#WDEFNews12 #TimeSaverTraffic - As of 6:40 EST, single vehicle crash remains on I-24W... left lane blocked. Alternative routes suggested.

"... the Colorado River runs through two countries and five states on its way to the Gulf of California. Or at least it used to. The river hasn’t met the sea in decades. All that water disappeared into a complicated web of poor management, short-sighted policies, and human infrastructure, as this video from PBS Terra explores.The good news is that we can still change that and rehabilitate the landscapes we’ve lost.

#WDEFWeather #News12Weather #BlipCast Thursday: On the downward slide to the weekend with clouds tonight and clearing skies for Friday. Looking ahead towards the end of next week, a new storm system to watch.
Details tonight on @WDEFNews12 at 5:30, 6, 7 & 11.

@GreenCheese 17 days in hurricane season. #JustSayin

#TropicalStormSara forms in the western Caribbean.

"Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts.

Some strengthening is possible if the center of Sara remains
offshore of the northern coast of Honduras."

"Helene roared ashore Florida’s coast in late September 2024 as a Category 4 hurricane. But arguably the worst-hit area was hundreds of miles north, across the southern Appalachian Mountains. A deluge of rainfall over a 4-day period, September 25 through September 28, 2024, turned trickling creeks into roaring rivers. Rivers overflowed their banks, and washed out entire mountain towns, neighborhoods, and roads." - NOAA Climate.gov

Agree to disagree, especially after listening to Mr. Sagan. As a Christian who believes in science, looking at the marvels of the universe around us, for me at least, it is truly worth believing in.

“Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality. ... The notion that science and spirituality are somehow mutually exclusive does a disservice to both.”
― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

#ScienceRules "If it disagrees with experiment, it is wrong. In that simple statement is the key to science. It does not make any difference how beautiful your guess is, it does not make any difference how smart you are, who made the guess, or what his name is — if it disagrees with experiment, it is wrong." - R. Feynman

@TrueBloodNet "Just a reminder they plan on disbanding NOAA."

Until that happens, I plan on posting as much as possible regarding #WhatNOAADoes and why it is so important, and so should everyone else.

The idea of replacing NOAA with a private forecasting firm is laughable as there is NO private firm that can do what NOAA does to its level of expertise and reach. Even though the future looks grim, we need to talk about this as much as possible, now and after P2025 launches its efforts.

#PlanetNOAA Podcast Episode 10: Hail, yeah!

Dive into the science and observational tech that helps us research and predict severe weather—including hurricanes—with the scientists that make those innovations possible. Dr. Steve Thur gives us an inside look into how NOAA Research studies scientific phenomena from the deepest depths of the ocean to the stars above. - NOAA.gov

The best part of presenting weather and science to kids (like I did today at Chattanooga School For The Arts & Sciences) is the questions. Like Carl Sagan found, they ask the most interesting questions. Much less of that curiousity in higher grade levels. Always great to see that interest in and desire to know more about the world they live in. #ScienceRules

#WDEFWeather #News12Weather #BlipCast Wednesday: Clouds and rain on their way for tonight and early Thursday. Continued mild on temperatures with signs of a chill this time next week.
Details coming up on @WDEFNews12 at 5:30, 6, 7 & 11.

Stray showers and maybe a rumble of thunder while taking the dog for a walk this evening. Thanks to David Baley for a view of pupper Caspian, Wednesday's @RuffCutsCleveland #DogWalkingForecast.

Potential Tropical Cyclone 19 forms in the Caribbean.

The system is moving toward the
west near 6 mph (9 km/h). A westward motion should continue during the next few days, with a decrease in forward speed.

Maximum sustained winds are near 30 mph (45 km/h) with higher gusts. Strengthening is expected during the next few days, and the system is forecast to become a tropical storm on Thursday and continue strengthening as it moves near the coast of Central America.
