La Niña, the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO), and the potential for a rare November Sudden Stratospheric Warming event (you're likely to have heard of this referred to as the "polar vortex") may combine to drive winter-like conditions across much of the U.S. late November into early December.

Thus, sharing a 15-day AIFS forecast map of a TC impacting the United States holds about as much value as sharing a 15-day GFS forecast. Practically none.
It may garner attention & entertainment value, but also much confusion to the general public that isn't watching every model cycle.

Jhoan Duran wanted his show-stopping entrance to continue in Philly. So the Twins thought it was right to send everything they had — including the custom remix — to Phillies.

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.
The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

Hot and humid summer day turned downpour. Happy that we got off the deck about 5 minutes before it poured, but I bet a lot of people in Canal Park were surprised!

It’s always fascinating to see how a decaying thunderstorm complex falls apart as it outruns the best instability/forcing.
