Tuesday, the Brazos Valley finds a MUCH drier air mass rushing in after a quick (puny) round of morning rain. • Relative Humidity tanks below 20% • A WIND ADVISORY is in effect for gusts up to 40mph Fire danger will be ELEVATED TO HIGH RISK (sparks can catch & spread quickly)

Most of the #Arctic is experiencing warming temperatures in February. These trends are largest across the Barents and Kara Seas region, where losses of sea ice cover are the the most significant. Data from @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social ERA5. For more info: doi.org/10.1175/BAMS...

Help! Anybody run into this before on their ThinkPad X1 Carbon? • Works fine when in use • White screen appears when laptop has been idle/asleep for an hour or two • all updates/drivers current • Haven't tried reseating SSD (mainly because I'm scared to mess something up) All thoughts welcome!

This morning, #bcstx hit a record low of 21°F, breaking the historic 2021 record of 28° Climate change continues to change the weather we experience, driving more extreme heat & cold Since 2020, 71 records have been set at Easterwood Airport. 94% of those have been record heat

#bcstx won’t climb above 32° today, a rarity here But over the last 50 years, nights below freezing have declined due to climate change Sounds good, right? Nope. These cold nights help zap mosquitoes & provide “chill hours” for plants/trees to rest & prep for the growing season

February 4th & #bcstx reached a 2nd record high in as many days 🌡️84°. That replaces the 68-year-old record high of 82° 🔴 Climate Shift Index (Attribution Science) shows winter warmth like this is TWICE as likely due to climate change The impact? A/C gets turned on which = increased costs for many

A record 84° in #bcstx on February 3rd. 🔴These unusual, spring-like temperatures you experienced today in the Brazos Valley are now at least ▶️TWICE as likely◀️ to occur going forward due to human-caused climate change. Another record. Another fingerprint of climate change expected Tuesday.
