The Importance of Volunteer Weather Observations
Cheap jordans America experiences more severe weather than any nation on Earth. New technology (satellites, Doppler, computer simulations) are impressive, but there’s no substitute for ground truth; knowing what is happening now the current weather. Airport observations are good and reliable, but the National Weather Service still relies on a network of 11,000 NOAA NCDC COOP volunteer observers who monitor weather in their yards every day.

So You’re Telling Me I Have a Chance? With all credit to „Dumb and Dumber“, there’s at least a chance that T storms may drop locally heavy rain Wednesday into Friday. The best chance of significant rain, according to NOAA GFS FV3 will come across parts of central and southwestern Minnesota, where some 1″ amounts are predicted. We’ll see. I suspect we’ll see highly variable amounts some farms will get a nice watering while others (a few miles away) see little or nothing. Such is the case with summer convection.
Flirting with 90F? I wouldn’t be one bit surprised to see MSP highs hitting 90 degrees for the first time in 2018 as early as Saturday; again Monday and Tuesday of next week. ECMWF for the Twin Cities: WeatherBell.

cheap jordans shoes How cheap jordans for sale Volcanologists Predicted Kilauea’s Explosive Eruption. It’s been a testing ground for monitoring equipment, and not only are new techniques developed there, but the network of equipment has been expanding for decades.“ The scientists at HVO has been very on point for this ongoing, slow boil eruption. As the geoscientist (and former WIRED blogger) Erik Klemetti wrote in his blog at Discover, months ago the HVO scientists predicted vents opening in the East Rift zone, farther away from the summit than they usually appear, based on inflation under an area called Pu’u O’o. They predicted, accurately, that the development Leilani Estates was in danger, and Tuesday night USGS classified Kilauea as a code red eruption risk.“ cheap jordans shoes
As Cities Sprawl, More Texans Are Exposed to Tornadoes. Census Bureau. For Fox, this means the tornadoes that he’s spent his whole career tracking can destroy more lives than ever before. Some suburbs around Dallas and Fort Worth have doubled in size over the past 20 years. Others have tripled. To accommodate additional residents, new housing developments and businesses have sprung up in multiple cities. As a result, the recipe for disaster that Fox fears has already begun, as tornadoes have struck densely populated communities that simply didn’t exist a few years before.“

Some of our earliest presidents also were avid weather observers. Thomas Jefferson bought his first thermometer while writing the Declaration of Independence, and purchased his first barometer a few days following the signing of the document. Jefferson maintained an almost unbroken record of weather observations until 1816. George Washington also took regular observations; the last weather entry in his diary was made the day before he died. During the early and mid 1800’s, weather observation networks began to grow and expand across the United States. The Surgeon General of the Army issued a directive to his Army surgeons in 1818 to record the weather and everything of importance relating to the medical topography of his station, the climate, and diseases prevalent in the vicinity.

cheap nike shoes For Emergencies, Hope Isn’t a Plan. Some very good advice from the Minnesota Department of Public Safety; here’s an excerpt of a post: „None of us can see the future, so it’s impossible to know if and when an emergency will occur. But simply hoping a disaster won’t happen won’t help you survive and recover when it does. cheap jordans in china Hope is good, but it’s not a plan. So when something happens like the April 26 fire at the cheap air jordan Husky Refinery in Superior, Wisconsin, you need to be ready. There are two refineries in the Twin Cities area one in St. Paul Park, and another on the border of Rosemount and Inver Grove Heights. Minnesota is also home to two nuclear generating plants as well as many other types of facilities that use hazardous materials. So if you live near one, you need to have an emergency plan. The people of Superior didn’t know when they left for school and work that morning that they would have to evacuate their homes before the end of the day. But it’s safe to say that those who had emergency kits packed, a family emergency communications plan in place, and who knew where to take temporary shelter had an easier time of it. Put simply, you can’t make those kinds of decisions when you have cheap nike shoes minutes to evacuate your home.“ cheap nike shoes
cheap air jordan NOAA GOES 17 Shares First Light Imagery from Geostationary Lightning Mapper. The mapper observes lightning in the Western Hemisphere, giving forecasters an indication of when a storm is forming, intensifying and becoming more dangerous. Rapid increases of lightning are a signal that a storm may strengthen quickly and could produce severe weather. During heavy rain, GLM data can show when thunderstorms are stalled or if they are gathering strength. When combined with radar and other satellite data, GLM data will help forecasters anticipate severe weather and issue flood and flash flood warnings sooner.“ cheap air jordan

Sea level rise threatens to wipe out swaths of the Bay’s densely populated coastlines, and a new study out today in Science Advances paints an even more dire scenario: The coastal land is also sinking, making a rising sea that much more precarious. Considering sea level rise alone, models show that, on the low end, 20 square miles could be inundated by 2100. But factor in subsiding land and that estimate jumps to almost 50 square miles. The high end? 165 square miles lost. The problem is a geological phenomenon called subsidence. Different kinds of land sink at different rates. Take, for instance, Treasure Island, which resides between San Francisco and Oakland.“ cheap jordans free shipping

What Happens to the Plastic We Throw Out. Rainwaterushers mismanaged waste from land into local waterways, which feed into larger tributaries and rivers, which in turn empty into oceans. In this way, plastic from far inland can travel many miles to the coastline. Polluted rivers are pumping the world’s plastic into the oceans bringing a significant portion of the estimated 9 million tons of plastic that end up in the ocean annually. That corresponds to five grocery bags stuffed with plastic trash for every foot of coastline.“

The Quest for the Next Billion Dollar Color. Modern computers can display about 16.8 million of them, far more than people can see or printers can reproduce. To transform a digital cheap jordans shoes or imagined color into something tangible requires a pigment. „Yes, you have this fabulous blue,“ says Laurie Pressman, vice president of the Pantone Color Institute, which assists companies with color strategies for branding or products. „But wait, can I actually create the blue in velvet, silk, cotton, rayon, or coated paper stock? „It’s not just the color,“ she adds. „It’s the chemical composition of the color. And can that composition actually be realized in the material I’m going to apply it to?.“.
