From the moment I first gazed toward the heavens, I have been infatuated with the weather. From the way clouds transform the sky to the quiet of a midwinter snow to the awesome power of a hurricane, I knew that weather would always be part of my life. As the father of an autistic child, life has thrown more than a few curveballs my way. But it has also taught more than a few lessons. Determination, forbearance, forgiveness, and humility are not easy lessons to learn, but life continues to shower me with opportunities to do so, and I continue to try and learn them. Until recently, I have not had time to fully pursue my passion for the weather. Now I can. I hope to share that with you at this time and in this space. Thank you for supporting me and for spending your time enjoying the wonderful world of weather with me. I'm blessed to be here, and only by the grace of God am I able to do this. And there are more exciting things to come, so stay tuned!

Lunch looking tasty today!

As the ridge builds next week & pivots North & East, it's worth watch some energy getting cut off underneath the ridge & drifting around. This would impact the weather across the Southern tier. You can see it under the in the form of white with an occasional blue blob drifting East to West. This would happen next week.

Super Typhoon Bavi is undergoing an eyewall replacement and remains a massive threat to Taiwan and the western Japanese islands. While the highest winds may stay slightly offshore, the rainfall forecast is staggering—some models suggest 20-30 inches for the higher terrain. If you or your family are in the path, now is the time to prepare for extreme flooding. Check out the latest update on TimEalerwx: youtu.be/N5CZNBEa5-s Stay safe, and heed all local warnings. 🙏

Strong heavy rain signal for Kentucky & Tennessee & surrounding states between now & the end of this upcoming weekend. Flash flooding could become an issue.

Due factors outside of our control, hold times will be much longer than normal. We apologize for the delay and appreciate your patience...

@EalerTimothy @SCweather_wx @westinm082 Agree 100%. Glad to be a part of it, and thank you for all of your support!

The Weather Community is amazing and I've made many friends on here that have no problem mentioning a fellow youtubers channel. Thank you @SCweather_wx @RealColdRain @westinm082 and many others. From my Heart - Thank you so much!

⚠️ Major Weather Shift Ahead! ⛈️ The weather pattern across the US is flip-flopping. While heat is building out West, the Eastern US is bracing for severe storms and heavy rain—some spots could see up to 8 inches! 🌧️ Get the full breakdown: youtu.be/ro-8urruwLE #WeatherUpdate #SevereStorms #SummerWeather

Great fireworks in Morganton tonight!

And more than a month later.... We're in DEEP trouble.

@westinm082 Thanks buddy! I appreciate the shout out. I hope you have a happy 4th!

An interesting aspect of this US #heatwave is that the high temperatures, and even the upper level ridge (heat dome), were NOT remarkable. Approx a 1-10 year event. BUT what really made this #heatwave stand out is the "Humid-Heat". @ClimateCentral has a diagnostic tool for this, showing that the intense "humid-heat" was made 10-100x times more likely by climate change. In the @WWAttribution study I site from today in the below post, they indeed confirm that this heatwave was unusually humid, so much so that it was "impossible" in the former climate and even now is only a 1-200 year event. So without remarkable peak temperatures, it's the humidity doing the heavy lifting. And as Earth warms the moisture in the air also rises. When they say.. "it's not the heat, it's the humidity" there is something to that. Our bodies are much more vulnerable to a humid heatwave and these will grow quickly in our warming climate.

Happy early Birthday, America! 🇺🇸 Tomorrow marks the 250th anniversary of Independence Day, but will the weather cooperate for your celebrations? From extreme heat in the East to severe storm risks in the Midwest, I’m breaking down everything you need to know for the holiday weekend. 📺 Watch the full forecast here:youtu.be/PXM8_cxZojI

The models were always too hot for late week/weekend But thankfully, it does look like now maybe more of a 101-102 type heat event peak now for RDU this weekend. Record high for 7/4 is 101, I think we may beat that. Still very hot to be outside 3rd/4th and still could edge hotter

Is a tropical depression hiding in these models? 🌀 I’m diving deep into the European and GFS data to see exactly where this moisture is headed and who needs to be on alert. Get the latest here: youtu.be/v8NKPSWR9AI #HurricaneSeason #WeatherForecast #TimEalerwx

A scorcher is on the way... Keep those pets cool! #heatwave #4thOfJuly

Taking a look into the future of our weather pattern post July the 4th, it looks like we could enter a better pattern for widespread storm chances across the Eastern US. As our the position of the ridge shifts around, we will introduce a more favorable flow for rain/storms. This looks like a strong signal for Northwest flow but I would watch for a trough & how it sets up across the East. This could allow for a better flow for above average moisture chances further South across the East.

It rained for 36 straight hours this morning. Picked up 0.03". We know how to drought strong in the Southeast.

One of the Reasons I talk about Heat-Related Stress - Especially in the Nortern States and Western U.S. is the lack of air conditioning. Here are two graphics that show the % based on state and at the county level.

AI hasn't experienced a ridge like this yet. 🤣
