REPORTS HURRICANES CAUSED RECORD WETNESS IN EAST; CONTRASTS
WITH DRYNESS IN MISSISSIPPI VALLEY, EARLY SNOW IN ALASKA
Hurricanes Frances, Ivan and Jeanne, which battered the United
States last month, were enough to break rainfall records for
September in states throughout the Southeast and along the
East Coast. Overall, temperature and precipitation were above
average across the contiguous United States in September,
according to scientists at the NOAA Climatic Data Center in
Asheville, N.C. After a cool August, warmth returned in September,
especially in the Great Lakes and upper Midwest, while Alaska
was cooler than average for the month, compared to a record
warm summer (June-August).

U.S. WINTER OUTLOOK — NOAA scientists announced
that a number of climate conditions will influence the winter
weather across the United States from December through February.
The NOAA 2004-2005 Winter Outlook calls for above-average temperatures
in Alaska, much of the West and the northern and central Great
Plains. Below average temperatures are expected across the Gulf
Coast states, the Southeast and the mid-Atlantic region of the
U.S. There are equal chances of warmer, cooler or near-normal
temperatures this winter in the Northeast, Midwest and parts
of Southwest. |

TAKES AERIAL IMAGES OF FLORIDA REGIONS AFFECTED BY HURRICANE
JEANNE — NOAA posted online more than 1,200
high-resolution digital aerial images of the Florida coastline
affected by Hurricane Jeanne, which made landfall on Sept. 26,
2004. During five flights, the NOAA Remote Sensing Division
collected imagery of the 100-mile stretch from Melbourne to
Palm Beach, Fla., hours after Hurricane Jeanne slammed the east
coast of the state with maximum sustained winds near 120 mph. |
