Snow blankets the Great Smoky Mountains from the recent intrusion of winter weather into the southern US.

Above freezing temperatures today are slowly melting away the snow cover.

The 33 points scored by the Broncos in the fourth quarter are tied for the most by any team in the last 15 years.

I have spent the last 24 hours looking at media reports and social media posts about the Texas Hill County tragedy and being appalled by the level of misinformation I am seeing. I have tried to put together an updated, more reasoned summary I hope you'll read.

There have been claims that NOAA/NWS did not foresee catastrophic TX floods--but that's simply not true. This was undoubtedly an extreme event, but messaging rapidly escalated beginning ~12 hrs prior. Flood Watch mid PM, "heads up" outlook late PM, flash flood warnings ~1am.
WPC issued as many as six MPDs for the deadly flash flooding in the TX Hill Country starting yesterday evening and lasting through much of today. The first MPD generally set the stage for what was to come, while the next three shown were as the event unfolded.

Wow so you’re telling me everyone who cheered on the Iraq war is on board with this now too? And so are the people who opposed the Iran nuclear deal and killed it?

You’re kidding.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

I worked at NOAA and FEMA. I've had long, exhaustive conversations in recent months with those inside at high levels. Staffing is depleted, resources are critically low, and morale is rock bottom. Our hurricane defenses are down, and it's only a matter of time before we take an uppercut to the chin.
The June 1 start of hurricane season is upon is, and the two key U.S. agencies we rely on the most for hurricane season--NOAA and FEMA--are in unprecedented disarray. I summarize the ugly details in my latest:

NEW: As Hurricane Helene barreled toward Yancey County in North Carolina, communities along the Cane River in the Black Mountains were particularly vulnerable.

But there were no evacuation orders, and few grasped what was coming.

We are officially in the Twitchification era of weather. Bro-like streamers that are cosplaying as meteorologists and think that issuing weather warnings is some kind of video game. It’s worse than it has ever been.
