  • Tera Williams question to Mayo

      Tera,

      You should be embarrassed by the question you asked Daley earlier today.  As I watched it on Chicago Tonight, I could hear a reporter whispering to you a couple times, "say your sorry" but apparently you didn't hear it.  Daley sure did ask you the perfect follow up question, "if they asked you to jump in a lake tomorrow, would you?"  He had a good point.  You looked really young and foolish.  If someone told you at another conference that M. Scot liked

  • AM Fox fun team gone

    • From: Force12
    • Description:

       Mike Barz was always naughty but fun.  Miss his humor in the morning.  Davie V?   I couldn't care less.   Fox has really destroyed the whole group with their changes of last few years.   How could we lose Tammy Souza as our hot weather girl?  Because they brought in stiff, dull (and who got a much needed makeover) Amy Frigid'.    Anybody remember 'leather Fridays' with our past AM weather girl Michelle, a few years ago?  All gone.&nbs

      dirks

      My favorite music star Dierks Bentley is opening for Brad Paisley this weekend at the First Bank Amphitheatre... and all around Chicago its outdoor music venues  with Lollapalooza... so thought I'd blog a bit about the wicked heat and how music fans might make the most of it.

      NOTE:  This picture of me and Dierks was taken in Philly a few years back --- it was Valentine's Day and the local radio DJs surprised me with a serenade... as I always say --- everytime I hear Dierks Bentley I think he's singing just to me!!!   LOL  Whatever music makes you happy this weekend... consider the heat that will dominating Chicago so you can enjoy the music experience and not end up miserable in the heat! 

      Temperatures in the 90s with high humidities will be uncomfortable -- making it feel like 100 degrees at times... so drink a lot of WATER, wear loose - light colored fabrics, and stay in the shade!  Temperatures can be several degrees cooler in the shade and taking breaks from the sun can bring relief and keep you from getting a nasty sunburn.

      Chekc out Marcus Gilmore from the Chicagoist who blogged about the heat at LOLLA this weekend...  he wanted to get some tips on how to beat the heat... their site also has LOLLA info!

  • El Nino

    • From: AmyFreeze
    • Description:

      What's up with the weather?

      When meteorologists make projections for long term forecasts one of the key factors is ocean water patterns.  There are two patterns that are familar to most people:  La Nina and El Nino    We have been in a weakening La Nina this past Winter and Spring... which has led to some cool, wet weather here in Chicago!  Now the shift has started to the warming of the ocean waters and NOAA has declared the development of an El Nino.  The development of this weather pattern allows forecasters to make projections on more than just weather patterns--- El Nino cycles have had certain impacts in the past that could repeat themselves.

      From Reuters July 6, 2009:   In 1998, El Nino-related storms, floods, tornadoes and mudslides killed more than 2,000 people and caused billions of dollars in damage to crops, infrastructure and mines. Michelle L'Heureux, head of the U.S. Climate Prediction Center which tracks El Nino, said this version may not approach the one in 1998, the strongest weather anomaly in 150 years. The CPC is an office under the U.S. National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration.

      Here at FOX Chicago we will be looking at what impacts El Nino has historically brought for Chicago's weather patterns... including the potential for a mild winter.  Below is the latest release from NOAA on the developing El Nino.

      ANIMATED EL NINO LINK

      Here's the latest from NOAA on the Developing El Nino

      July 9, 2009

      NOAA scientists today announced the arrival of El Niño, a climate phenomenon with a significant influence on global weather, ocean conditions and marine fisheries. El Niño, the periodic warming of central and eastern tropical Pacific waters, occurs on average every two to five years and typically lasts about 12 months.

      NOAA expects this El Niño to continue developing during the next several months, with further strengthening possible. The event is expected to last through winter 2009-10.

      “Advanced climate science allows us to alert industries, governments and emergency managers about the weather conditions El Niño may bring so these can be factored into decision-making and ultimately protect life, property and the economy,” said Jane Lubchenco, Ph.D., under secretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere and NOAA administrator.

      El Niño's impacts depend on a variety of factors, such as intensity and extent of ocean warming, and the time of year. Contrary to popular belief, not all effects are negative. On the positive side, El Niño can help to suppress Atlantic hurricane activity. In the United States, it typically brings beneficial winter precipitation to the arid Southwest, less wintry weather across the North, and a reduced risk of Florida wildfires.

      El Niño’s negative impacts have included damaging winter storms in California and increased storminess across the southern United States. Some past El Niños have also produced severe flooding and mudslides in Central and South America, and drought in Indonesia.

      An El Niño event may significantly diminish ocean productivity off the west coast by limiting weather patterns that cause upwelling, or nutrient circulation in the ocean.  These nutrients are the foundation of a vibrant marine food web and could negatively impact food sources for several types of birds, fish and marine mammals.

      In its monthly El Niño diagnostics discussion today, scientists with the NOAA National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center noted weekly eastern equatorial Pacific sea surface temperatures were at least 1.0 degree C above average at the end of June. The most recent El Niño occurred in 2006.

      El Niño includes weaker trade winds, increased rainfall over the central tropical Pacific, and decreased rainfall in Indonesia. These vast rainfall patterns in the tropics are responsible for many of El Niño’s global effects on weather patterns.  

      NOAA will continue to monitor the rapidly evolving situation in the tropical Pacific, and will provide more detailed information on possible Atlantic hurricane impacts in its updated Seasonal Hurricane Outlook scheduled for release on August 6, 2009.

      NOAA understands and predicts changes in the Earth’s environment, from the depths of the ocean to the surface of the sun, and conserves and manages our coastal and marine resources.

  • 4th of July

    • From: AmyFreeze
    • Description:

      I love the 4th of July...  mostly because I have the best memories of my life surrounding this magical holiday!

      ...when I was young my parents took us to parades every year... big fireworks shows from the banks of the Ohio River "Thunder over Louisivlle" to the "Stadium of Fire" in Provo, Utah to the "Freedom Festival" in the cradle of liberty in Philadelphia, PA.

      I remember my first "independent" July 4ths were celebrated with my best friend Anne (seen in the picture here)Amy and Anny

      ...as we would sit on front lawns in southern Indiana facing the Ohio River and watch the fireworks display.

      I had my first son at 9pm on the 4th of July... yes... fireworks for sure!

      I love seeing the spectacular from the shoreline of Lake Michigan...

      For sure, this is my favorite holiday! I hope yours is a wonderful time spent celebrating our freedom!

  • Amy's Adventure: Houston

    • From: AmyFreeze
    • Description:

      I went to Houston last week... It was 85 (the record was 86) and it gave me Spring Fever Bad! 

      The weather was gorgeous... and I got to meet the sports radio guys that I listen to on the internet sometimes... they broadcast on Houston's 1560am THE GAME -- you can hear it on the internet...

      My friend from Houston Tim Bradley is a die-hard listener to these guys and he's the one who told me about them... So since I was there in person --- we went and met the guys during their live broadcast!  Midday guy Ken Hoffman had me on his show for a few minutes--- he also writes about food in the local paper and he's sorta obsessed with analyzing local Houston TV people (he remembered Jan Jeffcoat when she used to work in Houston) and he likes soccer and he's basically just fun to listen to (even when he's talking about nothing....)  Thanks for signing my shirt Ken!  Good luck with your new sidekick!  Click here to get into THE GAME!

      I also wanted to meet my "favs" Sean and John... These guys are crazy and fun... I pulled a little joke on them and went up and said "Remember me?  I came a long way to see you!"   I've emailed them a few times so Sean eventually recognized me (sorry John!!!)  It's just they always get to tease people and I thought it would be fun to see them squirm a little!!! LOL  Sean lived in Chi for a while and still has family in the suburbs of Chicago. They both signed my t-shirt (which I bought at a local sports store called The Academy) I gave them an update on our long, cold, snowy Chicago winter... and how much I loved sports and the radio... and I told them I'd be happy to be their Chicago Correspondent!  They gave me an awesome shout out on the radio that afternoon!!!

      1560 THE GAME

      I also met with Dr. Jim Siebert from the Fox Affiliate in Houston... we talked about new weather graphic implementation and Dual Pole Radar (they are one of the only other stations to have the same radio as Fox Chicago!)  We compared notes on weather technology and also talked about enivronmental stuff -- my big interest Storm Water Managemet.   Click here to learn more about Dr Jim! 

      From his bio "Dr. Jim holds degrees in meteorology/earth science from Baylor University in Waco, communications from Brigham Young University and science education from the University of New Mexico. He teaches both meteorology and geography at the university level."

      Houston is a beautfiul city.  I loved the Galleria.  Bought the new Dolce Gabana perfume and an overpriced Lucky t-shirt while shopping there. 

      And yes....  I saw cows!!!  Loved it in Houston -- hope to be back there for another adventure soon --- maybe to see the Astros or the Dynamo!
