El Niño has arrived - and it's on track to be a big one. From transatlantic flight times to Panama Canal shipping delays, to the cost of a candy bar or even just a bottle of soap, its effects can pop up all over the economy. (gift link) bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
exas faces a weekend of flooding, including areas that were devastated in July. This time, some of the heavy rain will be beneficial because of drought, but flooding is always a deadly risk. My @business colleague @laurenthal
has our story here:

Hawaii is in line for another Kona low through the middle of next week. Flood watches and other hazard markers are up all over the islands. Hawaii got battered last month with two big storms. weather.gov/hfo
Providence just destroyed the record books.
37.9 inches of snow, crushing the Blizzard of 78 by more than 9 inches.
The largest storm in Rhode Island history and the highest snowfall ever recorded at an I-95 Northeast climate site.
And it is still lightly snowing.
A snow-covered I-80 in California turned into a parking lot near Emigrant Gap, where dozens of trucks were stuck and traffic was backed up for more than six miles after heavy snow forced a shutdown of the eastbound lanes.

A deep freeze in the Northern Hemisphere would likely mean higher power and natural gas prices, adding to the cost burden for ratepayers as inflation remains stubbornly high, writes @WeatherSullivan@joewertz and @maryhuibloomberg.com/news/newslette…
Unfortunately some of the barrier islands near the Black River have been cut off, with their only road being washed away. Hoping aid is coming their way!

NOAA is flying over over the area affected by Hurricane Melissa to support disaster response efforts in Jamaica. Find all the available imagery in our viewer: storms.ngs.noaa.gov/storms/m…

#Melissa getting organized, latest NHC forecast is catastrophic for #Jamaica, #Haiti, eastern #Cuba ... impacts over 30% of GDP (>$6 Billion) in Jamaica possible.
There's a "tug of war" emerging between Arctic atmosphere (where air near surface is warming faster than high altitudes) and tropics (where high-altitude air is warming faster), and the as-yet TBD outcome will have major implications for global weather patterns. youtu.be/PDV0eCb7UAw
Typhoon #Kaijiki is making landfall in #Vietnam, more powerful than forecast. Impacts likely to be over $1 Billion; that would be like a $60-70 Billion storm for the US (like a Helene or Sandy). Elsewhere no threats. enkiops.org/2025/08/25/typho…
A large portion of the Atlantic coastline will see the risk for high surf and rip currents increase this week due to #Erin.
🟥Risk of Rip Currents is High🟥
Life-threatening rip currents are likely. Swimming conditions are unsafe for all levels of swimmers. Stay out of the water. Always follow advice from the local beach patrol and flag warning systems.

I rarely use X anymore --sorry guys, I noticed today a bunch of you have been poking at me lately. I love that you love me enough to care!!! Ha, anyway I wanted to post a photo of the Moon as it is right now. Good-bye Jim Lovell.
