"Exceptionally dangerous situation is expected to unfold over the next week as we enter a potentially historic & deadly heat event..an event of this scale, magnitude, and longevity will likely rival anything we've seen in the last 18 years"
More than 300,000 acres in Washington have burned since Monday. WOW! 2 Million have burned in California BTW -- All time state record! Medford has been evacuated. This is just awful for the west.

now the largest Greek Named storm ever. Watching this Major hurricane track toward Nicaragua. After that, it could move back over water and potentially impact the US
Additional video showing the water retreating. Previous video was from Tampa Bay. Assuming this is the same? The wind is pushing all the water out, be careful once the storm moves on shore, the wind direction will change and all that water will move back in.

The crew at Buffalo Niagara Int’l airport have been working tirelessly to keep this runway clear. They have something called the
#snowmelter
which can melt 135 tons of snow per hour. 50 million BTU!

Major hurricane

barreling down on Florida this early A-M. We have a chance for this to be a CAT 4 at landfall (130 mph). Live coverage on

INCREDIBLE precipitation for the west coast. Big problem here is California had one of the largest wildfire outbreaks in 2020 which means flooding is likely in all those burn scars. The good news is this will drastically help the drought.
I wish I was done reporting on the fires out west. New fires blew up over the weekend in Northern California. At one point, the fire grew 1 acre ever 5 seconds. INSANE! Here's a snippet from our

now a strong

Idalia went from a Category 1 Hurricane to a Category 4 Hurricane in 24 hours from August 29 (5am) to August 30 (5am). Rapid Intensification is a 35 mph increase in 24 hours. This period had a 55 mph increase in the 24 hours.
After an INSANE winter season last year....This year has been somewhat underwhelming. That's about to change as we have a series of storms that will push across the Sierra Nevada and bring several feet of snowfall.
The Rolling Fork/Silver City tornado has received a preliminary EF-4 rating. We still have a great amount of information to process, and we will provide additional details on this tornado as they are finalized.
Heat Advisories for millions of folks as temps sizzle. The main problem will be overnight temperatures which could stay in the 80s where we have the EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING (pink).

! This little guy deserves the world, which is why it's so important to raise awareness about life with children with DS. Would love any support you can give,
Scary situation for SE Alaska....Juneau picked up 4.93" of rain which crushed the daily record of 1.44"set back in 97'.
Juneau averages 6.09" of rain in Dec. That means they saw 80% of their monthly (Dec) rain in 24 hrs.
It's also their 2nd rainiest day ever record.
@wxmattjones
WEATHER RECORD!! We now have picked up more snow this month than we have in the last 50+ years! February 2019 is now in the number 5 spot of snowiest months EVER in Seattle. Records date back to the late 1800s.

For the third week in a row, the south will experience tornadoes, damaging wind, hail, torrential rain, and flooding. Relentless pattern unfolding...Again
Eastern NC getting hammered right now with big rain. Some of the heavy rain bands are working their way into Virginia. We've already had 9+ inches of rain between FL, GA, SC, and now seeing those gauges in NC getting hit.
Frozen Gators? Check out the way these gators survive icy waters....As long as their nostrils don't freeze, they can survive. This video from North Carolina.
Today's flood threat from

is life threatening. Already seeing Flash Flood Emergency around Orlando and areas pointing north. Another spot with a 12"+ of rainfall is likely.

1)
@DeathValleyNPS
will be closed today due to flooding
2) LA Unified School District is closed
3) San Diego received it's wettest August day on record.
#Idalia
is moving NNE at 17 mph which means it'll be in Georgia by tonight and SC by tomorrow morning. Could still be borderline CAT 1 hurricane between GA/SC late tonight.
For those keeping track of this California storm -- this is one we'll be talking about for a while. 100+ mph winds, nearly a foot of rain, big mountain snow, debris flows, mud slides...The list goes on
Look at these storm reports coming out of New Jersey! Multiple water rescues happening right now. This is from the outer band of
#Henri
which is HAMMERING Jersey.
Flooding happening NOW in New Jersey. High Water Rescues are in place near Trenton as heavy rain continues to fall. This is the same feeder band from

that brought 4-6" of rain around NYC yesterday.
BIG power outages this morning in California. Northern California specifically has several counties in the red. Wind gusts have topped 100 mph up along the coast. Incredible wind up here.

Big snow on the way for the Northeast Tuesday. The last time we received a 6" daily snowfall event was in 2022 for Boston and NY. This is going to be a very heavy/wet snow. Backbreaking snow.

We still have roughly 90% of hurricane season left. Amazing to think that we're just getting started since we've already seen so many named storms. Remember, in 2005 we passed all the alphabetic names and had to move to the Greek alphabet. Will that happen again?
The snowpack in California is not too strong right now -- roughly 60% of average. So these big spring-like storms are exactly what they need to help play catch up.
