Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #severeweather, aggregated by home.social.

  1. NWS Wakefield boffins expect another typical early fall (Sep, Oct, Nov) fall day. A meteorological stoppage is holding Canadian cold air to our north. This ridge is likely to move on early next week per Ryan Hall.

    Anyway, our weather hazard map is clear except for beach hazards and small craft cautions.

    Outside the area, thunderstorms and heavy rainfall are expected from the Texas panhandle to the Ohio River Valley. The heat remains on in the heart of Texas.

    Chicago, Minneapolis and the Northeast are already out of the 90s.

    Kansas City drops out Friday. Wichita, Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Cincinnati and Indianapolis Saturday.

    Memphis, Nashville, Atlanta and Dallas are still 90 or hotter on Sunday.

    From County of Maui on FB: Tropical storm conditions are now spreading across Maui County as Hurricane Lala approaches, and a Tropical Storm Warning remains in effect for Maui, Lanai, Molokai and Kahoolawe.

    Heavy rainfall is expected to slam the valley isle, with 8 to 12 inches forecast for East Maui and 4 to 6 inches expected in West Maui. Officials warn that this intense downpour could trigger life-threatening flooding and mudslides, particularly in areas of steep terrain. Stay safe and avoid unnecessary travel.

  12. 🌡️ Severe Weather Awareness Week — Day 5: Extreme Heat

    Don't underestimate heat. Excessive heat is Wisconsin's single deadliest weather factor since 1982, responsible for 144 deaths — more than tornadoes, flooding, or blizzards. 

     In Minnesota, only tornadoes and flooding have killed more people than heat since 1990.

  13. Good thing I have NO PLANS to go to the beach any time soon... Ugh! 🤢

    Taking a dip #LaborDay weekend? Swimmers face fecal contamination at beaches along US coastline

    By PATRICK WHITTLE and MINGSON LAU
    Updated 10:15 AM EDT, August 30, 2025

    OGUNQUIT, Maine (AP) — "Thousands of Americans will head to beaches for one last summer splash this Labor Day weekend, but taking a dip might be out of the question: Many of the beaches will caution against swimming because of unsafe levels of fecal contamination.

    "Beaches from #CrystalRiverFL, to #OgunquitME, have been under advisories warning about water quality this week because of elevated levels of bacteria associated with fecal waste. The advisories typically discourage beachgoers from going in the water because the bacteria can cause gastrointestinal illness, rashes and nausea.

    "There have been closures this week at some of the country’s most popular beach destinations, including Keyes Memorial Beach in the #CapeCod village of Hyannis in Barnstable, Massachusetts; Benjamin’s Beach on #LongIsland in Bay Shore, New York; and a portion of the Imperial Beach shoreline near #SanDiego. Even on the pristine, white sand beaches of Hawaii, the Hawaii State Department of Health is warning of a high bacteria count at #KahaluuBeachPark on the #BigIsland.

    "It’s a longstanding and widespread problem. Nearly two-thirds of beaches tested nationwide in 2024 experienced at least one day in which indicators of fecal contamination reached potentially unsafe levels, conservation group Environment America said in a report issued this summer.
    "The group reviewed beaches on the coasts and #GreatLakes and found that 84% of #GulfCoast beaches exceeded the standard at least once. The number was 79% for #WestCoast beaches, 54% for #EastCoast beaches and 71% for #GreatLakes beaches.

    "The report also said more than 450 beaches were potentially unsafe for swimming on at least 25 percent of the days tested. A key reason is outdated water and #SewerSystems that allows contamination from #sewage to reach the places where people swim, said John Rumpler, clean water director and senior attorney with #EnvironmentAmerica.

    " 'These beaches are a treasure for families across New England and across the country. They are a shared resource,' said Rumpler, who is based in Boston. 'We need to make the investment to make sure that literally our own #HumanWaste doesn’t wind up in the places where we are swimming.'

    "Other factors have also played a role in contaminating beaches, including increasingly #SevereWeather that overwhelms sewage systems, and suburban sprawl that paves over natural areas and reduces the #ecosystem’s ability to absorb #stormwater, Rumpler said."
