@maryadams16214 Just saw this! So cute. Hopefully I didn’t get swatted at😹

@TRGTornado Yes, and? This area has the most hurricane landfalls in the Atlantic basin on record and you are "watching" the rest of the hurricane season...

[NWS Miami @NWSMiami]

8/26 @ 5pm: #TD10 has formed, here is the latest as of the 5pm @NHC_Atlantic Advisory. A couple things to keep in mind:
- Tropical impacts can extend well outside of the forecast cone.
- Heavy rain and hazardous marine/beach conditions could be possible next week.

Roughly 2,800 miles of consecutive heat advisories or excessive heat warnings across the U.S. today.
Each @NWS office has different criteria warranted for that specific region, but the entire southern border of the U.S. is extremely hot.

🌪️Check out this waterspout, spotted from our Marco Beach camera , swirling in the Gulf just after 7 this evening.

Waterspout spotted from Sanibel Island late this morning🌪️

This one looks to have stayed offshore and was not the storm that prompted the tornado warning.

The actual reason I wanted to become a meteorologist was so I could tell my fiancé where the nearest lightning strike was to where he was seeking shelter on the golf course.😳
