Most of next week is humid with torrential downpours at times… a daily occurrence that coincides with a strong El Niño developing and one that matches historical flooding events in the past.

Here’s the latest Blog Update:

I do my best to keep my weather forecasts free and they will remain that way on my social media in a generalized nature.

But forecasts are only as good as the data that's used to make them, which costs lots of money each month.

At other TV stations and forecast outlets, it's no big deal, since the company picks up the tab.

But I forecast independently. I prefer to go my own way in forecasting and work for myself. This means I pay all of the radar, weather alerts, and model data bills out of my own pocket.

Patreon is simply a way to help offset my costs by giving you more detailed information that I don't post publicly. The basic tier is only $1/month - that's as cheap as the platform will let me price it.

You'll get model updates and high res maps...basically a "behind the scenes" of my forecast process.

I truly appreciate the follows on social media and the support online! Stay weather-aware!
