how is the weather here and how does it compare to the old search area? on a front, this move, 700 meters north, both meteorologically and in terms of oceanography is beneficial. what they need is visual confirmations. and the weather has been so poor it s hard to do that let me show you what we ve got. here s the indian ocean. it s kind of like a y divided up in three quadrants and tectonics, and the plates. things rotate counterclockwise. there s the old search area, it s right along the latitude of the 40s we call that the rolling 40s. because at this latitude, you can see, these are the currents. the waves are strong. the waves are high. the currents are voracious, and big storms can develop. this move, 700 miles north, the currents aren t as strong. wave heights alone, on average, in this new area, are about 60,
season ticket holders get the surprise of a lifetime, tickets to the super bowl. but when they went to pick them up, the team said no, dice. here s the problem. the tickets were in the name of family members who passed away. team says the ticket holder of record must be the one to pick up the ticket. one time they said it s broncos policy, one time they said it s nfl policy. i don t know whose policy it is or if they re just making stuff up as they go. the ticket holder still say they re loyal fans but wish they were treated differently. clearly. those are your headlines. rick and i talking about the weather. i m saying i want on super bowl sunday, i want a snowstorm. is that wrong of me? during the game. i think a lot of people felt that way. if you re going to bring us to a cold climate. we love watching football when you have a big snowstorm happening in the middle. it s awesome. i m not going to rule it out. there are things that happen meteorologically. eight days away
even realizing explained meteorologically why we had that ice storm in dallas and why we have it is because it was 80 degrees a few days before. and there was so much warm layer, warm air at the surface the cold layer was so slim, that s what came down from the sky, was warm, warm, warm, warm and then it froze on the surface because it was a shallow layer of air. very different set-up than now. now we have an ice storm developing on the eastern seaboard. the good news tomorrow, on monday, we re going to watch temperatures rebound into the 40s. tomorrow is the ice day and then monday temperatures will warm up significantly. so this ice won t stay. hoarse the timeline. as we head toward tomorrow. here comes the ice delineated in the pink and snow and the rain. sunday night and monday morning, moves into the northeast of new england and moves out. timingwise in the cities. let me show you what we re going to expect. here s washington, d.c. we do have a winter storm watch there. in the mor
reporter: now you let me just answer a question that s probably coming in your mind right now. is this storm chasing business worth it? the answer is, yes, meteorologically, there is, because there is a disconnect between the data we can get from the radar and what the tornado is actually doing. so to keep people safe, you need those vehicles on the ground to actually see what the tornado is doing, craig, so that s why they continue to do it. mike, he might not. he is going to take some days to think about it. i would imagine so i have always enjoyed mike s work. please pass along our regards. glad he is doing well. glad you re doing well, too. take care of yourself, guys. be well. sure. sure. thanks. that was dave malkoff for us from the weather channel from lawton, oklahoma. today is also, we should note, the official start of the
heel for him. i wanted to ask you about something you wrote in the days just after sandy. you made a political observation. the monster storms such as sandy, most climate experts say are a sign of things to come as the planet becomes more meteorologically bipolar. these severe weather patterns meet global warming. we know that it was up by about 5 degrees on the surface in the ocean in conjunction with that hurricane. not an open and shut case, of course, for tying global warming to any individual weather event. but overwhelming trends of oceans getting warmer which has a lot of bad consequences. to your point, what you were writing about then in the heat of the election. how do democrats in particular, barack obama and future democrats here deal with global warping in these inclement
