Experts Predict Another Active Hurricane Season, More Impact on US
By Paul Yeager - AOL NewsThe hurricane season doesn't officially begin until June 1, but private forecasters already have issued their outlooks for the Atlantic Basin, predicting an active season and the potential for greater impact on the U.S. mainland than last year. The 2010 Atlantic hurricane season was the third most active on record in terms of the number of named storms, but the 19 tropical storms and hurricanes had little direct impact on the United States. Last year, both AccuWeather and the Tropical Meteorology Project accurately predicted the active season, but over-predicted the U.S. impact. In April ...
More Dangerous Tornado Season Expected This Year
By Paul Yeager - AOL NewsThe 2011 tornado season has started quickly, with more reports of damage from storms and twisters in the past two days than there were during all of the first two months of 2010 -- a trend likely to continue well into spring. Severe weather season, as it's often referred to by meteorologists, typically peaks during May, when meteorological conditions that lead to the development of dangerous thunderstorms are most abundant. These conditions -- including a sharp north-south temperature gradient -- have emerged early this year and, based on the expected weather pattern, will likely intensify in ...
May 21 Is Judgment Day? Harold Camping's Latest Doomsday Prediction
By Dave Thier - AOL NewsIf the "biblical" scale flooding in Australia and the mass die-off of fish, birds and bees weren't proof enough, a growing chorus of doomsayers say that they have proof that the end of days is quickly approaching. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, former civil engineer Harold Camping is one of the leading voices of the doomsday movement. After doing some number crunching based on biblical figures, Camping has apparently come up with a new and improved expiration date for the human race: May 21, 2011. Camping previously thought that the world was going to end on Sept. 6, 1994, but ...
2011 Farmers' Almanac Winter Predictions Are In
By Steven Hoffer - AOL News(Aug. 30) -- Continuing a tradition almost as reliable as the winter season itself, the "Farmers' Almanac" revealed its annual long-term weather forecast Monday, this year predicting an overall "kinder and gentler" season for the contiguous United States. For the eastern third of the country (New England down to Florida and as far west as the Mississippi River), forecasters predict "much colder-than-normal winter temperatures" -- but generally not as frigid as conditions felt last winter, which saw 49 states experience snowfall. New England in particular should be sure to bundle up, as ...
Harry Reid Tries To Sell Optimism
By Dave - Politics DailyTheHill.comSenate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said on Monday that the banking industry is "very close" to being stabilized and the nation's economy is starting to rebound."We tend to talk about the negative. ... Things are beginning to turn and I think the American people are going to feel that very soon," Reid said during an appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" show.Of course as I'm writing this the Dow is down 105 at 7260 and dropping like a rock. This is a Dow level we haven't seen since the 1997. Which means we've just given up most of the Bush and Clinton boom. Is Harry Reid seeing ...
'Pundit' Picks Heels to Lose
By James Conklin - AOL NewsJohn Harris over at CollegeFootballNews.com has compiled his week 1 "Fearless Predictions" and picked the Rutgers Scarlet Knights in a road upset over the North Carolina Tar Heels 27-24.I just don't see it happening, John. Granted Rutgers has some quality backs in Ray Rice and Brian Leonard. But you go on to predict a combined 200 yards for these two behind a "shaky Scarlet Knight offensive line" going against "Carolina's defense [that] has improved mightily." Where's the logic in that?Combine your fallacy with an undersized Rutgers defense and you've got the Heels by 10. ...
