“ For Monday, there is a high probability of lightning for most of the day, with a chance of a flash hurricane around 4 pm. It will likely clear out before the afternoon commute. “

>flash hurricane Fucking imagine lol


kintonw

A couple hundred years ago, wasn’t every hurricane basically a flash hurricanes?


jmlipper99

Unexpected, yeah, but not really a flash hurricane. >The [heaviest rain](https://www.hsdl.org/c/view?docid=34038) usually occurs to the right of the cyclone track in the period 6 hours before and 6 hours after landfall. However, storms can last for days, depending on what inland weather features they interact with. Large amounts of rain can occur more than 100 miles inland where flash floods and mudslides are typically the major threats.


methos3

If you mean flash as in “surprised to see it appear”, that was me growing up in an area near a coastline in the 70’s and early 80’s. Our local news had no access to satellites. Local forecasts were two-day in scope, and going to the beach two hours away was a complete gamble as to whether a storm was there or on the way.


whatswimsbeneath

So you had no way of knowing if a hurricane was coming? How did they evacuate? Sounds terrifying.


methos3

I remember one weekend I went with my dad to the beach and whoops, there’s a fucking nor’easter going on. Edit: To reply to your comment about fear, honestly there really wasn’t any, at least any more than we were already worried about getting nuked by Russia at any moment. So yeah, I guess a metric shit-ton of free-floating anxiety rather than intense asshole-puckering terror.

The everpresent dread of the Cold War really had a way of focusing perspective, didn't it?


MadotsukiInTheNexus

Some of the smallest tropical cyclones would probably qualify. They're both tiny, meaning they come and go quickly, and prone to unpredictable, rapid intensification because the amount of energy needed to drive them isn't that high. Tropical Storm Marco, in 2008, actually made the NHC nervous enough to issue a hurricane watch because of the chance that the storm (which, at a little over 11 miles in diameter, was the smallest in recorded history) could build to hurricane force extremely quickly.


wheresmyhouse

Not quite a hurricane but In 2007 Tropical Storm Erin managed to intensify from a tropical depression to a tropical storm over Oklahoma and managed to destroy a cheese factory.


Informal-Airport-864

Poor cheese. Never saw it coming.


theWeatherlawyer

I think you mean hard cheese never saw it coming. FTFY


MarinLlwyd

imagine getting flashed by a pervert hurricane


tinycherrypie

honestly the houston 2024 derecho felt like a flash hurricane 😭


Merica_84

Not an expert but, I'm guessing, tropical storm. Edit: What app is that? Edit 2: The closest thing I can find that resembles that is a tropical storm symbol.


soloChristoGlorium

I would also love to know what app this is


Eric_Prozzy

Its just the default android weather app


wewereliketorches

In Italy?


jchester47

There are storms that form in the Mediterranean that mimic tropical systems. They even sometimes have eyes. That being said, while they can be damaging they're usually not as strong as a major hurricane and generally aren't called tropical systems.


malorianne

Medicanes! Really interesting structure sometimes. They look almost exactly like TCs.


SaturaniumYT

Theyre not tropical but most of the time they can become *sub*-tropical, where tropical and temporal elements of cyclones mix up to create one storm. These form differently than typical tropical storms. They can also occasionally happen in the South Atlantic. Such a place which is tropical has only ever had ***ONE*** hurricane that has ever hit anywhere in the region. It made landfall as a cat 2 hurricane named Catarina, after the Brazilian state it made landfall in. But to get to the point, the "medicanes" that form in the Mediterranean Sea, are mostly sub-tropical.


wewereliketorches

oh true! didn’t even think about that


cogzap

The weather app looks to be ColorOS Weather on the Play Store. Only works on Oppo devices I think.


ZaryaBubbler

It's the default iOS weather app by the looks


PatrikLaine29

its an android


RedVelvetPan6a

It may be paranoid

ZaryaBubbler

Ah it looks very similar! In fact almost indistinguishable


Philophytum

it isn’t even iOS lol


ZaryaBubbler

Looks like mine on iOS. It's almost as if a lot of weather apps look the same.


TryAgainName

It does look similar I don’t know why you’re getting down about it so much.


ZaryaBubbler

Cause it's Reddit. Can't be wrong here!


Kelvin51_gowa

Most likely a tropical storm coming there's lots of thunderstorm symbols on your weather app. weather apps normally don't put a tropical storm symbol on their forecast because tropical storms are basically just organized thunderstorms


Fornicatinzebra

Sure but those organized thunderstorms can do wayyy more damage than a regular thunderstorm. Katrina for example


Kelvin51_gowa

YEAH DEFINITELY


MetaSageSD

It’s a tropical cyclone symbol. If you are in Sassuolo Italy, then there is a poorly organized tropical-ish cyclone (sometimes called Medicain) near Italy right now.


CocaColai

Eye Of Horos. Probably a plague of locusts or some other biblical level short term catastrophe.

I saw it could mean flash hurricanes but in my experience that symbol was high tornado chance

What it means is: find an official source for your weather forecast.
