to FOXweather.
Sadly again this caused some weather equipment to spark resulting in a station outage from 30-Jun-2019/16:02 ADT to 16:23 ADT.
All systems could be recovered and no data was lost.
FOXweather was back online: 16:23 ADT. FOXlive data was back online: 16:35 ADT
However the FOXcam Southwest is currently down and might need replacement. This will take a few days.
There are two definitions of a Blue Moon; both are a type of Full Moon and have nothing to do with color. If the Moon looks blue, it’s because of dust in the atmosphere.
On 18-May-2019 there will be a Seasonal Blue Moon. A Seasonal Full Moon is the third Full Moon in an astronomical season with four Full Moons (versus the usual three).
Our websites – FOXweather and FOXlive – were outdated today, Monday 23-Oct-2017 from 11:00h to 16:29h ADT due to a connection problem with our hosting provider.
