Environment and Infrastructure in Monroe County, Indiana
How can a community's environment create well-being? It has to do with whether streets are designed to be safe and enjoyable for those who are walking or biking. It is about the air and water being safe to breathe and drink. It is about having infrastructure like broadband internet to connect people to opportunities. It has to do with the way places and conditions are designed to promote the health and well-being of its residents. It is also about whether there are structures and policies in place, historical or current, that means that people in some neighborhoods may not have a fair chance to thrive.
How often does dangerous air pollution affect Monroe County, Indiana?
What this measures: percent of days with levels of PM2.5 pollution above regulatory standard. PM2.5 pollution is air pollution made of particles less than 2.5 micrometers in width. Sources of PM2.5 pollution include fuel-burning vehicles and power plants. Forest fires also produce PM2.5 pollution.
Why this matters: This type of pollution is extremely dangerous. PM2.5 particles are so small that they can travel deep into the lungs and even the bloodstream. It raises the risk of health conditions like heart attacks, asthma, allergies, and lung infections. Older adults, infants, pregnant women, and those with pre-existing health conditions are especially at risk of experiencing health problems from air pollution.
What this relates to: Health.
Data source: CDC, National Environment Public Health Tracking Network. The data is based on a combination of measured and modeled estimates, which give a fuller picture of pollution levels than monitors only. More information on regulatory standards for particulate pollution can be found on the EPA.
How walkable is Monroe County, Indiana?
What this measures: How walkable a community is.
Why this matters: Walkability tells us how well the design of a city supports walking and other physical activity. People living in areas with high walkability are more likely to be active in how they get around. Walkable neighborhoods tend to have lower rates of diabetes and obesity than less walkable areas.
What this relates to: Green space, air quality, health.
Data source: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.


Air is all around us, we need it to live, and when it becomes polluted it affects everyone.
Wintertime air quality in Canterbury’s towns and cities is poor at times. 80-90 % of the pollution comes from home heating. The problem is made worse by Canterbury’s geography and frosty, calm winter climate, which create temperature inversions – a layer of warm air traps the smog underneath. The way to improve air quality in Canterbury towns is to move towards cleaner methods of keeping our homes warm.

Motorists were advised to pack a shovel, food, water and de-icer in their cars before travelling on Friday as snow, sleet and ice hit much of Britain.
Highways and rail bosses also had emergency equipment on standby as the cold, wet and windy snap continued – although there was the prospect of some cheering sun and drier weather at the weekend.
There were Met Office amber weather warnings (the second-highest level) as snow settled in southern and central Scotland, Wales, the Midlands and southern England. Snowploughs and gritters were out in some areas of Scotland early on Friday to keep roads open.
Thirty-three flood alerts, mainly in the south-west, were in place in England.
The Highways Agency said drivers should plan ahead before setting out, check the forecast and road conditions, leave extra time if travel conditions were poor or delay their journeys if the weather becomes severe. A spokesman added: "They are also advised to be prepared and carry warm clothing and an emergency pack, which includes food and water, boots, de-icer, a torch, and a shovel in case of snow."
The Highways Agency said 500 state-of-the-art winter vehicles had been put on standby plus enough salt to deal with severe conditions.
Colder than average temperatures will range between 3C and 6C (37F to 43F) on Friday, but overnight there will be widespread frosts with temperatures plunging below freezing, forecasters said.
London has so far escaped the worst of the wintry weather but Transport for London said it had more than 100,000 tonnes of salt to keep roads clear, with a fleet of 40 gritters, along with gritting quad bikes, flat bed trucks and teams of grit layers. London Underground and London Rail also have winter weather plans in place.


JACKSON, Miss. (WTVA) - The National Weather Service now says 43 tornadoes touched down in Mississippi on April 18, making it the second worst tornado outbreak in the state's history.
A survey of storm damage on Friday revealed three more tornadoes — two in northeast Noxubee County and one in southern Lowndes County.
An earlier survey found five tornadoes in Winston County and one that started in Winston County and ended in Noxubee County.
However, most of the tornadoes on that Thursday were in the central part of the state.
Meteorologists say they are still not through evaluating storm damage.
They plan to visit Scott County on Monday to see if the statewide total is higher than 43.

THE MET OFFICE yesterday issued an Amber alert for much of the north – including Moray – with high winds expected to arrive by Friday.
A ‘Be Prepared’ warning of severe or hazardous weather has sparked precautions by the Scottish Government with travel expected to be disrupted during what is one of the busiest times of the year.
If the forecasts arrive as expected then conditions could bring disruption to the transport network with restrictions on road bridges and cancellations or amended timetables on ferry services and at airports.
The Scottish Government say that those planning to travel should take the conditions into account and check their operators’ websites for the latest information before they set-off on their journeys.
Transport Minister, Humza Yousaf said: “I have been at the National Traffic Control Centre this morning to get the latest on the conditions and we will be working with our partners across this week and the weekend to do all we can to help get people to where they want to be safely.
“Our National Traffic Control Centre will be operational across the period with our Multi Agency Response Team active on the days leading up to Christmas.
“Ferries are particularly susceptible to disruption due to high winds and we may also see some disruption to flights. Those planning to fly or use ferries this festive period should check with their operators for the latest information and consider the forecast as part of their plans.
“The ScotRail Alliance is also geared up for any inclement weather and information has been posted on its website detailing travel arrangements over the festive period and this will be updated as required. Additional staff will be brought in along with specialist equipment to deal with winter weather effects.
“Our operating companies will be out on the network to clear any debris from the trunk roads and to make sure that the risk of any flooding is minimised where possible. They will also be carrying out Winter treatments where required and you can see where they have been active on our gritter tracker.
“Traffic Scotland will have details of any trunk road incidents and the website and Twitter feed will be kept fully up to date with all of the real time information that drivers need to travel safely.”
The Met Office warning says: “A spell of very strong south to southwesterly winds is expected to develop on Friday.
“Gusts of 60 to 70 mph are likely quite widely, with westerly winds gusting to 80-90 mph likely across parts of western and northern Scotland later on Friday and overnight into Saturday. Winds will then moderate on Saturday morning.
“Be aware of the potential for some structural damage – this more likely across the northwest of the warning area – as well as disruption to power supplies and travel, with restrictions on bridges and disruption to ferries.”

The NY Times wants to know whether a dry, dusty spell in Australia is evidence of global warming. That Australia was prone to dryness and dust before the Dutch stumbled upon it doesn’t factor.
When the Guardian reported last year that snow was blanketing the Middle East, they didn’t ask whether this showed we were all in for global cooling.
Cooler heads of course know that neither event tells us much about our climate. Weather varies and history records the average of extremes. If the press reports unseasonable heat as warming and takes unseasonable cold in stride, it heads down the slippery slope from news to propaganda failing its readers, viewers and listeners.
A busy tropical storm season is sure to bolster the warming cry, while this year’s quiet tropical storm season has raised few eyebrows and is treated as just a stray point on the graph. Angela Merkel has frequently mentioned the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina as evidence of global warming, rather than evidence of the poor maintenance of New Orleans’ levees. Few recall that a century ago a hurricane struck not far from New Orleans and destroyed Galveston Texas. The tropics have always dissipated their energy through storms taking no notice of world opinion. Of course soon after writing the above we learn that a strong Typhoon in the Phillipines ” is clearly a manifestation of the consequences of global inaction in addressing the immediate impacts of creeping climate change,” or so said The Philippines’ chief climate negotiator Secretary Heherson Alvarez. How exactly Typhoon Ketsana learned of the IPCC prediction that the world will warm by 1.1 to 6.4 degrees by 2100 in time to intensify 100 years early remains unclear.
Is the world warming? Will any trend last? Is mankind responsible and can it do anything about it? These are serious questions. How can we trust the answers if government officials, left-wing environmentalists and the media go on misrepresenting normal weather events? Do they think we’ve never seen weather before? Do they think we’ll gladly pay their bills after they affront our common sense?

Watch how the LRC is right on schedule today
Goooooooood evening Weather 20/20-LRC-Enthusiasts,
The LRC is right on schedule. This post if for our paying and non-paying customers. It is only $300/year to become a full Weather 20/20 substack customer where we updated the long range outlooks with insights each week, or $50/month.
The results are shown below. You can’t make this up. This is the statement many of you have been saying for years. The part of the pattern that is cycling through now is directly related to 100-days ago and 50-days ago. And, in this cycle, incredibly it isn’t severe weather. In cycle 4 and 5 it likely will be, and that is in our severe weather prediction product. This part of the pattern will cycle through around March 20-25 and again May 10-15. The May version may be quite violent and we already have a level 4 out of 5 risk for that week.
Thank you for listening. Weather 20/20 & The LRC provides the difference in weather prediction. We just completed a severe weather outlook for 2023 and will be sharing some of this for our paying customers next week. Remember, our 100-day predictions are more accurate than the 7 or 10-day forecast on your app.

Lucknow (IANS) Most parts of Uttar Pradesh woke up to heavy rains on Thursday morning, while the weather office announced that more heavy showers were in store.
The present weather conditions would continue till the weekend and it would get sunny only after Sunday, according to the Met Department.
The rainfall, the Department said, has been triggered by a western disturbance over the Himalayas and a moisture feed from the Bay of Bengal.
The rains that started on Wednesday, are continuing in Lucknow, Ayodhya, Sultanpur, Rae Bareli, Amethi, Balrampur, Gonda, Bahraich, Shrawasti, Hardoi and Lakhimpur.
Intermittent rains will occur throughout the day in Ambedkarnagar, Lucknow, Sitapur, Gonda and Barabanki, the Department said.
Besides adding to the winter chill, the rains have disrupted normal life at many places as school going children have been stranded at many places.
The attendance in some schools has dropped, a teacher at a school here told IANS.
Vehicular traffic has also been hit and the speed of vehicles on major highways has slowed down.
More than a dozen trains were delayed including the Archana Express, Jan Sadharan Express, New Delhi-Jalpaiguri Express, Rajdhani Express and the Swatantrata Senani Express.
Meanwhile, four persons have been injured in rain-related incidents across the state, including an 11-year-old who was struck by lightning in Hardoi.


This Southern city's temperatures have been above 80 degrees since March
Key West has had 233 consecutive days of temperatures above 80 degrees since March so pack your bags and grab your copy of "A Farewell to Arms". We're headed to Florida.
While the rest of the South skipped fall and went straight into the worst part of winter, Key West, Fla., remained a sun-soaked paradise where sunscreen is still in heavy use.
CNN reports Key West experienced its longest streak of temperatures above 80 degrees in its records, which date all the way back to 1872. Prior to this weekend, the last time temperatures dropped below 80 degrees in the city was March 27, when it was a freezing 78 degrees.
If you're starting to resent Key West and its flip-flop wearing inhabitants, you might want to stop reading now because while the streak ended this weekend for this Florida city went temps dropped to the 70s, they're expected to return to above 80 by Thursday.

Freezing rain and frigid temperatures Saturday night and early Sunday morning left a slick sheen on the region's roads, creating dangerous driving conditions that led to several accidents, most of them minor.
The National Weather Service had issued a winter weather advisory for freezing rain through 7 a.m. Sunday morning for most of Western New York, and Mother Nature didn't disappoint. The accumulation of ice and slush was not significant, but it was enough to make roads slippery for drivers.
"That's been the main weather so far, ice roads this morning," Steve Welch, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Buffalo, said late Sunday morning. "There are some slick spots still out there, especially on side roads, from the freezing rain earlier this morning and rain from overnight that froze on the ground once the temperature dropped below freezing earlier."
That played out on streets across the region. In Amherst, a police dispatcher said officers were “inundated” with calls “town-wide” about car accidents, mostly “cars off the road in the ditches” and fender-benders.
University at Buffalo police also issued a warning about “very icy road conditions on campus and on roads leading to campus,” warning against any unnecessary travel on either the North or South campuses. “Please use caution when walking on campus as well,” said the warning, posted on the university web site and on Twitter.
The situation was similar in Cheektowaga, with “icy roads and a lot of wrecks,” a town dispatcher said. Galleria Drive, around the Walden Galleria mall, was particularly problematic, he said, but so were many other roads in the town. And police were dealing with many cases of cars sliding off the highways and into ditches..
“The state roads are pretty good. They’re getting better,” he said. But “the town roads are pretty bad. They didn’t get out quick enough.”
Hamburg police “had a few fender-benders,” but “nothing major,” according to a dispatcher, despite slippery conditions on the roads. “They’ve been slick all morning, the entire town, everywhere,” the officer said.
And a West Seneca dispatcher called it a “miracle” that the town wasn’t dealing with any accidents Sunday, as road conditions were improving steadily all morning. “That’s all we’ve been doing for the last several days,” he said.
The city of Lackawanna also had a quiet morning, with no accidents, a police official said. “All of our plow trucks are out there salting, and we haven’t had any complaints,” she said.
Similarly, plows “were out early this morning” in the town of Lancaster, and the “salt is working fine,” a police dispatcher there said. “Everything is pretty quiet,” she added.
Both the city and town of Tonawanda reported no accidents or other problems Sunday morning. “Everything’s going good,” a city dispatcher said. “Our [Department of Public Works] is out and they’re salting, and I haven’t had any accident calls. They’re just doing the whole city.”
Salt trucks also were already out in Kenmore. “The road conditions are getting better,” a dispatcher in Orchard Park said. “The salt trucks have been out and taking care of the streets for us.”
The more rural parts of the Southtowns also were faring better for a change. In East Aurora, roads were slick,but there were “no accidents holding at this time,” a police dispatcher said Sunday morning. Similarly, road conditions in the town of Eden are “just wet here,” according to a dispatcher.
“It’s quiet,” an Evans police dispatcher said. “We have not had any accidents.”
The cold front that passed through Western New York overnight also brought chillier air. Temperatures peaked at about 34 degrees briefly overnight, at about 2 a.m., but began dropping steadily after that, on their way to expected highs in the upper teens by late afternoon or early evening. Welch, of the National Weather Service, said the clouds should clear up and allow some sunshine later in the day.
For Monday, he said, there's a chance of snow showers early in the day, and then lake-effect snow will develop over the Southern Tier, with a northwest wind. That band will shift to the north, moving over most of Erie County over the course of the day, but it won't generate more than an inch anywhere because it's not expected to remain in place, Welch said.
"It's not going to be really steady," he said. "It's going to be moving a decent amount most of the day."
For Tuesday, meanwhile, Welch said the temperature should hit a "balmy" 33 degrees, with mostly sunny skies and breezy conditions.


While not as high as the Himalayas or Karakoram, the Sulaiman range boast some of the most complex tectonic structures in the world. As India moved northward, it began to rotate in a counter-clockwise direction, wrenching the northwestern part of the Indian plate backwards into part of the Eurasian plate. The countervailing forces put the rocks of the Sulaiman range in a unique compressional vice, causing many of its faults to curve and stretch in convoluted ways.
The Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) instrument on NASA’s Terra satellite captured a scene on April 24, 2011, that highlights some of this tectonic complexity. Read more

Dust and sand storms are not unusual in North Africa and western Asia; in fact, they are a regular part of the region’s rhythm and observed often by satellites. But familiarity does not make them any less extraordinary.
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite captured this image at 11:25 a.m. local time (0825 Universal Time) on July 7, 2014. A thick plume of dust was blowing out from the dry interior of Sudan and across hundreds of kilometers of the Red Sea, with smaller plumes also visible over Saudi Arabia and Eritrea. Prevailing northwest winds over the water blew the plumes to the southeast. Read more

A combination of lightning and dry forests fueled numerous wildfires in Canada’s Northwest Territories in July 2014. The fires, burning in Canada’s boreal zone, are producing dense smoke. As of July 8, at least 164 blazes had charred more than 425,172 hectares (1,642 square miles), according to the Canadian government. The fires destroyed one home, forced hundreds of people to evacuate, and sent smoke drifting as far south as the continental United States.

On June 16, 2014, a tornadic thunderstorm system moved across portions of northeast Nebraska, producing 5 tornadoes. Four of the tornadoes were rated as EF-4 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale, meaning that they were violent tornadoes with winds between 166 and 200 miles per hour. One EF-4 tornado spun directly through Pilger, Nebraska, a small town of 350 people, leveling much of the town.
The Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) instrument aboard NASA’s Terra satellite captured the top image of northeast Nebraska on June 21, 2014. Two of the EF-4 tornado tracks are visible in the false-color image (near-infrared, red, green). The tracks are tan paths of bare ground across plant-covered fields, which are red.

The Environment Agency has 9 Flood Warnings and 24 Flood Alerts in place in the Anglia region.
2012 has already been confirmed as the wettest on record and more rain is forecast over the weekend.
Check the Environment Agency website for the latest flooding information.
As more rain falls across the Anglia region on Friday and with more forecast over the weekend there remain a number of Flood Warnings in force.
At 9.30 am on Friday there were 9 Flood Warnings and 29 Flood Alerts in place in the Eastern Counties. Most of the Flood Warnings are along the River Nene in Northamptonshire and Cambridgeshire.
It comes as 2012 was confirmed as the wettest in more than a century of weather records.
More details of the Flood Warnings are on the Environment Agency website.
Department stores across the East have said sales this Christmas have been the best ever with takings up considerably despite the economic downturn.
It was a gloomy start to December for retailers, but the last week has provided a much-needed boost before what experts say will be an 'ongoing endurance test' in 2013.
The rain keeps falling in December and 2012 looks set to be wettest since records began in East Anglia more than a century ago. The weather conditions continue to cause flooding in parts of the region with rivers overflowing and roads under water.
To make matters worse the Environment Agency, based in Peterborough, says more rain is on its way.
At 5pm on Thursday 27 December there were 9 Flood Warnings and 31 Flood Alerts in force across the Anglia region. The Environment Agency website has further details.
Both the A1101 Wash Road at Welney in Norfolk and the A1123 Earith Causeway in Cambrideshire are closed due to flooding.
According to the Environment Agency there is more than 4 foot of water (128 cm) on the road in Welney.
The water is nearly a foot deep (28 cm) at Earith. Diversions are in place on both routes.
With further rain forecast in the Anglia region it's likely there will be further problems with flooding into the New Year.Read the full story ›
Thousands of bargain hunters have descended on the region's shopping malls and high streets for the post-Christmas sales. Experts say sales records are being smashed as shoppers look to make big savings.
It was a gloomy outlook for retailers throughout December with many people waiting for the last weekend before Christmas to do their shopping.
The British Retail Consortium says Christmas trading hasn't been exceptional but when sales figures come out in January they're predicted to show a modest rise compared to last year.
With many rivers running high, a number of Flood Warnings issued by the Environment Agency remain in force in the Anglia region.Read the full story ›
The Environment Agency still has 13 Flood Warnings and 45 Flood Alerts in force across the Anglia region as the wet weather continues over the Christmas period.
Today's rain will clear the east of the Anglia region during the early afternoon although more rain is expected by tomorrow morning.

A dramatic supermoon is set to accompany this year's Perseid meteor shower, one of the most anticipated events on the skywatcher's calendar.
Given a dark, clear sky in a normal year, it is common to see more than 100 of the meteors an hour during the second week in August. But this year the Perseids have a bright shining rival. On Sunday, two days before the meteor shower reaches its peak, the moon will become full.
Coincidentally, it will also have reached the point in its orbit that is closest to the Earth, known as perigee. The supermoon will be up to 14% bigger and 30% brighter than other full moons during the year.
On one level, this is bad news, according to Dr Bill Cooke from Nasa's meteoroid environment office. "Lunar glare wipes out the black, velvety backdrop required to see faint meteors, and sharply reduces counts."
But all is not lost. The debris stream left by comet Swift-Tuttle, which produces the Perseids, is wide, so the shooting stars could make an appearance well before the moon becomes full. Cooke added that the Perseids were also "rich in fireballs as bright as Jupiter or Venus" that would remain visible despite the moon's glare.
A study conducted by his team since 2008 has shown the Perseids to be the undisputed "fireball champion" of meteor showers. "We see more fireballs from Swift-Tuttle than any other parent comet."
Tony Markham, director of the Society for Popular Astronomy's meteor section, also urged skywatchers to stay optimistic.
"The Perseids are rich in bright meteors and so many Perseids will still be seen despite the moonlit sky background," he wrote on the SPA's website. "You can minimise the effect of the moonlight by observing with your back to the moon – possibly viewing the Cassiopeia/Cepheus/Ursa Minor area. If possible, keep the moon hidden behind trees or a nearby building."
He pointed out that at this time of year the moon is relatively close to the horizon, leaving much of the sky dark. Markham also suggested looking at an area of sky 20 to 30 degrees away from the Perseid radiant – the spot near the constellation of Perseus that the meteors appear to fly out from.
Every 133 years, comet Swift-Tuttle swings through the inner solar system, leaving behind a trail of dust. When the Earth passes through, the dust cloud particles hit the atmosphere at 140,000mph and burn up in streaking flashes of light, creating the spectacle known as the Perseids.
The best time to see the meteors is between Saturday and Wednesday, with activity peaking on Tuesday. An unusually bright full supermoon was also seen on 12 July, and another is due to appear on 9 September. But the supermoon of Sunday promises to be the most dramatic, since this is when the moon will be at its closest point to the Earth all year.
At perigee, the moon is around 31,000 miles closer than when it is furthest away from the Earth. Supermoons occur relatively often, every 13 months and 18 days, but are not always noticed because of clouds or poor weather.


Eight months of rain will fall on North and South Carolina in three days, forecasters have warned, as Hurricane Florence crawls towards the east coast of the United States.
Millions of people are in the path of the Category 1 storm which on Thursday evening was moving west at only 6 mph (9 km/h).
The hurricane’s sheer size means it could batter the US East Coast with hurricane-force winds for nearly a full day, according to weather forecasters. Despite its unpredictable path, it was forecast to make landfall near Cape Fear, North Carolina, at midday on Friday.
North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper told a news conference that the “historic” hurricane would unleash rains and floods that would inundate almost the entire state in several feet of water, Reuters reports.
Early on Friday, the downtown area of the city of New Bern, on the Trent and Neuse rivers near the North Carolina coast, was underwater as emergency crews conducted several rescues, according to reports on social media.
A gauge in the city of 30,000 people showed the Neuse River was recording 9.6 feet of inundation, the National Hurricane Centre (NHC) said.
At least 150,000 people were without power in North Carolina early on Friday with the brunt of the storm yet to come, according to utility companies. Millions were expected to lose power from the storm and restoration could take weeks.
Roads and intersections on North Carolina’s Outer Banks barrier islands were inundated.
Florence’s top winds were clocked on Thursday evening at 90 mph (150 km/h) as it churned in the Atlantic Ocean, down from a peak of 140 mph (224 km/h) earlier this week when it was classified as a Category 4 storm before being downgraded.
The storm’s centre was about 50 miles south of Morehead City at around 11 pm (03:00 GMT Friday).
About 10 million people could be affected by the storm and more than 1 million had been ordered to evacuate the coasts of the Carolinas and Virginia, jamming westbound roads and highways for miles.
At least 12,000 people had taken refuge in 126 emergency shelters, Cooper said, with more facilities being opened.
The NHC warned the threat of tornadoes was increasing as Florence neared shore and South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster said the heavy rain could trigger landslides in the west of his state.
NHC Director Ken Graham said on Facebook the storm surges could push in as far as 2 miles (3 km). Heavy rains were forecast to extend into the Appalachian Mountains, affecting parts of Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky and West Virginia.
Emergency declarations were in force in Georgia, South and North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia.
Despite pleas from officials, some residents ignored calls to evacuate.
Near the beach in Wilmington, a Waffle House restaurant, part of a chain with a reputation for staying open during disasters, had no plan to close, even if power was lost, and there were lines to get in on Thursday evening.
Will Epperson, a 36-year-old golf course assistant superintendent, said he and his wife had planned to ride out the storm at their home in Hampstead, North Carolina, but then reconsidered. Instead, they drove 150 miles (240 km) inland to his mother’s house in Durham.
“I’ve never been one to leave for a storm but this one kind of had me spooked,” Epperson said.

Recent rainfall probably won’t help Mississippi River levels, but why?
As harvest season powers on, concerns over water levels on the Mississippi River are growing. Experts in the Midwest are worried recent rainfall will not be as helpful as previously thought.
Dennis Todey is the Director of USDA’s Midwest Climate Hub. He tells Brownfield Ag News dry soil in the Mississippi River basin will take in most of the moisture long before it hits the River. USDA Meteorologist Brad Rippey was hopeful rainfall would help shipping conditions, but Todey says it will not be a quick fix. Dry conditions in the Eastern Corn Belt are largely to blame, since that region feeds the Ohio River, which is a major contributor to the Mississippi.


The Parker Solar Probe is ready to make its 11th close flyby of the sun during its quest to understand how our neighboring star works.
The plucky spacecraft, heavily shielded against the sun’s radiation and extreme heat, will dip to within 5.3 million miles (8.5 million kilometers) of the solar surface on Friday (Feb. 25). That’s about 14 times closer than the orbit of Mercury, our closest planet to the sun.
The exact time of the closest approach, known as perihelion, will be 10:36 a.m. EST (1536 GMT), according to a spokesperson at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, which oversees the mission.
Related: What’s inside the sun? A star tour from the inside out
At closest approach, the spacecraft will be flying at about 364,660 mph (586,860 kilometers kph); Parker Solar Probe has held the speed record for fastest spacecraft since 2018, a couple of months after its launch.
By the end of its mission, the spacecraft will be send home data from within just 3.83 million miles (6.16 million km) of the sun’s surface. Getting that close to the sun will allow scientists to continue making observations about the solar environment, particularly the atmosphere, which scientists call the corona. The incredibly hot corona is millions of degrees hotter than the surface, regardless of the scale of temperature used, and it’s not quite clear yet how this huge jump in temperatures happens.
Parker Solar Probe launched in August 2018 to study the sun’s outer atmosphere and includes four different instrument suites to learn more about how the corona works, and how it affects space weather near our planet.
Space weather can affect our planet in numerous ways, especially when coronal mass ejections of charged particles from our sun hit infrastructure such as power lines or satellites. These events, however, also can produce colorful displays high in up in our atmosphere called auroras.
While doing solar science, Parker is also performing flybys of other planets to pick up speed and to do some side science observations. An example includes visible-light pictures of Venus that the probe captured, released earlier in February. Over the mission, the probe will make a total of seven Venus flybys to use the planet’s gravity to adjust course; the next such flyby will occur in August 2023.


At 12:10 pm on September 1, the 24-hour countdown timer began ticking at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre spaceport in Sriharikota.
At the end of this countdown, Saturday at 11:50 am, India’s PSLV rocket in its XL configuration lifted-off carrying the world’s most populous nation’s maiden mission to study the sun. Named Aditya-L1, the craft will cover a distance of 1.5 million kilometres in space, during a span of approximately 120 days. The craft will be travelling to Lagrange Point 1 or L1, a vantage point from where it would have an unobstructed view of the sun.
To understand the science and applications of Aditya-L1, WION spoke to Prof Ramesh from the Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA). Notably, the IIA has contributed the Visible Emission Line Coronagraph payload for this mission and Prof Ramesh is the Principal Investigator of the same.
While this is a mission to study the sun, it would be travelling only 1 per cent if the Earth-Sun distance, unlike NASA’s Parker Solar Probe that has flown a few million miles in the vicinity of the Sun. The Earth-Sun distance is approximately 150 million kilometres.
The launch of Aditya-L1 comes barely 10 days after India soft-landed its Chandrayaan-3 craft (comprising a lander and rover) on the moon.
“Studies related to the Sun can be carried out from ground-based observatories, but they are limited by the day-night cycle. So, an agency would require multiple stations across the earth to study the sun continuously, but each of these observatories would offer their own data (based on the unique characteristics of the equipment). Also, the earth’s atmosphere and dust particles scatter the radiation coming in from the sun and affect the quality of the data” Prof Ramesh from the Indian Institute of Astrophysics told WION.
Explaining the exterior layers of the sun, he said that the sun’s Photosphere emitted the strongest light, the photosphere is then covered by the Chromosphere (which extends 1000s of kms) and finally there is the Corona (Sun’s outermost layer).
“The Corona emits light, but it is million times less intense than that of the Photosphere. Therefore, it is only during a solar eclipse(when moon covers the sun’s Photosphere by coming in the path between earth and Sun) that we are able to study the faint light from the Corona” he added.
However, eclipses happen only one or twice a year and the data from eclipses which last a few minutes would be insufficient to study transient changes.
On the Aditya-L1 craft, we have a device known as Visible Emission Line Coronagraph (VELC), which is capable of artificially blocking the light of the Photosphere and studying the light from the Corona.
“We are interested in studying the Corona owing to its dynamic nature and regular eruptions from the Corona(Coronal Mass Ejections), where charged particles from the sun travel at 3000km/sec speeds. At this speed, it can reach the earth in around 15hours, he explained.
Such phenomena can affect the electronics and solar panels of satellites orbiting the earth, it can also cause geomagnetic storms that can temporarily swell up earth’s atmosphere and drag satellites that are flying as low as 200km orbit. Such incidents can even known out high-tension power lines (as it happened in Quebec City Canada and In Zurich Airport).
From the L1 vantage point, around which the spacecraft will be circling, the VELC payload will be able to image the sun’s corona every single minute and help researchers understand the fast changes in Solar atmosphere.
Using a Polarimeter, we can also measure and predict which sun spots(dark regions with strong magnetic fields, where even light cannot enter) can erupt and lead to Coronal Mass ejections. in future, this could help us predict any danger to satellites around earth, assess which CMEs will reach earth and which won’t.
Notably, when such high-speed particles from the Sun reach the earth’s atmosphere, the upper layers of the atmosphere act as a barrier and divert the charged particles to earth’s poles, thereby causing the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) and Southern Lights (Aurora Australis), a dazzling display of light blue-green-yellow-red lights in the winter night skies near the earths north polar and south polar regions.


(NECN/CNN) - A major storm system has been spawning some very powerful tornadoes as it heads north. Central and eastern North Carolina have been hit hard all day, and several buildings were destroyed. There is no yet word on any injuries.
A Lowe's Home Improvement store in Sanford, North Carolina was demolished by a tornado that passed through Lee County. Employees told WRAL-TV they saw a "wall of churning debris and wind" and and that they herded customers to the back of the store. Despite the damage, witnesses say no one was seriously hurt.
Deadly storms have claimed at least 25 lives in two days, ravaging their way through the South early Saturday. Reports of more than 100 possible tornado touch downs are the cause of severe damage and destruction, as Alabama, Mississippi and Oklahoma have declared States of Emergency.
Correspondent Ninette Sosa has the latest on the wicked weather.


The severe thunderstorms that rolled through the Grand Valley on Monday caused flooding problems on local roadways prompting officials to take another look at stormwater management. Although the city already acknowledges problems with the storm drainage system on Orchard Mesa, they also discovered that several other areas had problems, as well as including parts of Pear Park and North Avenue.
Officials were forced to shut down all but one lane of traffic at Patterson Road and 15th Street due to flooding. Although the storm caused flooding, officials say it was a unique storm that we don't see too often. Some areas of the city received as much as 1.3 inches of rain, making it a one in 50 year event. The official rainfall in Grand Junction was .45 inches, a record for July 25th.
City officals say stormwater maintenance is very expensive so fixing these problems may not happen right away. However, the city is currently receiving bids on the Ranchmen's Ditch Project that will alleviate flooding issues from the airport to the Mesa Mall.
The storm did point out a positive. The $10 million dollar stormwater project in the downtown area in 2001 functioned extremely well.

WATCH ABOVE: The Monday, January 19, 2015 traffic report and weather forecast for Edmonton, Alberta and the surrounding area.
EDMONTON – Drivers in and around Edmonton are in for difficult road conditions Monday after freezing rain fell overnight. The rain started in northwestern Alberta late Sunday evening, moving southeast through the Capital Region early Monday morning.
“The next band of freezing drizzle followed by light snow will move in [Monday] evening. We could see around five centimetres of snow,” said weather specialist Mike Sobel, who said the snow could continue into Tuesday morning.
Some freezing drizzle moved through the #yeg region. Warnings in effect for Eastern Alberta. #yegwx @GlobalEdmonton pic.twitter苏州夜网/ljn91qXRLQ

Paved surfaces like highways, sidewalks and parking lots may be icy and slippery.
“Use extreme caution this morning,” said Daintre Christensen, traffic specialist on the Morning News.
“Freezing rain is one of the most difficult road conditions to navigate, namely because it creates road ice that is not easily distinguishable,” she said, adding that ice can be patchy and cause sudden road condition changes within a few kilometres.
WATCH: Preventing falls during winter running
“Take extra care along exit ramps and river crossing. Bridge decks are particularly susceptible to icing, and are treacherous to navigate,” she added.

Argumentative Essay in Global Warming
Is definitely Global warming a genuine threat? " Global warming is a increase in the standard temperature in the Earth's surfaceвЂќ (Global Increased temperatures Nasa. ) It has the effect of making the Earth's surface warmer compared as it was the prior years. This kind of effect is additionally referred to as the " green house effect. вЂќ Accordingly to Global Earth Science, " the global average temperature has increased regarding 0. six to 1. four degrees N (0. 4 to 0. 8 deg C) because the late 1800's and many professionals estimate that the average temperature will rise an extra 2 . your five to 10. 4 certifications F (1. 4 to five. 8 levels C) simply by 2100 in which, that level of maximize would be the most significant increase at any time recorded in history. First, Let me start off just how it works. The Constitutional Legal rights Foundation explained how the " greenhouse effectвЂќ works: " Radiation in the Sun in short wavelengths conveniently pass through the Earth's atmosphere and hit the surface, which reflects most of it back because longer wavelengthsвЂќ (Global Heating: What Will need to We Carry out About It? ). " Rather than go back into space, the much longer wavelengths will be absorbed by simply gases inside the atmosphere. вЂќ " The atmosphere shows back to the Earth's surface area a significant volume of the caught radiation, which becomes temperature. вЂќ
There are many possible factors behind global warming. However , for the past several years, NASA known " that a majority of of the factors behind global warming are man-made activities. вЂќ The " using of precious fuel is definitely the top list of man made activities that typically contribute to climatic change and this takes place in autos, in factories, and in electric power plants that offer energy to get houses and office buildingsвЂќ (Global Heating NASA). The burning of fossil fuels produces carbon dioxide, a chemical component that " slows the escape of warmth into spaceвЂќ (Global Increased temperatures Nasa).

How winter conditions could impact select NFL, college football games
This weekend a blast of winter will envelop the Central and Eastern parts of the country making for some very cold football games. Due to this I have expanded the coverage to include notable college games this weekend. With the NFL slate there are not any games that will be affected by the usual suspects of rain, wind or snow – however I am including a few games where the cold may have an impact only because the visiting team will be somewhat of a fish out of water. Lets dive in:
Saints @ Bengals (noon Sunday) – Temperatures in Cincinnati will be in the mid to low 40s for this game. I am only mentioning it due to the fact that as a southern dome team the Saints are not accustomed to playing in these conditions. However, the Saints seem to be such a well-oiled machine with a formidable ground game that the impact of temperatures will likely be negligible.
Falcons @ Browns (noon Sunday) - The temperature will be hovering in the upper 30s with the windchill right at 30 degrees for this game in Cleveland. Similar to the game I mentioned above the Falcons, like the Saints, are not accustomed to these conditions. However the fact that they are playing the Browns may help offset some of the detriment of the cold temperatures.
Dolphins @ Packers (3:25 PM Sunday) – This is the ultimate fish out of water game. The tundra of Lambeau will be living up to its name with game time temperatures in the mid to low 30s with a small chance of snow. Due to these conditions and the Dolphin’s talent level I believe the cold will have a real impact here. To Aaron Rodgers these conditions are likely downright refreshing, but for the Dolphins it will likely be quite a shock to the system. Look for the Dolphins to try to keep it on the ground as much as possible, especially with Osweiler under center.
I have highlighted too many games here to give individual breakdowns but below you will find a summary of the notable conditions so that you can make or adjust any wagers accordingly. Take note – wind will be an issue at many games on Saturday.
TCU @ West Virginia – Mid to low 30s. Slight chance of snow. Wind 14 MPH gusting to 25 MPH.
Ohio State @ Michigan State – Low 30s. Chance of snow early in the game. Wind 17 MPH gusting to 30 MPH.
Wisconsin @ Penn State – Mid 30s. Wind 15 MPH gusting to 40 MPH.
Baylor @ Iowa State – Temperature in the upper 20s with a windchill in the upper teens.
Virginia Tech @ Pitt – Mid 30s. Chance of snow. Wind 16 MPH gusting to 35 MPH.
Purdue @ Minnesota – Temperatures in the upper 20s with a chance of snow late.
Temple @ Houston – Low 50s with rain.
Florida State @ Notre Dame – Temperature in the mid 20s.
Texas @ Texas Tech – Mid 40s. Wind 14 to 20 MPH.
Clemson @ Boston College – Upper 30s. Wind 15 MPH gusting to 45 MPH.

ARANSAS PASS - High winds, heavy rain and a little bit of hail damaged trees and power poles, knocked metal buildings and caused collateral damage such as a gas leak in area counties.
A rural area off Farm-to-Market Road 1069 near Rockport was the hardest hit by the storm. Dozens of power poles toppled littering the roadway with downed electric lines.
"... Those huge telephone poles are snapped like toothpicks," County Judge Burt Mills said. "There are no injuries that we know of."
Residents also had property damage, Mills said. A barn blew down. Cars were moved around at a salvage yard and a nearby garage blew down, Mills said.
Technicians from AEP spent most of the day replacing power poles.
When the storm blew into Beeville about 10:30 p.m. Wednesday it hailed for about 10 minutes, according to County Judge David Silva's office.
Some areas of the county also got nearly one inch of rain. There were no reports of serious damage, county officials said.
JIM WELLS COUNTY
Heavy rainfall, more than an inch in some areas, and a pretty lightning show were the worst of the storm for the county, officials including Sheriff Oscar Lopez said.
County maintenance director Gavino Hernandez said the storm did not hit Kenedy County particularly hard. Several trees were downed and local rain gauges showed that the county got almost half an inch of much needed rain, he said.
There were no reports of damage in Kleberg County, according to Sheriff Ed Mata's office. Winds were measured at 48 miles per hour and the city got slightly more than half of an inch of rain.
SAN PATRICIO COUNTY
Most of the damage in the county was relatively minor, with downed tree limbs and power lines, according to county officials. The Catholic Church in Aransas Pass has roof damage, Police Chief Darrell Jones said. And a tent set up for the Aransas Pass Shrimporee on June 11-13 was damaged as well.
Ingleside lost several electric poles to high winds and the center of town was closed briefly Thursday after crews replacing downed poles hit a gas line, Ingleside Fire Chief Chad Champion said.
There also were reports of a tornado north of Sinton, but it blew through the brush and was not believed to have caused major damage, according to the San Patricio County Sheriff's Office.

While some will argue winter does not really start until the solstice, for those who go by the calendar, June 1 marks the beginning of the season.
Parts of drought-stricken central-west Queensland have received their best rain in three years.
People in the Top End have sweltered through one of the hottest wet seasons on record, and can now expect a warmer-than-usual dry season, a weather expert says.


The nearest severe thunderstorms today were forecast to be up in Kansas and Nebraska, too far north to chase considering we needed to be in Dallas (TX) by tomorrow evening. So instead we decided to chill today and head slowly eastwards to Weatherford (TX), where we'd planned to spend the night.
En-route we grabbed some lunch in Eastland (TX), and then chose to drive north on 16 and Highway 180 to visit Possum Kingdom State Park. Unfortunately by the time we'd arrived there were numerous non-severe thunderstorms in and around the vicinity, so we decided to ditch the idea and just head to Weatherford (TX). The one time when we didn't particularly want a thunderstorm nearby!
We arrived here early evening, checked-in to a hotel and chilled for the rest of the day, including sorting out our baggage ready for our flight home on Sunday morning. A nice line of intense thunderstorms passed through Weatherford (TX) during the evening, with very heavy rain, frequent lightning and strong winds, which was a nice treat!

n a world riddled with climate-change doomsday predictions, a small but growing number of scientists are saying the highly touted climate models predicting steadily increasing global temperature due to humans' carbon-dioxide emissions are wrong and that Earth could soon face something even more dire: global cooling.
One such climate scientist is Valentina Zharkova, an astrophysicist at Northumbria University in the United Kingdom. Zharkova and her team of researchers say that based on mathematical models of the Sun's magnetic activity, it's likely Earth will experience decreasing magnetic waves over a 33-year period beginning in 2021.
Zharkova is not alone. In 2017, researchers at the Physical Meteorological Observatory Davos, the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology, ETH Zurich, and the University of Bern published a model projecting a cooling period "in 50 to 100 years' time."

Udupi, June 06, 2023: According to the forecast of the Indian Meteorological Department, the storm was caused by a depression in the Arabian Sea, due to which the sea will be rough on the west coast of the state for the next four days, DC M. Kurmarao said in the announcement.
Due to the movement of the storm, there is a possibility of huge waves in the sea and there is a possibility of heavy rain. Therefore, fishermen are strictly prohibited from going to the sea for fishing during this period.
As a precautionary measure, the District Disaster Management Authority of the district administration has issued some instructions to the public of the district and they have been asked to follow them.
The public and tourists are warned not to stand near sea shore, dangerous electric pole, building, trees. People living in low-lying areas where there is a possibility of encroachment should be prepared to move to safer areas.
District and taluk level officials must be in the central position to prepare to deal with the calamity, the DC said in the announcement.
In case of need it has been instructed to contact the Control Room of the District Collector’s Office 24 hours a day through the following telephone numbers: 0820-2574802 or toll-free number 1077.
On Monday, there was a depression in the southwestern part of the Arabian Sea, which turned into a cyclone. By early morning today it is 920 km from Goa, 1120 km from Mumbai. And 1160 km from Por Bandar.
It is likely to intensify further and move northwards in the Arabian Sea in the next 24 hours. Due to this, there is a possibility of heavy rain along with storm in the coastal part of the state. The Meteorological Department said to issue warning notices at Karwar, Mangalore, Panambur, Honnavar, Bhatkala, Gangolli and Malpe ports in the state.


The Northeast is bracing for a major winter storm. Shovels and snowblowers are flying off the shelves as people prepare. Southern New England will get slammed the hardest. But parts of our region might get up to 20 inches of snow. "The East Coast is expecting a significant amount of snow," said Stephen Gragg, from Burlington Airport.
Get used to hearing 'canceled' during this storm report. More than 30 flights at the Burlington Airport are cancelled. Before the first snow flake fell. "We have several pre-cancellations that we are looking at to Newark, Chicago, JKF, pretty much across the board," said Gragg.
You can't get there by train. Amtrak cancelled Vermonter service to Springfield, Massachusetts. Classes cancelled. Dozens of daycares and schools across the region closed due to the impending storm.
The state's largest utility has crews ready. And tree trimmers lined up. But since light fluffy snow is expected, utilities say that's unlikely to take down trees and powerlines. They worry more about cars crashing into poles during storms like this. Road crews will try to keep up as the snow comes down.


With its first image of Neptune, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope displays its capabilities closer to home. In addition to providing the best glimpse of the planet’s rings in more than 30 years, Webb’s cameras also shed new insight on the ice giant.
The clarity of the planet’s rings, some of which have not been seen since NASA’s Voyager 2 became the first spacecraft to examine Neptune during its approach in 1989, is what stands out most in Webb’s latest photograph.
The Web Displays
The Webb image vividly displays Neptune’s fainter dust bands in addition to many brilliant, narrow rings. Since it was discovered in 1846, Neptune has captivated scientists.
Neptune orbits in the distant, dark area of the outer solar system, 30 times further from the Sun than Earth. High noon on Neptune is comparable to a dull twilight on Earth because of how small and pale the Sun appears from such a great distance away.
The internal chemical composition of this planet qualifies it as an ice giant. Neptune is substantially richer in elements heavier than hydrogen and helium than the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn.
Small concentrations of gaseous methane enable Neptune to appear characteristically blue in Hubble Space Telescope photos at visible wavelengths, which is easily observable.
Neptune does not seem blue to Webb because his Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) only sees objects in the near-infrared spectrum between 0.6 and 5 microns. In fact, the planet is fairly black at these near-infrared wavelengths due to the substantial absorption of red and infrared light by methane gas, with the exception of areas with high-altitude clouds.
These bright streaks and spots of methane-ice clouds are noticeable because they reflect sunlight before it is absorbed by methane gas. Over the years, images from other observatories, such as the W.M. Keck Observatory and the Hubble Space Telescope, have captured these rapidly changing cloud features.
The Visual Indicators
A more discrete visual indicator of the worldwide atmospheric circulation that fuels Neptune’s winds and storms could be a thin line of brightness circling the planet’s equator.
At the equator, the atmosphere lowers and warms, making it light at infrared wavelengths more than the nearby, cooler glasses.
Neptune’s northern pole, near the top of this image, is just out of sight for astronomers due to its 164-year orbit, but the Webb images suggest an unusual brightness there.
Webb’s image clearly shows a previously known vortex around the southern pole, but this is the first time Webb has shown a continuous band of high-latitude clouds surrounding it. Seven of the 14 known moons of Neptune were also captured by Webb.
A very brilliant point of light with the distinctive diffraction spikes observed in many of Webb’s photographs dominates this Webb painting of Neptune; however, this object is not a star.
Triton reflects over 70% of the sunlight that strikes it due to its icy sheen of condensed nitrogen.
The planet’s atmosphere is blackened by methane absorption at these near-infrared wavelengths, thus it significantly outshines Neptune in this view.
Astronomers believe that Triton was originally a Kuiper belt object that was gravitationally caught by Neptune because of its peculiar retrograde (backward) orbit around the planet. In the upcoming year, additional Triton and Neptune Webb studies are anticipated.


Thanks to a rainy end to 2018, Texas is starting the new year with its highest water supply in more than 25 years — and more than 98 percent drought-free.
Texas is at 89.9 percent capacity of its statewide water supply — 9 percentage points higher than normal for this time of year, according to a report by the Texas Water Development Board.
The amount is the greatest value for statewide storage at the start of a year since 1993.
Less than 2 percent of Texas is experiencing moderate drought conditions, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. Those areas include portions of the Texas Panhandle, West Texas and South Texas. The rest of the state, including all of North Texas and Central Texas, is drought-free.
"In the last 20 years, the area of the state impacted by drought was lower at the beginning of only two other years (2005 and 2016)," the report states.
A year ago, 34 percent of the state was experiencing drought conditions, according to the report.
Above-average rainfall between October and December in central, northern and eastern areas of Texas helped to contribute to the state’s current water supply, according to the National Weather Service’s Southern Region office.
From September through November, Dallas-Fort Worth recorded 29.21 inches of rain at DFW International Airport, making it the wettest fall on record.
An additional 4.55 inches of rain was recorded in December, putting North Texas at 55.51 inches for 2018 — the area's second-wettest year ever.


RUSH-HOUR commuters were caught in a storm yesterday as thunder and torrential rain battered the Merseyside.
The A565 Crosby Road North in Waterloo was closed both ways between South Road and Alexandra Road after a multi-vehicle collision.
One man suffered cuts to his arms in the crash which happened at 5.20pm.
But there were no serious injuries and the road was fully reopened to traffic at around 7.20pm.
The torrential thunderstorm also meant Tranmere Rovers’ pre-season friendly against Bolton Wanderers was called off because of a waterlogged pitch.
The weather followed a regular pattern of heavy downpours alternating with periods of bright sunshine.
A Met Office forecaster said there would be patches of rain in the region today brightening in the afternoon.


County roads, interstate still icy as night falls
As night falls on West Tennessee, roadways are becoming more slick and accidents have been reported on Interstate 40 in Henderson and Madison counties.
Several counties have reported no accidents despite the slick roads.
National Weather Service meteorologists expect one to two inches of rain Saturday afternoon and temperatures to begin to rise this evening around 7 p.m. NWS meteorologist Andy Chiuppi said that localized flooding is possible in some areas. Temperatures are expected to be near 40 degrees by sunrise and in the mid-50s by Saturday afternoon.
Temperatures are expected to drop below freezing again early Monday morning.
Carroll County: Roads are beginning to get slick. No major accidents have been reported. The weather throughout the day has been a mixture of rain and sleet.
Gibson County: Roads are starting to get slick in the county, but no major accidents have been reported.

SAN ANGELO, Texas - Storms that blew through San Angelo caused power outages throughout the city but also brought much-needed rain, even if the rain didn't do anything for San Angelo's diminishing water supply.
About 0.41 inches of rain was recorded Sunday night at the San Angelo Regional Airport, but other parts of town reported up to 0.73 inches, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in San Angelo said.
The storm, caused by a front, blew in about 10 p.m. and stretched across West Central Texas, meteorologist Joel Dunn said. Measurable rain stopped about 5 a.m., with traces drifting down for the next hour.
"We had a little stationary front and it started moving down," he said.
That puts San Angelo at 14.04 inches for the year, about an inch and a half above normal. The normal for the first 12 days of August is 0.67 inches.
The storm brought heavy winds and caused power outages.
About 180 people in San Angelo still were without power Monday morning, according to data from the AEP Texas website.
Several substations were affected, AEP Texas spokesman Fred Hernandez said. Crews were sent to work about midnight and had most of the stations online by about 6 a.m.
The storms shut down operations at the city of San Angelo water billing office until midmorning.
Angelo State University lost electricity but "it didn't cause us any problems," said Jay Halbert, ASU's director of facilities management. At most, the buildings were a little warmer, he said, as classes are not in session.
"If that's all I have to put up with to get a little bit of rain, I'll take that," he said.
The storms were accompanied by high winds, with the highest gust estimated about 65 mph in Wall, Dunn said.
A Texas Department of Public Safety news release said strong winds overturned a trailer that a pickup was carrying at 10:40 p.m. Sunday 22 miles south of San Angelo on U.S. 87.
Two other pickups then stopped to help, and a truck-tractor pulling a semitrailer also traveling west crashed into one of the pickups that were stopped as well as the pickup and overturned trailer, the release stated.
One of the drivers of the pickups that had stopped and two passengers from the pickup with the overturned trailer went to Shannon Medical Center for treatment.
No names of the people involved were available Monday evening.
The rain didn't have any impact on reservoir water levels, Upper Colorado River Authority water expert Stephen Brown said.
"No impact whatsoever," he said. "It did not mean much at all."
The rains were not enough to saturate the ground to prepare for another rain, he said.
The area needs a widespread 4- to 5-inch rain, he said, something like rains from a hurricane or a low pressure system stalling over the Concho Valley.
San Angelo is set to run out of water by October 2013 if no runoff reaches the lakes, and it could reach drought contingency level 3, under which no outdoor watering is permitted, by the end of October.
The coming week holds the potential for more rain — Friday has a 20 to 30 percent chance — and the prospect for cooling, with daytime high temperatures in the 90s, Dunn said.
The highs until Friday are forecast to be in the 100s every day.
"Maybe we'll get a good rain," Brown said. "Hope springs eternal."

The overwhelming probability is that rain won’t begin until very early Monday morning (except in the Santa Cruz mountains and the extreme South Bay).
If you’ve never been to Seattle, you’ll get a dose of what it’s like, with on-again, off-again rain and showers for the ensuing four days.
The models suggest the most robust rain setting in Wednesday through Thursday, with amounts totaling two to three inches in general, with more at higher elevations.
Inland areas will be slower to feel the showers as they move from the south to the north.READ MORE: UPDATE: San Francisco Easing Some Indoor COVID Masking Requirements Feb. 1
Rain will fall throughout the state of California over the next few days. In the Bay Area, the heaviest rain will likely come on Wednesday night. The weekend looks to remain dry, with a slight chance of showers.
Highs will range from 56° (inland) to 60° (along the coast) for the duration. Lows will be mostly in the 40s.
The National Weather Service warned of an increased risk of sneaker waves at Bay Area beaches from 9 a.m. Sunday through 3 a.m. Monday.
The beach hazards warning applies to west to northwest-facing beaches along the Central Coast from Sonoma County through Monterey County, including Ocean Beach in San Francisco, Montara State Beach in San Mateo County and Marina State Beach in Monterey County.MORE NEWS: 49ers Playoffs: Fans Become Targets Of Ticket Scammers Ahead Of NFC Championship

Uttarakhand has been dealing with heavy rainfall for a couple of days in the month of June 2021. On June 20 2021, a landslide occurred in Uttarakhand due to the heavy rainfall which had affected the traffic in the area tremendously.
LANDSLIDE IN UTTARAKHAND-
On 20th June 2021, heavy rainfall caused a landslide at Tanakpur-Pithoragarh highway, Uttarakhand. The place has been dealing with continuous heavy rainfall for a few days which led to the cause of the landslide.
- The landslide at Tanakpur-Pithoragarh highway caused a disruption in the connectivity through roads in Pithoragarh from other nearby districts.
- According to a report, connectivity of 20 places was blocked between Tanakpur and Pithoragarh.
According to the H D Mathela, the Executive engineer of the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) said, “The all-weather road from Tanakpur to Pithoragarh is blocked at five places between Pithoragarh and Ghat and at 15 other places between Ghat and Tanakpur”.
- To clear the blockage on the road due to the landslide the authorities have deployed earthmover machines in the area. But due to the continuous rainfall, it has been very difficult to clear the blockage on the highway.
EFFECTS OF THE LANDSLIDE-
- The Kailash Mansarover was blocked for 13 days straight due to heavy rainfall. Due to which 40 nearby villages remained cut from Dharchula tehsil
- The areas were situated near Darma, Chaudas, and Vyas villages.
- The roads that lead to Munsiyari from Jauljibi are also closed due to the immense traffic caused by the heavy rainfall.
- Not only that but the level of water in these areas also increased drastically. The water level has considerably crossed the danger level in many rivers in the district like Dhauli, Saryu, Kali, and Gori.
- The local authorities have issued an alert to the people living in the areas near this affected district.

Around 865 000 people have been evacuated from the coastal areas of Zhejiang province, China ahead of Typhoon "Chan-hom" landfall. The typhoon is expected to hit land Saturday afternoon between the coastal cities of Rui’an and Zhoushan, south of Shanghai. Chinese Meteorological Administration has issued a red warning for the province.
Authorities have also ordered 28 764 ships back to ports, canceled all flights into and out of Zhoushan along with 400 flights elsewhere in the region. More than 100 trains between the region's cities are not operating.
During the last 24 hours, Chan-hom has been moving in the East China Sea in a NW direction, causing 20 injuries in southern Japanese islands, and reached Chinese coastal areas close to Ningbo (Zhejiang province) as of 00:00 UTC on July 11.
At the time, the typhoon had a wind speed of approximately 167 km/h (104 mph) which made it a Category 2 tropical cyclone.
Over the next 24 hours, Chan-hom will change its course to a NE direction passing over the sea area close to Shanghai and towards the Korean peninsula.
The Japanese authorities issued a red warning for high waves for the southern areas of the country (Hokubu, Nambu and Toshiima-mura).

At 09:00 UTC on July 11, JTWC noted that animated multi-spectral imagery continues to show the system has maintained tight spiral banding which is wrapping into a 26 km (16 miles) wide eye with some erosion on the western side due to land interaction.
Beyond the next 36 hours, Chan-hom is expected to make landfall near Haeju, North Korea. As it tracks through the mountainous terrain of northern North Korea, JTWC expects continued decay of the system with complete dissipation west of Vladivostok, Russia on July 14.

Snowstorm to hit Catskills on Thursday
2/12/14 - 2:18 pm
Above: Graphic from the National Weather Service showing weather watches, warnings and advisories in upstate New York as of 1 p.m. on Wednesday. The area in pink, stretching across the southern Catskills and Hudson Valley, is under winter storm warning; counties in dark blue are under winter storm watch.
A nor'easter moving up the East Coast is expected to drop anywhere from 6 to 18 inches of snow on the Catskills on Thursday, with the heaviest accumulations in the southeastern part of the region.
Snow will begin to fall Thursday morning, become heavier in the afternoon, and continue overnight. Forecasters expect travel conditions to be dangerous in the area from Thursday through Friday morning.
Hudson Valley Weather has a detailed forecast for the storm, with a breakdown of how much snow accumulation is expected in different parts of the Catskills and Hudson Valley. The highest accumulations are expected to occur in a fairly narrow band across the mid-Hudson Valley, Shawangunk Mountains and the southeastern Catskills.
The U.S. National Weather Service offices in Binghamton and Albany are tracking the storm's progress toward the region. The Binghamton office covers Delaware and Sullivan counties in the Catskills; the Albany office covers Greene, Schoharie and Ulster.
Any shift in the track of the storm as it moves northward could move the band of high precipitation north or south, forecasters say.
Update, 2:53 p.m.: Trailways bus service to several routes that serve the Catskills region has been cancelled for Thursday, in advance of the snowstorm. For more information, click here.
Update, 10:21 p.m.: The latest forecast briefing from Hudson Valley Weather calls for increased amounts of snow: 8 to 16 inches across the northwestern Catskills, and 10 to 18 inches across the southeastern Catskills and mid-Hudson Valley. A combination of heavy, wet snow and gusting winds could bring trees down and lead to power outages in the region.
