“Stop talking about climate change so much!” “Why don’t you talk about climate change more often?!” I get both sides… when should it be mentioned? Check out the latest Climate A to Zee: youtu.be/RTjy1g_bIMM?...

Did you think spring was cool? Think again… Several sites like Houston & Raleigh had their warmest spring on record (March, April, May), several more had their top 5 warmest. None had coolest or top 5 coolest. These are based on sites with at least 70 years of data (most have more than a century).

Blizzard doesn’t have anything to do with HOW MUCH SNOW but rather the wind/visibility ! Blizzard warnings for 6 states today. Stay safe everyone!

NASA, NOAA, and climate sites do adjust data. Why is data adjusted at all? 1. Resolution 2. Urban Heat Island 3. Location 4. Tech Data is NOT manipulated to make it look worse. It just is worse on a scale of warming. tinyurl.com/562f7epa Thanks to @gingerzee.bsky.social for breaking it down.

Reality check this weekend:

Subzero wind chills possible all the way into north Texas for the midweek! Northern plains has that chill that can cause frostbite to exposed skin in as little as 5-10 minutes! Be careful and stay warm everyone.

SEVERE WEATHER WEDNESDAY: Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, now an elevated risk of severe storms with tornadoes possible this afternoon and evening. Prattville, Selma, and Montgomery, AL; Harrisburg and Laurel, MS all included.

DAILY RECORD HEAT! Atlanta is one of the cities that could see daily record high temperatures today. Also, here’s a list of some of the records from Wednesday, Houston, Grand Junction, CO etc

Los Angeles had more rain than they’ve had in ~9 months. Next few hours critical for burn scars (#hughesfire) Above 3000 ft snow making mountain passes (I-5, I-15) unsafe. If Phoenix does not get measurable rain , could break all-time longest stretch without,(160 days, 1972).

Tonight through Wednesday LIFE THREATENING winds Strongest wind event since 2011; north/ northeast offshore flow will take down trees and power lines, Burbank, Thousand Oaks, Simi Valley, Glendora all in extreme risk with mountain wave winds (amazing mixing of upper level winds down to surface).

Hi January. This isn’t record cold but a solid 10-20 deg sub-average January morning for sure for many folks. These are wind chills. Stay warm all:

pretty screen grab of me doing my promos😂🤪 here in DC . Kansas City had their biggest snowstorm since 1993 and now Washington DC is trying to at least beat out one back in 2019. Stay safe!

Sunday:Topeka and Kansas City among those in blizzard warning. Everyone else in winter storm warning watch for snow and ice depending on your location. I’m heading into the storm and see you on @GMA Monday!

WINDY JAN 2 in the northeast: Wind alerts for gusts up to 55 mph! Stay safe everyone.

Happy new year! See you on GMA - unless you live in Raleigh, Detroit, Cleveland, Twin Cities, Fresno, San Fransisco, Dallas, Seattle and Pittsburgh. Then you will see me before 😉 anyone see these promos on their local abc?

Took some time off social media/forecasting to get some time w/family. It appears we got in the warmth just in time to get slapped next week w/some serious chill. Maybe I need to petition for a Bay Area story?🤪 See you Thursday on @goodmorningamerica.bsky.social and HAPPY ALMOST 2025!

Single digit windchills Sunday and Monday in NYC. 40s Orlando. That’s a serious front! But Christmas to new years becomes a much warmer story for most of the nation!

Wednesday-Friday HEAT! Las Vegas still hasn’t had rain! Second driest stretch on record and tomorrow could have a record high temperature! Same for Phoenix through Friday.

The Twin Cities has still not had a storm bring their first 1” plus of snowfall… That changes tomorrow! They are nearly a foot below average for the season so far. Coldest air of the season this weekend into early next week Great Lakes & Northeast! #snowdeficit #snow

Alberta clipper coming Wednesday into early Thursday from Great Lakes to northeast. Windy! Gusts 30-50 mph. Snow/rain right at the coast but additional snow w/more lake effect late week! Called that because it forms near Alberta and like a clipper ship- moves fast.

We just had a story about the "new reality of retail" because RETURNS will no longer be free. I wanted to add: reducing returns by not making it free also has a positive environmental impact since 25% of online returns go to a landfill: penntoday.upenn.edu/news/how-con...
