This shouldn’t come as a surprise since almost everything he says is a lie, but “they” were not, in fact, calling for a 100% chance of rain.

Storm chase over. Back to regular June programming.
Our 2025 storm chase course concluded today. Overall we drove 3500 miles over 8 days, visited six states, and had several great chase days. Wish we could have been in the panhandle region the last few days, but it was still a successful trip and we made the most of the opportunities we had.

Day 4 summary - Put ourselves in good position in south central Oklahoma. Chased some promising looking supercells between Lawton and Loco but the road network and terrain eventually betrayed us.
Day 5 is a down day for us. Toured the NWC and are now heading east to Arkansas.

Day 3 summary - good day in the DFW area. Saw several supercells including this one as it passed over the Brazos River near Morgan, TX.
But, that decision limits our options today. Currently targeting northwestern Oklahoma.

Day 2 recap - observed some weak convection in south central and southeast Kansas. After a bedbug scare at a gross hotel in Coffeyville we ended up back near Tulsa for the night.
Storm chase day 3 - heading south towards DFW this morning.

Day 2 of our storm chase is going…not great. Dew point is dropping and the instability is fading. Sitting on this convergence boundary in south central Kansas hoping something breaks through.

Everyone at this network and the people they represent would lose their minds at the suggestion we have anything to learn from Europe in terms of walkability, bikeability, transit access or even universal healthcare. Much easier to say it must be something about the food.

Let's talk about Jackson (National Weather Service staffing) The Trump administration's cuts to the NWS have resulted in overnight staffing shortages at offices across the country. The New York Times reported earlier this week that federal cuts resulted in staffing cutbacks at Jackson.

Perfect rainy day to sit around and watch racing for 8+ hours. Barber and Miami were both good races. Hopefully Texas has a good finish.

In the wake of today's news that NASA and NOAA are going to essentially be gutted, it's comforting to know that journalists aren't afraid to push back and demand this administration answer the tough questions!
REPORTER: President Trump looks healthier than ever before. I'm sure everybody in this room could agree. Is he working out with Bobby Kennedy and is he eating less McDonald's?

How the hell is this even possible? The governor has declared a state of emergency and there are flood warnings everywhere. Why are kids being forced to go to school?

NWS Louisville doesn’t have enough staffing to cover NWS surveys. They now have to verify tornadoes via social media pictures.
