Scientists Test System to Forecast Flash Floods along Colorado's Front Range
People living near vulnerable creeks and rivers along Colorado's Front Range may soon get advance notice of potentially deadly floods, thanks to a new forecasting system being tested this summer by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colo. View More (2008-07-23)
Many weather factors needed for accurate climate change predictions
Current climate change impact models that consider only one weather variable, such as increasing temperature, sometimes spawn unsubstantiated doomsday predictions, according to researchers at Purdue and North Carolina universities. View More (2006-11-07)
Hurricane Katrina: Phone Home
Though New Orleans residents were told to evacuate days before the arrival of Hurricane Katrina, no one could have predicted the real extent of the devastation. View More (2009-07-07)
Cyclone Oli reaches category 4 strength on its way to open waters

Cosmic rays detected deep underground reveal secrets of the upper atmosphere
Cosmic-rays detected half a mile underground in a disused U.S. iron-mine can be used to detect major weather events occurring 20 miles up in the Earth's upper atmosphere, a new study has revealed. View More (2009-01-22)
Migraine triggers tricky to pinpoint
Women often point to stress, hormones, alcohol, or even the weather as possible triggers for their migraines. View More (2013-04-08)
Major advances in predicting storms causing flooding
Heavy rainfall and floods are important disruptive natural hazards with worldwide social and economic impacts. The flood damage across Europe that occurred this August is put at billions of pounds. Experts from around the world are examining major scientific developments in storm and rainfall forecasting from 2 to 6 September 2002, at an International Conference organized by the Royal...

Cloud radar -- predicting the weather more accurately
The weather. It's the one topic of conversation that unites Britain - umbrella or sun cream? Now scientists at the Science and Technology Facilities Council have developed a system that measures the individual layers of cloud above us which will make answering the all-important weather questions much easier in future.

People's misperceptions cloud their understanding of rainy weather forecasts
If Mark Twain were alive today he might rephrase his frequently cited observation about everyone talking about the weather but not doing anything about it to say, "Everyone reads or watches weather forecasts, but many people don't understand them." View More (2009-04-15)
Converging weather patterns caused last winter's huge snows
The memory of last winter's blizzards may be fading in this summer's searing heat, but scientists studying them have detected a perfect storm of converging weather patterns that had little relation to climate change. View More (2010-07-27)
Man-made aurora to help predict space weather
For more than 25 years, our understanding of terrestrial space weather has been partly based on incorrect assumptions about how nitrogen, the most abundant gas in our atmosphere, reacts when it collides with electrons produced by energetic ultraviolet sunlight and "solar wind."

NOAA: Sunspot is harbinger of new solar cycle, increasing risk for electrical systems
A new 11-year cycle of heightened solar activity, bringing with it increased risks for power grids, critical military, civilian and airline communications, GPS signals and even cell phones and ATM transactions, showed signs it was on its way late Thursday when the cycle's first sunspot appeared in the sun's Northern Hemisphere, NOAA scientists said.

Global winds could explain record rains, tornadoes
Two talks at a scientific conference this week will propose a common root for an enormous deluge in western Tennessee in May 2010, and a historic outbreak of tornadoes centered on Alabama in April 2011. View More (2011-12-06)
Weather affects Lyme Disease in northeast USA
Weather and changing climate are contributing to the pattern of Lyme disease fluctuation seen throughout the northeastern United States, according to new research from the University of East Anglia, UK. A record 18,000 cases were reported in 2002 to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The study uses a statistical method to show that Lyme disease incidence is related to climate...
