Used today’s 50th anniversary of the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald (and the song of the same name) to workshop how to produce a TikTok/Instagram-style video with my media meteorology class. Kinda wish I’d just told them to run with this for this week’s assignment - some really neat ideas.

NC State has never lost on this field.

Wolfpack Nation! Do not let the warmth of the afternoon sun fool you! Temperatures will CRASH at sunset, leaving us in the lower 50s at kickoff and deep into the 40s by the time the game is over. Stay warm! Bring your (red!) jackets/coats and your hot chocolate money.

A high of 95 (!!) today, growing indication of a sloppy/wet weekend, and the chance for tropical shenanigans next week? Welcome to September in North Carolina.

Overall, a successful day with a Pack win, a forecast that held long enough to get the game in, and travels that have me ready for #nwas25.
The travels were interesting, though. Can’t say as I’ve ever been on a commercial flight that did anything like this:

Hey, Pack fans! Remember how nice the weather was for last week? Yeah, today is not that. Lots of sun, heat, and humidity. Slather on the suncreen and stay hydrated — you know, with WATER!

Hey, Bluesky hive mind! I have a graph *labeling* question for you.
Is it better to have the month label aligned with the vertical line — ostensibly to mark the beginning of the month?
Or have the month label between the lines (showing the period between lines is that month)?

Pinch yourselves, Pack fans. Here's the final forecast for tonight's Pack Football home opener at Carter-Finley Stadium. Not sure it gets better than this at any point during the season, much less in August.

Just found a new "flying toasters" screen saver clone that works on MacOS (after Sequoia broke the one I had been using for years). This does not fix everything that is wrong in the world today, but it's a tiny win and I shall take it.

Heading to Carter-Finley tomorrow for NC State vs ECU?
You're gonna LOVE the weather.
If you're tailgating, make sure to wear sunscreen — it won't be August hot, but the sun is still August strong.

A balloon is caught in the airflow from one of our A/C vents. Smudge the cat is confused by this, but to her credit, has not popped the balloon.

Excited to share what my colleague, @chasecain.bsky.social, has been working on for the last few weeks. This new podcast explores climate change - and the first interview is former CA gov Arnold Schwarzenegger!

Seems to me some of them came in late but most of them are there now? I think TAE and SHV are notably absent but most of the other SE stations eventually reported.

Mid 50s dew points in August? Why, yes, I will hang out in the hammock.
