I didn't know this. 

The brown area has a significant risk of tornadoes and the hatching indicates that any that occur could be strong.  In Oklahoma, the significant risk area includes Idabel, in Texas it includes Paris. And, in Tennessee, the significant risk includes Dyersburg as well as Memphis.  I will not be able to provide my continuous coverage on Twitter/X today so please keep up on the latest weather information. 

  The people of Kansas -- and the United States -- are supposed to go along with two more 'renewable' energy boondoggles. I'm completely against both for the reasons below.  Big Climate wants to build another 'renewable' energy project southwest of Wichita. The red rectangle highlights the heads (the "good stuff") of the winter wheat plants.  The project is another where Big Climate will grab the profits while local people are left with the pollution; and both the United States and the World are left with ever-dwindling farmland for growing food. Keep in mind that from 1776 -- our nation's first 246 years -- we had been self-sufficient in food. We have always fed ourselves and had enough left over to export to other countries. No longer. Since 2022, the  United States no longer feeds itself!   The KWCH-TV Channel 12 story puts the frequently asserted statement to rest that "we only put these projects on land that isn't suitable for farming....

This video is a view south from Hawaii. If you believe the global warming hype, this picturesque, pacific scene represents yet another mortal threat. The problem is that El Ninos (see below) have different effects on the weather -- no two are exactly alike. So enjoy a few seconds of tranquility and read the rest of this posting if you would like. We have no way of knowing accurately the intensity of El Ninos 150 years ago, as we just have just scattered measurements of ocean temperatures from ships. This is pure hype about global warming...err...cooling...err...warming or whatever Gore is pushing this week.  NOAA is only forecasting a 61% chance of an El Nino, let alone an extreme event. Their mean temperature forecast shows nothing extraordinary. You can see NOAA's forecast here . 

Publishee Monday, May 4 Posted Sunday, May 3 Unless you have a job like meteorologists' who work 24/7/365, I'm going to suggest to my everyone to make sure we are all devoting enough time to God and family. There are no more important things we can do.  Of course, if you go to church or synagogue/temple on a different day of the week, that's fine with me!

Here is a sampling of the feedback received pertaining to The Crisis in the National Weather Service .  From a reporter whose specialty is weather reporting. From a media meteorologist: From a retired meteorologist: From a currently active meteorologist: It's not confined to tornado warnings. Ever see the "carpet bomb" [severe thunderstorm warnings] that extend for 100s of miles along the length of a squall line? I recall one squall line that had solid SVR warnings from ORF to SAV (so not just a single WFO doing this). It was one of those low-topped, cool season events. The thing is gradient winds were already strong ahead of the squall line gusting to 35-45 mph, and you looked at actual obs when the squall line passed (there are a *lot* of [airport weather] sites these days for ground truth), and none were showing any increase in winds, gusty or otherwise. Is this really good forecast/warning science being applied? And I don't want to hear, "better safe than sor...
