Over 100 million people are at risk of severe weather this afternoon as a slight risk (level 2/5) has been issued for the Southern Appalachians to New England.
Gusty storms are likely this afternoon in highly populated areas. Isolated tornadoes are also possible along the Canadian border and from the southern Great Lakes to the Mid-Atlantic.
There is also a marginal risk into the Southern High plains where isolated instances of severe hail and damaging winds are possible.
For months, Penne (#BF4892) quietly lingered in her rescuer’s yard, never demanding attention but always seeming to hope for something more than life outdoors. 🐾 Her rescuer suspected this timid five-year-old tabby had once belonged to someone, making her uncertain journey all the more heartbreaking. When Penne arrived at Bianca’s Furry Friends, she was relieved to finally be safe, though all the changes left her feeling a bit vulnerable. These days, she prefers the comfort of a cozy hooded bed where she can observe the world at her own pace. But offer her a few gentle head rubs, and she’ll happily welcome you as though you’ve been friends forever. Penne is ready to leave her worries behind and trade them for the comfort of a loving home. All she needs is someone willing to show her that she’ll never have to wonder where she belongs again. #GetYourRescueOn #BiancasFurryFriends

Brian May didn't just donate money to animal welfare. He personally purchased British farmland and forests with his own money ~ and converted them into permanent wildlife sanctuaries. He resigned from the RSPCA for not doing enough. He refuses to play Glastonbury over badgers. The Save Me Trust is not a side project. It is Brian May's second career.
Most rock stars put their name on a charity.
Brian May buys farmland for his.
The Save Me Trust was founded in 2009 by Brian May and conservationist Anne Brummer — originally to campaign against the possible repeal of the Hunting Act in the UK.
It has never stopped growing since.
Today Save Me Trust campaigns against fox hunting, the badger cull, factory farming, live export, trophy hunting, driven grouse shooting, the use of snares, and the captivity of orcas and other cetaceans.
But what most people don't know — is what Brian May has funded personally.
The Save Me Trust manages private land ~ purchased and protected specifically for this purpose by Brian May himself. Land that was previously wilderness-deprived commercial forest or farmland. Enhanced. Restored. Converted into wildflower meadows. Protected permanently.
The Trust operates alongside Harper Asprey Wildlife Rescue ~ which rehabilitates injured British wildlife and releases them back into the wild through secure soft-release sites that Brian May's funding helps maintain.
In 2023 ~ Proud Galleries presented a £5,000 cheque to Save Me Trust ~ generated from ticket sales and book signings at Brian May's Stereoscopy Is Good For You exhibition in London. Every event Brian May does ~ feeds back into the animals.
He resigned from the RSPCA as Vice President in 2024 ~ publicly ~ because he felt even they weren't doing enough.
He refuses to perform at Glastonbury because its co-founder supports badger culling.
He has addressed Parliament directly. Led protests through London. Fronted BBC documentaries. Funded research. Bought countryside.
A man who once played to 250,000 people in Brazil —
Spends significant portions of his personal fortune buying British farmland.
To give Hedgehogs somewhere safe to sleep.
Thank you for caring for the animals @DrBrianMay 🙏.
He has arrived safely. ❤️
Just a baby, under a year old, with a badly broken body.
The pressure sores on his body tell a heartbreaking story. He had been lying in the same spot for days, under temperatures exceeding 50°C, unable to move.
No one knows where he came from.
No one knows who his owner is.
He is now receiving urgent care, and we will share a full update very soon.
We are still £70 short of his transport bill and urgently need help with his treatment too.
Please help us give this baby a second chance.

. @NYCACC killed 2y/o Canela today, day 17. A stray, she showed off her wiggles on intake, was happy & friendly to all. She loved people, but not the dogs there. They didn’t make a video or seemingly pay much attention to cute Canela @nycHealthy
Still tracking Thursday. SPC kept the 15% severe risk in place, and the area has nudged east a bit, now centered over Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Virginia.
The storms ahead of this don't look strong enough to spin off many tornadoes. The real question is damaging wind as a line of storms pushes through the mountains and into the Mid-Atlantic. One thing to watch: morning clouds and rain could rob the afternoon of its fuel up north, which would shrink the threat. Still firming up.
