      July 2026 PNW Weather

      Throwback to one of my favorite weather weenie events ever- Hurricane Hillary passing directly over my place in South Orange County, CA back in 2023. This is a video I took from my balcony of the eyewall as it devastated the entire area. Barely made it out with my life from this. I imagine Tropical Storm Elida will probably be much worse if it makes it up here. 20230820_191459~2.mp4

      July 2026 PNW Weather

      It's one thing to seek out strange and wild weather events that tickle your own fancy. It's another thing to migrate 1500 miles to hone in on ground zero while you livestream yourself on twitch speeding 10 over in a Rav4 splattered with five decals of your youtube logo, being a clout chasing hypebeast licking your chops at the opportunity to snap your own shot of someone's 110 year old family ranch being consumed by nature, later to be photoshopped for le epic thumbnail with a HDR enhancement filter, plastered with your fakest shocked face and twelve red arrows and circles, bullying locals out of the way and clogging evacuation routes

      July 2026 PNW Weather

      Opposite here, unfathomably *pathetic* convective season on par with 2024 and 2016 locally. ~95% of days have been convectively capped which is insane. Our #1 limiting factor for storms in any summer is mid-level lapse rates, so any kind of ridging renders us vulnerable to an unyielding cap despite high surface based CAPE/instability. Opposite problem compared to the West/PNW, where boundary layer moisture (surface based CAPE/instability) are the limiting factors, while mid-level lapse rates are seldom an issue.

      Tropical Season 2026

      Tropical Depression Two has formed in the Gulf. It's expected to slowly move northwest, and then west as it accelerates. Current NHC forecast shows TD2 as a tropical storm within the next 24-48 hours. It's still very early, and the eventual path isn't set in stone, but if it does manage to come to Southeast Texas we would be looking at impacts on Thursday/Friday: abc13.com/tropical update
