Trying to provide some timing to storm initiation this afternoon and their severe potential as they move west to east across the region. Starting Thursday morning and continuing through next week, the potential for flooding will increase in an area spanning the mountain foothills burn scars where fires have reduced vegetation, the Interstate 25 corridor, and the eastern plains. Later this week, the high temperatures in Denver are expected to decrease, with a high of 61 degrees on Thursday, forecasters said. Denver residents in the afternoon likely will see rain showers intensifying Wednesday evening with thunder, hail, and wind gusting at speeds up to 21 miles per hour, forecasters said.Įast of Denver across north-central and northeast Colorado, severe hazards are possible Wednesday evening, meteorologists said, anticipating large hail, lightning and a few tornadoes, bringing night wind gusting at speeds up to 60 mph. The high temperature in metro Denver on Wednesday will be 74 degrees under mostly cloudy skies and a turn to turbulence will begin around 2 p.m., weather service forecasters said. Storms rolling off the mountains and foothills onto Colorado’s Front Range high plains Wednesday afternoon will bring severe weather including hail, strong winds that can cause damage, lightning, and possible tornadoes, according to the National Weather Service. Nurses and midwives, and nursing and midwifery students, are encouraged to access the Nursing and Midwifery Health Program Victoria (NMHPV) for support to protect your own health and wellbeing.Digital Replica Edition Home Page Close Menu Members are advised to be prepared for potential added pressures on the health system, coming off the back of two+ years of pandemic conditions having stretched resources. People at risk during grass pollen season are encouraged to download the VicEmergency app (from Google Play or the App Store ) and set up a watch zone. The forecasts estimate risk for three days in advance and provide a low (green), moderate (orange) or high (red) risk forecast across the nine Victorian weather districts. The Epidemic Thunderstorm Asthma Risk Forecasting System will operate until 31 December 2022, issuing twice-daily risk forecasts. In anticipation, the Andrews Labor Government re-launched its thunderstorm asthma monitoring, prediction and alert system for 2022 to ensure Victorians are notified of high-risk events this pollen season. ‘It therefore makes sense that anyone who has had a severe respiratory illness this year is at a higher risk when it comes to suffering from thunderstorm asthma, even if they have never had traditional asthma before.’ 2022 could rival 2016 epidemicĪssociate Professor Suphioglu also said that 2022 is shaping up to be a ‘perfect storm’ for thunderstorm asthma, with high pollen counts, stormy weather and humidity expected from the start of November. ‘In researching long COVID, health officials have collected anecdotal evidence that common symptoms being reported – including breathlessness, wheezing and a tight chest – are textbook asthma symptoms,’ said Associate Professor Suphioglu. This makes them potentially more vulnerable to thunderstorm asthma, even if they’ve never before experienced traditional asthma. A Deakin University environmental allergist has warned that Victorians who experienced COVID-19 may have increased susceptibility to thunderstorm asthma.Īssociate Professor Cenk Suphioglu, who is director of Deakin’s AIRwatch pollen counting and forecasting facility, noted that COVID-19, as well as influenza and pneumonia, leave people’s airways less able to combat asthma.
