I’ve made the trip from Universal City to LAX many times, and I’m not sure it’s ever been the same way twice. Today’s route went through downtown and is on the 110 to the 105. Nice view of DTLA on the way in. (Pardon the reflection!)

Can confirm … Radar + lightning from 9pm That’s a spicy thunderstorm

Should I look to cut the smaller ones to prevent competition or just leave ‘em alone? Pics 1 and 2 are the same area; pic 3 is a different area. (2/2)

When you've had the driest start to a year since records began, a forecast like this is enough to bring your local meteorologist, hydrologist, climatologist, farmer, river keeper, and water manager to tears. Will this end the drought? Nope. Would it make a nice dent? You betcha.

If you're planning to tailgate this evening, keep an eye to the sky. Good chance for showers/thunderstorms as we get into the evening hours.

The atmosphere doing its best to blow 2025 on out of here. Sustained winds 35-40 kts with gusts to 55 kts. Fun!

1 bowl, 2 bowls, 3 bowls, 4 bowls, 5 bowls. Never in doubt. My 7yo was LOCKED IN watching.

Tonight's 37 is the second-coldest kickoff temp for a Wolfpack football game going back as far as 1954.

Used today’s 50th anniversary of the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald (and the song of the same name) to workshop how to produce a TikTok/Instagram-style video with my media meteorology class. Kinda wish I’d just told them to run with this for this week’s assignment - some really neat ideas.

NC State has never lost on this field. (The playing surface was replaced after the Chris Brown concert last month.)

Wolfpack Nation! Do not let the warmth of the afternoon sun fool you! Temperatures will CRASH at sunset, leaving us in the lower 50s at kickoff and deep into the 40s by the time the game is over. Stay warm! Bring your (red!) jackets/coats and your hot chocolate money.

Beautiful sunset takeoff out of BOS this evening after a successful NBCU Weather Summit, connecting with and learning from my colleagues. Until next time!

A high of 95 (!!) today, growing indication of a sloppy/wet weekend, and the chance for tropical shenanigans next week? Welcome to September in North Carolina.

Overall, a successful day with a Pack win, a forecast that held long enough to get the game in, and travels that have me ready for #nwas25. The travels were interesting, though. Can’t say as I’ve ever been on a commercial flight that did anything like this:

My alma mater won earlier today, so no help for you there. MSU is holding their own with a top-15 team attm.

And we’re under way at Carter-Finley! Sunny and upper 80s for the fans, 90° on the field at kickoff.

Nate Johnson @natejohnson.org · 06/09/2025

Hey, Pack fans! Remember how nice the weather was for last week? Yeah, today is not that. Lots of sun, heat, and humidity. Slather on the suncreen and stay hydrated — you know, with WATER!

Nate Johnson @natejohnson.org · 05/09/2025

Hey, Bluesky hive mind! I have a graph *labeling* question for you. Is it better to have the month label aligned with the vertical line — ostensibly to mark the beginning of the month? Or have the month label between the lines (showing the period between lines is that month)?

Nate Johnson @natejohnson.org · 01/09/2025

Seriously. This is the weather on Labor Day. In North Carolina. W😍w!

Nate Johnson @natejohnson.org · 28/08/2025

Pinch yourselves, Pack fans. Here's the final forecast for tonight's Pack Football home opener at Carter-Finley Stadium. Not sure it gets better than this at any point during the season, much less in August.

Just found a new "flying toasters" screen saver clone that works on MacOS (after Sequoia broke the one I had been using for years). This does not fix everything that is wrong in the world today, but it's a tiny win and I shall take it.

Nate Johnson @natejohnson.org · 27/08/2025

Heading to Carter-Finley tomorrow for NC State vs ECU? You're gonna LOVE the weather. If you're tailgating, make sure to wear sunscreen — it won't be August hot, but the sun is still August strong.

A balloon is caught in the airflow from one of our A/C vents. Smudge the cat is confused by this, but to her credit, has not popped the balloon.

Excited to share what my colleague, @chasecain.bsky.social, has been working on for the last few weeks. This new podcast explores climate change - and the first interview is former CA gov Arnold Schwarzenegger! Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p... Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/2ntpfSP...

Seems to me some of them came in late but most of them are there now? I think TAE and SHV are notably absent but most of the other SE stations eventually reported.

Mid 50s dew points in August? Why, yes, I will hang out in the hammock.

After the brutal July we had (warmest July on record at RDU), this would an utterly fantastic way to spend the first week-plus of August.

Travel today could not have gone better, doubly so considering the circumstances. Afternoon storms rolling into NYC, lots of cancelled flights. Somehow, we got out, around, and to our destination *early*. Bravo & thx to all involved, including a weather forecasters, dispatch, ATC, & crew.
