There is the potential for damaging wind gusts, hail and flash flooding with the storms. A couple of locations could be hit with a tornado. Rain will soak much of the mid-Atlantic, while snow falls over the Upper Midwest. A wedge of cool air will hold over New England, while hot and humid air hovers over the southern Atlantic Seaboard. Gusty winds will bring dry air eastward and southward over the Plains. Rain will push inland over the Northwest.

Italian and American re - searchers made the discov- ery using Cassini, a NASA- European spacecraft still ex- ploring Saturn and its rings 17 years after its launch from Cape Canaveral. Their find- ings were announced Thurs- day. This new ocean of liquid water — as big as or even bigger than North Amer - ica's Lake Superior — is centered at the south pole of Enceladus and could en- compass much if not most of the moon. Enceladus (ehn- SEHL'-uh-duhs) is about 310 miles across. The data do not show if the ocean extends to the north pole, said the lead researcher, Luciano Iess of Sapienza University of Rome. At the very least, it's a regional sea some 25 miles deep under miles-thick ice. On Earth, it would stretch from our South Pole up to New Zealand — at the very least. Cassini's rudimentary in - struments also cannot de- termine whether the moon's ocean harbors any form of life. Another mission using more sophisticated instru - ments is needed to make that search. This latest discover y makes the interior of Ence - ladus "a very attractive po- tential place to look for life," said Cornell Univer- sity planetary scientist Jon- athan Lunine, who took part in the study. Back in 2005, Cassini de- tected a plume streaming from cracks in the south po- lar region. Scientists sus- pected these jets of salty water vapor and ice — con- taining some light organic molecules like methane — might come from a subsur- face ocean. On Thursday, they con- firmed its presence. Their findings appear in the jour- nal Science. Cassini provided gravity measurements from three close fly-bys of Enceladus from 2010 to 2012. The Dop - pler data indicated a dense material beneath the surface of the south pole, most likely liquid water. The ocean is believed to be sandwiched between miles of surface ice and a rocky core. sCiENCE Ocean found beneath ice of Saturn moon NASA, JPL, CALteCh — the ASSoCiAted PreSS this illustration provided by NASA and based on Cassini spacecra measurements shows the possible interior of Saturn's moon enceladus - an icy outer shell and a low density, rocky core with a regional water ocean sandwiched in between the two at southern latitudes. The Associated Press VANDENBERG AiR FORCE BAsE » A U.S. military weather satellite was suc- cessfully launched into or- bit early Thursday, the Air Force said. A United Launch Alli- ance Atlas V rocket carry- ing the 19th Defense Meteo- rological Satellite Program spacecraft blasted off at 7:46 a.m. PDT and quickly rose into the cold, clear sky above the launch site on the Pacific coast about 130 miles north - west of Los Angeles. About 18 minutes later, the satellite successfully separated from the upper- stage rocket. The satellite will circle the Earth in a polar orbit at an al - titude of about 525 miles. The satellite, with two primary sensors provided by Northrop Grumman, was built by Lockheed Martin. The company said signals from the satellite were con - firmed shortly after launch. DMSP satellites have been the primary provider of terrestrial and space weather information to the U.S. military for 50 years, the Air Force said. sPACE U.S. defense weather satellite launched UNited SPACe ALLiANCe, BiLL hArteNSteiN — the ASSoCiAted PreSS this image provided by the United Space Alliance shows the launch of a weather satellite, the Atlas V rocket carrying the defense Meteorological Satellite Program-19 spacecra thursday from Vandenberg Air Force Base.
