The primary reason for CSU's below-normal Atlantic #hurricane season forecast is a high likelihood for a moderate/strong #ElNino. El Nino typically decreases Atlantic hurricane activity via increases in Caribbean/tropical Atlantic vertical wind shear.

The Spurs know how to TAKE the lead, they just don't know how to HOLD the lead. And that's really the most important part of the lead: the holding

The World Cup begins tomorrow, and many will watch the matches. Soccer reminds us of something we must not forget: life is not a race to show off on our own, but a path we learn to walk together. Anyone who does not know how to pass the ball, even if they have talent, has not yet understood the game. Anyone who does not know how to live with and for others has not yet understood life. #ApostolicJourney

“For the past year, FIFA has leased an office on the 17th floor of New York’s Trump Tower that has sat all but empty. The rent goes to President Trump’s family business, but soccer officials say the space sits largely idle.” nytimes.com/2026/06/09/world…

Official today: Capital Weather is independent once again. Twenty-two years after launching Capital Weather as an independent weather website for the DC area — and 18 years after first partnering with The Washington Post and becoming the Capital Weather Gang — we are independent again. Today, we’re officially launching a new chapter at capitalweather.com and on our new mobile app. We are committed to making our core forecasts and updates free and accessible to everyone. Your support will make this possible. Here is what we’ve built and how you can support us. What we’ve built: ☀️ Around-the-clock forecasts and live updates 📧 Expanded newsletters 📱 A new Capital Weather app 🌦️ Interactive weather and climate tools 💬 A stronger community experience 🎙️ We will continue to provide forecasts on WAMU 88.5 How you can boost and sustain our independent launch: • Support our work at capitalweather.com/support-u… • Download the Capital Weather app on iOS or Android • Make Capital Weather your everyday weather source • Share this post with friends and family across the DMV Some of you have already joined our community and we could not be more grateful. Since pioneering digital local weather coverage in 2004, we’ve believed weather is something we all experience together. Your questions, storm reports, photos, and conversations have helped shape Capital Weather into one of the nation’s leading regional weather communities. Our mission remains the same as always: to be the most trusted everyday source for DC-area weather forecasts, breaking updates, and in-depth weather and climate news. From sunny days to stormy days — and from Snowmageddon (2010) to Snowcrete (2026) — it’s been an incredible ride. Thank you for being part of this community. We’re incredibly excited for what’s ahead.

🌊 Beneath the ocean’s surface, thousands of robotic floats are actively helping scientists understand our changing planet. This #WorldOceanDay, we're celebrating the Argo Program, a global network of autonomous floats that measure temperature, salinity & ocean conditions. 🧵⬇️

Scientists are sounding the alarm about a new rule that would dramatically change how the federal gov't makes grant funding decisions. The rule is extraordinarily sweeping, and could have huge impacts on health and climate research. cnn.com/2026/06/04/climate/t…

Trump Administration to Dismantle #Ocean Monitoring System | By @ENiiler for @NYTScience The $368 million network of instruments collecting data in both the Atlantic and Pacific has been critical to climate and #ocean research. nytimes.com/2026/06/01/clima… #deepsea #marine

CORRUPTION ON THE SEA: Removing Sensors So You Won’t Know Big Oil Is Making It Hotter #climate nytimes.com/2026/06/01/clima… via @NYTimes

I’ve posted about this before, and this epitomizes the issue: this is the direct result of the irresponsible, idiotic severe cuts to @NOAA / @NWS. No spin or opinion…this is 100% FACT. This never happened before these cuts. THIS HURTS EVERY. SINGLE. AMERICAN.

At a time when ocean temperatures are smashing records and scientists are still trying to understand how fast the system is shifting under climate change, they are talking about scrapping a 368 million dollar early warning network that has ALREADY BEEN PAID FOR by tax payers. This is not just a few sensors in the sea. It is a network of ~900 instruments measuring temperature, currents, carbon, chemistry and ecosystem change. It was designed to deliver long term data over decades. This would effectively end key long running records and that matters because ocean data only becomes powerful over time. You cannot rebuild a continuous climate record once it is interrupted.

As a meteorologist, I can say without hesitation that discontinuing this dataset would be another significant blow to my science, just like the cuts to the NWS that have caused adverse impacts to the radiosonde (weather balloon) network.

Climate change has put the oceans in deep trouble, and now the Trump admin is ditching a $368 million deep-sea monitoring system. cnn.com/2026/06/03/climate/o…

Turnip's trying to blind climate scientists into silence. No data, no science, no warning. The clueless idiots are dismantling a decade-old, $368m deep-ocean observation system that monitors coastal environments, marine ecosystems and ocean currents. (NYT) nytimes.com/2026/06/01/clima…
