About a week to go in October 2024 and looking like it'll wind up being a very dry month's end if no rain reaches us soon.
All that and much more in tonight's @WDEFNews12 #weatherblog #WeatherOvertime. #ShareAndEnjoy

"Yup, it’s a mad, mad, mad, mad world!"
True. Doesn't mean we have to sit back and accept uninformed, dangerous behavior. All the more reason to stand up to pseudoscience and those who create chaos just because they can.
#wdefWeather #News12Weather #BlipCast Wednesday: Peak Of The Week very dry and sunny, repeat that into the weekend and you have a pretty good idea of the extended forecast.
Details tonight on @WDEFNews12 at 5:30, 6, 7 & 11.
"An important fact check to read." - NOAA Climate.gov

'When Hurricanes Hit, Online Chatter Drowns Out Safety Messaging'
"The team’s research does suggest some ways that officials can maximize the chances of #safetymessages reaching a broad audience. Descriptive messaging about storms tends to outperform safety messages, for instance—so combining the two, and weaving public safety notifications or warnings into more descriptive social-media posts, might help to boost the reach of such messages."

"On the third Thursday of every month, NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center issues an outlook for temperature and precipitation for the United States for the coming month. These climate outlooks are updated on the last day of each month. Those updated outlooks are the basis for the posts that appear on Climate.gov each month. Seasonal (90-day) outlooks are released around the middle of each month. " @NOAA Climate.gov
Gullies and Arcuate Ridges
This observation shows gullies and arcuate ridges in a crater in the Southern Hemisphere of Mars. Arcuate ridges and gullies are found together at many places on Mars, leading some researchers to suggest that their coexistence may be a result of a single process.
@POOetryma "Such people resent and fear, often quite strongly, those of us who value knowledge and learning, and who try our best to inform others about any given topic."
All the more reason to fight back as strongly as possible by presenting facts and science. Tiring and frustrating as hell, but the only way to beat back the darkness.
Next best chance for rain somewhere around trick-or-treat time. Not to worry as we have a long time between here and there, and with as dry as it has been, good possibility that trend will continue into early November.
Plus, more on dangerous #WeatherMisinformation and death threats against fellow meteorologists.
