I had the chance to talk about Beryl on Sunday...before the storm hit category five strength. Check it out!

Can't say it enough—this would be a remarkable satellite image during the peak of hurricane season, let alone on July 1st.

Hurricane Beryl is a category four with 130 mph winds, just 18 hours after first becoming a hurricane. This is the strongest Atlantic storm we've ever seen this early in the year. Any storm that can take root could erupt with these record-warm sea surface temps in the Atlantic. The vibe ain't good.

It's now Hurricane Beryl. It's one thing to know this could be an active season. It's another thing to actually see a hurricane form deep in the tropical Atlantic on June 29th. Geez.

The closest we've gotten to a major hurricane near the Lesser Antilles in July was Hurricane Emily, which reached category three status in the eastern Caribbean on July 14, 2005.

Tropical Storm Beryl is expected to rapidly intensify into a major hurricane before hitting parts of the Lesser Antilles on Monday. Here's a comprehensive map of all the major hurricanes that have hit the Lesser Antilles during the month of July.

We've got Tropical Depression Two out in the Atlantic. If soon-to-be-Beryl (possiBeryl?) strengthens into a hurricane by Sunday as predicted, it'll be the farthest east we've ever seen a hurricane form in the tropical Atlantic in June.

Every corrupt Supreme Court decision is a reminder "the election of our lifetime" was 2016 and everything after is a decision on how many decades of horrors we have to endure. A second Trump term would cement this miserable court through the middle of the century.

This is the first time since I started paying attention as a teenager that I'll skip a presidential debate. No need to raise my blood pressure. Joe Biden is a fundamentally decent person who's done a good job considering what he's up against, and I'd crawl through a blizzard to vote for him.

Keep an eye on a tropical disturbance moving into the Caribbean by next week. It's expected to be a very active hurricane season. Use the quiet time now to prepare for what may happen over the coming weeks and months.

If a tornado outbreak killed a few hundred people, it would be remembered as a national tragedy. When a heat wave kills a few hundred people, it's the butt of countless jokes. It's a mistake to shrug off the deadly threat of extreme heat.

Here's a comparison of sea surface temp anomalies between this year (left) and last year (right). Last year's SSTs across the Atlantic were able to overpower El Niño to drive one of the most active seasons on record. This year, temps are even warmer and we might see a La Niña.

5-10" of rain could fall across the Texas and Louisiana coasts this week as a tropical disturbance moseys into the Gulf. It's a reminder that water temps across the Atlantic are ripping hot right now, and it doesn't take a named storm to make a big mess.

My Facebook feed is almost 100% "suggested" pages posting stolen images or straight-up AI spam. There's hardly anything from friends, and almost never anything from pages I actually follow. The new algorithm they launched sucks.

Played with QGIS a little today and I think this is my first successful orthographic projection. 🥳 Every previous attempt had random lines scribbled everywhere or flat-out broke the program.

Stay alert for an extended stretch of high humid heat across much of the eastern U.S. through next week. The compounding effects of hot days and stuffy nights one after another will increase the risk to vulnerable people.

This is an adaptation of an article I wrote for The Vane back in 2015. Since greedy vulture capitalists scrubbed that blog from the internet, I adapted and published the story for DAMWeather. (Call it Dennis' Version.)

Here's a deep dive into the 2015 supercell that produced a high-end EF-4 tornado in northern Illinois. The story tracks the storm across two hours from its start as a tiny shower to the moment it levels part of a tiny town called Fairdale.

Florida is going to see a tremendous amount of rain over the next seven days. Forecasters expect 10"+ for much of southern FL, with totals of 15"+ possible around Naples and Marco Island. Rain will be fueled by a stream of deep tropical moisture that's near record highs for this time of year.

PTI Airport pitching flights into Dulles as "seamless travel to the nation's capital" is almost a laughable stretch. Dulles is 45 minutes outside of D.C. on a good day. That's like driving from Greensboro to Danville.
