The lack of morning weather balloons launched across the western and central U.S. is having a real, tangible impact on degrading forecast quality.
We can't look at weather balloon data that doesn't exist. We can't pump nonexistent data into models. We can't rely as heavily on models that don't "know" what's happening above our heads.
Today's severe weather forecast is less certain because we don't have weather balloon data to confirm the strength of jet stream winds aloft.
This is extremely frustrating, and is the result of logistical, organizational, political and budgetary decisions.
Ate some hot wings before bed last night and woke up like this all throughout the night 😩😩😩
Lawd Jesus why me?!? This is the stuff they don’t tell you when you’re building your eating habits in your 20’s…😂
Yesterday was a dope ass day man. 🙌🏽

Ended it shooting Fantasia at Legacy Fest. 🖤
Grateful for this life.

BREAKING: Adam Hoffman has been released from jail for "good behavior."
Hoffman is the 49-year-old Waco, TX attorney who faced life without parole for repeatedly raping a young boy, until Texas AG Ken Paxton offered him 1 day in jail and no need to register as a sex offender. A judge increased his sentence to a whopping 60 days. He got out in 30 days.

Republicans in Texas have lost their minds! This is what fascism looks like!
Jennifer Combs of Trinidad, TX was ARRESTED and charged with FELONY “false alarm” simply for posting on Facebook about residents getting hospitalized from bacteria filled drinking water.
The town’s pipes are from the 1950s, they issued a boil-water notice, and TCEQ is investigating.
Instead of fixing the toxic water, they threw her in jail for speaking out?!
This is what fascism looks like.
Of course Lane donated to a racist ex-cop’s GoFundMe after he was fired from his job for being a racist.
Supporting pedos and racists, that’s Lane Brown for ya. 🫡
@SonyAlpha Yes, can I get a loaner to test out on my A7 RIV shooting Tulsa’s Guinness World Record attempt for the largest classic car parade at the end of this month? 😅
