The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Advisory for all the areas highlighted in green until 6AM. A line of showers and storms is producing some heavier downpours leading to ponding water on area roads. Use a little extra caution this morning.

Smoke from the wildfires in Canada is resulting in poor to very poor air quality across much of the eastern U.S. Air Quality alerts (red & orange) are in effect for much of VA, WV, & NC. Sensitive groups should remain indoors in an air conditioned facility as much as possible.

What a mid-level #WatervAPOR image from @NOAASatellites this morning. You can see the distinct push of dry air in yellow battling the plume of moisture wedged in over Virginia/North Carolina. Spoiler..the dry air wins out later on with less humidity & 🌞Monday. #vawx #ncwx #wvwx

Our risk for #severeweather looks to increase this afternoon & evening as a cold front pushes through. This front will bring a great weekend ahead w/ less heat & humidity. Storms today will pack a punch w/ damaging winds, large hail, & localized flash flooding. #vawx #ncwx #wvwx

Tar Creek didn’t seem like an inviting home for wildlife. So why did beavers move in and start cleaning up the joint? sc.org/3vy0CD7

Today, for the first time, OMB is formally accounting for climate change risks in the Federal Budget. Based on outside experts’ range of GDP impacts, climate change could lead to annual Federal revenue losses at end of century of 7%, or $2 trillion a year in today’s dollars.

As mask mandates are lifted, this is an important point to keep in mind: 1 person with N95/KN95/KF94: 90+% protection 1 person with surgical mask: ~50% protection 2 people with surgical mask: ~75% protection And to be fair 2 people with N95/KN95/KF94: 99% protection
