There could be more tornadoes, hail, and a storm system that could impact from Dallas to Milwaukee

High-Velocity Storms and Fires: Multiple tornadoes, hail, and fires reported in Colona and Oswego

More than 45 million people from Dallas to Milwaukee are under risk of severe weather Tuesday as another powerful storm system takes aim, threatening to batter states still reeling from deadly tornadoes.

The risk of tornados, hail, and other weather phenomena is unknown in many states but there is an increased fire danger as dry brush, low humidity, and strong winds combine to make the situation ripe for fires.

At least five tornadoes were reported Tuesday, including two in Iowa and three in Illinois, where several buildings, including a gas station, were damaged in the town of Colona and multiple semi-trucks blown over along the I-88.

Large hail was the most notable impact. There were over 100 hail reports mainly across Iowa, Illinois, Missouri and Michigan Tuesday. Davenport, Iowa, was pelted with 4-inch hail – just larger than a softball – while Oswego received smaller, baseball-sized hail.

“Cold temperatures will feel even colder due to the strong winds, and life-threatening wind chills below zero are forecast in the northern Plains,” the National Weather Service said.

“Some April snowfall records will be challenged in the Dakotas and northwest Minnesota, and the highest totals may locally exceed two feet,” the National Weather Service said.

Heavy snow and strong winds will also combine to create widespread blizzard conditions with near zero visibility, making travel dangerous to impossible.

Stay off the roads if you do not need to drive. It’s dangerous for you and emergency crews. If you are stuck, crews may not be able to reach you.

We used network propagation98 approach to integrate GWAS summary statistics and cell cluster-specific gene-based scores for prioritizing disease-relevant and cell cluster-specific subunits of our transcription factor network. We included genes expressed in more than 10% of the cells within each cluster. The cell clusters specificity scores were created by the same process of propagation of differential expression-based marker genes.

There are millions of phones, so you can map the ionosphere

Phone data could reduce GPS errors by 10-20% in some areas, and more in underserved regions, said Ningbo Wang, an atmospheric physicist at the aerospace information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Wang’s analysis showed that the noise in phone measurements has a standard deviation of around 70 TECU, more than 30 times larger than the measurement noise for traditional monitoring stations.

Modelling the consequences of the Australian megafires for biodiversity using a t-test with denominator degrees of freedom adjusted for random effects. The dataset was divided into two periods, Year 1 and Year 2. To evaluate the effects between years, the dataset was divided into two periods: Year 1 and Year 2. We used the time gaps in survey dates to maximise the data.
