Tropical Storm Fay's 39 advisories and ~4 ACE units has to be a record for futility, right?

There’s a lot to unpack here, not the least of which is that the benchmarks being measured against here aren’t that important? Oh good, “the market” beats the NBM on a high temperature forecast at day ahead, evening before, and morning of. Like…?

As always, I had some thoughts on how this storm was messaged, which I share here. But more importantly, folks in interior Texas (away from Houston) need to watch this forecast for rain very, very closely this week.

On to the next book, the classic Enron write up. I figure with some AI company inevitably going the way of this, it should be a timely read.

Depending on where you live, this storm has been an overhyped bust or pretty nasty. Classic case of "your mileage may vary."

Some of the stronger peak wind gusts so far from the nor'easter include 63 mph in Sea Bright, NJ and 60 mph in Stony Brook, LI.

It's noticeably less humid across much of the Houston area this morning, and it will stay that way today and tomorrow. But what about the chances of a front next week? Matt diagnoses the potential and what it could mean in today's post!

Less humid in Houston today but still some heat to get through before a chance at a front next week

In brief: A humidity front pushed through overnight, which will allow today to be significantly less humid and a couple degrees cooler. Humidity does return heading toward next week. While we are c…

What a mess trying to pin down what exactly this coastal storm will do. While the impacts probably won't be drastically different despite varied tracks, this does keep questions persisting on specifics around rainfall, wind gusts, and coastal flooding severity.

Rep. Ashley Hinson, R-Iowa, who's running for Senate, says the Iran war "needs to be brought to a successful and immediate end." A messaging pivot: Hinson voted NO six times on House resolutions directing Trump to end the Iran war — including as recently as last week.

After some locally heavy rain south of Houston on Thursday, we begin to revert back to strong late summer heat through early next week. Maybe we can disrupt the party a bit later next week, but @mattlanza.bsky.social says it does not exactly look cool. Details below!
