This may just be me but the notch in the line from Newtown Grant to Yardley/Ewing looks a lil… suspect to not be tor warned, let alone even have a tor possible tag.

Did you know air temperature can actually feel hotter than what the thermometer reads? The Heat Index is a measure of how hot it really feels when relative humidity is factored in. Find out how hot it feels by using the chart or the Heat Index calculator found at: weather.gov/safety/heat-index
The National Weather Service (NWS) Heat Index Chart. A large grid crosses air temperature (80°F to 110°F on the top horizontal axis) with relative humidity (40% to 100% on the left vertical axis) to calculate the "apparent temperature" or how hot it feels.

The background is a color gradient that shifts from yellow on the top-left to deep red on the bottom-right as heat and humidity rise. For example, at 90°F and 70% humidity, the heat index is 106°F.

Text on the right reads: "The Heat Index measures how hot it actually feels outside. The Heat Index level that is considered dangerous can vary by person and region." Fine print at the bottom states: "The Heat Index is a product of NOAA’s National Weather Service (NWS)."

Aaaand tornado emergency. Incredibly fascinating supercell, yet horrifying. It’s taking full advantage of the volatile instability available.

Glad I’ve been tracking this cell since it initially entered Illinois. But good GOD that is nasty. Very defined debris ball too. Please please seek shelter if you’re northeast of this cell. #ilwx

I’m a renewables meteorologist with a focus on solar energy. I love hearing this news. Solar energy is clean energy year round! ☀️

There you have it: solar is now generating more energy than coal. That didn’t stop Trump from lighting $700 million taxpayer dollars on fire to try and prop up the coal industry. But the proof is there. Solar is cheaper, cleaner, more reliable.

I was sent this image and was asked about my own opinion on the “supposed mega nino”. 1st off, holy clickbait. Not all strong El Niño events are the same. 2nd off, are the “model update heart palpitations” in the room with us right now?The spring predictability barrier exists for a reason. 🤦🏼‍♀️

My health anxiety seems a little better about the whole “complex cyst in my boob needs a biopsy” type situation today. Just gotta keep myself distracted in the meantime until I get my official answer in a week. In the meantime show me your pets/fur babies 💕

Mammogram and ultrasound today shows I have a bilobed complex cyst of ovoid shape but they want to do a biopsy on it. Which will be next week. They told me my cancer risk is low but I still cried in my car.

Well this is fun. Yesterday afternoon I felt a pretty big lump on the northern quadrant of my right breast. My heart SANK. Without hesitation I called up my PCP immediately and they were able to fit me in early this morning. Now I’m waiting to schedule my mammogram and ultrasound. Prayers. 🙏🏼

During my hiatus: - was converted from contractor to full time permanent several months early AND got a raise - recovered from a back injury and placed 2nd at NC State Champs during a historic snowstorm - thought I was back in NJ with b2b weekends of wintry weather extravaganza and 20:1 snow ratios

The House just passed the One Big "Beautiful" Bill. Here's six key takeaways from REPEAT Project's rapid analysis of the bill on what passage means for U.S. energy costs, investment in new electricity supplies, and greenhouse gas emissions. #OBBB 🔌💡

They say it can’t be done, but here we are, California is generated 106% of California’s entire state electricity demand from renewables. California has a population bigger that 154 other countries around the world. It’s the 4th largest economy, in the world. Let that sink in. #energysky #greensky

We always gotta throw a little powerlifting into the mix. Yesterday evening I hit a massive MASSIVE milestone at 352.7 lbs/160 kilos. Next goal is 3 reds at 375, then to the big bad 400. #scientistswholift

Between my s/o still unable to find a new job since November, us coming short on rent and utilities this month, and everything else going on, I don’t know how much longer I can take this. It genuinely feels like a nightmare I can’t get out of.

Do you ever make a very necessary yet expensive purchase for your business then feel buyers remorse right after or is it just me?
