One of the more ominous images you're ever going to see in the Bay Area — low-hanging clouds but also some sunshine in the "eye" of this system. Lots of whitecaps on the Bay, and check out the disturbed water reaching northward (right to left) from the pillars of the Bay Bridge!
BIG NEWS! I'm thrilled to announce I'll be joining the team at

I’ve spent most of the last ten years on the morning shift, and 12 years overall. That’s more than half my career, and more than a quarter of my life.
Today I got to delete this alarm. I enjoyed it.
We lost Dagny today. While we knew her battle with cancer would inevitably end this way, we are nonetheless devastated.
From tiny puppy, to patient “TV dog,” to her senior years, she was the best. The happiest tail, the wiggly walk, the smiling face…all will be dearly missed.
One year ago today, my professional life was turned upside down — by a schedule shift, and by the not-so-subtle signal that I wasn’t in my (former) employer’s long-term plans. I’m thankful that the subsequent 365 days were filled with new opportunities... 1/2
...and grateful for the support of my family, friends, and co-workers...both old and new! I’m also thankful for your support as my “online family.” Here’s hoping that the next SEVERAL years are more tranquil! 2/2
A candidate could go a long way toward earning my vote with this platform:
- “Spring forward” happens at noon on a Monday.
- “Fall back” happens on a Friday evening.
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step...
...but the journey of 2,831 miles begins with an overpacked SUV, two confused-but-excited dogs, and my favorite person in the passenger seat.

We said goodbye to our beloved Scooter today — he passed away peacefully at home, just 8 days short of his 18th birthday.
He got a cheeseburger, a long walk in his stroller, and his birthday cookie in his last 24 hours. We’re grateful for every single day we spent with him.
Needless to say, none of this is possible without the seemingly-infinite patience and support of my wife, who's willing to endure yet another big move. She's the best, and I couldn't ask for a better partner on this journey, and through life in general.

Tennessee friends: stay weather-aware this evening!
What: Damaging straight-line winds and isolated tornadoes. Heavy rain could lead to flooding.
When: Moving in from the west after sunset.
Where: Greatest threat west of I-65. Highest tornado threat near the Tennessee River.
I don’t see any other meteorologists on the “Best Local TV News Personality” list, so I’ll take that as a win. And there’s no shame in finishing behind

Tennessee friends: pay attention to the weather this afternoon and this evening! Storms with a significant straight-line wind threat (and some tornado/hail potential too) look likely. ETA for Nashville looks to be 8pm-ish. Stay weather-aware!
3 years ago today, I walked into this building for the first time. Six weeks later, I was working here at

Those 3 years have been quite a ride: a pandemic, fires, orange skies, floods, drought, multiple record heat waves…
Let’s see what the next 3 years bring!
A *long* day in the car today...over 850 miles across New Mexico and Arizona, and into California! Our new home state even greeted us with a beautiful sunset.
Winter Storm Warning now in effect from 4pm Thursday through 1pm Friday, for all of the Bay Area above 1500' elevation.
It's the first Winter Storm Warning in the Bay Area since February 2011 — by FAR the longest any NWS office had gone without issuing such a warning!
Fun with fitness trackers: in my almost-eight years in Nashville, I jogged roughly 4600 miles. Roughly the distance from Nashville to Stockholm, Sweden. So it’s like a trip to Scandinavia, but without going there. With the added bonus of knee pain.
A few showers are moving through the Bay Area this evening. Most of the rain is evaporating, but fortunately we haven’t seen any lightning yet! The rain at sunset, combined with the wildfire smoke, produced one of the eeriest rainbows I’ve ever seen, out over the Bay.

to when I was employed. Thankful for the new gig that starts Monday! Also thankful for

who was stuck with me for eight hours during the eclipse.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I'm a scientist and not very good at poetry but if you want to know if it's going to rain I can probably help you with that
Peak wind gusts (NOT current) since midnight. This map only displays the gusts at or above 55mph — look at all of them! Several in high elevations over 90mph. Quite a storm…

NO, *YOU'RE* CRYING.
Day 1 at Banff in the books. Drove the Iceplains route, visited the toe of the Athabasca glacier, hiked to the Peyto Lake overlook and up to Bow Summit. And now, sleep...
These vehicles aren't going anywhere for a while. I-80 is now closed in both directions! Westbound traffic is being turned around at the NV/CA state line, eastbound at Drum Forebay.
