Sun 6/14 2 PM EDT: A trough is producing showers and storms over northeastern Mexico, and no development is expected in the next 24-48 h. However, the system could move into the northwestern Gulf by midweek where conditions may become more favorable for development. Heavy rain and flash flooding are possible across parts of Texas and Louisiana this week. Check out hurricanes.gov and weather.gov for the latest information.

Remember, even if the Atlantic hurricane season ends up being below to near normal, it only takes one storm in your community to make it a bad hurricane season for you. Prepare this year like you would any other!

Supertyphoon #Sinlaku is putting on a show over the western Pacific this am- satellite estimates are starting to peak as high as Melissa last year! The Marianas need to be taking all precautions before this monster hits tomorrow.

I asked my producers not to make any clips from the dad grief portion but enough people reached out about this part I changed my mind. Jim Nantz on what Arnold Palmer told him about his dad is one of the most impactful things I’ve ever heard. A lot of people need to hear this.
I kept an interview with Jim Nantz on the books after my dad’s passing this week because my dad would want me to keep going. Once we stared I found out Jim had done a ton of research into the man my father was and we spent a remarkable episode talking about dads. Link below.

Small taste of #Hurricane #MELISSA on SW coast of #Jamaica, just as we started getting raked by violent right eyewall. Belive it or not, this was before the peak conditions, when everything turned white, the screaming sound became unbearable, & we needed to bolt the door shut.

Footage from inside Sangster International Airport shows rain pouring through missing ceiling panels and flooding parts of the departure lounge after Hurricane Melissa ripped through western Jamaica earlier today. The Category 5 storm made landfall in St Elizabeth around 11 a.m., leaving widespread destruction. Melissa has since weakened to Category 3 but could regain strength before hitting Cuba tomorrow. #HurricaneMelissa #Jamaica #MontegoBay #WeatherUpdate #JamaicaObserver
