Completely unplanned, but apparently we matched the heat index map this afternoon. 🥵🌡️

Consider today a preview of this weekend’s heat.

Tropical Storm #Arthur has become the first named storm of the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season.

This is not a concern for the Florida Peninsula.

Arthur will move inland across Texas & Louisiana over the next day and weaken, while significant flooding remains the biggest concern.

Knew something was up when my inbox is jammed on an otherwise quiet Monday afternoon.

Rare magnitude 6.1 #earthquake struck off the coast of Cuba. Felt across the west coast of Florida (me not included). Earthquakes above magnitude 5 are rare for the Gulf.

🌀 2026 Storm Naming List 🌀

These lists repeat every six years unless a storm is significant enough to have its name retired. The new addition this year is Leah, replacing Laura, which was retired following the historic 2020 hurricane season.

The skies over parts of Tampa Bay came alive last night. ⚡️🌴

Storm chances will return each afternoon and evening this weekend.

Tornado Watch in effect until 6:00 PM from Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Polk counties north. Thunderstorms in advance of a cold front have the potential to produce a tornado or two, but the main threat will be damaging wind gusts. The line will weaken some as it moves south. Stay weather aware this afternoon. #Skytower

Dramatic skies over Terra Ceia, Florida earlier today as a line of storms moved through the Tampa Bay area.

The cold front brought much-needed rain, but tomorrow morning temperatures will drop into the 40s.

Clear water & the gentle giants of Crystal River, FL.

Cold air returns next week, and that could mean even more manatees packing into these warm springs.

Personally, this remains one of the best wildlife viewing spots I’ve hiked in the state.
