My new essay in JoBEM’s special issue “AI, Misinformation, and the Future of Algorithmic Fact-Checking" discusses how complex TV weather graphics may overload viewers, & how theoretically grounded graphic design strategies should still apply the AI era. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

You may notice a yellow-ish tint to the sky the next couple of days as a plume of Saharan dust moves through Louisiana. The highest concentration of dust will be across northern, central, and southwestern Louisiana. Take caution of you have pre-existing respiratory conditions.

Amazing photos of a Severe Thunderstorm (possibly classified as "destructive") from a friend in Signal Mountain, TN looking toward Lookout Mountain, TN/GA.

@JamieNNeedham Do you know how convenient it was to basically ask how humid it is outside? 😂 Siri has always kind of been useless, but I don't know how it can lose a feature. Now it just gives me the definition or the air pressure when I ask.

@DrRGIII We still have METAR :(

I miss the days when Siri would tell me the dew point temperature.

A beautiful lightning show last night over the newly constructed Bowers Stadium facility at @SamHoustonState. They literally put the letters on a few days ago @BearkatSports Storms created large hail, with a report of baseball, and confirmed reports of quarter-sized hail nearby

@TracesofTexas Could be going for the coldest high temperature for the entire month of May in some places today.

My goodness ... it's May 1st and 59 degrees at my house here in Central Texas. I just went for a walk and couldn't believe it. My advice? Drink it all in because we KNOW what's on the horizon. I went outside with one of those gallon milk jugs and filled it with some of this cool, refreshing air. I put it in a closet and I'm going to pour it all out on myself in early August. 😀

Speaking of El Paso, the fabled Pancho's Mexican Buffet got its start in that West Texas city back in 1958. Traces of Texas reader Franco Ruiz kindly sent in this photo and asked "Traces, when's the last time you raised the flag?" I thought about it and can't remember, exactly, but it must have been in the 1980s. And then I thought that it's a shame that there is a whole generation of Texans that have grown up not knowing what "raise the flag" means. I realize that there are still four Panchos in Texas, but unless you live in D-FW or Houston, you're not going to be tasting the epic goodness of their sopapillas. When's the last time YOU raised the flag?

Huntsville, TX patiently waiting for its showers. Cold Front: PSYCH!!

With all we try to explain regarding the hurricane forecast cone, I hope there aren't many meteorologists sharing this graphic. The "landing area" makes it look as if the possibility of landing on terrain is part of the plan.

After months of work, the Louisiana Office of State Climatology is proud to announce the launch of our new website: lsu.edu/state-climate-… ... there is a wealth of information available to users of all types! Take some time to explore it and we will appreciate any feedback!

My two graduate alma maters, on my birthday no less. 🔴👆🏼⚫️ 😵‍💫 🟡🐯🟣

The public is invited to attend and help ensure the U.S. Navy veteran is not laid to rest alone. 🇺🇸

We will be treated with a gift from Mother Nature Tuesday morning with a selenelion eclipse. Both the eclipsed moon (western horizon) and the sun (eastern horizon) will be visible in the sky at the same time.

I may be alone in this, but I don't think viewers care about meteorological seasons.

Hey, @Wendys. "Condensate" is not a verb. I believe you mean "condense."😉

My first trip over the recently repainted Paris Road Green Bridge. I haven't felt so at home in years. This is the very first bridge I ever crossed. 🟢⚜️
