The Geminid Meteor Shower peaks Thursday and Friday of this week. The rate of shooting stars in the sky could be up to 100 per hour. This meteor shower intrigues astronomers because the origins of the meteors is not fully known.
NASA satellite data and climate models project drier conditions in the coming decades that will likely cause increased fire activity across the United States.
Although the coldest air from a storm moving our way will stay east of the Rocky Mountains, we are in store for a more dramatic swing in temperatures starting Monday.Highs for Street Fair Weekend will
