The Guardian -- World Latest |
| Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas told to expect tornadoes, hail storms and thunderstorms on Tuesday
• Oklahoma tornado – live coverage of developments
More than 50 million people across a swathe of the Great Plains states were braced for a second round of extreme weather on Tuesday, from hail storms to tornadoes, after the devastation that was visited on an Oklahoma town on Monday . The storm prediction centre of the National Weather Service in Norman, Oklahoma forecast isolated tornadoes across large parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana.
"There is obviously more wild weather taking place across the southern plains today," said Tom Kines, a meteorologist at Accuweather. "I suspect it's only going to get worse as the day wears on out there."
Moore, the suburb of Oklahoma City where at least 24 of people were killed on Monday , was unlikely to suffer another tornado, although it was in the path of a line of thunderstorms. South-eastern Oklahoma, central and north-eastern ... |

Utah forecast: Warming temperatures, snowmelt, rain and danger
|
21.5.2013 |
Salt Lake Tribune |
| by Bob Mims The Salt Lake Tribune
Published May 21, 2013 07:33AM MDT
The National Weather Service has put the western two-thirds of Utah under a Hazardous Weather Outlook advisory extending over the next week. The advisory, which took effect on Tuesday, warns that the spring snow melt and recent rainfall has swollen the region’s rivers and streams. Flows are both bone-chilling and swift, and while flooding is not anticipated the state’s waterways are “very dangerous,” forecasters say. NWS officials caution parents to closely monitor the activities of children dur... ... |

The Guardian -- World Latest |
| Ice Lab tour sheds light on weird and wonderful buildings that allow humans to thrive in world's coldest place
It is no coincidence that many of the buildings in the first exhibition on architecture in Antarctica, shaped like caterpillars or icebergs, on stilts or stubby legs, will look like science-fiction illustrations – the storms, blizzards, extremes of temperature, darkness and howling winds they have been designed to withstand are so extreme that conditions have been likened to those on Mars.
The British Council is to launch Ice Lab, the first major international touring exhibition on buildings designed to allow human beings live, work, and relax safely in the coldest place on earth.
Vicky Richardson, head of architecture and design at the council, said the new wave of Antarctic research stations showed great inventiveness in design and engineering. In the same way that scientists from around the world collaborate in Antarctica, these buildings are made possible by co-operation ... |

Sandy’s legacy may include better hurricane forecasting

20.5.2013 |
Seattle Times: Nation & World |
| An infusion of Sandy-related dollars from Congress will help the National Weather Service upgrade two supercomputers that are used in virtually all U.S. weather predictions. That, in turn, could close what some have called an embarrassing gap between the primary U.S. and European computer models. |
