The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration recently shared its findings about the United States' climate for the month of April. Areas such as Seattle received 12 consecutive days of rain and Midwest rivers and high planes are still experiencing flooding. Precipitation for the year is now totaled at 11.24 inches across the states making for 1.76 inches above average and the seventh wettest year-to-date. While the total drought coverage was down to only 2%, drought spread in places like Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
Read the article below for more statistics on the United States Climate.

April showers indeed brought May flowers as well as sizeable drought relief for the United States, with a near-record low of 2% coverage for the country.Tuesday April 23rd, 2019 - 5:53 pm
2019 is unfortunately continuing to make headlines with continually higher global average temperatures. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, last month was the second hottest March or record coming in at 1.62 degrees warmer than the 54.1 degree average. Despite the seemingly cooler conditions for the United States, Alaska, Western Canada, and Australia are just a few places that experienced the highest departures from the average temperature, all of which were warmer.

Sweltering conditions around the world last month made March 2019 the second-hottest March on record for planet Earth, after March 2016.Doesn't take a genius to realize that weather is changing and not for the better.
NOAA is continuing to brainwash people with lies!

This past Sunday's storms caused quite a bit of commotion in Athens including knocking out our data server's power. This series of storms went on to cause further damage eastward and generating over 600 storm reports to the Storm Prediction Center, most for high winds with a few dozen hail and tornado reports. Winds for the Athens area reached approximately 60 mph, causing downed trees and power lines.
See all of the storm reports at the Storm Prediction Center below.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Climate group put out an in depth article last month about changes happening to Antarctica. New research is showing that ice sheets are decreasing in mass at an increasing rate over the last 40 years. Ice loss is now up to hundreds of billions of tons per year for the continent which can lead to drastic sea level changes by 2100, only about 80 years from now.
The director of Scalia Lab, Dr. Ryan Fogt, studies climate change and variability with a particular focus on Antarctica. Check out Scalia Lab's website under the research tab to learn more about his work.
Antarctica is colder than the Arctic, but it’s still losing ice | NOAA Climate.gov

Antarctica has not responded as quickly to climate change as the Arctic, but Earth’s southernmost continent is still losing ice. Ice shelf disintegration and glacier acceleration in Antarctica could raise global sea level significantly, and the effects would be keenly felt along U.S. coastlines.Saturday March 30th, 2019 - 2:50 pm
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration recently released statistics that 2018 had seen the fourth largest increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide on record. Recorded from Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii, carbon dioxide concentrations increased from an average of 407.05 parts per million (ppm) to 409.92 ppm from January 1st of 2018 to 2019 for an increase of 2.87 ppm. This rising trend can be seen even from the observatory's earliest observations 60 years ago which can be seen pictured.

By the end of 2018, NOAA’s atmospheric observatory at Mauna Loa recorded the fourth-highest annual growth in the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) in 60 years of record-keeping.So we've managed to increase CO2 content by 25% in a single lifetime?

NOAA has released an article detailing flood risk for the upcoming Spring months. Around two-thirds of the continental U.S will face an elevated flood risk with SE Ohio outlined in the minor flood region. This means greater than 50% chance to see at least minor flooding in March - May months. Check the article out for more details.

So disappointed and frustrated that the last lecture slides (Fire and River) did not work on line. Especially since some was specifically related to our area. And it happens to be the lecture I was most interested in. Also cut short his question period which wasn’t very nice. Nan

Our June-July-August outlook sees increased chances for a warmer than usual summer outside of the Great Plains and Mississippi Valley, while odds are also elevated for wetter than normal conditions across much of the nation. https://t.co/Gv7URLTItg
2Some clouds and sun will be around today with temps continuing to climb into the upper 70s! Showers will push in the area late tonight and into Friday morning. #ohwx #ohiouwx
Plentiful sunshine this morning helped temperatures rapidly climb, with highs expected to reach the mid-60s now this afternoon! A warming trend will persist through the end of the week. Be sure to check our Facebook page for info on this trend! #ohwx #ohiouwx
Connection has been restored and we're back online! Expect cooler conditions today with the cold frontal passage, with cloudy skies dominating until gradual clearing begins late this afternoon. High 53. Low 36. #ohwx #ohiouwx
Website is currently down likely due to an outage from data server provider. An update will be posted when we're back online.
Tree limbs down at Ohio University following the storm that just rolled through. @NWSCharlestonWV @ScaliaLabAthens @NWSILN @ohiou
