Maybe this will allow some folks to take a breath and get on with their lives. Good work takes time.

Got a phone call late afternoon on Tuesday during my visit to our Wallops Island, VA, ozonesonde site that NWS was immediately halting the 2x daily soundings there (WAL). Indeed they have disappeared from the map starting 1 October: www.spc.noaa.gov/exper/soundi...

This is why we can’t have nice things. The Eagles are absolutely infuriating.

Ok then.

I’m not exactly comforted by the fact that every storm that has formed in this otherwise “quiet” season has gone absolutely bonkers. We’re on borrowed time.

I am loving these ocean-churners going nuts. Have at it, Humberto. Cool those SSTs and yank away future Imelda while you’re at it

The Twins’ James Outman is hitting a buck thirty-five? Ouch. That’s a curse

We love the big ACE fish storms don’t we folks

I guess my biggest concern would be if some Fujiwhara tomfoolery slows the storm and greatly prolongs heavy rain and surge along the coast next week

This is a bad idea. Call the pointless game

Imagine being touted as boy genius HC for years just to get constantly beat by the dumbest, most annoying idiot you’ve ever met.

Oh I see the Jets think they’re original. GO BIRDS

Oh boy that’s a big one. 49.2°C/120.6°F is not easy this time of year.

Tom Brady, bereft in the press box 🦅

This Dallas-NYG game is possibly the worst I have ever seen. Just atrocious football

It’s been a week sitting on the sidelines, but I have to pop in to admire the engagement bait quote ratio on this. It’s an all-timer

Is Justin Tucker no longer kicking for the Ravens? What happened? Does Royal Farms and Spa know about this?

Massive day for Philly Haters today. Eagles already took care of business against the Cowboys, Chiefs faltered, nothing on the line but hate.

I’m a big believer in The Great Filter theory. We are far more likely to destroy ourselves than even establish a presence on Mars.

Some punt p0rn from Michigan State

Baseball is cruel. You can’t run out the clock and you have to throw strikes. Oh well

I guess LWX is just hitting a bunch of smoke in clear air mode

89° launch angle

Downloaded the last two years of my household electricity usage and cost data and yikes

The Float commercial made me ill

SEASON OVER

ABSOLUTE SCENES "Grimsby have beaten Manchester United... in the most dramatic circumstances"

With just 0.20" of rain at DCA this month, it seems probable that this will be the driest month of August since Washington DC area records began in 1871. 2nd place right now is 1962 with 0.55" of rain

Solid outing by Alvarado

Erin joined a long list of recent Category 5s. Are they happening more often? www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2025...

Strong Drake Quake

Hanging curveball crushed

We are witnessing one of the most insane anomalies in world climatic history: Vize Island at 79 lat. hasn t dropped below freezing for 35 consecutive days. Among dozens of thousands of world weather stations it's just the THIRD to record its hottest day in history while raining

Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility and NASA Wallops successfully launched from Fort Sumner, NM, with our prototype optical ozonesonde instrument this morning! It will float at about 35-37 km altitude for 3-4 hours and land somewhere in AZ. Track it here: towerfts.csbf.nasa.gov/Maps/ConvGps...

Wonder if Erin is/will get some help with outflow from the jet streak over the NE US before it experiences a significant increase in shear

***third lowest for 1980-2024. These are all best track points for 1980-2024 Atlantic storms at Cat 2 vmax and "HU" designation (i.e. not post-tropical).

11am: 95kt, 941hpa. NHC actually used the outer wind max and a larger surface reduction factor. Third lowest for 95kts, 2.77 standard deviations below the mean (962.3). Might make the plot nicer tomorrow after work. Btw I have no idea what that 998hpa 85kt storm is. I'm pretty sure my code is ok..

Pretty impressive deepening of Erin of about 7mb in 90 minutes. Suggests central pressure of ~941mb, although because of the storm’s size the core winds may not respond much, or quickly

Hurricane Erin’s substantial wind-field expansion over the past four days.

Don’t eat the radioactive shrimp

It is probably not 122°F in the outer bands of Erin

Tonight I’ll be losing sleep watching recon observe Da Big Dumper strengthening into a historically massive fish storm

Ok now what

At the moment it looks like Erin is trying to wrap convection around a relatively tiny eye? I thought it was readying to go mega-eye but who knows…

Time-lapsed the shelf rolling into the Annapolis area

Latest recon into Erin noped out?
