2020 continues being 2020:

➡️ Now that we have #Delta, only two storms remain (#Epsilon and #Zeta) before we tie with 2005.

➡️ We've broken a whopping 22 naming records this year. Only two storms this season were not the earliest named of their respective letter in history.
Here's another one:

➡️ When #Delta makes landfall, 2020 will beat 1916 as the season with the most landfalls in history.
Correction: It is *three* named storms this season that have not broken earliest naming records! #Arthur, #Bertha, and #Dolly. 22 of these records have been broken.

Fall has arrived! 🍂 To celebrate the #FirstDayOfFall, we've made a list of all the ways you can get outside and enjoy what many praise as the best weather of the year!

THREAD ⬇️ Image
🍎🍏 Apple picking 🍏🍎

We can't think of a better (or tastier!) socially-distanced outing. Put on your flannel, search for your nearest orchard, and get to picking! Send us a pie, please 🥧 Image
🎃 Pumpkin carving 🎃

No front porch is complete without a classic jack-o'-lantern! Bonus points if you carve a TWC logo 😉 Image

#Sally continues its slow & dangerous trek inland. With max sustained winds at 105 mph, it remains a Cat 2 storm, battering the Gulf Coast with hurricane-force winds and heavy rain.

Sally's northern eyewall has made it onshore; landfall is expected w/in the next 1-2 hours or so Image
Several feet of storm surge is likely as winds from #Sally push water onshore. Image
Catastrophic and life-threatening flooding also continues as slow-moving #Sally drops inches of rain across portions of the Gulf Coast states. Several inches of rain, perhaps localized amounts of 20"+, is yet to come. Image

It's #NationalWildlifeDay! 🐻🐸🦊

No matter the forecast, our planet's animals always seem to have it figured out. Here's some examples of wildlife with wild relationships with the weather (say that five times fast)!

THREAD ⬇️
Many animals seem to be able to predict the weather.

One example is frogs, who are said to croak louder when a storm is brewing 🐸 ⛈️ Image
However, our favorite furry forecaster will always be Punxsutawney Phil!

@JimCantore and @JenCarfagno are his biggest fans 😍 Image

One of our meteorologists inputed the current storm surge forecast into Google Earth to see what it will look like in Lake Charles, Louisiana.

H/t to @SDBrownWX, our very own data wizard 🧙‍♂️ (seriously, it's in his email signature).

THREAD ⬇️
9+ feet of surge is expected over a widespread area, including both urban and suburban neighborhoods.
The Civic Center and Millennium Park could expect to see at least 6 feet of storm surge.

This will cover playground equipment at the park, inundate the parking lots, and could make its way into the Civic Center.

We're declaring today #MarsMonday! In anticipation of our LIVE coverage of the historic @NASAPersevere launch Wednesday and Thursday, let's look at some fascinating facts about the Red Planet's weather...

THREAD ⬇️
@NASAPersevere A year on Earth is 365 days, but what about Mars? One year on Mars would be equivalent to 687 Earth days, but 668 "sols" (Mars days)! One sol is about 39 minutes longer than an Earth day. Image
@NASAPersevere Therefore, seasons on Mars are much longer than ours! Would you rather have 65 extra days of winter, or 85 extra days of summer? Image
