Tropische storm Bill

Tropical Storm Bill is pushing ashore over the Central Texas coast, bringing torrential rains and sustained winds near 60 mph. At 7:45 am CDT, the Brazos 538 oil rig off the Central Texas coast recorded sustained winds of 41 mph gusting to 64 mph. While heavy flooding rains are the main threat from Bill, a few weak tornadoes will also be be possible today, particularly in the Houston metropolitan area. NOAA's Storm Prediction Center is giving a 40% chance that they will issue a tornado watch for the area today. Radar out of Corpus Christi and satellite images showed that Bill's heavy thunderstorms increased markedly in areal coverage and intensity on Tuesday morning, and its a good thing the storm did not have another twelve hours over water, or it would have become a hurricane. Bill's landfall in Texas makes the U.S. two-for-two so far for landfalls this hurricane season: Tropical Storm Ana, the first named storm of the season, hit South Carolina back on May 10. The last time the first two named storms of the season both made landfall in the U.S. was in 2001, when Tropical Storm Allison hit Texas and Tropical Storm Barry hit the Florida Panhandle. Bill is the fourteenth named storm to form in the Gulf of Mexico in the month of June since 1950 (thanks to Phil Klotzbach for this stat.)

Bill a major flood threat
A huge area of flash flood watches stretches from Central Texas to Illinois in anticipation of the arrival of tropical moisture from Bill. Bill poses its most serious flood threat along a swath from eastern Texas into eastern Oklahoma, where up to 8" of rain is possible through Wednesday. Both states just experienced the wettest single month in their history during May, and soils remain near saturation. Houston lies at the edge of the predicted heaviest swath of rain, and Dallas is squarely in the bulls-eye. Steering currents will be weak as the system rotates clockwise around a strong, hot dome of high pressure over the Southeast late in the week, and Bill's remnants are expected to dump as much as five inches of rain over portions of Missouri and Illinois on Thursday and Friday

	quote: Bill aan land in Texas In de Amerikaanse staat Texas is storm Bill vannacht aan land gekomen met windsnelheden van zo'n 80 kilometer per uur. De storm veroorzaakte hevige regenval en straten die volledig blank stonden. Er wordt gevreesd dat het nog erger wordt, want de storm kan zeker drie dagen duren. Enkele weken geleden leidde zware regenval nog tot veel overlast in de Amerikaanse staat. Toen vielen meer dan dertig doden en werden honderden woningen compleet vernield.

	Although it was downgraded to tropical-depression status by the National Hurricane Center at 1:00 am Wednesday, the system known as Bill remains a serious threat for flood-producing rain over a belt extending through central Texas across eastern Oklahoma and into the Midwest. NHC issued its final advisory on Bill at 4:00 am CDT, when the center of circulation was located about 45 miles south of Waco, TX. Top winds were at 35 mph, and Bill was moving north at 13 mph with a minimum central pressure of 1000 mb. National Weather Service radar showed the center of Bill approaching the Dallas-Fort Worth area at 10:00 am CDT, with a large shield of moderate to occasionally heavy rain north of its center. Responsibility for monitoring TD Bill has been handed from NHC to the NOAA’s Weather Prediction Center, which is monitoring Bill’s rainfall and the resulting flood threat.

	Doden door noodweer in midden Verenigde Staten Door noodweer in het midden van de Verenigde Staten zijn zeker drie mensen omgekomen, onder wie een jongetje van twee. Hij werd uit de armen van zijn vader gesleurd tijdens overstromingen in de staat Oklahoma. In buurstaat Missouri kwam ook iemand om door overstromingen. De derde is een vrouw die in Texas tijdens het noodweer met haar auto van de weg raakte, meldden de autoriteiten donderdag. Het lichaam van de peuter werd een dag nadat het jongetje vermist raakte, teruggevonden door hulpverleners in de stad Ardmore (Oklahoma). Door de overstromingen werden hij en zijn vader een beek ingesleurd. Een lokaal tv-station meldde nog een vierde dode. Een vrouw van tachtig zou in de staat Oklahoma dood zijn gevonden in een auto die onder water stond. Het midden van de VS wordt geteisterd door tropische storm Bill, die richting het noordoosten trekt. Bill zorgt onder meer voor veel regen. Volgens het Amerikaanse nationale weerbureau kan er op sommige plekken 30 centimeter vallen. Verwacht wordt dat de storm na vrijdag afzwakt. In Missouri is de noodtoestand uitgeroepen. Eind mei hadden in Texas en Oklahoma ook al last van noodweer, waardoor zo'n veertig mensen omkwamen. http://www.nu.nl/algemeen(...)ampaign=nunl_twitter
