but a couple of small pockets of rain could pop up over a couple of our neighborhoods Highs will be in the upper 60s with some sunshine breaking through the clouds the later in the day we get a few spotty showers will start to pop up again so some of us will need the windshield wipers on heading into work and school Scattered rain will continue across eastern Nebraska and western Iowa the rest of the morning and through the afternoon but there will be plenty of dry time mixed in between the showers This will keep us mostly cloudy and a little cooler with mid 60s The weekend looks a lot nicer for your outdoor plans Saturday will be mostly sunny with a high near 70 We stay mostly sunny and breezy Monday with mid 70s The mid 70s continue Tuesday and Wednesday but both days look mostly cloudy with a small chance for rain THURSDAYPartly CloudyIsolated RainBreezyHigh: 68 THURSDAY NIGHTPartly CloudyIsolated RainLow: 49 FRIDAYMostly CloudyScattered RainBreezyHigh: 64 some rain chances will return to Houston’s forecast We are not expecting any days really to be washouts I’m also holding out some hope that a weak front makes it into the city this weekend providing for some slightly drier and cooler air The high pressure that has held sway since last Friday and basically shut off rain chances since then This does not mean you will see rain every day from now on but over the next 10 days there will be at least a slight chance of rain most days Total accumulations over the next 10 days may only be 1 to 2 inches so we don’t have any real flood concerns at this time It just should be a pattern that provides the potential for spoiling a few outdoor activities but also helps our trees and plants before the long summer days that lie in our near future and anything that falls would be a quick passing shower However that does not mean sunshine will be abundant and this will help limit high temperatures in the mid-80s for most locations With dewpoints in the 60s it will feel moderately We can expect southerly winds at about 15 mph Overnight lows will only drop into the mid-70s A weak front will move toward the Houston region on Wednesday and it will spur a slight chance of thunderstorms to the northwest of the metro area I think the chance of any serious storms getting anywhere close to the city of Houston or its surrounding suburbs is quite low with a fairly robust southerly wind as on Tuesday Rain chances turn a little bit higher on Wednesday night Some far inland areas may see lows on Wednesday night in the 60s due to the proximity of the front but most of the region should remain in the 70s These will be a pair of hotter days as we see an injection of warm Thursday probably will be the warmest day of the week with some locations potentially hitting 90 degrees as skies become partly sunny but another slow-moving front will spur better rain chances I expect most of the region will see some showers or possibly even thunderstorms later on Friday or Friday night as the front slowly moves in but at this point I think that weak front will make it all the way to the coast As a result most of the area should see highs in the lower 80s this weekend There will still be a healthy chance of rain on Saturday but I expect Sunday to be partly sunny and fairly nice the weekend forecast is very much in flux because we just can’t be sure how much oomph that front is going to have but I have some hopes for a nice day on Sunday I think Monday probably will see a fair amount of sunshine before rain chances return again next week during the Tuesday through Thursday time frame I don’t think we’re looking at anything extreme at all but just more rain to help our soils remain in good shape for nature If Sunday morning’s low temperature is 66° Fahrenheit What I see on the weather dot gov website is an average low of 66 at HOU and 65 at IAH for May 4 The information is from the 2023 Houston Chronicle May 4th(?) and possibly are measurements at Bush Airport and possibly include low temperature measurements from Hobby Airport from about 1933 to 1969 and downtown Houston which is paywalled so no way for Scott and others to see the specific weather data I welcome the cloud cover to limit the daytime heating Don’t worry heat-lovers: we’ll have plenty of 90+ days shortly I feel so sorry for the 5 people in the entire Houston population that really want those 90+ days don’t tempt the weather gods by asking for rain Sadly the only way for us not to have a summer like 2023 anymore is for it to be rainy But fall/winter/spring was awful this year in terms of cooling off We didnt really cool off until Mid November and had spells in between of humid 70 degree weather through early april November was one of the warmest due to the insanely warm start of the month followed by our 5th warmest December due to only a strong front arriving in late November and around December 11 with multiple back to back 80s January was a month that finally had promising weather with below average temps February threw that out the window with its bipolarity with an abysmal warm first week followed by a freezing final week of the month the Southern Ocean – between Antarctica and other continents – will eventually release heat absorbed from the atmosphere leading to projected long-term increases in precipitation over East Asia and the Western U.S. These teleconnections between the tropical Pacific and far-flung areas are reported in a Cornell-led computer-model study published April 2 in Nature Geosciences While other computer models have projected similar precipitation increases generated by a warming Southern Ocean major uncertainties and a wide range of predictions exist between models The new study serves to reduce those uncertainties which could improve predictions of global mean temperatures and regional precipitation “We needed to find the cause of those uncertainties,” said Hanjun Kim, the study’s co-corresponding author and a postdoctoral associate working with co-authors Flavio Lehner and Angeline Pendergrass both assistant professors of atmospheric sciences in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) professor in the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg “I found that low-altitude cloud feedbacks over the Southern Hemisphere can be one cause of those uncertainties in remote Northern Hemisphere regional precipitation,” Kim said “If we try to reduce the uncertainty of Southern Hemisphere cloud feedbacks then we can also improve the prediction of global mean temperatures.” “Our study is the first to show the exact pathway by which this upcoming change in the Southern Ocean will affect weather patterns around the world especially with the focus on these two regions in Asia and North America,” Lehner said which they eventually release back into the atmosphere The Southern Ocean has a higher capacity for absorbing heat than other bodies of water due to a strong upwelling of deep cold water but eventually the water will warm and gradually release heat which are predicted to increase precipitation in East Asia during summers and in the Western U.S Such teleconnections are very similar to how El Niño affects weather patterns The model predicted that due to the ocean’s slow release of heat the new precipitation patterns could persist for up to 150 years regardless of efforts to reduce greenhouse gases “We can occasionally see these processes today which allows us to study them,” Lehner said “but we expect in the future for these processes to switch from being an occasional occurrence to being a more permanent state of the system.” Kim found that low-lying clouds over the Southern Ocean act as a key regulator affecting sea-surface temperatures Accounting for these cloud feedbacks in climate models help explain the uncertainties and variations from one model to another There are few observational facilities in Antarctica to provide data on cloud feedbacks in the Southern Ocean so increasing those would in turn improve predictions The study was funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and by the

to build early on Wednesday morning but there’s a good chance many areas remain dry and fairly sunny during the morning commute It still might be a good idea to grab the umbrella for the rest of the day because showers will become possible as we go later into the morning with the northwest zone of the TV9 viewing area somewhat more favored than elsewhere clouds will be fairly common throughout the day Temperatures will recover into the upper 50s to mid 60s for highs A somewhat more widespread push of rain and some embedded thunderstorms moves in later on Wednesday evening into Wednesday night offers the best chance to see precipitation Lows will be in the upper 40s to low 50s overnight Thursday will still keep around a decent amount of cloud cover and isolated to widely scattered showers aren’t out of the question during the day Thursday night represents a bit of a reprieve between storm systems which is pretty close to normal for this time of year It brings with it another shot at some showers along and southwest of its track That puts much of the viewing area within the area where showers are possible rainfall amounts over the three-day period from Wednesday through Friday could be somewhat decent Amounts will range from around a tenth of an inch northwest to as much as 0.25″ to 0.50″ in the southeast and a cool air mass hanging around keep highs in the upper 50s to low 60s on Friday Our chilliest night of the week follows on Friday night with partly cloudy skies and lows in the upper 30s to low 40s This chilly morning sets up a really nice set of weather conditions for the weekend Both days will feature a decent amount of sunshine though pop-up clouds are a possibility on Saturday with a somewhat cooler air mass still in place Sunday should be full sunshine with lows in the low to mid 40s and highs in the upper 60s to low 70s though strong gusts don’t look likely at this point Make sure to make the most of the pleasant weather While the quiet weather pattern is likely to continue into the following week we will see some change as far as temperatures are concerned Highs will continue to warm through about midweek when they’ll reach a peak of the upper 70s to around 80 degrees This would still be more than 10 degrees above normal for early May in some cases The lone exception is toward the middle of the week when a slight chance for

temperatures will climb into the upper 50s and low 60s by afternoon with a warmer and more active pattern returning Highs will surge into the 60s and even near 70 by Wednesday and Thursday We’ll be dodging more rounds of rain and even a few thunderstorms from Thursday night into Friday Some of those storms could be on the stronger side but details around the timing and track of that next system are still coming into focus long-range trends suggest we could see another break from the rain with temperatures staying near or above normal temperatures climbed to the warmest level of the year so

experience Credit: Will Kirk / Johns Hopkins University A team of Johns Hopkins University seniors studying environmental health and engineering is working with the City of Baltimore to reduce future flood risks at one of its two wastewater treatment plants and more frequent flooding events predicted the Back River Wastewater Treatment Plant in nearby Dundalk could face serious damage or disruption over the next several decades unless the city takes steps to prepare "Providing our students with this project will give them the skills to help them excel in our changing world." The students—team members Joey Stanley, Lalitha Aiyar, Emily Klaus, Ricardo Montiel, and CJ Cole—will present their project on April 29 at the Whiting School of Engineering's Design Day the school's annual event showcasing students' creativity and ability to translate theoretical knowledge into solutions to real-world problems The team will also share their findings in a report to the Department of Public Works and city leadership Situated on the western shore of the Back River along Eastern Avenue just outside the Baltimore City limits the Back River Wastewater Treatment Plant treats an average of 180 million gallons of wastewater per day untreated sewage and wastewater would be released into the environment The Hopkins team proposes to protect the facility through a combination of constructed wetlands and physical barriers "The Back River Wastewater Treatment Plant is a crucial part of Baltimore City's infrastructure," said team member Joey Stanley and ensuring long-term service reliability is essential to safeguard the environment and public health." The team's recommendation is two-pronged: Construct a wetland to prevent erosion from rising sea levels and the eroding force of waves over time and erect more traditional barriers to prevent large storm surges from inundating the plant This approach melds nature-based solutions with more traditional structural ones "Wetlands capture a lot of water," Stanley said natural solutions like wetlands have a lot of added benefits Wetlands are also resilient and can generally withstand hurricanes unscathed they are less effective at stopping a large storm surge from inundating the plant "Let's say a Category 4 or 5 hurricane rolls in and gigantic waves are crashing and the sea level has risen to a certain amount by some year in the future A wetland will only help to protect and reduce wave impact But to protect the plant against a high-water event you do need some form of hard infrastructure," he said While the Hopkins team's design is conceptual at this stage making site visits in different conditions and working with professionals to design a solution to a real-world problem was a great experience Comparing water levels at the plant in dry weather and during a rainstorm coupled with projections based on NOAA data "We went out to the site when it was really calm and it seemed like the facility infrastructure was well above the river," Cole said "Then we visited during a really heavy rainstorm and saw waters from the Back River encroaching in a lot of areas Getting that hands-on experience was really helpful." Between the two visits and the depictions of anticipated sea level rise mapped using NOAA data input into GIS systems the team felt a duty to find potential solutions "You can see whole swaths of the plant being underwater based upon future projections of sea level rise," Cole said "It really spoke to us to do something about that."

According to the April 17 report, the agency forecasts a 40-50% probability of above-normal precipitation for northeastern Arizona from July to September. This includes Coconino County and portions of Yavapai and Gila counties. The rest of the state is expected to see up to a 40% chance of increased moisture. The National Weather Service in Flagstaff says the setup aligns with a trend where dry winters often set the stage for a wetter monsoon season. It's good news after abnormally low precipitation over the winter and early spring. However, a recent update from the agency still warns of a likely significant, extended wildfire season across Arizona.

WASHINGTON (AP) — As extreme weather events have hit the world hard in recent years one meteorology term — atmospheric rivers — has made the leap from scientific circles to common language particularly in places that have been hit by them Atmospheric rivers are long and relatively narrow bands of water vapor They take water from oceans and flow through the sky dumping rain in prodigious amounts They have increased in the area they soak by 6 to 9% since 1980 increased in frequency by 2 to 6% and are slightly wetter than before “This doesn’t mean that it’s necessarily all because of climate change with some expectations of how (atmospheric rivers) will change in a warming atmosphere,” study lead author Lexi Henny an atmospheric scientist at the University of North Carolina who did her research while at NASA What’s happened already “is still small relative to the changes that we think are going to happen” in a future warmer world but is rich with new details and data that

last four months with a supportive the memories with my teammates will always last but skills which I believe are necessary amidst a precarious time in our country feeling a bit unnerved at the prospect of playing a sport I’d taken a year-long break from I focused on what I could control — leading by my actions I’d never been much of an offensive powerhouse a fast-break steal when the other team loses the ball Defense would be my way to contribute to the team I knew where to start and I was excited to do so There are many times in life when people look to delegate responsibility there’s a fear of being responsible for actions that may lead to an unplanned or negative outcome During the beginning of the basketball season I desperately wanted someone else to dribble the ball up the court I was a point guard too nervous to handle the defensive pressure too ashamed to cost my teammates a chance at scoring if I lost the ball The “what-ifs” of responsibility bombarded my brain These same feelings of timidness and hesitancy are what seem to hold people back from standing up for themselves or for a cause Rochester is home to a large immigrant population there is fear and distress not only among people who are the targets of ICE raids but for loved ones and communities connected to them who have been legal green card holders for most of my life are questioning how much longer they’ll be protected It takes courage to be more than a complacent bystander and taking responsibility for one's own voice might be the greatest skill one can master Responsibility means action with the courage to deal with the consequences No matter how imposing the duty of handling the basketball for my team was No matter how nerve-wracking it may seem to stand up for something or for others I recently participated in an event that personified leading by example is a student-led nonprofit that organized a peaceful rally for Immigrant Rights Not knowing how many people would show or whether or not it would be well received Standing in the crowd of around 200 people I listened and watched my high school peers deliver beautiful poems A small group of teenagers united a hefty crowd of people Imagine what so many more could accomplish but it needs people who are willing to step outside their comfort zone My peers showed me what it means to truly lead by example Turns out the skills

children of recent years aren’t experiencing the same climate as a decade ago With the effects of climate change becoming more tangible along with businesses that depend on snow and cooler weather

tourist attractions are deprived of those experiences I remember watching the classic winter movie “Grumpy Old Men” (filmed in Wabasha in 1993) over winter break and thinking how much I’d love to have even half the amount of snow that was being shown through my TV screen A Minnesota winter without snow isn’t a true Minnesota winter it’s just freezing cold gusts of wind without any picturesque landscapes instead of concerning people to a point of comfortable ignorance I’d greatly encourage everyone to stay informed on local and global climate issues The nationally recognized Earth Day should not be a brief acknowledgment that we’ve continued to move in the wrong direction Minnesota winters will only become more sparse if we sit by and watch The systems of our society make it

Montana and north-central/northeast Wyoming during the day before high pressure pushes all precipitation out by late evening Thursday's highs will be in the 50s and 60s Friday and Saturday are looking great with a healthy dose of sunshine and highs in the 60s and 70s on Friday Sunday will be dry through the afternoon with highs staying in the 70s and 80s but our next unsettled weather system is forecast to bring a chance of rain by the evening and into early next week There is still some uncertainty on how this split-trough system will influence the area but wetter and cooler conditions look likely it will have less of an impact on the region then there will be a moderate chance of seeing at least a quarter of an inch across much of the area through Tuesday There will also be potential for snow at least in the higher elevations of area mountains but a cold front is projected to sweep through on Monday morning that could lower snow levels We'll have to see how the models align over the next few days daytime highs will be in the 50s on Monday Nighttime lows will be in the 30s and 40s through Friday night then back into the 30s and 40s early next week Miller RobsonQ2 Morning

Seasonal Precipitation Outlook for the Monsoon which runs June 15-th through the end of September The latest guidance from the Climate Prediction Center continues to lean toward a wetter-than-average monsoon across Arizona this summer Officials say dry winters with low snowpack are often correlated with wetter monsoons Wetter winters usually lead to drier monsoons Your online media center for six

near Tetonia NOAA predicts that winter 2024-2025 will bring wetter-than-average conditions for the Pacific Northwest and the Great Lakes states with drier-than-average conditions expected from the Four Corners region of the Southwest to the Southeast A slowly-developing La Nina is favored to influence conditions for the upcoming winter across most of the country, according to NOAA’s U.S. Winter Outlook released today by the Climate Prediction Center — a division of NOAA’s National Weather Service This outlook is for December 2024 through February 2025 and contains information on likely conditions throughout the country for temperature NOAA predicts wetter-than-average conditions for the entire northern tier of the continental U.S. particularly in the Pacific Northwest and the Great Lakes region drier-than-average conditions are expected from the Four Corners region of the Southwest to the Southeast Gulf Coast and lower mid-Atlantic states.  we announced a $100 million investment into NOAA’s high-performance computer system to advance research on weather climate and ocean predictions because understanding our climate system is essential for making longer-term predictions like the Winter Seasonal Outlook which provides vital information for many of our partners and the public,” said Michael Morgan NOAA’s assistant secretary of commerce for observation and prediction developing new ways to share winter forecast information with the public.” an emerging La Nina is anticipated to influence the upcoming winter patterns especially our precipitation predictions,” said Jon Gottschalck chief of the Operational Prediction Branch of the Climate Prediction Center.  La Nina conditions are expected to develop later this fall and typically lead to a more northerly storm track during the winter months, leaving the southern tier of the country warmer and drier. As a result, NOAA forecasters, in collaboration with the National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) expect drought conditions to persist and worsen across the central and southern Plains of the U.S after a brief period in the spring of 2024 with minimal drought conditions across the country more than a quarter of the land mass in the continental U.S is currently in at least a moderate drought,” said Brad Pugh operational drought lead with NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center “And the winter precipitation outlook does not bode well for widespread relief.” NOAA’s seasonal outlooks provide the likelihood that temperatures and total precipitation amounts will be above- and how drought conditions are anticipated to change in the months ahead The outlook does not project seasonal snowfall accumulations as snow forecasts are generally not predictable more than a week in advance.  NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center updates the three-month outlook monthly The next update will be available November 21.  Climate, weather, and water affect all life on our ocean planet. NOAA’s mission is to understand and predict our changing environment and to manage and conserve America’s

to the India Meteorological Department’s (IMD) outlook for the month People rush to their destinations amid rain in Mandi on Thursday (Birbal Sharma/HT) According to the outlook for May issued by IMD’s Shimla office the mean maximum and minimum temperatures are likely to be above normal over most parts of the state above normal rainfall is also likely over many parts of plains and adjoining mid hills and near normal over rest of the state,” said IMD officials IMD had said that most parts of Himachal are expected to witness above normal temperatures during the summer and more heatwave days making it the 37th lowest rainfall since 1901 the state received 64.8 mm rainfall in April Chamba received the highest precipitation at 55.2 mm and Una received the lowest precipitation (17.8 mm) in the month Lahaul-Spiti district had the highest rain deficit at 44% whereas there was 16% excess precipitation in Bilaspur district Solan and Sirmaur received normal precipitation and the remaining districts of Himachal received deficient rain in April IMD forecast said light to moderate rainfall is likely in parts of the state from May 2 to 4 and light rainfall is expected in mid hills and some plains and high hills on May 5 The weather office issued a yellow alert of thunderstorms accompanied with lightning and gusty wind (40- 50 kmph) at isolated places for this period Most Americans can expect wetter winters in the future due to global warming according to a new study led by a University of Illinois Chicago scientist.  Using climate models to investigate how winter precipitation in the United States will change by the end of the 21st century, a team led by Akintomide Akinsanola found overall winter precipitation and extreme weather events will increase across most of the country.   The study in npj Climate and Atmospheric Science also reported an increased frequency in “very wet” winters — those which would rank in the top 5% of U.S these previously rare winters would happen as often as once every four years in some parts of the country.  Combined with a shift from snow to rain in many parts of the country the changes will have dramatic implications for agriculture flooding and other climate-sensitive areas assistant professor of earth and environmental sciences at UIC.  unlike summer and other seasons where projected changes in precipitation is highly uncertain there will be a robust future intensification of winter precipitation,” Akinsanola said “It will accelerate well past what we have seen in historic data.”  The team used 19 Earth system models in their study and carried out their analysis over the seven U.S. subregions defined in the National Climate Assessment Report The study compared projected precipitation at the end of the 21st century (2070-2099) to the present period (1985-2014).  they showed an increase in mean winter precipitation of about 2%-5% per degree of warming by the end of the 21st century Six of the seven regions will also experience more frequent very wet winters with the sharpest increases seen in the Northeast and Midwest.  The southern Great Plains — states along the southern border such as Texas and Oklahoma — was the only region where projected changes were very small and highly uncertain more frequent extreme dry events will offset or outweigh the increasing extreme wet events The findings highlight that changes in winter precipitation will have a significant impact nationwide and more impact than expected changes in spring and summer precipitation.   The mix of precipitation also will likely change in many areas Previous studies have projected that as temperatures rise more precipitation will fall as rain rather than snow This reduced snowpack plus higher rain will stress existing systems.  “There will be a need for updating or upgrading infrastructure because we’re not just talking about the mean precipitation we’re also talking about an increase in extreme events,” Akinsanola said “Drainage systems and buildings will have to be improved to cope with potential floods and storm damage.”  In current and future work, Akinsanola will use higher-resolution models to predict changes in precipitation compound dry and hot extremes and other extreme events on a more local level He conducts some of his research in association with the Environmental Science Division at Argonne
