ATLANTIC TROPICS

  • Tropical Depression Eleven in the Central Atlantic has a shot at being named as it drifts in no man's land.
  • Invest 97L is producing heavy rain and storms in the southern Caribbean. Will watch it slowly move up north and see if it can consolidate in which direction it's heading.

NATIONAL WEATHER

  • Dry and sunny weather for the Northeast. Coastal low pressure system stays away.
  • Scattered showers and storms for the Tennessee valley and the Gulf
  • Generally dry and warm in the South and Midwest
  • Gusty showers for the Northwest and Intermountain region

WORLD WEATHER

  • Typhoon Wutip is making landfall in Vietnam as a strong Category 2 typhoon with maximum sustained winds of 105 mph. Many people have evacuated along the coast and flood-prone areas. This has been the 10th tropical storm or typhoon to impact Vietnam in what has been a busy season for them. http://blogs.wsj.com/searealtime/2013/09/30/typhoon-wutip-heads-for-vietnams-central-coast/

EARTHQUAKES


SPACE WEATHER

  • A massive filament erupted from the sun yesterday and hurled a CME into space. This looks to be partially Earth-directed so auroras are possible upon its arrival and could spark a geomagnetic storm. More updates to come.
  • Meanwhile, sunspots remain quiet with a 1% chance of M-class flares in the next 24 hours.
