Groundhog Day HAS ARRIVED and #PunxsutawneyPhil stepped into the frigid morning air and saw his shadow, which means six more weeks of winter. Check out his past predictions—will he be right this year or can you put your pesky winter gear away? bit.ly/GroundhogsAndC…

@rusnivek I sense a strange lack of @SPAMbrand in this feed for redundancy in this Operation #DeepFried #Turkey 🤔

If things with my #DeepFried #turkey don’t go well, here’s backup plan #1. I just hope I don’t burn the house down. #DFT2025 #Chicago

Spending the week teaching Social Media with @WxKyleNelson for @readyusvi. We kicked things off in St. Thomas and are in St. Croix today. Big thanks to our amazing hosts for the warm welcome and hospitality!

Just a year ago, the U.S. was better at predicting storms’ tracks than it had ever been. But now, @ZoeSchlanger reports, the country is rapidly losing state-of-the-art forecasting, just in time for hurricane season’s busiest months: theatlantic.com/science/archiv…

We've learned of a lightning fatality from June 26th. A woman in Eagleville, Missouri, was walking through a farm field near her home when she was killed by lightning. We've now recorded 6 lightning fatalities in 2025. The U.S. averages 8 lightning fatalities through July 3.

.@NWS has announced prototype wildfire detection notifications will soon be operational. Since 2016, Oklahoma has led the nation in building this capability w/ @OKForestService, @okem, @NWSNorman, @NWStulsa & @NWSAmarillo. 📰 koco.com/article/oklaho… #OKfire #OKwx #EMGTwitter

Republicans in Congress have voted to devastate millions of people across our nation — kicking Americans off their health care, shuttering hospitals, eliminating food assistance, and raising costs. This is Project 2025 in action.

Firefighters expect conditions to be good tomorrow to ignite the 900-acre Sunny Side Prescribed Fire 1 mile north of Aspen to reduce wildfire fuel and improve wildlife habitat.

Nobody will share this post, but there has to be a sane voice in the digital wilderness. Alabama and the Deep South will not experience any high impact weather events over the next 10 days. No tornadoes, floods, winter storms, or severe cold waves.  Beyond 10 days, there is no skill in a specific forecast. Pattern recognition? Yes. A specific forecast? No.  I’ve been getting a large number of “is it true” questions from people seeing rogue social media accounts forecasting blizzards, snowstorms, severe cold, and tornadoes in 2 to 3 weeks. This is what they do… playing you like a fiddle to get social media engagement, which in turn drives monetization from the various creator content funds.  Understand March is one of the most volatile weather months in Alabama… you can indeed have anything from a blizzard to a devastating tornado outbreak. But any 2 to 3 week forecast you see on social media is nothing more than nonsense. Please think before you share… 

NOAA research PDFs are starting to be taken down due to the executive orders. NOAA IS being affected. This is not good.

NOAA agencies as part of the US government is required to abide by the new required naming convention. Whether it’s Gulf of Mexico or Gulf of America doesn’t matter much in the grand scheme of things, it’s still the same weather.
