Sixth Montana Wildfire Designated for Federal Funds
We've had a request for an answer to the question regarding the most
northern tornado...
On 3rd of August, 1997 there was an F0 tornado in Nunnanen,
at northern Finland. Coordinates are about 68,22 N / 24,34 E
What do you think, was this the most northern tornado in
world ever recorded ? I know there has been at least one tornado
in Alaska 1959, but it was further south.
=> Current Tropical Weather Outlook For The North Atlantic Caribbean Sea And
The Gulf Of Mexico
A broad non-tropical low pressure system is on the coast of North Carolina
between Cape Fear and Cape Lookout...and is moving inland. This system will
produce heavy rains over portions of North and South Carolina and Virginia
during the next day or two. See forecasts and statements from local National
Weather Service offices for additional information.
Satellite pictures indicate that there has been little change in the strong
westward-moving tropical wave located about 450 miles west- southwest of the
Cape Verde Islands. Upper-level winds have become less favorable for
tropical cyclone development.
Elsewhere...tropical storm formation is not expected through Thursday.

INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SITUATION REPORT
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 30, 2000 - 0530 MDT
NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS LEVEL V
CURRENT SITUATION:
A total of nine new large fires were reported, five in the Southern Area,
two in Northern Rockies, and one each in the Rocky Mountain and Southwest
Areas. Crews reached containment goals on seven large fires in the
Northern Rockies, Southern, Northwest and Northern California Areas.
Initial attack activity was light to moderate in most areas. An
approaching trough, which is predicted to bring showers and cooler
temperatures to the northwest and northern Rockies, will assist crews in
making progress toward containment goals on the large fires. Very high to
extreme fire indices have been reported in all western states and in North
Dakota, Texas, Kansas, Arkansas and Oklahoma.
The training cadre and military crew advisors are traveling to Camp
Lejeune, NC today to begin training the 3rd Battalion 2nd Marines. This
Marine battalion, commanded by Lt. Col. Smith, will be deployed to the
Clear Creek fire in Idaho.

mixed conifer in Catron County, NM. The fire was ignited by lightning on
8/25 and grew to its current size over the weekend. Observed fire
behavior includes creeping on the ground and less than one foot flame
lengths. The fire is being monitored by U.S. Forest Service personnel.
OUTLOOK:
A Pacific trough will move across the northwest along the Canadian border
and will bring cooler temperatures behind this system. There is a chance
of showers in eastern Washington, northern Idaho and western Montana. The
air mass will remain dry in Oregon and central and southern Idaho.
Monsoonal moisture will bring thunderstorms to the higher elevations in
the Sierra Nevada, across central Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, and southward.
Winds will generally be west to northwest at 10 to 20 mph in the northwest
United States. In the rest of the area, winds will be upslope or
southwest at 15 mph or less.
Temperatures will be in the 70's to mid 80's in the mountains, mid 80's to
90's in the lower elevations and 100 to 110 in the hottest deserts.
Relative humidity will be in the teens and 20's with some single digit
readings occurring in the driest areas.

Summary of Forecasts & Threats
SYNOPSIS: Models predict a big change in the West, as a deep trough covers
the West for much of the forecast period. The pattern change will result in
cooler and wetter weather for much of the region enduring large wildfires.
Heat and dryness, however, remains a threat for the southern Plains through
the forecast period, as the dominating high pressure system aloft remains in
place over the south-central States. Tropical moisture should bring heavy
showers to the Southeast, easing drought from Alabama into Georgia, but
increasing the risk of local floods from northeast Georgia through the
Carolinas.
THREATS
The fire threat will be reduced as a vigorous upper level trough brings
welcomed rains and cooler weather to much of the West.
Hot and dry weather will persist over the southern Plains, intensifying
drought.
Locally heavy rain is likely in the Southeast, easing drought in Alabama and
western Georgia, but bringing the risk of local flooding to the Carolinas
and northeastern Georgia.
DETAILED SUMMARY
For Friday September 1 through Sunday September 3: Models predict a strong
upper level trough will dominate the West while the ridge over the central
states weakens somewhat and shifts eastward. A tropical wave or low should
track westward into the Southeast coastal states, bringing drought-reducing
rain to Alabama and western Georgia, but possible local flooding from
northeast Georgia to the Carolinas. Heat and dryness will persist over the
Plains states, but welcomed cooler air with rain will ease dryness in the
Northwest.
For Monday September 4 through Tuesday September 12: Models currently
predict a trough over the West and ridge building up again over the
south-central states. There is some tendency for both the trough to weaken
and the ridge to shrink southward toward the end of the forecast period as
the westerlies slide southward, but confidence in the models is low beyond
the first week of September. Rains from a tropical system in the Southeast
should persist into the early part of the period, while the heat and dryness
in the southern Plains will likely remain entrenched for most of the period.
Below-normal temperatures should prevail over the Great Basin, interior
Northwest, and central and northern Rockies, easing dryness and wildfire
threat. Though fire threat will likely remain in the Southwest, lower
temperatures may offer some lessening of fire risk in this region also.
=> Civil Air Patrol -- Kehoe predicts promising year for convention goers
MAXWELL AIR FORCE BASE, Ala. - "I for one see a very bright future," Air
Force Inspector Genera Lt. Gen. Nicholas B. Kehoe told attendees at the
closing banquet for Civil Air Patrol's National Board and Annual Conference,
Aug. 17-19. at the Marriott Rivercenter Hotel in San Antonio.
Gen. Kehoe's speech underscored the theme of Civil Air Patrol's conference,
"Positioned for the Future."
In his speech, Kehoe discussed increased support and greater involvement
from across the Air Force in aerospace education and cadet programs that
nurture leadership development and core values, and a love of aviation. He
also spoke of more mentors, better facilities, unit sponsors, and direct
involvement by the Air Force in wing missions, exercises, and community
events.
"They are all within the realm of possibility," Kehoe said. "Imagine the
availability and application of more modern, high-technology capabilities
and a closer, more effective working relationship with Air Force command and
control and coordination facilities that will enhance the emergency services
and drug eradication missions you perform for our nation.
"But there is much work to be done," Kehoe continued. "So, why not let your
imagination take flight."
Over the past year, many events have taken place that have the potential to
transform Civil Air Patrol, according to CAP National Commander Brig. Gen.
James C. Bobick. "We have worked together with Air Force staff and members
of the U.S. Congress to outline a new foundation for the Air Force
Auxiliary, which will result in positive changes for our organization.
"To this end, we are grateful for the efforts General Kehoe put forth on
behalf of Civil Air Patrol over the past year," said Bobick. "He was our
natural choice for keynote speaker."
At its semiannual meeting, the board voted on several issues that will have
dramatic effects on the future of Civil Air Patrol.
Of the items considered, foremost is the approval of a new constitution and
bylaws, which contains provisions for a Board of Governors that will include
representatives from the U.S. Air Force and general aviation.
The approved constitution and bylaws outlines the selection process for
corporate officers, defines the powers of those officials and their
responsibilities, spells out the criteria for membership, and includes
provisions for a Membership Action Review Board. The new constitution and
bylaws can be viewed under News & Issues on CAP's website www.capnhq.gov.
In other business, the board reelected Col. Rick Bowling as national vice
commander. Gen. Bobick appointed Col. Phillip S. Groshong as Pacific Region
commander and Col. Duddly L. Hargrove as national inspector general.
Nearly 800 members of Civil Air Patrol took part in the convention,
attending seminars specifically geared for positioning CAP for the future.
On Saturday morning, Civil Air Patrol's top-performing members were honored
at the awards ceremony, "Key Pieces, Key People."
The ceremony began with recipients of the Frank G. Brewer-Civil Air Patrol
Memorial Aerospace Awards. The following were recipients of this honor:
Lt. Col. Georgia M. Franklin, Washington Wing, and Senior Member Mary S.
Feik, Maryland Wing, co-recipients of the Five-Year Brewer Anniversary
Award;
Dr. John H. Campbell, Colorado, Individual Brewer recipient;
The Colorado Soaring Association, Organizational Brewer recipient;
Senior Member Capt. Elmer L. Mooring, Maryland Wing, Senior Member; and
Cadet Lt. Col. Barbara Bolinger, Colorado Wing, Cadet.
Other Civil Air Patrol members were recognized for excellence in the
following categories:
Capt. Russell W. Kohl, Oklahoma Wing, Safety Officer of the Year;
1st Lt. Joseph J. Mixter Jr., Massachusetts Wing, Col. Robert V. "Bud"
Payton National Public Affairs Officer of the Year;
Lt. Col. Dave Crawford, Middle East Region, Communicator of the Year;
Lt. Col. Thomas J. O'Connor, Minnesota Wing, National Historian of the Year;
Chaplain (Lt. Col.) Ralph E. Rivers, Florida Wing, Senior Chaplain of the
Year;
Chaplain (Capt.) Jack A. Barber, Colorado Wing, Squadron Chaplain of the
Year;
Col. Bryan W. Cooper, Rhode Island Wing, Moral Leadership Officer of the
Year;
Maj. Joe V. Muffoletto, Louisiana Wing, F. Ward Reilly Leadership Award;
Cadet Lt. Col. Zachary Miller, Washington Wing, Cadet of the Year; and
Lt. Col. Anita J. Raymond, Massachusetts Wing, Senior Member of the Year.
The following wings and units were recognized for their excellence over the
past year:
Oklahoma Wing, Paul W. Turner Safety Award;
New Hampshire Wing, Outstanding Drug Demand Reduction; and
Baton Rouge Cadet Squadron, Louisiana Wing, Squadron of Distinction.
At the conclusion of the ceremony, Lorri Murrel, chief of internal auditing
was recognized as CAP National Headquarters Employee of the Year.
Each year, CAP's annual convention is held in conjunction with the
organization's semiannual board meeting. CAP sponsored more than 60
different seminars and workshops designed to help members prepare for the
upcoming changes in their organization. The seminars discussed topics
related to CAP missions - aerospace education, cadet programs, emergency
services - and administration of other programs.
In addition to Gen. Kehoe, others speakers included motivational speaker
Michael Fortino, Paul L. Graziani, president and chief executive officer of
Analytical Graphics; and Arthur T. Dean, chairman and CEO of Community
Anti-Drug Coalitions of America.
"CAP extends its appreciation to Cessna Aircraft Corporation, Maule Air,
Inc., Plan-it Marketing Group, Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association,
Luscombe Aircraft Corporation, USAA, Southern Avionics, and Eastern Aero
Marine for their contributions to this annual meeting," says Bobick. "The
generous support of our many sponsors have offset conference costs
considerably."
CAP, the official Air Force Auxiliary, is a nonprofit organization. It
performs more than 85 percent of inland search and rescue missions in the
continental United States, as tasked by the Air Force Rescue Coordination
Center at Langley Air Force Base, Va. CAP's 60,000 volunteer members also
take a leading role in aerospace education and serve as mentors to America's
youth through the CAP Cadet Program.

NASA Science News for August 29, 2000
For many years, researchers agreed that climate
change was triggered by "greenhouse
gases," with carbon dioxide from burning of
fossil playing the biggest role. However, NASA
funded scientists suggest that climate change in
recent decades has been mainly caused by air
pollution containing non-carbon dioxide
greenhouse gases.
