Thanks, Tammie Souza Weather. We appreciate the support.

In case you missed it:

Climate change boosts the frequency and intensity of extreme weather that wreaks havoc on the power grid.
Of all major U.S. power outages reported from 2000-2023, 80% were due to weather.

Catastrophic damage in Sulphur, Oklahoma, after an overnight tornado. #OKwx

The last two days have been unbelievable -- per my count of IEM storm-based warning data I have 250 tornado warnings and 494 severe thunderstorm warnings during the UTC days of the 26th, 27th, and up to 11:30z today!

🔥🌡️ Some unusually early, summer-like warmth will arrive for Monday with forecast high temperatures well into the mid to upper 80s. In fact, a few record highs could be challenged. #PAwx #NJwx #DEwx #MDwx

Two consecutive EF4+ tornado days are not particularly common: it's happened 26 times since 1950, and only twice in the last ten years. If violent tornadoes are confirmed both Friday and Saturday, which seems plausible, it'll be the first since 2019.

Heavy rainfall events, like the one that hit the UAE & Oman last week, are 10-40% heavier than they were before humans warmed the climate.

While we couldn't complete a full attribution analysis, multiple lines of evidence point to climate change as the driver of the increase.

Big, esp. for local TV newsrooms that have traditionally relied on non-competes to keep top talent. A win for talent, and more important than ever for news leaders to make their newsrooms a place good people want to work.

While the period of record is short as the official Denver weather observation site, NWS says the 6.3” of new snow at Denver Int'l Airport is likely the latest 6”+ snow occurrence there

If you're running or watching TCS London Marathon on Sunday then keep your eyes out for the Warming Stripes on the course!

Why not start a climate conversation when you see them?

New study:

1820s - Fourier suggests greenhouse analogy to explain Earth’s temperature

1850s - Foote & Tyndall show CO2, CH4 & H2O are key atmospheric ingredients for greenhouse effect

1890s - Arrhenius estimates amount of warming if CO2 is doubled

1930s - CO2 increase & warming observed

Mother nature meets our clean energy future!

This happened during severe storms in Iowa on Tuesday.

Wind turbines are built to withstand very high wind speeds, but if winds go above a turbine's cut-out speed (usually around 55 mph), it will automatically shut off.
