Nolo crossed the International Date Line and entered the Western Pacific over the weekend, being reclassified from a hurricane to Typhoon Nolo. Nolo is the equivalent of a Category 3 storm, and is forecast to remain over the open ocean as it continues westward.

The central pressure of Hurricane Polo is measured to be 889 millibars. That means more than 11% of the typical atmosphere at sea level is missing from the storm's center. It is the second strongest storm on record in the eastern Pacific Ocean, and one of the strongest in Earth's modern history.

diesel's rise hasn't quite hit a peak just yet- GasBuddy data showing prices now stand at $6.514/gal nationally, up slightly from $6.508/gal yesterday, but the momentum should stop in the next couple days before modest decreases start.

this talk of “running out” of diesel is THE madness. the U.S. is sitting on 4.08 BILLION gallons of (<15ppm) distillates today, which is up from 4.05 billion a wk ago. just bc a few stations have issues does not mean a nationwide crisis is brewing. now sit down & relax plz.

its circulating that Costco is limiting motor oil to 2-per-customer/week. but that's a 5-quart 2-pack, so 10 quarts weekly. unless you're Hertz, most households don't need to worry. prices keep climbing as base oils from Middle East refiners stay constrained.

There is finally a potential for a hurricane or strong tropical cyclone east of North America — but it’s in the Mediterranean. There’s been a growing signal among ensembles for a medicane, or subtropical/tropical cyclone in the Mediterranean, that may develop this week.
