Carole says that when we truly believe something good is coming, we start taking action steps, even if we don't see the full picture yet.

Summer season weather phenomena: waterspouts and waterspout safety
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) – As we move into the summer months, we enter waterspout season. Waterspouts can be simply described as tornadoes that form over water. They fall into two main categories: fair-weather waterspouts and tornadic waterspouts. Tornadic Waterspouts Tornadic waterspouts are essentially tornadoes that occur over water. They either form directly over the water or begin as land-based tornadoes that move offshore. Like their land counterparts, tornadic waterspouts are associated with severe thunderstorms and are often accompanied by heavy rain, lightning, strong winds and turbulent conditions. Fair Weather Waterspouts Fair-weather waterspouts form during calm, quiet conditions—typically in the summer months, especially morning through early afternoon. Unlike tornadic waterspouts, these develop from the surface of the water upward, often triggered by the interaction between land and sea breezes, which creates the necessary upward motion. Fair-weather waterspouts tend to remain nearly stationary, but if one moves onshore, a tornado warning may be issued. While generally less dangerous than tornadic waterspouts, they can still be hazardous, appearing suddenly on otherwise calm weather days. There are five stages of fair weather waterspouts: Dark Spot: A lighter colored disk shape appears over the water with a darker colored disk shape around it. Spiral Pattern: A pattern of light and dark colored bands spiraling out of the dark spot can be seen. Spray Ring: A dense swirling ring of sea spray forms around the dark spot Mature Vortex: The waterspout forms from water to cloud. This vortex can rise to a height of several hundred feet or more. Decay: The vortex dissipates as the warm air flow weakens. How Waterspouts are Forecasted Meteorologists assess factors like water temperature, air temperature, moisture and wind speed to determine the likelihood of waterspout formation. Fair-weather waterspouts typically develop when water temperatures are warm, the air above is cool and moist and winds are light. This creates ideal conditions for instability and upward motion. In contrast, tornadic waterspouts occur during severe weather events, often forming within strong thunderstorms. When a waterspout is detected, the National Weather Service issues a Special Marine Warning to alert those on or near the water. If a waterspout is expected to move onshore, a Tornado Warning is issued for the affected land area. Safety Since fair-weather waterspouts can occur at any time during the summer, keeping an eye on the sky is a good safety habit. They are often associated with cumulus clouds, especially those with a dark, flat base. Tornadic waterspouts, on the other hand, occur during severe weather events. If you spot a waterspout, never head toward it. Treat it like a tornado: move away at a 90-degree angle from its path. Waterspouts can be unpredictable and dangerous, even on otherwise calm days.

School's out but the heat is up! How to keep your kids safe
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) – When the sun is shining, kids love to play, but the temperature is rising – and heat danger and exhaustion can happen fast. It is important to keep them cool and hydrated as children's bodies heat up three to five times faster than the average adult. Be careful on the playground. high temperatures and the beating summer sun can heat up the equipment and burn children's skin. The temperature on my WSAV Weather App says 84 degrees. The temperature of the slide with my thermometer says 121 degrees! That's about a 35 degree temperature difference so always make sure to check playground equipment before children climb or sit. Dr. Ashley Cheek, Pediatrician at Memorial Health, says 'The playground equipment looks the same all year round, but depending on what the weather is that day, it can be very hot and can cause really severe burns. even third degree burns.' To avoid injuries or burns, make sure to plan time outside away from the heat of the day or in the shade. The best time to be outside would be in the morning or the evening. Dr. Ashley Cheek also says 'I think it's an important point and especially for the summer is when you're going to the park, try to go before 10am or after 4pm. Those are the best times as far as sun exposure for kids. Playground equipment in direct sunlight also causes a risk of heating up quickly or even slowly and still causing damage.' If you have to be outside during the heat of the day when the sun is the highest in the sky, the best way to check equipment is with the back of your hand. It's less tough making it easier to feel the heat. It's also easier to pull your hand away to avoid getting burned. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Storm Team 3: Weather Aware Days Today & Monday
Today is another due to the possibility of strong to severe storms this afternoon and evening. It's still staying hot and humid today ahead of storms with highs in the low 90s and heat index values in the triple digits. This brings extra energy to help fuel storms today. Storms look to approach from the west right around lunchtime and continue to move through the area through the evening. The main threats for today include damaging and gusty winds, heavy rain, and isolated hail. The tornado risk is not completely zero at this time. Monday is also a due to strong to severe storms. The lunchtime through evening timeframe looks to remain the same for storms tomorrow, although our threats will be slightly different. There is a higher risk of a quick spin up with tomorrow's storms along with gusty and damaging winds and heavy rain. It is possible that this severe storm risk will continue this upcoming work week as temperatures stay in the 90s and heat index values stay in or very close to the triple digits allowing extra energy to fuel storms. As we continue to track this stalled front this week that sits to our north and west, we have the chances of scattered storms every day this week. Make sure to have multiple ways to receive alerts. Our WSAV Weather Now app is a great tool. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
