That’s a power flash. Storms were ripping.

It was feisty!

This was very much a 8-10 times per year type of storm.

But really: Is it a holiday in Houston without Zeus or Jupiter cursing you out and flooding your streets?

Same here just east! Wild.

Negative.

Any damage reports in Houston area?

The Danes would LOVE to beat us methinks.

Also, here’s @mattlanza.bsky.social with a radar forecast through afternoon.

Don't put them near Blood Oranges

Do Cripps apples beef with Bloods?

I know. It was a mushy joke.

As I have been talking to others, including @tweber.bsky.social and @wxmanms1.bsky.social, this was always my big concern for this and the coming years.

OMB has shown that they aren’t concerned with what Congress has authorized. If they don’t like it and Congress won’t stand up, they’ll cut it.

Wife and I discussing the Iditarod:

Her: I think it ends in Nome.
Me: Do they have a special langauge, or Nome-enclature up there?
Her:

Lots of fiber!

Area AI company CEO worries that the technology he specializes in could do bad things. So he will continue to do everything the same since it makes money.

He’s looked so tentative since he got there every time I’ve watched. And it felt bad because everyone coronated him before he even got there.

I’d fall flat on my face in the Olympics. These athletes operate on another level.

Poor Ilia. 😞 Some days you just aren’t able to do everything.

NSF announces move of National Center for Atmospheric Research's supercomputing facility to a third party Impacts on computing resources for atmospheric science research unclear

The Trump Administration appears to be continuing to move forward in its plans to dismantle the Nat'l Center for Atmospheric Research, announcing yesterday plans to shed the NCAR supercomputing facility to a third party. More: tinyurl.com/26924vy4

Trump admin is pulling supercomputers out of key weather research center | CNN A leading American research lab is slated to lose its critical supercomputing facility, according to a letter released Thursday by the National Science Foundation.

“high power computing is essential for simulating weather and climate and for evaluating the accuracy of new forecast models, which eventually end up contributing to what Americans see in the weather apps each day”

Now we’re sacrificing weather forecasts to ideology

Roses are red, violets are blue, some Valentine’s storms are in Houston’s view In brief: We expect some showers and thunderstorms on Saturday in Houston, a couple of which could be on the stronger side. Outside of that, we have nice weather to close the weekend, and another w…

Much of the area is going to see showers or some thunderstorms for a window of time Saturday, and there is a marginal (1/5) risk of severe weather. But overall, it just looks like a mildly inconvenient Valentine's evening. Matt has details on what to expect and what's to come.

How much of Green Bay’s Horizon League success is in spite of Doug Gottlieb, or is he actually…good? 🤷‍♂️

The worst part is that there generally bipartisan support in Congress for NCAR. So, it’s pretty senseless. Kind of a shame that those NCAR salvaging amendments didn’t make the budget bill! At least Colorado’s delegation stood up.

At #AMS2026, Tom Fahy said to expect pain with respect to NCAR.

It’s only going to get worse.

I’ve never seen a government so consistently try to make things incrementally worse.

Another destructive decision by this administration.

Happening tomorrow! Come join some rockstars, including Ryan Hall Yall, Max Velocity @mattlanza.bsky.social @nashseverewx.com @spann.bsky.social and more as we talk about next steps towards a National IWT!

Make emissions great again!!

Eventually. This is one issue I have. We are a regionally driven flood area. Hard to get a full impression from just one county.

We need to grab lunch one day.
