On the Definition of a Heat Wave
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a set of definitions of heat stress based on the criteria for heat stress forecasts developed by the National Weather Service (NWS) and issued watches or warnings when thresholds of daytime high and nighttime low heat index (Hi) values are exceeded for at least two consecutive days.

The Diurnal Variation of Thunderstorm Activity in the United States
TL;DR: Starting times of thunderstorms for 450 stations in the conterminuos United States for a 25-year period were analyzed using harmonic analysis techniques as mentioned in this paper, which indicated that the country can be divided into nine thunderstorm regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
