Meteorologist - UNCO '22. Denver sports fan. Loyal Rockies fan. He/him.
pinned post!
For my non-meteorologist friends who may not get why the gutting and privatization of NOAA/NWS are so concerning, keep in mind: this is what we work day in and day out to prevent. These layoffs cannot stand.

Models struggling with this weekend's setup as they resolve a possible split low...but here's what we know: 1) Much colder this weekend 2) At least some mountain snow Fri/Sat 3) Denver most likely avoids rain or snow, but can't rule it out (better chance next week)

This shutdown is abhorrent by any stretch of the imagination. We all collectively deserve so much better, especially those being severely impacted by this nonsense. But โcarrot and stickโ to the nth degree is going to bite the Dems so hard on these proposed terms, and itโll be deserved.

I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave. It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.

Emmanuel Clase was due to make $6 million in 2026. He had club options in 2027 and 2028, both worth $10 million. Heโs allegedly thrown his career away and is now facing prison time just to make an extra $12,000.

More from Passan: โThe 23-page indictment against Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz lays out the alleged scheme for the pitchers to intentionally throw balls so bettors could wager on pitches to be balls or strikes. It started, prosecutors say, as early as May 2023 with Clase and later included Ortiz.โ

I saw someone on my timeline shaming someone else for posting about college football in a time like this. Folks, if we're going to survive a time like this, we're going to need to avoid burning out from an attitude of 24/7 vigilance and constant outrage. Let people find joy where they can, please.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

"Show up. It's their job" The gall sometimes. We're all short 5 weeks pay, and the House continues their extended, paid vacation. In any functional government, if you don't have the votes to pass your agenda you compromise to get the important pieces. You don't take your ball and go home.

A slight risk (level 2 out of 5) of severe storms is possible today into this evening, across parts of the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys. Isolated large hail and severe wind are the main hazards. If you live in these highlighted areas be sure to stay up to date with the latest forecast at

The Broncos do this funny thing where they remember how to move the ball forward down the field within the last 5 minutes of the game (also their defense is legitimately the best in the NFL)
