Coastal and Marine Impacts from Imelda and Humberto as Both Track Away from the Southeast U.S.

Swells and high surf from both Imelda and Humberto are expected to bring dangerous marine and rip current conditions to the east coast of Florida and Georgia today, spreading north along much of the east coast of the U.S. this week.

Snowy and Windy Start to 2012

Overview

A trough of low pressure associated with a deepening low pressure center lifting across Iowa and into Wisconsin, brought a mix of icy conditions and snow to the Northland New Year's Eve. As the low pressure system departed to the east over the eastern Great Lakes New Year's Day 2012, it brought strong northwest winds gusting around 40 mph. The strong winds also resulted in a cool start to 2012 with temperatures falling into the teens through the afternoon.
