A quick note before we get into things this week:
I’m dealing with COVID right now and don’t have the energy to put together this week’s usual roundup or podcast. I’m not sure yet whether I’ll be back to full strength by next Saturday either, so there may not be a new post next week. Rather than skip entirely, I wanted to leave you with the essentials below; severe weather and tornado preparedness, heat safety, and your NOAA Weather Radio reminder. The science links will return as soon as I’m able.
Take care of yourselves out there, especially with the dangerous heat. I’ll be back when I’m back.
SEVERE WEATHER AND TORNADO SAFETY AND PREPAREDNESS
THE INVISIBLE STORM
NOAA WEATHER RADIO
Here’s your weekly reminder to check your NOAA weather radio’s batteries, programming, settings, and reception. NOAA has a comprehensive page on NOAA weather radio…a feature of the National weather Service in the USA that has saved countless lives.
US DROUGHT MONITOR
- NOAA’s US Drought Monitor website has the full regional details.
- The latest daily fire weather outlooks can be found at the Storm Prediction Center’s website.
CITIZEN SCIENCE
Citizen science lets everyday people actively shape real research by sharing observations and data. Join now to make a tangible impact, discover new insights, and become part of a global community driving scientific breakthroughs!
- The CoCoRaHS project invites weather enthusiasts to become citizen scientists by submitting daily precipitation reports that support forecasting and climate research even on dry days.
- Another path into becoming a citizen scientist is using the free mPING app! Your weather reports go directly to the National Severe Storms Laboratory in Norman, Oklahoma!
That’s a wrap for this week! Thanks for stopping by! See you next Saturday!
