		The Storm Prediction Center says that there is a MODERATE RISK of severe thunderstorms on Thursday and Thursday night for the eastern two-thirds of Illinois and southeastern Wisconsin (south and east of a Dubuque, IA to Madison to Green Bay line).

	Freeze Protection Publication: Weather Terminology
		Energy radiating from the soil surface as well as plants is lost to space (as on clear nights) or absorbed or reflected by water vapor (as in clouds) and water.
		This is important to remember because actual air temperature at the soil surface or on crop beds (such as strawberries) may easily be several degrees colder than at a height of five feet on calm, clear nights.
		However, measurements from remote weather stations in the state and from helicopters used for freeze protection have shown strong inversions of 6 to 8 degrees at 50 to 60 feet and 8 to 14 degrees at 100 to 200 feet.

		The Severe Weather Patterns unit consists of a series of related lessons that form a comprehensive study of dangerous weather patterns in the United States.
		As part of this unit, local weather data is collected daily and posted to a collaborative weather site on the Web, and the students develop (or review) a severe weather action plan for their school.
		Following the first five lessons, a special severe weather awareness day is planned where students present their research reports, along with their action plan and any other associated products (models, Web-pages, etc.) to the rest of the class/school.

	Welcome to Florida Coastal School of Law
		Florida Coastal School of Law will close because of severe weather when normal operation would pose a danger to students, staff and faculty while on campus or would prevent large numbers of them from coming to campus or returning safely to their homes in the immediate surrounding area.
		During severe weather emergency periods, such as when a hurricane warning has been declared for Duval County, the Dean of the Law School may close the school and cancel classes.
		If the Dean determines that the weather conditions in Duval County do not necessitate the cancellation of classes, but students in surrounding areas or states have been significantly affected by the severe weather and are not, therefore, able to attend classes, those absences will be handled on a case-by-case basis.

		Wind (or sea) waves are generated by the local prevailing wind and vary in size according to the length of time a particular wind has been blowing, the fetch (distance the wind has blown over the sea) and the water depth.
		The Bureau's HF radio fax service transmits a range of weather charts and warning summaries on a 24-hour schedule which can be obtained from the Bureau's Radio Fax Schedule page or by phoning one of the Bureau's capital city offices.
