This is ridiculous. Welcome to our new world.
A live tiger will attend the LSU-Alabama football game in Baton Rouge, but it won't be resident mascot Mike VII. bit.ly/3ClJDtx

I have switched to just the Kornacki cam. Both oddly meditative and deeply anxiety inducing as he flips through all the results when he isn’t on camera.

Excited for the combination national election/special session/hurricane/Alabama game week
TROPICS UPDATE: Future Rafael is expected to strengthen to a Cat 1 hurricane as it enters the Gulf by Wed. It's headed in the general of Louisiana by next weekend. It'll run into wind shear, dry air, and cooler water which will weaken it on approach. How much it weakens is tbd.

#Milton “pushing the boundaries of what this basin/planet can produce.”
This afternoon's bout of intensification in #Milton is pretty remarkable given the SST just north of the Yucatan is "only" about 28-29C. It's actually about to move into even warmer water, 30-31C, over the loop current in the SE Gulf. Whether it takes full advantage depends on the core structure (does an ERC start), but the theoretical MPI ("speed limit") here is probably pushing the boundaries of what this basin/planet can produce.

It’s making those gravity waves again…
Simply a jaw-dropping view into #Milton's eye this afternoon on visible satellite data! Recent satellite imagery and the latest microwave pass suggests that the system could be primed for another period of intensification and deepening this evening.

#HurricaneMilton is tied for the 8th lowest minimum pressure in recorded history in the Atlantic Basin. Min pressure of 905mb. Katrina was 902mb at peak. Rita was 895mb at peak. Wilma was 882mb at peak. First recon pass just now measured 898mb min pressure…rare company.

Just watched two videos of two different seasoned meteorologists get choked up trying to report on potential impacts of #Milton. Folks, time to get out. Get to those shelters.

All night he talked about himself and about her. She, by contrast, talked about you. Because that’s who she works for.

being a moderator is a crazy job, just sitting and listening for a full minute and saying "thank you, but nobody is eating dogs"
