On this West Virginia Morning, humidity and dewpoint can have a big impact on how we experience summer heat. Every week, in a segment we call Science Behind the Forecast, the Appalachia Mid South Newsroom’s Bill Burton and meteorologist Tawana Andrew break down what we know – and what we don’t – about the climate and weather in the region.
And the Allegheny Front based in Pittsburgh, a public radio program that reports on environmental issues, looks at the native, spike-covered hawthorn and how its long, sharp thorns contribute to its vulnerable status.
