Friendly reminder that I post more often over on Bluesky these days... no algorithm gods to appease is a big plus.

Rain for most, and a glaze of ice possible the farther northwest you go through the evening. @DanSmithWeather has the latest.

We're issuing a First Alert Weather Day for late Wednesday through Thursday morning. Winds have ramped up even more, peaking near 45 mph both Wednesday (from the SW) and Thursday (from the NW). Windchill near zero Thursday AM, along with quick bursts of snow reducing visibility.

Chilly winds combining with wet snow Thursday morning has prompted a First Alert Weather Day to be issued. While snow *amounts* will be fairly low (a little over 1" on the grass), the *rate* during the AM commute will likely reduce visibility and could lead to slick spots.

Tropical Storm Rafael has now formed between Cuba and Colombia, expected to make landfall in western Cuba as a Category 2 storm early Wednesday. Unlike Helene/Milton, the Gulf does NOT look to help Rafael intensify before a TX/LA landfall late this weekend.

Saturday morning and afternoon are looking dry, the rain shouldn't arrive until the evening. Waves of showers and storms are likely Saturday night, and there could be some heavy downpours. Then, just a brief shower or two is possible Sunday with a NW breeze gusting up to 35 mph.

Beautiful tribute from @NOAA_HurrHunter who earlier this evening honored longtime radar scientist and researcher Peter Dodge who passed away in March 2023.
His ashes were dropped in the eye of Category 5 Milton tonight –

5pm update: As expected, Milton has regained Category 5 strength thanks to its "eyewall replacement". It's still slated to come back down to a borderline Cat 3/4, with offshore wind shear reducing its power before making landfall near Tampa late Wednesday/early Thursday.

For God's sakes, don't tell me to "do research" on weather. I'm a meteorologist. My literal job is to research the weather.

Milton nears the record strongest hurricane... just 10 mph shy of tying the wind speeds recorded with Allen in 1980.

*HURRICANE MILTON UPDATE*
UNBELIEVABLE! Hurricane Milton now with max sustained winds up to 180 mph, gusts to 220! This is in record territory for observed winds in a hurricane.
The storm is expected to make landfall late Wednesday, most likely track near/just north of Tampa.

MORE TROUBLE IN THE TROPICS:
Tropical Storm Milton has developed in the western Gulf of Mexico and will head east. Unfortunately, the west coast of Florida could be hit hard during the middle of next week. It's currently forecast to make landfall as a major Category 3 hurricane.

Sunday's winds will REALLY whip up Lake Erie! Dangerous conditions for boaters.
