Apologies for using AI, but it occasionally helps me express precisely how I feel.

Say what you want about AI, but it sometimes captures exactly how I feel about my congressman. In Virginia's 1st Congressional District? Vote him out this fall.

Tidal flooding continues at Virginia's waterfront through tomorrow. Northeast winds and the developing nor'easter make this a long duration flood. Sea level is rising from the warming climate, so these floods are getting worse. Land is also sinking in Norfolk, compounding the problem.

Don't forget to touch grass once in a while. Or in this case, water. Quietly kayaking on Swift Creek Lake yesterday — at Pocahontas State Park here in Virginia.

Post rally picture — grabbing coffee and breakfast at Urban Farmhouse in Shockoe Slip. Those of us... of a certain age... remember Kepone in the James River and the consistent summer haze over the city in the '70s and '80s. Let's not go back to that.

I might have gotten a little excited — talking about the impacts of climate change on Virginia this morning. This was at the weekly Rally to Stop The Merger (aka Ratepayer Rebellion) in front of the State Corporation Commission in Richmond. Thanks to @glenbesa.bsky.social for the invitation.

Happy that Bob Shippee and I got a chance to catch up with Delegate Lindsey Dougherty this week — to talk all things energy and environment.

Virginia friends... my buddy @glenbesa.bsky.social has invited me to speak at this week's upcoming Ratepayer Rebellion Event. We meet Thursday (9/17) morning at 8am in front of the State Corporation Commission Building (1300 East Main Street). Come by and be heard. Last week's event below.

"...more pollutants such as smog, mercury and lead — and especially more tiny airborne particles that can lodge in lungs and cause health problems, the AP analysis found. It would also mean higher emissions of greenhouse gases, driving Earth’s warming to deadlier levels." apnews.com/article/epa-...

Further in the poll, they are fishing for what media they should use — to most cost effectively reach my demographic (middle aged white guy) and spread their BS. (3/n)

Sean Sublette @subletteweather.com · 08/09/2026

The message is enticing, but when you get to the poll, it becomes painfully obvious... This is not an objective poll. This is a GOP scheme disguised as innocuous polling — the framing of the questions is steeped in a paranoid and bizarre word salad of lies and misreprentations. (2/n)

2:50pm Risk for Richmond is highest between 4-8pm, but there are signs of additional storms developing well into the night. First wave of storms already in Buckingham and Culpeper, and additional ones are firing upstream — the Culpeper storm has already produced quarter-sized hail in Luray.

Sean Sublette @subletteweather.com · 04/09/2026

2:45pm. Severe T-storm Watch until 9pm Friday for area enclosed in blue — includes Greater Richmond. Risk is especially high for damaging wind in storms as they approach late this afternoon and well into the evening. No imminent threat to Richmond, but they are rapidly blossoming upstream.

4pm Wednesday. Areas of showers and thunderstorms advancing on Richmond from the north (Culpeper to Tappahannock), and new storms popping in Hanover and King William Counties. Chance to get storms in next 1-3 hours are going up in a hurry for RVA.

For record-keeping purposes, we're using meteorological summer — the 3 hottest calendar months of the year (Jun-Aug). Obviously with temperatures in the 90s this week, classic summer is not over yet. But a good time to review as Labor Day nears.

11th hottest summer on record

25th consecutive summer hotter than 20th century average

11 of the last 12 summers more humid than average

Most humid August since 2021

Sean Sublette @subletteweather.com · 01/09/2026

Records go back to 1880. Summer is defined as meteorological summer: the 3 hottest calendar months of the year (June, July, August). Yes. It's the burning of fossil fuels — increasing the concentration of carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere.

There she is. And yes, these tropical storm names are prepared years in advance. So it is a coincidence. But yeah... I get it.

Good to visit with friends at @virginialcv.bsky.social to celebrate Delegate Betsy Carr — and her legislative work to protect our environment during the 2026 General Assembly. Bonus time catching up with Senator @scvanvalkenburg.bsky.social who has championed development of solar energy.

For my weather friends... Dewpoints are heading into the 50s for a couple of days this coming week here in Richmond. For my non-weather friends... A big drop in humidity is ahead for a couple of days this coming week here in Richmond. Either way, Sandy is happy to hear it.

A little humid, but not a bad August day... talking with voters in the Salisbury section of Chesterfield County about getting @shannontaylorva.com into Congress this fall and ousting Trump lackey Rob Wittman.

Virginia has come a long way since the drought peaked in early June (bottom map). Severe drought continues from Lynchburg to Danville, but drought has been eliminated in Greater Richmond (white shading, top map).

Big range in rainfall in RVA from yesterday evening’s storm. Most had 0.10"-0.25", but more than 1" along Hull Street Road from Woodlake to Genito Road — 1.52” near the entrance to Brandermill. Less than 0.10" in Bon Air, Lakeside, and Varina. By the way, Richmond is no longer in a drought.

Not in Richmond. It is still drier toward Charlottesville, Lynchburg, and Danville. But in RVA, we're pretty much out of it.
