Information provided by the National Hurricane Center (NHC). Since the tropical warnings have been discontinued for Atlantic Canada, this is the last NHC advisory on Fiona.įorecaster Cangialosi. The NHC track forecast is similar to the previous one. A faster north to north-northeast motion is expected, taking the center of the system across Labrador tonight and early Sunday. The initial wind speed is estimated to be 70 mph (60 knots).įiona has slowed down significantly, and the system is now moving northeastward at 10 mph (7 knots). Even though the maximum winds have decreased just below hurricane-force, ASCAT data and surface observations show that Fiona has a very large wind field. Large swells generated by Fiona are expected to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions along the coast of the northeast United States, Bermuda, and Atlantic Canada during the next couple of days.įiona remains a large and potent extratropical low pressure system. This rainfall is expected to produce flooding, some of which could be significant. Heavy rains from Fiona are expected to continue to impact portions of Atlantic Canada into Sunday. If you know of any others that should be here, let me know in the comments.Fiona is forecast to continue to affect portions of Atlantic Canada through early Sunday, and significant impacts from high winds, storm surge, and heavy rainfall are expected. There are more, dozens more, but these are the ones I find my self turning to when I need a quick update. National Wildfire Coordinating Group fire map Clicking on a fire shows a LOT of data about the fire: name, acreage, %-contained, fire management group assigned, total personnel on the fire, land ownership, etc.
National Wildfire Coordinating Group G ood maps showing final extent of fires using Public NIFS perimeters (which seem to be from ARCGIS). (Here I've turned on the fire perimeter map, but if you turn on the "housing density" layer, you can see part of the wildland/urban interface problem.)ĥ. Use the layer selector widget in the upper right corner of the map. Another great map with many (and different!) layers that you can turn on/off. San Diego Supercomputer Center / NSF firemap.
ARCGIS fire mappers With live wind and fire perimeter updates. If you're an advanced satellite image user, this is the place to go to get different spectral views. NASA Worldview daily summary images, with many overlays of data. I like to click through hour-by-hour to see a time-lapse of the conditions.Ģ. They also update their images very frequently. Zoom.earth – excellent near-real-time imagery – they also have a Fire Spots layer that you can turn on/off. Without going into all the detail, here's my list of favorite sites, and a brief explanation about what each has that's special.ġ. Dan, what's the best site to monitor the fires in California? Or a variation on that: What's the best site to get satellite images of fires in the West?
