Our goal at the Big 12 is simple: keep raising the bar.
The Big 12 Conference and @asbglassfloor today introduced a state-of-the-art full LED video sports floor that will debut at the 2026 Phillips 66 Big 12 Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournaments this March at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City.
As of 6 PM, my unofficial archives (since ~1986) have today as the largest NWS Tornado Warning total for a July date.

@wx4caster_bk @NWSWichita Awesome and congratulations BDK! The following quote from Andrew Blum in The Weather Machine sums it up better than I could, “The ability to forecast the weather is among humanity’s greatest adaptations to life on earth…” it’s pretty special to be a part of that!
A Direct Hit! The impressive #solarstorm launched in the Earth-strike zone has been modeled by NASA. The storm is predicted to hit Earth by midday December 1. Along with two earlier storms already en route means we have a 1,2,3-punch. If the magnetic field is oriented correctly, expect #aurora to reach deep into mid-latitudes. Amateur #radio & #GPS reception issues are likely, especially on Earth's nightside. G3+ conditions are possible with this storm series.
