National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) released the Spring Outlook last week discussing temperature, precipitation and flooding trends expected during the upcoming season. NOAA forecasters predict widespread flooding this spring, but do not expect it to be as severe or prolonged overall as the historic floods in 2019. https://www.climate.gov/news-features/videos/us-flood-and-climate-outlook-spring-2020 | NOAA Climate.Gov

Researchers with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), known as "hurricane hunters," faced severe turbulence as they flew through the eye of Hurricane Milton on Tuesday. The pilots flew in their aircraft, named "Miss Piggy," to collect data on the storm and gather data that can improve forecasts. Forecasters say Hurricane Milton is an "extremely powerful hurricane" that is expected to make landfall on the west coast of Florida Wednesday evening, according to NBC News. | Tod
