For my @BrunswickGOP friends: Cross the bridge to Wilmington Saturday morning to meet our statewide Judicial candidates at the @nhcgop HQ! #ncgop#brunsco#ilm
At least 846 structures were destroyed from last weekend's wildfires in Spokane, Washington. A suspect was arrested earlier this week for allegedly starting the Old Trails Fire.
Some overnight ensembles still picking up on far Atlantic wave. EURO here with a little more support towards the Lesser Antilles around August 12/13th. BUT. As with most El Nino years the conditions become very hostile the farther west you go. And most ensembles fizzle after. Nothing from the NHC on this one yet. Tropics remain asleep. https://t.co/0EQMEw6Iu0
TROPICS UPDATE: Disturbances are moving off Africa on schedule, but they soon run into hostile conditions across the Atlantic. Some of the hostility will wane as we get deeper into hurricane season, but not all. All quiet for now, but there's lots of season to go. More at https://t.co/PicsKl6xn5
TROPICS UPDATE: Hostility abounds across the Atlantic so no tropical development is expected this week. There is a slight chance, however, that the northern part of a large disturbance might make it to Florida late week and into the Gulf. Something to watch. Barely. More at https://t.co/PicsKl6xn5

TROPICS UPDATE: Hostility reigns supreme across the tropical Atlantic, the Caribbean, and the Gulf, so no tropical development is expected well into August. But there are finally some hints in the models of some activity in the eastern Atlantic in a couple of weeks. We'll see. More at https://t.co/PicsKl6xn5
Something I learned this morning: before starting his inaugural address on January 20, 1953, President Dwight D. Eisenhower offered the following prayer:
"Almighty God, as we stand here at this moment my future associates in the Executive branch of Government join me in beseeching that Thou will make full and complete our dedication to the service of the people in this throng, and their fellow citizens everywhere. Give us, we pray, the power to discern clearly right from wrong, and allow all our words and actions to be governed thereby, and by the laws of this land. Especially we pray that our concern shall be for all the people regardless of station, race or calling. May cooperation be permitted and be the mutual aim of those who, under the concepts of our Constitution, hold to differing political faiths; so that all may work for the good of our beloved country and Thy glory. Amen."
07/30 Tropical Update: Same thing different day. Nothing cooking in the tropics. Long-range maps suggesting it could stay that way into middle August for the Atlantic. Ensembles with no real areas to chat about. Enjoy! https://t.co/Hk3pbO7x8H
Huge #drought improvements in the past week. While the #drought is not gone, these are the lowest drought levels the state has seen since January, and if this trend keeps going into the fall, we could be out of drought as things cool down. #cltwx#ncwx#scwx#wcnc
We are coming up on the two-year anniversary of Hurricane #Helene in September. Tonight, a long-awaited documentary about how the community and residents dealt with the devastation debuts. You can stream it for free. By watching the film, you directly support recovery efforts in Western North Carolina, as a portion of the proceeds from each viewing goes back to the community. #ScarsOnTheMountain debuts tonight. You can view it for free at this link. @scarsonthemountain @angel

TROPICS UPDATE: On a positive note, every factor we look at is detrimental to tropical development in the Atlantic, the Caribbean, and the Gulf. On the other hand, the water around Florida and Louisiana are warmer than normal, which is adding to the heat misery. More at https://t.co/PicsKl6xn5
