Still doing this! Above-average heat will continue to dominate the eastern 2/3rds of the nation into early next week. There are signs of a big cool down after that, but prepare for a stretch of toasty days until then. The western third of the country feels more Fall-like though!

A widespread frost/freeze is coming soon to the northwest US! While the eastern half of the country basks in warmth, colder air will be on the way to the western half around October 4th-6th.

Beginning October on the warm side!

Here is the mid-range temperature outlook for October 5th-9th, highlighting above-average temps LIKELY across the eastern 2/3rds of the country. Toasty for this time of year in the Midwest to Northeast! Cooler trends coming in for the western third of the US!

A tornado watch has been issued for parts of Arkansas and Oklahoma until 10 PM CDT!

9/22: Lots of severe weather risk today/tonight in the US

The autumnal equinox is here and so is the chance for more severe storms across the country. Details on hazards and their locations in graphic:

Cat-5 Super Typhoon #Ragasa is bearing down on the Batones and Babuyan Islands in the west Pacific in the far northern Phillipines. Here is a look from the ISS. China also in the crosshairs later this week. Yikes!

Got more than I bargained for

I was chasing this storm in Rosebud, Texas on April 12, 2022 and its hail core suddenly shifted direction, causing me to get inside a barrage of baseballs. It wasn’t my favorite, but it happens when you get aggressive in this line of work! #stormchasing

Minnesota and the surrounding area will be the focus for severe weather today with tornadoes, hail and damaging winds. Lower severe wind and hail chances extend southward into the Texas Panhandle.

Amazing! NWS will be allowed to fill 450 more positions after deep cuts from DOGE earlier this year. We knew those cuts were a critical mistake to begin with. It’s good to see this for the sake of public safety and to have more great jobs. NWS SAVES LIVES.

An ABOVE NORMAL Atlantic Hurricane Season is the most likely scenario in the latest outlook from NOAA/NHC. The confidence in this is 50%, with 35% chance of near normal and 15% chance of below normal!

North Dakota will be under the gun today with a slight risk of tornadoes and enhanced risk of damaging wind and hail.

The next two days feature Enhanced Risk areas in North Dakota and Minnesota! Stay weather aware especially in the orange shaded regions. Widespread damaging winds will be the primary concern with a few tornadoes and instances of big hail. August 7-8th.

Wow it’s already after 6PM, where did the day go? We still have over an hour before sunset though thanks to Daylight Saving Time. #texas #daylightsavings

Sometimes even the innocuous storms that would seemingly be boring to chase can put on a great display. “Whale’s Mouth cloud formation in McKinney, TX on 6/7/2021. #stormchasers #weather #sky #storm
