Good time to download the free mPING app and become a citizen scientist by submitting precip and other types of reports to the National Weather Service and greater weather-interested community.

Be careful out there folks. Influenza is spreading like wildfire. Apparently, the Canadians have determined the vaccine is a mismatch this year. Wife and I are both vaxxed and sick as dogs. Test confirmed Influenza A.

Geese heading south now. It's pretty cool the things our radars can see.

Amongst all going on tonight, I post this radar velocity image. No weather, just the last of bird migration. The radar is the little black circle in the middle. All the birds in green above where the radar is are heading south. Those below it in red are also heading south.

To be clear, I am antifa. I have taken an oath to the Constitution multiple times, reaffirming so. My ancestors were as well. We're American. Not Russian, Nazi, maga, or any stupid shit like that. We are, correctly, the melting pot. Neighbors. Americans. I'll be at No Kings. Support each other.

What we know so far: The guns are safe. The guns were not harmed. It was just people who were killed and injured, the guns are safe.

That's not how afternoon showers should appear on radar on Sept 5th.

It would be good if the war on science by the weirdo conspiracy crowd ended. At the same time, science doesn't care.

A very rare Alberta Clipper in early September. Normally, this happens midwinter and is all snow. It's all rain at this time of year. Interesting radar presentation.

In the world of weird: Chewy has commercials featuring doggos Homer, Radar, and Dash. We had Homer, who passed in 2015, then adopted Radar in 2019. This year, we adopted Dash. Homer and Dash were not named by us. Sometimes, the neighbor's labradoodle comes to play with the boys. Her name is Chewy.

Does climate change mean you'll lose money? Let's kill climate science. Do accurate job numbers undermine your bullshit? Let's kill our statistical experts.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" and the Project 2025 "Climate change alarm industry" are soundbites invented by those who want to enable end stage capitalism at the expense of us. Rejecting Trump and understanding we need to live sustainably and democratically are now considered "extreme." Really??

When Jami says she knows a lot about radar, she's being humble. She literally trained all the NWS meteorologists on it when the WSR-88D doppler radars were fielded in the 90s.
I happen to know a lot about weather radar. They are spectacularly complex, designed for only one purpose: detecting and locating rain, snow, hail, etc. Transmission is in milliseconds and at a wavelength like your microwave oven.
I also remember when scientists were respected 😩😢

The "Alt NOAA" account is currently spreading misinformation about weather alerts and claiming that cell phone alerts don't exist and you have to have a weather radio. Cell phone alerts absolutely do exist, check your settings to make sure you didn't turn them off.

So, let me get this straight. We're building concentration camps in Florida and Texas. Republicans want to throw hundreds of billions to the American Gestapo, and our Supreme Court now overrides the Constitution. Got it. We're the boiling frogs.

MUST WATCH: Oceanside CA: Militarized DHS (HSI) smashed windows, assault rifles drawn, tossed flashbangs and sent drones into the apartment which had 2 kids inside. They then told neighbors they were going to use tear gas, and they’d probably be exposed. Please share widely. WTF
