Weather forecasting has moved from a nightly broadcast to the centre of operational decision-making. The meteoblue Weather & Climate Summit in Basel this October will examine how forecasting reached that position and where the field is heading.
As the Northern Hemisphere moves from summer into autumn, the North Atlantic atmosphere begins a seasonal reorganisation. Faster cooling at high latitudes strengthens the temperature contrast between polar and subtropical air, influencing the jet stream and creating a more favourable environment for mid-latitude weather systems.

Overnight into Sunday it is mostly cloudy. And early in the day even more clouds will move in. Sunday afternoon there is a chance of thunderstorms and local showers. The sun will not be visible. Precipitation is very likely with an 80% chance. Temperature highs are likely to reach 84 °F. Overnight into Sunday expect a moderate breeze (12 to 18 mph). By day blows a fresh breeze (18 to 25 mph). Gusts to 40 mph are possible. Winds blowing at night and in the morning from East and during the afternoon from Northeast. The weather forecast for Nishihara for Sunday can be accurate in parts but deviations are expected. Check again for latest updates.
Pressure: 1004 hPa
Timezone: JST (UTC +09:00h)

The animation shows the wind conditions of the storm at 200m above ground, which corresponds well with expected gusts at the surface. Choose other time steps to see the forecast of the storm.
The location marker is placed on Nishihara. This animation shows the precipitation radar for the selected time range, as well as a 2h forecast. Orange crosses indicate lightning. Data provided by nowcast.de (available in USA, Europe, Australia). Drizzle or light snow fall might be invisible for the radar. Precipitation intensity is colour coded, ranging from turquoise to red.

The real-time satellite image combines visible light during daytime with infrared radiation during nighttime. At night, the image is not dark as infrared radiation can detect temperature differences. Unfortunately, low clouds and fog are difficult to distinguish from ground temperatures and thus can be almost invisible during the night. Meteosat satellite images for Europe are updated in real-time every 5 minutes. GOES-16/GOES-17 (North & South America) and Himawari (Asia) images update every 10 minutes.
Precipitation is estimated from radar and satellites. Precipitation estimates from satellites are less accurate at night than during daytime.
