Couple of “rarities”… Mostly because they are not made anymore. Given that they have been “shed aged” for several years now, I’m not sure I’d want to try them either! 😇🍺👿❓

Thanks for the snow day!

It’s nice knowing where you’re going to implode.

#COVID positivity rates are rising, with central U.S. states leading at over 6%. The Southeast reports the lowest at 2.2%.

Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, he'll contribute to the global overdepletion of the ocean. So give him a salad, maybe.

🧵🧵 While everyone was understandably focused on national politics, something happened in Texas this week that has received far less attention than it deserves, given its potential consequences. And I'd guess even very plugged-in folks dont realize the full scope. Let me explain (at length):

He’ll forever be guilty.

Farewell to the oak branch that was going to destroy my roof (eventually). We’d managed to coexist for over 30 years, but sadly my support became a bending point rather than a lifting point.

Get out there and vote like the future depends on it! 🖖🏻

Milton, a category 5 storm once again, is increasing in size and it's still on a course for the west coast of Florida tomorrow night. It's time to finalize preparations and either hunker down or get out (recommended if you can). Details: theeyewall.com/milton-is-a-...

Our evening update refreshes the forecast with PTC 9/Helene. I also wanted to talk in more detail about some of the risks specific to Tampa Bay that need to be monitored closely, especially if the track should shift any. Read more: theeyewall.com/a-monday-eve...

Lemons abound with little serious concern in the Atlantic. The main thing to watch will be excessive rain again next week in parts of coastal Texas and Louisiana, though some slight development can’t be ruled out. Here’s what’s up: theeyewall.com/lemony-a-ser...

Support in modeling for next week's Caribbean wave to develop seems to have dropped a decent bit, and any organization will be slow. Low pressure in the Gulf will continue to fling rain at coastal Texas, where totals are as high as 8-10"+ so far. Details: theeyewall.com/tropical-wav...

We are back. Today we discuss Beryl’s remnants and flooding/tornado risk for New York as well as a southeast system. We also need to clarify how we cover Houston on this site so people understand why we’ve posted little since Sunday. Read: theeyewall.com/beryl-brings...

Caught totality at Dallas Love field. As you can see, partly cloudy, but still managed to get a few shots of the event. Solar prominences were visible to the naked eye.

@nytimes.com That doesn’t quite work does it?

"This was a terrible tragedy, but sometimes these things just happen and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop them."

Peter Gabriel’s last U.S. tour stop! Glad to be here for it.

Who needs a pinhole camera when a live oak will do?

My COVID booster is kicking in… Hopefully I will feel better in about 24 hours… and remain so the rest of winter!

Why I always mask up… Went to get my RSV vaccine today on a whim and while sitting in the pharmacy, a woman with a coughing child comes in and asks to buy COVID tests… While we all wait, she wheels the coughing child around the room. Thanks lady! 😷

Four more days of hell, Houston! spacecityweather.com/houston-is-a...

Here's our Monday update on Invest 95L, which is likely to develop in the next couple days and become Tropical Storm and eventually Hurricane Lee. It *should* go north of the islands, but it remains a close call. We explain. theeyewall.com/september-4-...

Rice fight! Never die… until the second half, at least. (We scored first!)

Hole in my driveway… Farewell my “zippy car” it was a great 160,000 miles.

Hey @sunynights.bsky.social I need some friends to invite.

Raising skunks…

Literally a “money pit!” 💸🔧🚽

I did not have pulling a toilet on my daily bingo card today… 😰
