What is the Fujiwhara Effect?
Hurricanes are among the most intense weather systems on the planet. When two tropical cyclones get too close for comfort, a delicate dance can happen and lead to some unusual things. Meteorologists call this tropical tango the Fujiwhara Effect. It happens when two tropical cyclones get close enough to each other to create a shared center, forcing the two storms to whip around that common central point. If one of the storms is stronger than the other, the effect usually leads to the weaker one being gobbled up by the more powerful cyclone. If the storms are similar in strength, they can sometimes merge or just slingshot around each other and continue on their way. On rare occasions, the storms can combine into a larger storm, according to the National Weather Service. Bryan Norcross Discusses How Ai Will Become Critical Forecasting Tool This Season This lesson in physics was demonstrated by Super Typhoon Hinnamnor in 2022 in the Pacific Ocean. Hinnamnor devoured a weaker tropical low that was near it. The video below shows how Hinnamnor, indicated by the hurricane symbol, pulled the weaker tropical cyclone, indicated by the L symbol, toward it. Eventually, the hurricane overpowered the weaker storm and absorbed it. Is It A Two-nado? 7 Weather Phenomena That Will Have You Seeing Double According to Noaa, the cyclones need to be between 350 and 860 miles of each other to begin rotating around their common center. That distance is dependent on the size of the article source: What is the Fujiwhara Effect?

Generosity from community shines as McAlester recovers from Saturday's storms
On the morning of June 7, McAlester residents woke up to see buildings with their roofs ripped away and tree branches scattered in the road. The community of around 18,000 was only under a marginal risk of severe weather, but it 'experienced a mix of both wind and tornado damage,' according to the National Weather Service in Tulsa. With any catastrophe in Pittsburg County, however, compassion rises. Anyone part of the 'What's going on in Pittsburg County' Facebook group has seen the familiar postings of Starla's Sloppy Hog appearances in McAlester. The food truck makes a weekly 50-mile trip to serve barbecue in the Dollar General parking lot. When co-owners Chris and Starla Workman found out about the disaster, they said they immediately knew they wanted to help those in need in a place that has given them and the business unwavering support. 'For me and Starla, it's all about giving back to the community that's provided so much to us,' Chris Workman said. 'We get as much enjoyment out of this as we do winning any trophy doing barbecue competitions or anything like that.' Brad Bevans, owner of All About U Plumbing in McAlester, also said he wanted to do his part in helping the community in which he was born and raised. His company is still offering free emergency plumbing services to storm victims and has already helped 25 people. 'If I can help somebody and it makes a difference in their life, that's what I was sent here for,' Bevans said. McAlester resident SkyAnn Golden summarized the heart of the community best, saying disaster brings out true generosity in people who always want to help those in need through trying times. Golden and her husband Charlie are co-owners of Golden Drywall and Remodeling and have worked tirelessly since the sound of the tornado sirens faded Saturday. The couple has removed tree limbs and debris from the roofs of McAlester residents unable to do the work themselves. 'I know that a lot of times we see the bad news and the bad things that are going on, but there's a lot of good people in this community,' SkyAnn Golden said. 'I'm grateful and I'm thankful that we're in a community that can come together and can help people when they're in need.' For those who sustained storm damage and need assistance, All About U Plumbing can be reached at 918-318-0042 and Kingdom Builder Ministries, partner of Golden Drywall and Remodeling, can be reached at 918-916-7684.

Eyewitness Weather for Monday, June 9th: Rain Tuesday Morning, But Still Not A Washout!
Meteorologist Jordan Reed has your latest Eyewitness Weather forecast for this Monday, June 9th… Starting late tonight, expect stormy weather to move in! Thunderstorms will sweep slowly across the area, bringing heavy rain, strong winds, and even some hail. Because of how much rain could fall in a short time, the National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch for a large part of the region, including Chenango and Madison counties, which will last through tomorrow morning. Flash flooding is a real concern, especially in spots that have already been soaked recently. After a brief lull during the day, storms are expected to fire up again this evening. Some could be severe, especially to the west, with damaging winds being the biggest threat. Hail is also possible, and there's even a slight chance of an isolated tornado. Flooding is a serious risk. Roads could become hazardous quickly, and rising water can be a lot more dangerous than it looks. Never try to drive through flooded roads or go around barricades—it only takes a small amount of water to sweep a car away. Floodwaters can also hide debris, downed power lines, or contaminants. Things should start calming down on Tuesday, with just a few leftover showers in the morning and better weather by the afternoon. Wednesday and most of Thursday look dry and pleasant, but more pop-up showers or storms could return later Thursday and into the weekend. Temperatures will stay mild, mostly in the 70s and low 80s during the day, with cooler nights in the 50s and low 60s. As the weekend approaches, expect it to feel a bit cooler again, with more clouds and some additional showers possible.
