@ChaseThomason Quality post!

I’ve spent the last few days reading lots of comments claiming Salt Lake City’s all-time heat record isn’t legitimate because of the airport weather station. Today, I talked to the National Weather Service and they responded with data, not opinions. They reminded me of their 2022 post: x.com/NWSSaltLakeCit…. During peak heating, meteorologists compared the official KSLC ASOS temperature sensor against five independent temperature sensors located just 0.25 mile away in a natural area with dry grasses. Over 20 minutes, the official station averaged 104.6°F. The five comparison sensors averaged 104.3°F. Their conclusion: they found no definitive evidence that the official station is reading artificially high due to calibration or site characteristics. There are also a few facts that many people don’t seem to know: The official Salt Lake City climate station has been at the airport since 1928. It has been relocated several times within the airport to meet operational needs, but airport observations have been part of the climate record for nearly a century. Contrary to one of the most common claims online, the ASOS temperature sensor has never been installed over grass. It has always been mounted approximately 5 feet above the ground, following national ASOS siting standards used across the country. The temperature sensor isn’t just installed and forgotten. It undergoes routine quality-control checks, typically monthly during the summer, using independent calibrated instruments. The sensor itself was replaced with a newly calibrated unit less than a month ago (June 15, 2026). By policy, it is inspected quarterly and replaced every 18 months. The ASOS doesn’t simply report one instantaneous reading. It samples the air every 10 seconds, creates 1-minute averages, then reports a rolling 5-minute average for official observations. That process helps reduce random fluctuations. Now, let’s also acknowledge something equally important: Urbanization is real. As we replace open land with concrete, asphalt, buildings, and other infrastructure, we increase the local heat storage of the landscape. That’s the urban heat island effect, and it’s supported by decades of peer-reviewed research. The National Weather Service even stated they’ll continue evaluating the site as development around the airport continues. But that’s a completely different discussion than claiming this weekend’s record was “fake.” What I find unfortunate is how hyper-focused some people have become on one instrument while losing sight of the bigger picture. This wasn’t just one weather station. We were setting or challenging records across much of northern Utah and the Great Basin. Triple-digit temperatures were widespread. The atmosphere responsible for this heat affected an entire region, not a single thermometer. And yes, we have a handful of “frequent flyers” who seem to appear under every weather post with the same instrumentation theories regardless of what the evidence shows. Healthy skepticism is part of science. But science also requires following the evidence when new data are presented. The National Weather Service didn’t dismiss the concerns. They tested them, explained how the system works, documented the maintenance history, acknowledged that future development should continue to be monitored, and shared exactly what they found. That’s how science is supposed to work. The record heat was real. The data support it. And the bigger story remains exactly what it was all weekend: Utah experienced one of the most extraordinary heat events in its recorded history. #utwx

@StuDoesAmerica Wasn't Bernie sharing why he is justified (his msg is too important to be delayed with the riff-raff) flying private not that long ago? Is he lost looking for his private plane?! 😉🙃

I hope you enjoy this photo I took of my wife. She didn’t appreciate it at first.

@Oceanbreeze473 🤣

While giving a speech at Syracuse University Sleepy Joe points at a random Black guy and says “doesn’t this guy look like Obama?”

@NJBeisner Yeah, I was going to comment that, "we've already learned that he ALLEGEDLY...."

Her never providing a shred of evidence for this should’ve been a lot of folks’ wake up call.

My father had a questionable situation with a church leader and was troubled with it. He went to his dad, who said that he felt he should "hold it in and not tell others" and said that, "it would be like opening a pillow - he would never be able to gather all the feathers." About 15 years later my father gained additional understanding of the situation that troubled him, which did away with all that he had been concerned about.

@PQSRE I hadn’t heard the analogy before, and I haven’t seen the movie this clip is from. It’s an excellent analogy and warning to be careful with our speech.

@GBSHansO ?? I think the best one is someone who would be doing LESS ACTING. The person portraying should have similar convictions as him.

Free State of Jones was a masterpiece. I could only imagine how well he could portray our church prophet. I’ve studied Joseph’s life for so long, it’d be hard to capture his journey and meet expectations, but I’d love to see him brought to life. What a life he lived. By the way, Joseph Smith was murdered by a mob at age 38. Matt is 56. This movie would’ve had to be made 18 years ago.

And, thank you! The "daily stories" in a community become so much the "norm," that we take them for granted. News and reporting is more fractured than ever. There are some advantages to that, but there can also be less connection with the messenger, and little conscious acknowledgment/awareness of the work it takes to get the story and get it as right as possible. Thank you for you and your team's efforts to do just that!

It’s been a long week in court covering the Tyler Robinson preliminary hearing. I love what I do, but this job comes with a weight. We carry home a small piece of the burdens of the families whose stories we tell. This week, I watched the widow and parents of Charlie Kirk sit through testimony and video that retraced the final months of Charlie’s life. I also watched the family of Tyler Robinson; the man accused of killing Charlie. They carry a different kind of weight, one no family ever wants to bear. There were investigators in that courtroom who have seen things they can never unsee. A judge, new to the bench, presiding over a high-profile death penalty case. A defense team working to protect the constitutional rights of the accused. Prosecutors working to present their case and seek justice. We heard testimony from a UVU police officer, one of just six officers on campus that day. He had picked up an extra shift. Listening to his testimony, it was hard not to come away with the impression that the university was not prepared for what unfolded on Sept. 10, 2025. At the same time, hindsight is always clearer, and I also know the people who serve that campus show up every day with the goal of keeping students safe and providing them with a positive college experience. Then there’s me, a journalist trying every day to report the facts fairly and accurately. I’m also the mother of a UVU student who was on campus the day Charlie Kirk was killed. My son witnessed a life end in front of his eyes. That reality has stayed with our family, too. It’s a reminder that every story we cover is someone’s best day or, more often, their worst. Behind every headline are real people living through moments that change their lives forever. I just want you to know that I care deeply about this work and about getting these stories right. Many of Charlie's friends and family carried meaningful reminders of their faith throughout the week, Bibles, rosaries, and other religious items. It was nearly 100 degrees every day. Snipers remained on rooftops and around the courthouse, quietly providing security in an emotionally charged environment. Thank you to everyone who trusts KUTV to tell these difficult stories Thank you to Romy Colvin for sharing the photos of me working this week.

@gingerage365 That's great! Hopefully, there's a lot going on besides concerning yourselves with what literature there is for perusing. Just sayin'

I love spending my honeymoon night in exactly where we want to be!

@TylerDurden Makes me think of watching that again! Good flick!

Two weeks to film. $3mil budget. The greatest financial movie of all time.

@contractorsPOV Funny! Except that @Tesla is well below average on vehicle fires, but feed the stereotype.

Other automakers are always trying to copy Tesla 😂

@ATIF_Podcast 🤣🤣

⚠️Mormon Missionaries Caught LYING⚠️

@garyboomer58 Nice! And only charged him $3,750! Way to help out!

My son was complaining rent is too expensive He was paying $4,000/month Idiot So I did what any loving father would do Concerted my garage to a studio and offered him first dibs to rent

@Oceanbreeze473 Ha! Fun to think of how many flicks it took to get the right ones! "I have to show this, but it keeps landing on 'stay home'" 😅

The Lord is trying very hard to give me a sign.

@BasedMikeLee @RealCandaceO @charliekirk11 @MrsErikaKirk Never happen. Will not even be considered.

For reasons that became even more apparent today in court, @RealCandaceO is mistaken about what happened to @charliekirk11 She might want to consider an apology to @MrsErikaKirk

@TacoforFive1 It never was about the evidence or the outcome of the trial. The vast majority will continue with the conspiracy. That is the beauty of a theory - you really don't have to let facts get in the way.

When Tyler Robinson is found guilty what will the Candy cult do? A. Admit they were wrong B. Stay stuck on stupid C. Turn on Candace for lying to them D. Cry into their pillows

@Here_s_Hoping It's been a long time, but any Oreo eater knows the number of Oreos is determined by arriving at the last dunkable amount of milk!

The only unacceptable number of Oreos to eat is 0.

@OG_DrC Who's THEY?

There’s a reason they had to take him out

@DriveElectricc Congrats!! One of favorite features of my Y is the sweeping AC! I loved it so much that when I went to set it in my 3 and discovered it's NOT THERE, I was extremely disappointed.

First day with my Model Y is officially in the books. So far, I absolutely love it. What’s one feature you wish you’d known about on day one?
