02-04-2023-1801 - blimp

The Spirit of Goodyear, one of the iconic Goodyear Blimps

A blimp, or non-rigid airship, is an airship (dirigible)[1] without an internal structural framework or a keel. Unlike semi-rigid and rigid airships (e.g. Zeppelins), blimps rely on the pressure of the lifting gas (usually helium, rather than hydrogen) inside the envelope and the strength of the envelope itself to maintain their shape.

02-04-2023-1109 - DRAFT (WEATHER, WIND CHILL, NEST USA NAC DOM 2023)

Weather Alerts-Bangor, ME



Wind Chill Warning

Until Sat 7 pm EST
1 of 3

Action Recommended
Make preparations per the instructions

Issued By
Caribou - ME, US, National Weather Service

Affected Area
Portions of Central Highlands, Coastal DownEast, Far Eastern, Interior DownEast, and Penobscot Valley Maine

Description
...WIND CHILL WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 PM EST THIS EVENING... WHAT...Dangerously cold wind chills expected. Wind chills as low as 50 below zero. WHERE...Portions of Central Highlands, Coastal DownEast, Far Eastern, Interior DownEast, and Penobscot Valley Maine WHEN...Until 7 PM EST this evening. IMPACTS...The dangerously cold wind chills could cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as 5 minutes. Strong wind gusts may lead to isolated to scattered power outages. ADDITIONAL DETAILS...In addition to low wind chills, patchy blowing snow could cause whiteout conditions, particularly across open areas exposed to northwest winds. Blowing and drifting snow could make travel very difficult. If you must travel have a winter survival kit and if you get stranded, stay in your vehicle. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... A Wind Chill Warning means the combination of very cold air and the wind will create dangerously low wind chill values. Frostbite can occur quickly and even hypothermia or death if precautions are not taken. Keep pets indoors as much as possible.


Heavy Freezing Spray Warning

Until Sat 1 pm EST
2 of 3

Action Recommended
Avoid the subject event as per the instructions

Issued By
Portland - ME, US, National Weather Service

Affected Area
Coastal Waters from Stonington, ME to Port Clyde, ME out 25 NM, Penobscot Bay, Coastal Waters from Port Clyde, ME to Cape Elizabeth, ME out 25 NM and Coastal Waters from Cape Elizabeth, ME to Merrimack River, MA out 25 NM

Description
...GALE WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 1 PM EST THIS AFTERNOON... ...HEAVY FREEZING SPRAY WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 1 PM EST THIS AFTERNOON... WHAT...For the Gale Warning, northwest winds 25 to 35 kt with gusts up to 50 kt and seas 5 to 8 ft. For the Heavy Freezing Spray Warning, heavy freezing spray at a rate of 2 cm per hour or greater may rapidly accumulate on vessels. WHERE...Coastal Waters from Stonington, ME to Port Clyde, ME out 25 NM, Penobscot Bay, Coastal Waters from Port Clyde, ME to Cape Elizabeth, ME out 25 NM and Coastal Waters from Cape Elizabeth, ME to Merrimack River, MA out 25 NM. WHEN...Until 1 PM EST this afternoon. IMPACTS...Operating a vessel in heavy freezing spray is hazardous. Freezing spray may render mechanical and electronic components inoperative. Rapid ice accretion on decks and superstructures may result in a catastrophic loss of stability. Strong winds will cause hazardous seas which could capsize or damage vessels and reduce visibility. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Mariners should prepare for dangerous accumulation of ice on their vessel. If possible, remain in port, avoid the warning area or conduct mitigation. During freezing spray conditions the U.S. Coast Guard advises that you ensure all lifesaving equipment remains free of ice. Mariners should alter plans to avoid these hazardous conditions. Remain in port, seek safe harbor, alter course, and/or secure the vessel for severe conditions.
