🌀 Here is the latest 7am update from National Hurricane Center Potential Tropical Cyclone 6 continues to remain disorganized but is forecast to become a tropical storm later today and a hurricane before landfall somewhere along the LA coast. 1/3 #LAwx #MSwx

Inland flood potential bears watching too. It's related to PTC Six's development initially, but check out the dual channels of anomalous PWs/850mb inflow off the GoM & Southeast coast Thurs into Friday. 850mb winds can advect loads of moisture as far north as the OH/TN Valleys.

The voice behind cinema’s greatest villain. Rest In Peace James Earl Jones (1931 - 2024)

Getting that shrimp like appearance this afternoon.

As we all grieve the immense loss of actor James Earl Jones (Star Wars, The Lion King), I wanted to celebrate one his funnier milestones, reading Letterman’s best Top Ten List, reciting commercial jingles with his spectacular, powerful, booming voice. #RIPJamesEarlJones

Goodbye, King. Thank you for so many amazing moments 🫡

New career achievement unlocked today. I got to issue my first tropical advisory with the help of Eric Blake who was training me as WPC backup to NHC. Thanks to Eric for taking me through the NHC forecasting process! What an awesome opportunity!

Washington's D is quite bad but I suppose it could be worse. Like giving up 35 points in a half bad.

Well, they lucked into that win. But if they can just get their red zone worked out, the offense may be decent enough to keep them in games. The defense is still bad. But...they found a kicker? #Commanders

Oak Island, NC which has been my long time family vacation spot, taking on the chin right now. Southport airport appears to have picked up 2.93" in one hour (between 1445Z and 1545Z).

That's one impressive low level jet that's aiding in the development of this remarkable band of excessive rainfall in far southern North Carolina.

A moderate risk of heavy precipitation and slight risk of high winds are favored over the southern half of Florida for Sep 24-26. A slight risk of heavy precipitation extends along the coastal Southeast and parts of the Mid-Atlantic coast for Sep 24-26
