New study confirms monster volcano Katla is charging up for an eruption

The volcano is long "overdue" for an eruption, as it has historically erupted once every 40-80 years. The last known eruption in Katla was in 1918.

The studies showed that Katla is emitting enormous quantities of CO2....These enormous CO2 emissions confirm significant activity in the volcano, Evgenia told RÚV: "It is highly unlikely that these emissions could be produced by geothermal activity. There must also be a magma build up to release this quantity of gas."

She points out that more studies are needed to determine if the gas emissions from Katla are stable, or if they are increasing. "It is well known from other volcanoes, for example in Hawaii and Alaska, that CO2 emissions increase weeks or years ahead of eruptions. This is a clear sign we need to keep a close eye on Katla. She isn't just doing nothing, and these findings confirm that there is something going on."

May I ask...is there a way to download September's temperatures into a graph?

I don't think advertising your board on other weather sites is cool at all. Dunzoo, exactly this reason they want members.

My namesake hurricane looks to batter the Florida panhandle tomorrow. This is the third "Hurricane Michael" (the others being in 2000 and 2012) and this looks to be the last since it'll likely be retired after this year.

I'll put this in Banter since it is fantasy land stuff. But, it isn't inconsistent with the direction temperatures appear headed in the next couple of weeks. GFS around Monday, Oct.22 brings a strong cold front through, drops temps into the 30s, and blows up a storm off the New England coast bringing many in this region several hours of wrap-around snowfall. I post this less for any confidence of it panning out, and more because it is the first time this year I think a model has shown a substantial period of snow for our region -- so just a sign we are approaching go-time for the coming snow tracking season.

Saw that and recall 2011, its not impossible, that was a terribly damaging storm especially CT. I remember all the trees and branches falling all around me. All it takes is exactly what you said a cold air source and a bombing out storm to create its own cold. Why the heck not, the past 9 months have just been wild weather all over the US including here lets add a October snowstorm while we are at a it lol, yeah yeah I know some believe a abnormally early snowstorm means a quiet winter but IMO thats just coincidence.

Just in awe, do not usually watch TWC but one thing they are good at is getting footage of storm aftermath, and 24/7 coverage (what they used to do, not these dumb shows) and its just terrible, looks as bad if not worse than andrew, and they are making a close comparison. Sad. Glad to hear ace is okay, saw Tallahassee coverage tons of tree damage. A train was derailed too.

Wow if this is right the midatlantic is IN FOR IT, and we dodged a bullet, though looks like it cpould get a bit windy on Friday with his passage to the south.

Looking for a suggestion on a home indoor/outdoor weather station for my mother. Nothing fancy, something under $100 preferably. Any suggestions?

Getting sick and tired of predictions of front loaded or back loaded winters in recent years. Your basically getting only half a winter season. I yearn for the days of a December thru March cold and snowy pattern with a 7-10 day mid January thaw in between.

Since it's my day off and I have really nothing else to do I went back and took a look at seasonal snowfall totals for New York City. From the period from 1970 through 1999 30 years there were only 3 years with above 30 in of snow in New York City. The 1980s highest seasonal snowfall was 27.2 in with many of those Year's snowfall totals in the teens. Compare that to what's been going on the last 18 years and I say I'm all for global warming. let the planet warm it will increase our snowfall chances more and more.that's my two cents on global warming.lol

Al as someone who does NOT believe in man made global warming I remember reading that if global warming were real, it would disrupt the northward progression of the Gulf stream and drop NYC's avg. temperature by up to 12 degrees farenheit. I SAY BRING IT ON!!!

I know personally in Orange County the October 29, 2011 storm was very damaging. We ended up with 16 inches of snow and I lost 4 tress in my yard from that storm, all bradford pears which just keep their leaves to long and couldn't stand the weight of the snow. NYC saw 2.9 inches that day which is their largest October snow since records have been kept.

I've also found that October snows have often, for whatever reason, led to mild winters. It may be coincidence but it always makes me nervous when it happens.
