Big Sur, California just recorded its warmest water temperature in recorded history. 67.3°F on Monday, 11°F above normal. Record warm waters for October now span much of the California coast from San Diego to the Bay Area. You can see well above normal sea surface temperatures spreading north throughout October.

No change in drought status across KOTA Territory this week. Most of the area remains in drought with almost half in severe or worse. Local conditions may vary. #SDwx #WYwx #MTwx

Look at this jumbo-sized cyclonic perfection from Super Typhoon In-fa east of the Mariana Islands this morning. His gigantic, mega-arena of an eye has reached a dryness of <-9.8 C, a remarkably impressive value for a storm this large. A CAT 5 upgrade isn’t out of the question.

October, from the mountains to the prairies in Montana

This is my video of the Hudson river on the morning of Hurricane Sandy. I remember thinking to myself "If it's this bad now, I can't phantom what tonight will bring". More videos from that day - night posted later today.

October 29, 2012: Hurricane Sandy made landfall as a massive post-tropical Category 1 in New Jersey. Impacts in the Northeast were devastating, ranging from storm surge to inland flooding to fires that burned entire neighborhoods. 160 people were killed in the US. #wxhistory

Arapahoe Basin will become the first ski resort in North America to open their doors for the 2026-27 ski season at 11am today! Colorado's had at least one ski resort open in October each year since 1992. Last weekend's snow helps A-Basin get on the board first in '26-'27. #COwx

1 year ago today, we witnessed one of the most extreme Atlantic satellite loops of our time. As the sun rose over the Caribbean Sea, Category 5 Hurricane Melissa became the STRONGEST Atlantic Hurricane in recorded history. 190 MPH sustained winds. Gusts up to ~252 MPH (the highest wind gust ever measured by dropsonde globally). An 892 MBAR eye of worldwide-record dryness. And, the most intense known storm to ever landfall in the island of Jamaica.

Good morning from Wyoming!
