Outlines
šŖļø Major Weather Updates: Hurricane Isaac and More
On September 30th, 2024, the focus is on multiple tropical systems, with Hurricane Isaac being downgraded to a tropical storm as it moves towards Europe. Despite weakening, it may still cause rain and wind. Joyce, another storm, is also weakening and curving out to sea. A new system has emerged off the coast of Africa, potentially becoming the next hurricane, while Tropical Depression 12 is stirring considerable activity in the Atlantic. There's growing concern about a developing system in the Caribbean, which may impact the Gulf of Mexico. The Y'all Squad has also been actively supporting disaster relief, sending supplies and Starlink panels to areas impacted by recent storms, like Tennessee and Asheville, NC. They're providing connectivity to regions that may be without power for months.
š¬ļø Monitoring Tropical Depression 12 and Hurricane Kirk
Tropical Depression 12 is predicted to become a major hurricane, possibly named Kirk. This system is one of the most eastern storms to form this late in the season and is expected to become a Category 3 or higher. Fortunately, it's currently forecasted to curve out to sea, with minimal impact on land. Future updates will monitor any changes in trajectory. While the storm is fascinating from a meteorological perspective, it's unlikely to affect Bermuda or coastal areas. As of the editing of this video, Tropical Storm Kirk has officially formed and is likely to intensify into Hurricane Kirk soon.
š§ļø Gulf of Mexico Weather: Rain and Potential Flash Flooding
Attention shifts to the Gulf of Mexico, where a system linked to the Central American monsoon is brewing. While development remains uncertain, this system is likely to bring moisture to coastal regions, causing daily downpours and potential flash flooding in Florida, southern Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and southeastern Texas. The forecast shows development by October 7th, with the possibility of heavy thunderstorms and rain, but not a major hurricane. The host emphasizes the importance of staying alert, even if the current model predictions don't indicate a severe threat.
ā” Cold Air and Severe Weather Risks Ahead
After dealing with the current Gulf system, thereās a significant weather change forecasted from Canada. A major cold front will bring shots of cold air into the U.S. by mid-October, potentially leading to snowfall in the Great Lakes region as early as October 14th. The collision of cool air from the Rockies and warm air to the east could trigger severe weather outbreaks in the central U.S. during the latter half of October. The Climate Prediction Center is also noting upcoming weather patterns, predicting above-average temperatures for most regions, followed by a significant cool-down.
āļø Upcoming Weather Patterns: Warm to Cold Shift
The weather pattern will flip after a week of above-average temperatures, transitioning into a cooler period in mid-October. The western U.S. will see a warm ridge, pushing temperatures 30-40 degrees above average in some areas like Nebraska and Kansas. However, a strong cold front will follow, erasing the warm air and bringing cooler-than-normal temperatures. This shift is expected to spark more severe weather outbreaks and mark the beginning of fall's battleground between warm and cold air masses.
ā Rainfall Forecast and Continued Y'all Squad Efforts
The rainfall forecast for the next seven days shows low rain levels across most of the U.S., except for coastal areas in the Gulf of Mexico, where some places might experience up to 10 inches of rain. The Appalachian Mountains could also see additional rainfall, but no major flooding is anticipated. Updates on the Caribbean system will be provided daily, with the Y'all Squad continuing to assist affected areas by sending supplies and Starlink units. Their ongoing efforts, supported by donations, are aimed at helping communities that may be without power, water, or internet for months.

Transcripts
It's September 30th, 2024, and we've got someĀ major developments here with the weather. We'reĀ Ā
going to talk about the tropics first. OfĀ course, we've got Hurricane Isaac, which hasĀ Ā
been downgraded to a tropical storm. It's going toĀ continue to weaken as it heads up towards Europe,Ā Ā
but it still might cause some problems in termsĀ of rain and some decent winds. We've got Joyce outĀ Ā
there also weakening a little bit. It's going toĀ curve out to sea. It's a little fish storm. We'reĀ Ā
not worried about it. We've got another systemĀ that has kind of come off of the coast of AfricaĀ Ā
that could turn into our next hurricane out hereĀ in the main development region that we've got toĀ Ā
keep an eye on. And Tropical Depression 12 looksĀ very interesting. We've got a literal explosionĀ Ā
of activity out here in the Atlantic as this isĀ the most active that we have seen it so far. AndĀ Ā
of course all eyes are on our next system downĀ here in the Caribbean which is unfortunatelyĀ Ā
going to become another system in the Gulf ofĀ Mexico that we have to watch very closely forĀ Ā
our friends along the Gulf Coast. But before weĀ get into that I want to say thank you everybodyĀ Ā
yesterday that went over to theyallsquad.org andĀ made a donation. We've raised a significant amountĀ Ā
of money and we are in contact now with a lotĀ of emergency officials all up and down the EastĀ Ā
Coast in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, NorthĀ Carolina and Tennessee. And we are already onĀ Ā
the ground helping. We've got a semi truck full ofĀ supplies twenty to forty thousand dollars worth ofĀ Ā
supplies already out there on its way to TennesseeĀ where we're gonna then distribute it out to otherĀ Ā
places. All that's coming from our warehouse inĀ Iowa, the Y'all Squad headquarters. Additionally,Ā Ā
Chandra yesterday went to West Virginia andĀ bought literally every Starlink panel in WestĀ Ā
Virginia and today she's getting on a planeĀ and taking those to Asheville, North Carolina,Ā Ā
giving them to the local officials so that theyĀ can set up reference points to communicate withĀ Ā
each other and of course give people at sheltersĀ and in different places like that the ability toĀ Ā
connect with the outside world because people areĀ still in the dark out here and it might be monthsĀ Ā
before these people get water, power, or internet.Ā So we're doing everything we can to provide aĀ Ā
little bit of connectivity for them. And onceĀ again, we wouldn't be able to do that or anythingĀ Ā
else that we're going to do without you going overĀ to theyallsquad.org and making that tax-deductibleĀ Ā
donation to our 501c3 nonprofit organization.Ā Thank you so much for giving us this opportunity.Ā Ā
But of course, we do have to keep looking intoĀ the future. And once again, I said TropicalĀ Ā
Depression 12 was looking quite interesting, andĀ it's because this is going to end up being one ofĀ Ā
the most eastern storms to ever form this time ofĀ year that actually becomes a major hurricane. ThisĀ Ā
is going to become a Cat 3 or higher as it goesĀ to the west. The good news right now is that theĀ Ā
path doesn't look to impact anyone. It looks likeĀ this is gonna curve out to sea. It might not evenĀ Ā
cause any problems for Bermuda. So we are reallyĀ hoping that this is gonna be a big-time fish stormĀ Ā
and we don't have to worry about anything butĀ of course we're gonna be monitoring it here andĀ Ā
if there's any sort of westward shifts, then weĀ will be the first to let you know. But right now,Ā Ā
this is not something that we need to be worryingĀ about. If we come over to the GFS model and watchĀ Ā
it blow up on the 500 millibar wind speeds though,Ā it is pretty cool to look at. This is going to beĀ Ā
a powerful hurricane more than likely, and it'sĀ going to be named Kirk as long as it's the nextĀ Ā
one to get a name. Hurricane Kirk will likelyĀ be one of the strongest hurricanes of this timeĀ Ā
of year this far east. So just another interestingĀ tidbit about how unusual this hurricane season hasĀ Ā
been. We knew that it was going to be very active.Ā We knew that the waters out there were incrediblyĀ Ā
warm and conducive for hurricane formation. AndĀ now we're really starting to see that as we enterĀ Ā
the latter part of the season. But the good newsĀ is, is it's out of here. Okay, it's going to goĀ Ā
out to sea more than likely. There's another stormĀ right behind it, but it looks like it's going toĀ Ā
follow the same path. So hopefully we don't haveĀ to talk too much more about those storms. NoticeĀ Ā
how there's not any big hurricanes over here inĀ the Gulf despite that system in the Caribbean thatĀ Ā
is forming. Hello Future Ryan here. Listen,Ā we called it. All right, we said it's gonnaĀ Ā
become Kirk and as we're editing this video it hasĀ become Kirk so nothing much has changed about theĀ Ā
path or trajectory or the expected strength. WeĀ still think this is gonna be a major hurricane.Ā Ā
It still looks like it's gonna go out to sea butĀ it is officially Tropical Storm Kirk and it'llĀ Ā
be Hurricane Kirk very soon now. Now let's getĀ back to the present or the past. Let's go takeĀ Ā
a closer look at this. Look at all that moistureĀ down there in the Gulf of Mexico. This is a resultĀ Ā
of the Central American monsoon and if enough ofĀ that energy makes it over the Gulf of Mexico forĀ Ā
any amount of time, it is going to start spinningĀ and it's going to become some sort of tropicalĀ Ā
system. Now in the meantime, what this is goingĀ to do is it's just going to send a lot of moistureĀ Ā
up along the coastal areas. So we do have to worryĀ about daily downpours in the peninsula of Florida,Ā Ā
maybe some flash flooding concerns in southernĀ Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and the PanhandleĀ Ā
of Florida, maybe even in southeast Texas as well.Ā So as I continue to push this forward, watch howĀ Ā
there is finally some sort of development here inĀ the Gulf of Mexico as we get into Monday, OctoberĀ Ā
7th. And right now it's just that, a little bit ofĀ a development, some strong thunderstorms and someĀ Ā
heavy rain possible in the Panhandle accordingĀ to this model, but that's pretty much it. ItĀ Ā
does send a little bit of unneeded rainfallĀ up into the Appalachian Mountains, but nothingĀ Ā
crazy. Okay, right now the GFS is showing a prettyĀ typical tropical system kind of just bringingĀ Ā
some thunderstorms and rain into the area. It'sĀ not showing a major hurricane. It's not showingĀ Ā
anything like that. However, anytime we get aĀ storm in this part of the Gulf of Mexico thisĀ Ā
time of year we have to take it seriously and weĀ have to watch it. Nobody should be scared of thisĀ Ā
thing. Nobody should be concerned. If that changesĀ I'll be the first to let you know. But rightĀ Ā
now things are looking quite tame with our nextĀ system. It could change. But right now, let's justĀ Ā
not ring the alarm bells just yet. Go ahead andĀ prepare for potentially a pretty heavy rainstorm,Ā Ā
especially in the extreme southern areasĀ there in southern Alabama, southwest Georgia,Ā Ā
and the Panhandle of Florida. But outside of that,Ā let's just hope for the best. Now after we're doneĀ Ā
dealing with this system, and we'll have a lotĀ more updates on that in the coming days, there'sĀ Ā
another really interesting thing that's going toĀ happen as there's a pretty big change coming fromĀ Ā
Canada. And we'll talk about that right after weĀ shout out today's awesome sponsor. Factor mealsĀ Ā
healthy eating made easy. Storm season is gettingĀ plum wild and when I'm constantly making videos,Ā Ā
writing scripts, prepping for a live stream,Ā fixing broken computers, meal planning is the lastĀ Ā

Factor, for sponsoring the video. It helpsĀ us out. Let's get back into the video. Okay,Ā Ā
super huge shout out to them for sponsoring theĀ video. It's always a good thing whenever we haveĀ Ā
a sponsor here. So yeah, look at all this rainĀ coming up into the coastal areas of the Gulf. ThisĀ Ā
is associated with our next tropical system. ThisĀ is showing a weak tropical depression at most,Ā Ā
not a hurricane. There's a chance that it could beĀ stronger than that, but we're hoping for the bestĀ Ā
here. And we're not we're not creating any sort ofĀ hype around the fact this could be the next HeleneĀ Ā
because no it won't don't be scared. Be prepared.Ā I will let you know if there's any changes there.Ā Ā
Now once we're done with that there's gonnaĀ be some lingering rain in the Southeast andĀ Ā
unfortunately this might add a little bit of someĀ problems to the flooded areas especially whereĀ Ā
the ground still super saturated, but I don't seeĀ any major flooding concerns associated with thisĀ Ā
leftover rain here. It's just something that weĀ need to watch for maybe some additional floodingĀ Ā
problems. But the rest of us are gonna be in aĀ really quiet pattern for the next week or so. It'sĀ Ā
not gonna be doing much of anything at all. We areĀ gonna start to see a little bit of a ridge form inĀ Ā
the West which is gonna make things quite warmer.Ā But for the most part severe weather is off theĀ Ā
table at least until we get that big loomingĀ threat from Canada that I was talking aboutĀ Ā
before the break. This is essentially just gonnaĀ be a couple shots of cold air winter is reallyĀ Ā
trying to show up. We are in that classic fallĀ battleground where we get these big troughs comingĀ Ā
in. It looks like that's going to start around theĀ middle of October. And what that's going to bringĀ Ā
about is potentially some snow. OK, we're goingĀ to really have to talk about snow up here in theĀ Ā
Great Lakes region as early as October 14th. AndĀ it's going to bring about another severe weatherĀ Ā
season. As these big shots of cool air come intoĀ the Rockies and meet up with the warm air that'sĀ Ā
forming out east in the middle, we have to worryĀ about severe weather. And I think that we'reĀ Ā
actually going to have quite a few severe weatherĀ outbreaks towards the middle and latter half ofĀ Ā
October. You can see that temperature swing hereĀ very obviously. First of all, look at that ridgeĀ Ā
forming in the West. That's going to send a prettyĀ big plume of very warm air into the central U.S.Ā Ā
as we go into the latter part of this weekend andĀ early next week. It's going to be potentially 30Ā Ā
to 40 degrees above average in Nebraska, Kansas,Ā and Minnesota. So you're not gonna believe me nextĀ Ā
week when I say there's a huge shot of winter andĀ cool air coming in. But it is gonna be coming in.Ā Ā
It's gonna be quite warm and then that's gonnaĀ set the stage for our next big shot of cold air.Ā Ā
There's a little one that comes in for theĀ Great Lakes as we go into the October 10thĀ Ā
time period. But watch what happens after thatĀ a huge erasing of all that warm air happens asĀ Ā
a huge plume of much cooler air actually convertsĀ those above averages to below average temperaturesĀ Ā
in the central US and this is the kind of system IĀ think that will be responsible for sparking severeĀ Ā
weather outbreaks as we go deeper into October andĀ we're gonna get several different opportunitiesĀ Ā
here. Look at this. This is a stark differenceĀ between the very cool air and the very warmĀ Ā
air on October 16th. This is another system thatĀ could bring about some severe weather here in theĀ Ā
central US so we're gonna be watching that veryĀ very closely. The Climate Prediction Center isĀ Ā
seeing a of the same stuff. Okay, we've got aboveĀ average temperatures over the next 6 to 10 days.Ā Ā
We're near normal on the East Coast. This is goingĀ to flip. This is going to flip whenever we seeĀ Ā
that big pattern change and we start to see thoseĀ cool crashes of air coming down into the Rockies.Ā Ā
That happens after 10 days though, so keepĀ that in mind. From now until 10 days from now,Ā Ā
this is what we're talking about and then we'reĀ going to flip it a little bit as we go deeperĀ Ā
into October. Additionally, this is how much rainĀ we're expected to see over the next seven daysĀ Ā
and this is abysmally low for the vast majorityĀ of the United States, but notice those coastalĀ Ā
areas we are looking at. If you're really closeĀ to the ocean here in the Gulf of Mexico, someĀ Ā
places could see three, four inches of rain. SomeĀ places in the peninsula of Florida could see sevenĀ Ā
to 10 inches of rain over the next seven days. SoĀ it's going to be very rainy down there. EverybodyĀ Ā
else is not going to be seeing much rain at all,Ā except for over here in the Appalachian MountainsĀ Ā
where we could see some additional rainfall ofĀ around an inch or two over the next seven days,Ā Ā
which might cause a little bit of problems, butĀ for the most part shouldn't be too much to worryĀ Ā
about. And of course as we get updated data onĀ our system in the Caribbean, I'm gonna keep youĀ Ā
updated here. There's a chance that I make a videoĀ almost every day this week. If not for updatingĀ Ā
you on the Caribbean system, then at least everyĀ couple of days I'm gonna update you on what we'reĀ Ā
doing with the Y'all Squad and continue to updateĀ you on this big weather pattern shift that we'reĀ Ā
getting ready to have. So hopefully that's theĀ I would really hate to come back here tomorrowĀ Ā
or the next day and be like, ah, the GFS isĀ showing a big hurricane now. That's very unlikely,Ā Ā
but we are rooting against that. So once again,Ā thank you to Factor for sponsoring this video.Ā Ā
It's very awesome. And also thank you guys forĀ going over to theyallsquad.org. We're doing bigĀ Ā
things and we're gonna continue to do big thingsĀ for this foreseeable future in this area. HoweverĀ Ā
long we're needed we're gonna be continuing toĀ send trucks and people and Starlinks. WhateverĀ Ā
else is needed and we're going to be down there,Ā thanks to y'all. And that's all the weatherĀ Ā
talk I have for you today. Thank you so much.Ā I'll see you in the next one. Goodbye. Whoop!
