Congrats to OU. But more so, thank you

for giving us a fantastic season, and making us all proud of you, and the way you play the game. You were, and are fantastic representatives of

Uhhh, NOT true. FYI - If you're watching the
@FSU_Softball
game, the announcer just said that a tropical storm is expected to make landfall near Tallahassee tomorrow. Wow. Not even close. Middle of gulf tomorrow. Well west of Tally Monday. Rain on Sunday and Monday? Yes.
I'll only say this:
If
@FSUFootball
is not in the top 4 because of the committee's alleged reasons, then how come they're 5? Why aren't we 8 now? Can't have it both ways.
Proud beyond belief of

and our players, coaches, and staff.

I missed this when first sent, but never too late for a retweet. My first tv job 30+ years ago replaced a fellow
@FSUWeather
alum. Main reason I was hired was because of my FSU degree. Just about every major tv market, including cable, had or still has a 'Nole Met working there.
Indulge this Florida boy for 20 seconds. Only lasted a few minutes, but here are few of the rare (for us) snowflakes. Note: you can hear the plentiful sleet, too.
Saturday 6/27/20 6:28 pm - Doppler Radar Wind Velocities clearly show the strong downburst winds in the middle (in green), and the nearly perfect circle of outflow boundaries emanating outward. Like dropping a big rock in a pond.
Allow me a brief rant. With all that's happening with
@FSUFootball
, the noon start for the last home game is a *terrible* time. The players and coaches need a a lot of support, and a noon kickoff against an FCS team won't do it.I know - tv, but it should be changed. </EndRant>
As nervous and anxious as I get watching my sons play any sport, I cannot even imagine the anguish parents of kickers have. The highs can be glorious, but the lows are just heart wrenching.
6/6/24 Super Regional Time in Tallahassee! Friday's weather will be mostly sunny, mostly dry, & mostly HOT. Fans of

I hope all of you who*hate* the Warchant (and there are many, or so I'm told) are watching, listening, and enjoying the European Police Siren thing LSU'S band has been playing. That's some top notch, drive-you-insane stuff.
Watching Match Game 76 with my dad. Really need this guy's sport coat for an occasional weather cast. Ya think? 😜Maybe

And you could always count on one of these being there for a snack. (Although my practical parents never gave in to what I always thought were very reasonable arguments to make a purchase.)
@FSU_Softball
Thank YOU and
@Coach_Alameda
for representing
@floridastate
with total class and sportsmanship. Special thanks to the seniors for bringing home a national championship, and the juniors, sophomores, and freshmen, who will bring home another one next year!

I may have to restart some crazy conspiracy theories about the

since the heavy rain and thunderstorms appear to be splitting to the north and south of Tallahassee as they move to the east.

's center. Areas west of that will still see significant impacts, but the worst is expected within that red area.
Easily the most recognized FSU meteorologist worldwide, a true giant in the science. If you've ever heard of the "FSU SuperEnsemble" model for tropical systems - that was him. He will be missed.
It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing this morning of Dr. T. N. Krishnamurti , Professor emeritus at the Florida State University Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Science. We extend our deepest condolences to his wife Ruby & family for this loss.
I am so glad that something as serious as

vs
#CheezIts
is such a hot topic. The Extra Toasty Cheez-Its are one of the greatest snacks on the planet. (Yeah, I said it - Cheez-ITS . . . ITS . . . ITS . . ITS. I won't change my mind.)
Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the storm. Here are just some of our many meteorologists, technicians, and support-staff who served you today and throughout the event. We'll be here 24/7/365 working for you.

Here's an image that depicts all of our tornado warnings today. These warnings do not necessarily depict confirmed tornadoes. Confirmation and rating will occur after surveys are complete.
This is outstanding! Representing

I'll go out on a limb and make a crazy, weather-nerdy prediction that tomorrow's much-anticipated cold front will pass through Tallahassee at the exact moment of the Autumnal Equinox - 3:20pm.
@NWSTallahassee
, I'll need you to independently verify it!
FYI, for all the crowd haters, yeah, the east side (about 100 over degrees over here, trust me) has a lot of empty seats, but the west side is nearly full, and we're all loud.
#MaybeComplainersShouldShowUp
Yeah, I have just a few pet peeves.

(I think) is not hearing the middle "C" in "arctic". Many meteorologists and scientists say "artic" instead. Drives me nuts. I say this because
@News_AbbyWalton
makes sure to pronounce the "C" and it makes me very happy.
#IhaveIssues
All my joy in that moment: Bucs win the Super Bowl. FSU alum Brooks with the pick six to clinch it. Gene Deckerhoff's radio call lives forever. FSU alum Dexter Jackson the mvp. By miraculous fortune, I was there to see it. *Bonus Points* - best Bucs unis ever. Bring them back!

I have the honor to work for a station which plays back-to-back episodes every weekday morning at 9am. It's a guaranteed joyous and relaxing hour every day.

Viewer A: Sigh. Will I need a coat???

Meteorologists: Cool in the morning. You'll need a coat.
Viewer B: Idiot weather boy. I just need the temps. Don't tell me what I need to do!
Did you SEE what that Master's Degree in Meteorology guy was doing on the court?

Just another NCAA championship played on a school/work night & running so late that most kids can't watch, & most adults are irritated that it runs so late. One day, the NCAA football and basketball championships will be played on Saturday night. Then I'll stop griping. Probably.
Saturday suggestion: Wave and scream (keep it civil :) ) at me at the Springtime Tallahassee Parade, then drive down the road and help out the

Dang it, dang it, dang it! Why
@RaysBaseball
? Why? Why are you trading Mallex Smith immediately after a breakout season?? Can you please, just once, hold on to some good talent (and fan favorite) and try to win a title?? Quit settling for being good, and try to be great.
Monday Hazard: Onshore winds of 30 to 40 mph (with some higher gusts) along the coast will produce high surf and a high rip current risk. Double Red flags at the beach mean STAY OUT OF THE WATER! YES, I'M YELLING!
