Below-normal temperatures, high winds and light rain are all in the weekend weather forecast for the annual Burning Man festival due to an early season storm that's poised to move into California and Nevada.

The National Weather Service's Reno office is calling the system "anomalously cold" and issued a special weather statement on Wednesday for anyone with outdoor plans in western Nevada over the three-day Labor Day weekend: "Be sure that you are prepared for the cold, wet, and windy conditions." The system is also expected to impact parts of Northern California.

Burning Man kicked off in Nevada's Black Rock Desert on Aug. 27 and wraps up on Sept. 4. On Wednesday, the festival was in full swing with art cars and decorated bicycles cruising the Playa amid hot weather. The afternoon high Wednesday was forecast to reach the mid-80s. The baking heat won't last for long. Afternoon highs Friday through Monday are forecast to be in the 70s. Overnight lows are expected to be in the 40s to 50s over the weekend. These temperatures aren't extremely cold, but are below normal for the region at this time of year.

Windy conditions are forecast for Thursday and Friday; the strongest winds are likely Thursday afternoon and evening, with sustained winds of 20 mph and isolated gusts of up to 30 to 35 mph, said Dustin Norman, a forecaster with the weather service.

There's a chance for light rain Thursday through Monday. The weather service predicts the Black Rock Desert could record up to two-tenths of an inch across four days. On Thursday night, the likelihood of rain is very slight, at only about a 10% chance.

Festival organizers urged attendees to anticipate strong winds and rain. "In the event of strong winds, participants are encouraged to batten down their camps," organizers for the festival said in a statement, "to make sure valuables are secure and can't blow away, and to help their neighbors." In the event of rain, attendees should not not drive or ride their bicycles, organizers cautioned, and not operate any "generators or other electrically powered instruments that are standing in water."

Albuquerque is known for its tremendous amount of cloud-free conditions and predominant sunshine during the Fall, but thunderstorms and rain showers are not infrequent. The Rio Grande River and the mountainous terrain along with the afternoon atmospheric heating often produce favorable conditions for convective clouds, rain showers and thunderstorms. Our meteorologists constantly monitor the KABQ weather radar, meteorological satellite images, and surface observations along with NWS (forecast office and Aviation Weather Center) to provide the maximum warning for unsafe conditions at Balloon Fiesta Park and local area. In addition to monitoring the official NWS weather observing information, our meteorologists install several local surface weather observing instruments around the Park to alert Balloon Fiesta leadership to potentially unsafe conditions. They also monitor the unofficial private weather stations (for example using Weather Underground stations) around the Albuquerque area to help pinpoint micro-meteorological effects that could adversely impact balloon operations and safety of flight.

Download 2023 will soon be upon us! Four days of the greatest and hottest bands in rock, metal and alternative music, headlined by Metallica (twice!), Slipknot and Bring Me The Horizon.

The Bay Area is still catching its breath after a rollercoaster of weather this past month, ranging from historic heat waves to unusual rainstorms. So with Hardly Strictly returning to Golden Gate Park, the question many are asking is what will the weather look like this weekend?

He received his Bachelor's degree in Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Illinois and a Master's in Climate Science at Western Kentucky University, conducting research on particulates in the Intermountain West. He previously conducted air quality research on Salt Lake City's transit network before serving as a meteorologist for the National Weather Service Bay Area. In that position he led an initiative aimed at increasing outreach to Spanish speaking communities during extreme weather events.

According to folklore, the amount of black on the woolly bear in autumn varies proportionately with the severity of the coming winter in the locality where the caterpillar is found. The longer the woolly bear's black bands, the longer, colder, snowier, and more severe the winter will be. Similarly, the wider the middle brown band is associated with a milder upcoming winter. The position of the longest dark bands supposedly indicates which part of winter will be coldest or hardest. If the head end of the caterpillar is dark, the beginning of winter will be severe. If the tail end is dark, the end of winter will be cold. In addition, the woolly bear caterpillar has 13 segments to its body, which traditional forecasters say correspond to the 13 weeks of winter.

The popularity of the woolly bear caterpillar has resulted in several festivals honoring them. Since 1973, the residents of Vermilion, Ohio have held an annual "Woolly Bear Festival". The festival is the brainchild of legendary Cleveland TV personality Dick Goddard, longtime weatherman at WJW-TV. It is claimed to be the largest one-day festival in Ohio. Festivities include a parade, woolly bear races and an "official" analysis of the woolly bears and forecast for the coming winter. Also, every 3rd weekend in October the annual Woolly Worm Festival is held in Banner Elk, NC. They begin their worm races around 10:20 AM, or as soon as the first heat, on Saturday morning. Races continue all day until the grand final about 4 PM when the champion worm and trainer is crowned (and paid!). At that time, the official winter forecast will be declared. Sunday worm races are for fun and small prizes and will continue throughout the day as long as there are race participants. Other festivals are held in Beattyville, KY (began in 1987); Lewisburg, PA (began in 1997); Oil City; PA (began in 2008); and Lion's Head, Ontario (began in 2011).

As far as the story about the woolly caterpillar's coat, this is how Mother Nature helps it survive winter. The fur is called setae and it isn't there to protect them from the cold weather. Instead it actually helps them to freeze more controllably. Here is something truly remarkable. Once settled in, the caterpillars hibernate, creating a natural organic antifreeze called glycerol. They freeze bit by bit, until everything but the interior of their cells are frozen. These interior cells are protected by the hemolymph. Woollybears can - and do - survive to temperatures as low as -90oF. This ability to adapt to cold shows up particularly in the Arctic, where the woolly worms live in a strange state of slow motion. Most caterpillars live for two to four weeks before becoming moths. The Arctic woolly worms, however, spend at least 14 years in the process! The woolly bear caterpillar has even been known to survive an entire winter completely frozen in an ice cube.

Early History

The art of weather forecasting began with earlycivilizations using reoccurring astronomical and meteorological eventsto help them monitor seasonal changes in the weather. Around 650 B.C.,the Babylonians tried to predict short-term weather changes based on theappearance of clouds and optical phenomena such as haloes. By 300 B.C.,Chinese astronomers had developed a calendar that divided the year into24 festivals, each festival associated with a different type of weather.

Around 340 B.C., the Greek philosopher Aristotle wrote Meteorologica, aphilosophical treatise that included theories about the formation ofrain, clouds, hail, wind, thunder, lightning, and hurricanes. Inaddition, topics such as astronomy, geography, and chemistry were alsoaddressed. Aristotle made some remarkably acute observationsconcerning the weather, along with some significant errors, and hisfour-volume text was considered by many to be the authority on weathertheory for almost 2000 years. Although many of Aristotles claims wereerroneous, it was not until about the 17th century that many of hisideas were overthrown. 2351a5e196
