Every September we mark Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. This year it’s more personal for me.
More than 330,000 American men this year will hear the words we did last spring when I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. By the time we found it, it had already spread to my bones.
When prostate cancer is caught early, the five-year survival is close to 100%.
So have the conversation with your doctor. Don’t put it off.
If you're at average risk, that conversation should start around 50, and the guidelines now say screening every 2 to 4 years. If you're a Black man, start it at 45 or earlier. You are nearly 70% more likely to get this disease and 2 to 4 times more likely to die from it. Which is an outrage in the richest country in the world.
If your father or your brother had prostate cancer, start the conversation at 45, and even earlier if more than one of them did.
I am deeply grateful to the doctors, nurses and other medical professionals who helped to control my cancer and who continue to take such good care of me. Their skill, dedication, and compassion mean so much. The radiation treatment from last fall worked as intended, and I continue to do the things I care about, like finishing my memoir.
Thank you to everyone who has reached out and continues to keep me and my family in your prayers. We appreciate every single one of you.
It’s my hope and prayer that by sharing our experience and being part of this important conversation, we can help save lives. Talk to your doctors. Ask the hard questions. Do it for yourself, and do it for the people who love you.
And no matter what, keep the faith. God bless you.
LOWELL IMPACTS 🌀: FOX Weather Storm Specialist Mike Seidel was about to go live on air when a powerful wave swept through, nearly knocking him and the camera operator to the ground. Mike will be live from Kaua'i, Hawaii throughout the day covering the impacts of powerful Hurricane Lowell. Stick with FOX Weather for all the latest.
Hurricane #Lowell is approaching the Hawaiian Islands today with a wind field large enough to impact #Kauai, #Niihau, and #Oahu. A Hurricane Warning now extends to Kauai, and a Tropical Storm Warning to O'ahu. The worst conditions will occur later this evening and overnight tonight. Storm surge and flash flooding hazards are also expected, especially closer to the storm track. Hope everyone has a plan to stay safe today.

Dolly Parton charts three songs in the top 10 on the UK singles chart this week, with “9 to 5” becoming her highest-peaking song ever:
#5: 9 to 5

The Air Force Reserve #HurricaneHunters are currently investigating #Lowell and have found that the maximum winds have increased to around 150 mph (240 km/h), making Lowell a CATEGORY 4 on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Visit https://t.co/NyUGSIFCuo for the latest info.
We don't often see severe weather threats after sunset...but we have the right conditions in place for it tonight.
SPC at an 80% chance at a severe thunderstorm watch going up for our region soon. Dew points well into the 70s. Lots of moisture and plenty of fuel downstream for these storms to tap into.
Latest HRRR quite active around the midnight hour here in DC.

Fires are smoldering in Indonesia, which is in a severe and widespread drought. Some of these are tropical peatland fires, which burn slowly, release higher amounts of air pollution, and are notoriously difficult to extinguish.

Western tropical Atlantic/Caribbean (10-20°N, 85-50°W) vertical wind shear continues to shatter previous records, with average shear in the western Atlantic for the past 30 days >3 kt stronger than any other year in the global satellite era (since 1979). #ElNino
🌡️ El Niño is firmly established and will intensify into a very strong event in the coming months. WMO forecasts show ~100% likelihood that it will persist through February 2027.
A very strong El Niño ≠ same impacts everywhere.
