A special edition of the Carolina Weather Group: Countdown to launch! The GOES-U satellite, the final addition to GOES-R series, will help to prepare for two kinds of weather — Earth and space weather. Once operational, this new satellite will be renamed GOES-19 and take on the role of GOES East. As GOES East, the satellite will serve a critical role in providing continuous weather coverage over the Carolinas, the United States East Coast and monitoring tropical systems in the Atlantic oceans. This continuous monitoring aids scientists and forecasters in issuing timely warnings and forecasts to help protect the one billion people who live and work in the Americas. Additionally, GOES-U carries a new compact coronagraph that will image the outer layer of the Sun’s atmosphere to detect and characterize coronal mass ejections. This week, we talked with Dr. Dan Lindsey, GOES-R Program Scientist, and Dr. Jim Spann, Senior Scientist for Space Weather for NOAA’s NESDIS Office of Space Weather Observations. The two-hour launch window opens at 5:16 p.m. EDT Tuesday, June 25, for the satellite’s launch on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. 🧢 MERCH: https://rstrm.io/e/YDmSpk 💸 LEAVE A TIP: https://streamelements.com/carolinawxgroup/tip 🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PODCAST: https://anchor.fm/carolinaweather 🔔 SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://patreon.com/carolinaweathergroup 💻 VISIT OUR WEBSITE: https://carolinaweathergroup.com #weather #space #technology #satellite #nasa #noaa #northcarolina #southcarolina #ncwx #scwx #podcast The Carolina Weather Group operates a weekly talk show of the same name.

All the world-renowned forecasters are saying the same thing: expect an active hurricane season this year. One of those meteorologists is Dr. Phil Klotzbach. He is a senior research scientist for the Department of Atmospheric Science in the Walter Scott, Jr. College of Engineering at Colorado State University. He has worked in the department for the past 23 years and was co-author on the Atlantic basin hurricane forecasts with Dr. William Gray through 2005, becoming the first author in 2006. Dr. Klotzbach joins the podcasts this week on the Carolina Weather Group to discuss expectations for the 2024 hurricane season. He explains the weather and climate impacts that are likely to make it an above-average tropical season. #hurricane #tropics #weather 🧢 MERCH: https://rstrm.io/e/YDmSpk 💸 LEAVE A TIP: https://streamelements.com/carolinawxgroup/tip 🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PODCAST: https://anchor.fm/carolinaweather 🔔 SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://patreon.com/carolinaweathergroup 💻 VISIT OUR WEBSITE: https://carolinaweathergroup.com The Carolina Weather Group operates a weekly talk show of the same name.

Years in the making, the "OUTBRK: Storm chasing simulator" video came for the computer is nearly here. On Friday, June 28, 2024, the long-awaited online, multiple-player game will become available in "early access" on the Steam gaming platform. This will allow those who choose, the option to purchase the game and play the game while it remains in ongoing development. (Those who buy an early access game on Steam will receive, without further costs, ongoing updates as improvements are made and will receive a copy of the final game upon release.) David Daigle-Carignan and Marc Remillard are the developers of OUTBRK. They returned to the Carolina Weather Group to discuss expectations for the June 28 early release date. Over the past few years, they have developed a virtual, open-world that simulates real-world weather data from historic weather events. They created never-before-used technology and techniques to bring this weather to life. Their goal is to create a storm-chasing game that is both fun and safe. OUTBRK, which began as an early fundraiser on Kickstarter, can now be added to Wishlists on Steam, the platforming for PC gaming: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1107320/OUTBRK/ This episode was available early access to Carolina Weather Group Patreon supporters.

#weather #northcarolina #southcarolina #hurricane #severeweather See why IBHS is expressing serious concerns about North Carolina's building codes when it comes to hurricane readiness -- and why South Carolina continues to hold strong. With the traditional start of hurricane season just weeks away, the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) has released its Rating the States which report evaluates the 18 states along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, all vulnerable to catastrophic hurricanes, based on building code adoption, enforcement, and contractor licensing. In the report, published every three years, each state is rated on a 0–100 scale using data from responses to groups of questions related to different aspects of their building code programs. https://ibhs.org/public-policy/rating-the-states/ 🧢 MERCH: https://rstrm.io/e/YDmSpk 💸 LEAVE A TIP: https://streamelements.com/carolinawxgroup/tip 🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PODCAST: https://anchor.fm/carolinaweather 🔔 SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://patreon.com/carolinaweathergroup 💻 VISIT OUR WEBSITE: https://carolinaweathergroup.com The Carolina Weather Group operates a weekly talk show of the same name.

The first round of severe weather Wednesday caused extensive power outages, downed many trees and produced up to two inch size hail. And now another line of severe storms is approaching both North Carolina and South Carolina for the overnight hours. A possible third line could come during Thursday morning's commute. The Carolina Weather Group's James Brierton has the latest impacts on the storms and the newest severe weather forecast. 🧢 MERCH: https://rstrm.io/e/YDmSpk 💸 LEAVE A TIP: https://streamelements.com/carolinawxgroup/tip 🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PODCAST: https://anchor.fm/carolinaweather 🔔 SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://patreon.com/carolinaweathergroup 💻 VISIT OUR WEBSITE: https://carolinaweathergroup.com The Carolina Weather Group operates a weekly talk show of the same name.
