@RealColdRain @burgwx I hate to bring politics into this but if we as a nation could fall for the likes of Trump lord only knows how bad things will get in the future. Personally, I don't think I can get any more pessimistic on that front, esp since critical thinking is going to become even more scare

It's a smart thing to contemplate. At the rate at which ot is advancing, it isn't going to be years. My concern is how much easier it is becoming to create fake content that many accept as real. Most people are too distracted or too unable to focus on anything for more than 10 seconds to understand the implications of this very well. Anyway, good post man.

random 2 cents on AI no one asked for: my biggest concern with using LLMs isn't about what it's capable of *right now* - at this point it's incapable of replacing human expertise & is best used as a tool for net max benefit - my concern is how far can LLMs advance & what the job market looks like in a few years if not even sooner

@bcarey913 @HayHawthorne @MatthewCappucci Whatever you call it, it was off more than most of the other forecasts I saw from other well known forecasters, which I think speaks for itself. And the max swath in RI/MA was one of the easier parts of this particular forecast imo Gotta agree with the L. Happens to everyone

Not often I forecast two feet and get beaten by an entire foot. Snowstorm for the record books with 30-40 inch totals in Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts. I was decent with the NJ bonus zone, about 4-6 inches low in NYC, but otherwise not terrible.
MyRadar Weather@MyRadarWX

New England gang – here is our final call. Not much has changed; we’ve nudged the 10-16” contour northwards to roughly the MassPike in MetroWest, and it includes Boston. To the south, we’ve slightly expanded our 16 to 20 inch category, though it’s worth noting a few towns may exceed two feet. Snow in southeastern Massachusetts will be maximized where a band of “frontogenesis” sets up. In other words, clashing temperatures at the mid levels of atmosphere create a density ramp of sorts that moisture is forced upwards. That rising moisture increases snowfall rates. Isolated thunder may accompany the heaviest snow early Monday in New York City, southern Connecticut, on Long Island, in southern Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts and on the Cape/Islands. Snowfall rates of 2 to 3 inches per hour along with blizzard conditions are likely as winds gust 45 to 75 mph — greatest gusts at the coast.

Social media comment of the day. To my family in Southern New England, I am sorry to say but the snowfall rates you were getting was not extremely heavy snow. Robert's criteria for that is 5 inch per hour rates or higher. I am sorry. Choose description carefully.

Trey Murphy III is widely viewed as one of the most coveted potential trade deadline targets. Rival executives believe the Pelicans could net three first-round picks and multiple high-end prospects in return for Murphy. New Orleans not owning their 2026 pick complicates it all.

@RedStallion41 @JeffPassan Agree 100%. Take the big lead and if the 3rd basemen comes creeping in towards the bag for a potential throw the 3rd base coach can tell the runner to get back. Very little risk of getting picked off any way you slice it.

This is such an obviously incorrect decision by the third base coach. Normally it would be correct, of course, because you're being conservative in order to play for the Big Inning, with the bases loaded you want to put up a crooked number and blow the game wide open, not just try to score 1 run, if you only score one you've failed. But this was the bottom of the 9th in a tie game, you didn't need a crooked number, you just needed 1 run, so playing conservatively was the exact opposite of what he should have been doing. He should have been told to get as big a lead as possible, and score the winning run.

As the discussion over the bases-loaded play in the bottom of the ninth in Game 7 continues, one thing I haven’t seen pointed out: Blue Jays third-base coach Carlos Febles marked the exact spot where he wanted Isiah Kiner-Falefa to lead off. There are so many elements to this one play. Should he have taken another step? He was told not to, a point reinforced by other players, who have rightly pointed out that the fear of getting doubled off prompts coaches to keep runners close to the bag. Should he have run through home? Maybe, but it’s damn near impossible, with the speed of the game, to know where the throw is taking the catcher, and sliding is the standard practice. Regardless, it’s illustrative of how many decisions go into a single play — and illustrates the nuances of the game that so often go unseen.

@Mauerback @JeffPassan The difference is the hitters were doing their best to produce; sometimes the opposition wins those battles. The failure at 3rd was entirely mental and the runner only had one job to do.

@JeffPassan I think it's incredibly unfair to blame IKF. If either Varsho or Kirk get the ball into the outfield, we aren't having this discussion

@BronxBombers88 @JeffPassan I absolutely get the muscle memory aspect and think this particular offense <<< the lack of a proper lead. That said, with the world series on the line, I'm running through the catcher if he's blocking the plate.

@JeffPassan I think the real issue is from this photo here - At this point, I think IKF sees the plate is somewhat blocked and instinctively slid. I think most players at this point would decide to slide as well, even though running through the base is the correct move.

@KCOracle @A_Sorensen89 @JeffPassan @Jomboy_ And if he had positioned himself closer to the bag prior to the pitch being thrown, that's what you have a third base coach for. Very easy to tell the runner to get back. No excuse not to have a bigger lead.

@A_Sorensen89 @JeffPassan @Jomboy_ Yes. Saw Feebles make mistake. Then, saw IKF compound it by taking even shorter lead, no secondary, bad jump and no slide. Mindy was not close to base.

@A_Sorensen89 @SleepyNBA @JeffPassan @Jomboy_ Does this factor in where the infielders would be positioned? In normal bases loaded circumstances you're probably playing for the DP or conceding the run and taking the guaranteed out. Very different with the game on the line and the infielders playing in.

@rushhour711 @AndrewHolnessJM Well at least you are thinking. But yes more can be done. If they can’t move from coasts, buildings can be built with more durable rooftops, built on elevated concrete bases … and so on. Storms of this nature is becoming the new normal so long term solutions needed.

I am now in St Elizabeth and images of destruction are all around. The damage is great, but we are going to devote all our energy to mount a strong recovery.

@MatthewCappucci In short, because most of those affected will generally be spared the worst effects no matter where landfall ultimately occurs, we will always look like overhypers to the ignorant and intellectually lazy who were lucky enough to not see their worst possible outcome realized.

@MatthewCappucci Is it me or is this sentiment not uncommon given some would likely live far enough away from the point of landfall and/or coast to see less severe impacts? And I think it's an unavoidable one because we warn people based on where landfall could be, not where it ends up being.

Did the Jamaica Observer *really* just write an editorial alleging U.S. media over-hyped Melissa/“cried wolf”? Honestly, APALLING. Especially for a Jamaican paper. Your office is in Kingston. Drive to where the eyewall hit. Tell those who lost EVERYTHING it was overhyped.
Jamaica Observer@JamaicaObserver

For almost a week Jamaica held the international news headlines on Hurricane Melissa, as every major network provided wall-to-wall coverage of the historic storm. However, one of the features of the coverage which the international media might wish to consider is whether the sensational language used to describe the storm, especially ahead of its arrival, was overdone in the manner of the fabled boy who cried “wolf”. jamaicaobserver.com/2025/10/30/int…

@jdubski221 @MatthewCappucci That doesn't seem to be what the article is focusing on, though. It's simply saying the storm was devastating, but not devastating enough to warrant the hype. And I very much take issue with that.

@MatthewCappucci No one is mad at that type of reporting the issue was reporters making it seem like every Jamaican was poor and lived in shacks. Acting like Jamaicans are weak people who can’t fend for themselves. Made it seem like they were saviors and Jamaicans were useless

@00_990_00 @MatthewCappucci Exactly. If we humans were more logical and cautious there would be no reason to drill home the threat level to such an extent, but studies have essentially shown it to be a necessary approach to communication. That's not on meteorologists or the media, that's on all of us.

@PanthersFan_Afr @MatthewCappucci And if you tell people "only the areas within x miles of landfall are likely going to end up in the devastation zone", people will take the storm less seriously. It's always a lose-lose proposition for meteorologists and media since most areas will generally be spared the worst.

@PanthersFan_Afr @MatthewCappucci Except it essentially was in the areas directly hit and nearest to the coast, as is typical. So the language wasn't the problem, it was the scope. The problem is no one knew exactly where the storm was going to hit ahead of time, so it puts all areas at that same risk.

@TaraMunroe5 @BradMiller_WX @MatthewCappucci Name one example where reputable US media conveyed a feeling of glee over the coming hurricane. I bet you can't. And if you're referring to the historic nature of the storm, it WAS historic. Factual. Confirmed by data.

@BradMiller_WX @MatthewCappucci I’ve realized there’s an accepted difference in reporting style in both countries. There’s something called a tactful approach that still achieves the same outcome of warning folks. We can agree to disagree. You will not change my mind.

@FY_LightWork @AndrewHolnessJM You aren't going to stop 30 inches of water, nor are you going to stop massive storm surge, which is worse than any wind gust. One partial solution would be to rebuild away from the water, but good luck with that happening there (or anywhere else for that matter).

@AndrewHolnessJM There needs to be a move from recovery to resilience, it’s the third time St Elizabeth has been flattened by a storm under your administration. That area needs to be rebuilt in a manner that reduces this level of destruction from recurring. But it’s all talk & publicity stunt.
