Every single nor'easter lies on the leading edge of a negatively tilted trough. This is in a ridge.

The impacts of this storm are from a convergence of moisture and flow from three primary systems. The minimum pressure of the primary low only reached about 998mb and will never go north of NC.

Not all tropical cyclones become tropical storms. All nor'easters are baroclinic in nature, meaning they are cold core and form at higher latitudes. This storm formed over Cuba was barotropic.

Even if this was baracolonic it still isn't what around here would consider to be a true nor'easter.

Weather Channel met shown here from Friday night using 6 and 30 hour old rainfall maps when there were clear signs of a trend out to sea. +15" inland is certainly going to shock people, and likely unnecessarily. Including precip maps from past devastating storms just raises the alarm further.

There's a very high correlation between LARGE TEXT with an exclamation point over a map talking about an event a week away and that event not actually playing out as modeled.

Is the goal of Live Storm Chasers to inform as a public service or to get clicks by showing 8 day precipitation maps with a big arrow pointed at a region that was devastated by Hurricane Helene one year ago?

Model agreement is still moderate at best with specific impacts still too early to call.

Weatherboy is reporting on a 2.5 magnitude earthquake in Missouri and calls it "concerning' when in fact there are over a dozen such small earthquakes commonly per year.

Decopy AI Detector estimates a 61% chance the website article was AI generated.

Is this responsible coverage?
