Hey if you track records this weekend here’s the skinny, the straight dope, the skilly: www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/monit... This is heavily vetted from standardized observing networks, which means:

As technologies hurl our data into more complexities at dizzying speeds, I’ve come to adore even more the most beautiful score of poetry in our work. Once in a while, we get a call or note, sometimes even a low-tech letter from an adoptee. Friend, me share my appreciation for that with you. 1/n

My work just activated AI tools across the Google workplace. The email one isn’t particularly bright but I’ve delighted myself with “rephrase this as loreena mckennitt” an absurd number of times.

This Friday, July 4th, 2025, tens of millions of immigrants will set forth making America smarter, stronger, safer, cleaner, and more beautiful. This makes July 4, 2025 the same as the 20 thousand Fridays that preceded it.

Fear not, Bluesky. Oklahomans have grown up with the pressures and responsibilities of being the cultural and scientific center of the universe. We will gracefully accept the mantle of being the center of the athletic world.

People who endure my stories hopefully catch the theme that acts of care (caring is an act not a feeling) are generational gifts that grow over time and roll through generations like true love and compound interest. @locoako.bsky.social, this is beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

Let me share how the weather helped me today. It’s been a bad week. Today’s weather is post-frontal. Not quite cold. Not close to warm. Windy. Crappy clouds. I went a different way to the Y, where i “work out” with all my fellow oldsters. I stopped to get a Gatorade (also out of routine) and 1/n

Thoughts and prayers to any poor forecaster in GSP trying to do today’s NW flow mountain snow. Imagine giving a twitchy six year old a spasmodic water hose and trying to account for every drop in your yard. Except the kid is sfc winds, the yard is mountains and the water is heavy snow.

It's been 100 days. Helene will be the most damaging inland flooding in US history. We had many distractions since, but the wound is still open. Your help, your taxes, your love, all helped this region cope. But there's a long way to go. Please consider the southern Appalachians. Thank you. 1/n

Hey if you like weather, whimsy, wheat and wind, this here is an account for you: this mesonet is the princess of the prairie, the sentinel of the steppe, the recon of the rangeland. I’ve heard tell that a guy in Asheville named his kid after two of its stations. I can share that story too

10 years ago, I co-authored a how-rare-was-this-warm-streak paper with statisticians: "Warm streaks in the U.S. temperature record: What are the chances?" I recommended a follow-up article: "Three of six authors were named Peter: What are the chances?" It fell flat. Statisticians: get funnier.

Hello friends. I appreciate the active debunking of multiple conspiracy stories about weather “control” and relief agencies. These injure the vulnerable by undermining faith in the very institutions most capable of helping them. May I share with you something about the word “debunk”? 1/

Tampa Bay successfully winning through transition from Tom Brady to Baker Mayfield is impressive. One of them is an all-timer, a great competitor and arguably the greatest QB of all-time; the other one had a distinguished career with the Patriots. To be able to win with both is impressive.
