This Invasive Insect Spreading Quickly Across Region, Nation, New Study Warns
A foul-smelling, invasive insect commonly referred to as a “stink bug” could become a more frequent sight due to climate change, according to a new study published in Pest Management Science. Scientists used data collected over a three-year period from 17 states to try and forecast how changing weather patterns might create a more welcoming environment for the brown marmorated stink bug. Using several potential climate scenarios, modeling found that changing weather could increase suitable habitats for the insect in the United States by 70 percent, researchers found. Areas most likely to b…

Start Of Fall Will Be Followed By Change In Weather Pattern: Here's Five-Day Forecast

A warmup is in store for the area that will continue through week's end. Meanwhile, high pressure centered across northern New England and extending south into the mid-Atlantic states is resulting in a dry air mass in place. Tuesday will be sunny with the high temp…

Tropical Storm Chris Expected To Become Hurricane: Latest Path Projection
Tropical Storm Chris, situated off the Carolina Coast, is gaining strength and expected to become a hurricane later in the day Monday, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said. The storm, with maximum sustained winds of 60 miles per hour, is not expected to increase from Category 1 hurricane level.
