Planting the seed of fire safety as we head into #Harvest2025 at Nutrien with this Weather Safety Update - consider sharing with your crews ahead of what could be a season of dangerous fire weather conditions from the Midwest into the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.

The Epstein Cover-Up at the FBI Inside the chaotic review process of the Epstein and Maxwell files at the Bureau

EXCLUSIVE: Not only does an Excel spreadsheet of Trump mentions in the Epstein files exist, but so do training videos explaining how to flag the files for Trump mentions. Plus, the number of people who had access is larger than previously known. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-epstei...

Blue states need to immediately pass a law directing state law enforcement officers to detain anyone performing an arrest or detention in public while masked or failing to visibly display identifying credentials, for the purpose of protecting public safety. And yes, they can do so.

In urban areas, yes, but in many rural areas no. Started becoming popular 20 years ago. Three of five houses in our little "subdivision" are running geothermal. I love it.

Howdy folks,
As the most of the data and tools used by the office are currently no longer available, services provided by the Office of the Texas State Climatologist will be drastically impacted to discontinued due to the laps of federal funding for the NOAA Regional Climate Centers.

Oh no! Several of the Regional Climate Centers have had their funding lapse through DOC/NOAA. These institutes are critical for connecting weather and climate data and services to local communities across the United States.

Spread the word to drive attention and support!

NOAA Weather Prediction Center Excessive Rainfall Outlooks all valid for 2-3 April 2025. The outlooks were very consistent in their location and the observed flooding occurred essentially right in the locations where the outlooks showed the highest probabilities.

We often (rightly) see maps like these showing how good SPC convective outlooks are; let's also give some kudos to WPC for some outstanding excessive rainfall outlooks for this event. Especially impressive are the day 5 outlooks, giving advance notice of prolonged excessive rainfall and flood risk.

The National Lightning Safety Council Reiterates Stance on Outdated Outdoor Safety Messaging Educators and weather broadcasters urged to stop citing outdated lightning safety recommendation known as the "crouch"

Thunderstorm season is ramping up.

If you're outside and a thunderstorm approaches, quickly move to a safe place!

The lightning crouch hasn't been recommended in 17 years, so don't use it...just keep heading towards your safe place!
