Chat with our AI personalities
Storms in the US and Canada generally move from west to east due to the dominant flow of the jet stream. However, storms can also move in other directions based on local weather patterns and geographical features. Coastal areas may experience storms moving from the ocean inland, while mountainous regions can influence storm movement and intensity.
The prevailing westerly winds, known as the jet stream, are primarily responsible for the movement of weather systems across the US and Canada. These high-altitude, fast-moving air currents help steer storm systems and influence the overall weather patterns in the region. Additionally, local wind patterns near mountain ranges, bodies of water, and temperature gradients also play a role in shaping weather movements.
Artificial turf itself is not conductive, so it is generally safe to be on during a lightning storm. However, it is still advisable to seek shelter indoors during a lightning storm to avoid any potential risks.
Tropical storm-force winds typically extend outwards up to 300 miles from the center of a hurricane. However, the size and intensity of the storm can influence the extent of these winds.
Generally not. A tropical storm is the same type of storm as a hurricane except weaker. A tropical storm has sustained winds ranging from39 to 73 mph. One winds hit 74 mph or higher it is considered a hurricane.
