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.

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.
