Gulf water is warmer than average for early July, with sea-surface temperatures from 84 to 88 degrees, and according to an analysis from the Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, there is no appreciable wind shear over the Gulf of Mexico that could prevent a tropical depression or storm from forming.
Student fees would go up for every University of Wisconsin System campus under a 2019-2020 budget proposal set to be voted on by the UW Board of Regents Friday.

That capability is only one among an expanding suite of remote sensing functions made possible by satellite imagery, as well as advances in computing technologies, that researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and elsewhere are using to better understand the planet’s croplands.
Quoted: “Usually we say (corn is) ’knee high by the Fourth of July’ but most of the time, corn is chest high or more by the Fourth of July in many areas of Wisconsin. That’s just not the case this year,” said Joe Lauer, agronomist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
