Greetings to all and thanks for stopping by. March is here and that means big weather changes. Tornado safety information will be a focal point amongst others this week. As usual, there are several science reads along with our weekly US Drought Monitor. So, let’s get started.
- NASA’s Hubble telescope continues to capture spectacular images that help us increase our knowledge of our universe.
- The night sky as we know it hasn’t always been as clear as we see it. Read about an event in the distant passed that would have dimmed our view of the stars.
- You don’t have to have an advanced degree in science to make valuable contributions to any number of fields of science…including astronomy.
- Fortunately for Americans, trust in the scientific community is increasing, especially since it involves topics that are directly connected to your health.
- While on the topic of health, this is a concerning read on microplastics and your health.
- In case you missed it, NOAA and the National Weather Service are in the crosshairs of the latest round of nefarious mass firings…and it’s only going to get worse as we enter the peak of the annual severe weather and tornado activity.
- As many of us move our clocks one hour forward for Daylight Saving Time, remember to check your NOAA weather radio and its batteries. NOAA has a comprehensive page on NOAA weather radio…a feature of the National weather Service in the USA that has saved countless lives.
- Here’s the latest update on the US Drought Monitor. Drought conditions have largely held steady for the central and northern plains and the southeastern states of the contiguous USA. From southern Texas to southern California, extreme to exceptional drought conditions have continued to worsen during the past week. The latest fire weather outlooks can be found at the Storm Prediction Center website where they are updated daily.
