7:20 PM- NO ONE is out of the woods yet. We have received many calls asking if it's over. The worst hasn't not approached any area except for Terrebonne and even then the south side of the eye wall is NOT on shore. Keep sheltering in place!

An extreme storm in central Europe is bringing record early snow to the Alps & threatens potentially catastrophic flooding in Austria, Czech Republic and eastern Germany. Some areas could see over a foot of rain, or multiple months worth, over the weekend. Rainfall forecast ⬇️

Wally Broecker and I wrote about the possibility that there might be a northward shift of the ‘thermal equator’ as NH warming outpaces that in the south. pnas.org/doi/full/10.10…

Flooding in parts of Central Europe is shaping up to be just as bad as many feared. This is footage from Głuchołazy in Poland near the border with the Czech Republic.
