Weathering the Odds: How Weather Data and Modeling Enhances Sports Betting

Did you know heavy snow can decrease scoring in NFL games by an average of 10 points? 👀

Excited to announce we are working on a project exploring how weather data and modeling are transforming the $100+ billion sports betting industry, especially for @NFL and @NCAA football.

The Great Lakes is on waterspout watch this weekend! 🌪️

A waterspout outbreak is possible on the Great Lakes this weekend as a pocket of high altitude frigid air, low pressure and spin moves overhead.

Lake-effect showers will propagate along Lakes Erie and Ontario, with vorticity, or spin, to spawn spouts over the warmer waters.

The Atlantic has had no named storm formations since #Ernesto on August 12. The last time that the Atlantic had no named storm formations between August 13 - September 3 was in 1968. The remarkably quiet period for Atlantic #hurricane activity continues.

Phoenix, Arizona, just experienced one of the hottest summers ever recorded by any major city on Earth.

The average temperature for the entire summer was 99°F (37.2°C).

There is an increasing chance of a named storm forming as this tropical wave meanders closer to the Lesser Antilles by early next week.

The next name on the list is Francine.

Here's a shot from NASA's Moderate Resolution Spectroradiometer (MODIS) from the Terra satellite right after the special statement from the NWS:

19 years ago today, Hurricane Katrina made landfall in Louisiana as a Category 3 hurricane.

While wind impacts were severe, levee breaches and failures brought catastrophic flooding.

This was a special message transmitted by the local National Weather Service two days before:

This map shows where the best weather is in the United States.

Do you agree?

Hello CoSo, the @MyRadar Repeating Hamster Here...

You've probably noticed over the past 4 months or so, the @MyRadar account has been less active. That's because the Repeating Hamster has an _actual_ job at MyRadar and does the Meteorology team retooting as a side project when they have time.

The Hamster has been VERY VERY busy over the past 4 months doing their real job. But they are finally out of Crunch time and hope to be better at repeating the MyRadar SM posts.

Iowa and Minnesota storms

⛈️A few severe thunderstorms are likely over the northern Plains

Damaging winds, large hail and a couple tornadoes are possible. Thunderstorms will be ongoing by early afternoon and will intensify into the evening.

MyRadar meteorologist Matthew Cappucci has an update.

Welp, we're officially in peak hurricane season, and the Atlantic is quiet.

Too quiet, in fact.

What gives? Meteorologist
@MatthewCappucci
is working on a hurricane season update timing out when the next pulse of activity is set to kick off. Stay tuned.

Hurricane Ernesto's outer bands are impacting the island of Bermuda. Large waves have already shut down a road on the NE side of the island. Conditions are expected to deteriorate quickly and power outages have been reported.
