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.

A powerful El Niño Event is expected to develop during 2026. How powerful? Well the seasonal forecasting models are currently all over the place. So, somewhere between a Top 10 event in modern history and super-bonkers extreme crazy land. 🤔 🧪🌊

I would expect fire season across the interior West to kick into high gear quite soon, with at least 6 consecutive upcoming days or critical or near-critical fire weather (a mix of hot, dry, windy, plus some dry lightning) aligning with widespread severe to extreme drought.

english isn't for cowards. if you're not saying 'torpify,' that's a skill issue. there's no Académie Française telling you what to do. if you try to type 'pallific' and freak out when you see a little red underline, maybe you're not ready to roll with the big dogs.

Periodic reminder that Teapot Dome, the worst scandal in American history prior to Watergate, involved $9 million changing hands. That’s adjusted for inflation. This story by itself is 55500% bigger than Teapot Dome. That’s not a typo.

I'd like to introduce you all to a personal project I've been working on recently. It's called Heimdall, and it's an MRMS + ProbSevere situational awareness monitor for CONUS scale severe weather. It's got roaming, alerts, archive mode, and is fully client side.

Now that CBS has killed 60 Minutes and Colbert’s show, they’ll have more time for groundbreaking TV like Sheriff Country, Fire Country, Marshals, CIA, FBI, Boston Blue, Police Country, Fire Sheriffs and Marshal Police.

Oh my god. Jo Adell just pulled a José Canseco and had a ball hit off his head and go over the wall for a homer. TJ Rumfield's ball hit off Adell's head and ricocheted over the yellow line on Angel Stadium's right-field wall. The Angels are losing 8-0.

The Angels and Rockies are playing a hideous game of baseball tonight. There have been lots of walks, hit-by-pitches and errors and now a bullpen meltdown by the Angels. Hunter Goodman's three-run homer puts Colorado up in the 8th inning.

That was his first multi-homer game since August 27, 2024. Epic timing for his 4th of the year. Unreal comeback from the whole team. Just incredible.
