Posted by Matt Noyes September 30, 2008 at 9:59 am
Though Sky Scenes normally focuses on fantastic viewer-submitted photographs, today we head to South Boston, where I was Master of Ceremonies for the American Liver Foundation’s Liver Life Walk and grabbed some video of an energized, spirited group this past Sunday. Come along with me, and meet a great group of walkers, two members of the Patriots Cheerleading squad, and the folks from JAM’N 94.5 and KISS 108…
Continued mild conditions to break for autumn cooling by week’s end
Posted by Matt Noyes September 30, 2008 at 9:19 am
Ever since our atmosphere was loaded with tropical warmth and moisture this weekend – evidenced by the several inches of rain that fell in most communities – it’s been hard to shake this moisture from the lowest few thousand feet of the sky. This has meant pesky low-altitude clouds, and they will continue to be a feature in the New England sky again today, but mild temperatures will also continue regionwide.

In this second and final part of the video blog regarding Kyle, we leave the meteorology behind and focus on the delivery of information. In an event like Kyle, a Tropical Storm Warning was issued, meaning tropical storm force winds of 39 mph or greater were imminent within 24 hours. These warnings are issued by the National Hurricane Center, and it’s imperative to pass along this information to the public-at-large. But this also raises several questions…
Part One of Two: An analysis of Hurricane Kyle and his absence of effects on New England
Posted by Matt Noyes September 29, 2008 at 12:48 pm
This is part one of a two part video post regarding Hurricane Kyle.
At NECN, we’re aware how much time, energy, effort and money goes into preparing for any storm expected to affect New England. At the same time, when the National Hurricane Center – the nation’s foremost experts in tropical meteorology – issues a watch, and especially a warning, it’s imperative that the information be conveyed to the general public…
Stubborn clouds begin the week, though brighter and drier times are in sight
Posted by Matt Noyes September 29, 2008 at 11:44 am
It’s a slow and drawn-out process getting rid of the deep tropical moisture that enveloped New England over the weekend, though we’re making progress. A video discussion outlines what to expect today, with cool, fall air poised to move back into New England….
