Greetings to everyone! I hope this weeks post finds all of you healthy and doing well. We’ll continue sharing severe weather preparedness information this week with a infographic on the difference between a watch and a warning. There are many other interesting topics to cover this week, so let’s get started.
- The James Webb telescope has just begun what will be a spectacular career…and it’s first clear image is nothing short of amazing.
- A very cool read about a cool topic…literally…ice on the planet Mercury.
- Is public health security as important to a nation as a standing army? Absolutely!
- We could use some good news and this fits the bill. “NOAA’s GOES-T reaches geostationary orbit, now designated GOES-18.” This will be a fantastic new satellite for monitoring a vast array of weather related conditions and hazards for the USA.
- In addition to natural variability, climate change has certainly played a part in Antarctic sea ice reaching the lowest minimum extent since records began 43 years ago.
- Mark your calendars. World Meteorological Day is 23 March 2022. This year’s highlight will be the critical role of early warning systems to help communities adapt to extreme weather and climate change.
- Here’s some very important information on how to receive potentially life saving severe weather alerts from the National Weather Service on your cell phone. Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) may save your life. Contrary to popular opinions, you can get warnings directly from the National Weather Service on your mobile device.
- In case you missed it, the latest US Drought Monitor has a bleak picture for the current state of dry conditions in the USA with over 51% of the country experiencing some degree of drought conditions.
SEVERE WEATHER SAFETY
Please keep in mind that ONLY your local National Weather Service office, NOAA Weather Radio, or reliable broadcast media are the BEST sources of important, timely, and potentially life-saving, information on winter storm watches, warnings, and other related weather advisories! None of the links on this website should be used for life-&-death decisions or the protection of property!
That’s a wrap for this post! Thanks to everyone for stopping by. A big ‘Thank You’ to my followers in social media. If you’re on Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, or Facebook, let’s connect! As for the COVID-19 pandemic, stay safe, stay positive, and test negative!
