About 20% of the air is oxygen, which is what we breathe to live.
StormTRACKER Meteorologist John Wheeler discusses a turn toward milder weather.
Blue rays are much shorter and are absorbed and re-emitted by molecules of gas, scattering the blue light.
The rain wasn't widespread enough to end a drought
The official total was 3.16 inches, but there were gauges with more than 4 inches.
It is recommended that you use a gauge with at least a three-inch diameter opening.
John Wheeler, chief meteorologist at Fargo-based TV station WDAY, addressed the U.S. Drought Monitor map during a broadcast on Thursday, saying “it really is getting dry out there.”
Rain reflects the radar beam differently in different atmospheric conditions and situations so there is no way to assign a color to an amount.
In our region, the longest runs of stone-dry weather on record have occurred in fall and winter and not summer.
The average daily mean temperature in July was cooler than average in Fargo and Grand Forks.
