I just realized that a decent part of Amarillo is under a Tornado Warning, Severe Thunderstorm Warning, and Flash Flood Warning at the same time.

That moderate risk of excessive rainfall is right over an area where several @mesonet.org sites haven't seen 0.25" of rain in over 55 days. Heavy rain on dry, packed ground is a recipe for flash flooding!

Excessive rainfall plagues the Desert Southwest this week, threatening the region with widespread flash flooding. The addition of tropical moisture from Hurricane Polo will exacerbate conditions in the southwest and across much of the Central U.S. through the next few days.

They want another couple of years in power, eh? Truth is, it’ll take years to un-F things they’ve already effed in OK & that’s IF we achieve political balance by electing more Dems. If Republican rule continues, things may NEVER get fixed. Let’s make this a NOvember to remember!

Whether you’re on the road or camping, will you be ready for sudden flash flooding? Make sure to enable Wireless Emergency Alerts on your phone. If flooding occurs while you’re outdoors, immediately get to higher ground, and NEVER enter flood waters in a vehicle or on foot. weather.gov/safety/flood

Flash flooding can escalate quickly. Heavy rain can lead to sudden flash floods, whether you're on the road or at a campground. Will you be ready? Set up a way to get weather warnings on your phone. When alerted to a flash flood, get to higher ground immediately. Never enter flood waters in a vehicle or on foot.

Meanwhile, Hurricane Nolo could still bring torrential rain to parts of Hawaii even as the storm edges away from the state.

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…?

The Trump White House official app is fraught with trackers. The White House app covertly collects excessive user data and shares it with third-party trackers while sidestepping federal security rules. For example, the app includes scripts to monitor a user's location several times per minute.

Considerable flash flooding is possible across portions of New Mexico & West Texas today into mid-week. Flash flooding impacts are particularly possible near burn scars, low-water crossings & areas of complex terrain. Avoid travel through already flooded & vulnerable areas.
