The NAM never dies
Turns out, more than a few people missed the NAM following its discontinuation. @recast and @DeepGuessr replicated its configuration, ported it to GPU, and are disseminating its data for free in real time - and it is now live on PolarWx: polarwx.com/models/?model=wo…

I know I’m a political guy through and through and I keep my personal opinions to myself (about the most anyone’s knows from me is that I stay more independent and/or centrist and I hate Trump) but these results tonight got my ass smiling ngl.

I know people have said this so many times to everyone recently but I beg, if you have the ability to vote today then go vote, I’m not trying to be political often but if you really believe that your person you want to see win will help this country, state, county or town no matter where you are then go vote. Don’t be the on who complains about who did who when they didn’t at least vote to have a true say about the matter. It’s where it really matters!!! #vote #Midterms2026 (If you don’t I will tell Harp to have all tornado events be all linear)

Updates going into the future for me and chasing plans etc. So I was born was a crooked Jaw it’s been around with me forever and it’s never been an issue but lately it’s gotten more annoying. While I could play off another year the more I wait the worse it’ll be in the future as I get older to handle it then as well as the fact it’s gotten slowly worse in pain over the years it’s nothing crazy just when I chew to much or mouth to open but it’ll be worse down the line. The options on the table essentially are jaw realignment a surgery that will require me to be wired shut for multiple weeks and I need to be with family to help me navigate it all and help me out. Slight issue is that my family planned a huge Key West trip this mid July meaning if this surgery requires time to heal I need to be getting it done as soon as finals finishes essentially ending my storm chase season then and there. Options will be explored and the place we have doesn’t charge a fee if we cancel so I will explore the option of possibly doing it if I feel as if leading up to it the weather won’t be too active but if active which I have a strong feeling it will I will push back to next year and next year will be do it no matter what. Essentially I’m gambling what year will be better to chase lol. I want to state this surgery is not like omg it’s serious I need to do it immediately it’s sort of the eh it’s not serious but next year or 2 it needs taken care of. As for the chase season itself I have all the plans and money to be saved up to get routine maintained done on the Hyundai to get ready to chase this spring and summer (maybe) I recently took home a nice new Camry, this will not be a chase vehicle in fact it’s brand new asf 2026 so my rule with it and family is no chasing with it, but with its incredible gas mileage it’ll give me a wide array of options to be able to travel the US to meet up with friends to chase with them in their vehicles and capture incredible footage when the time is right. As for gear upgrades I have no current plans this season as I have very good confidence in the current state of the setup but a new nice camera is set for 2028 the money is being saved up as we speak. More videos will be on the way I want to expand my own channel as well as help out with any groups I join, might have a new group in the woodworks soon so stay tuned. As for anything else with the channel. Well not much I do plan on streaming again soon which will be fun. Not really weather related in fact I think I’ll likely not clutter the channels content and move it to the unlisted portion likely gonna be weather related streamed games or just others but I game a lot and being around with Alferias streams gave me the confidence to get back into it again. I’ll try to be more proactive and active in general on X, I’m on here a lot checking in but I never chat much cause I’m very anti social media. I use it for updates on sports and weather and news but I really stop there. Tweeting is still just so off to me I’ll try to stay more active on it updates like these help people know more about me and my personal life and I like sharing it as odd as it sounds. Well the parts I want to share at least. Next semester I’m going more online so my chances of chasing will increase a lot just like how 2024 season was when I was the most active in such an incredible year. Looking forward to what’s next. - Jacob Erhard P.S If you read this whole thing you have a problem (rocks go click)

With how Super El Nino has gone I would not be shocked if we get more named storms well in mid-November and a chance at early December, the possibility is there and I really do think we will enter into the supplemental list by mid-November.
Hurricane season in the East Pacific has been insane, I don't think people talk about it enough. But with Invest 93E just south of Hurricane Simon set to because a tropical storm in the coming days, we will be down to the name Trudy, which means we will only have 5 names left before we have the insane chance that the East Pacific goes into the supplemental list. which starts off with the name Aiden and has some of the most incredible names like Flor, I want Hurricane Flor for no reason besides the fact that the name is funny.

My worst workout I hate doing is cardio, not because I hate, I do hike consistently I did a lot in scouts. But because I just never got into the prospect of running or doing marathons so I’m going to do what any man does and train myself to eventually do an ultramarathon within the next 3 years. Why, uh idk.

People who are not weather nerds like me keep asking me about how crazy is this Super El Niño, I would like you to please go look at the pacific right now and that is all.

That was a rough game and a tough loss I worried the team would get tired in the end like most close game CyHawks we lose. I still think we are the better team we just need to be more cohesive and not get so gassed, hopefully the injuries didn’t hurt us for the season cause 8-9 wins is a very real chance with this squad I promise you.

I fr think people like Max forget how large their following is or are completely delusional in thinking they aren’t some form of a cause to this fatigue. Because fr I know people outside of the weather space who just get sick and tired of the same washed up thumbnails. There thumbnails and overused over the top editing styles is for clicks and once it gets repetitive people just don’t care anymore. If people like Max and Ryan and many many more actually wanted to give genuine real down to earth weather updates and news without having to bore us, annoy us or get others fatigued they would start to act more professional then just at the end of the day being a normal everyday YouTuber looking for clicks. I do think Ryan and Max do want to help people and others but the methods they do are getting old, repetitive and annoying.
I would love to know how this doesn't help cause the fatigue you seem to be so worried about

I don't usually talk sports here nor my teams so many don't know I am a 76ers fan. (Yes, I am a Pittsburgh fan while also being a 76ers fan I got into Basketball from my mom, my dad doesn't like basketball) but with that out of the way 76ERS WE ARE SO BACKKKKKKK.
BREAKING: LeBron James is signing with the Philadelphia 76ers on a two-year, $8 million deal with a player option, Klutch Sports Group and Klutch CEO and Game Over show host Rich Paul tells ESPN.

I wanna add that those who may just assume to just focus on other underrated tornadoes or other disasters and do this and do that unfortunately for the documentary space unless it’s the list of 15-25 tornadoes that everyone knows those kind of videos don’t get crazy views and when you have every channel do the same tornado coverage plus the billion AI Slop channels it can start to get really painfully annoying. I’m sure if Alferia and other YouTubers in the documentary space were willing to cover those events it would be great but viewership would be down because now your covering a topic for a smaller audience and you can be opinionated all you want but this is a legit main source if income for some here and they need to see videos perform. The real future is storm chasing documentaries and it’s only a matter of time before that’s flooded with the same people talking about the same damn tornado like how people endlessly talk about their perspective of rolling fork, it works well now and its fun but in the future it won’t be when it’s oversaturated and then it’s on to the next new stimuli and so on.
This has been an clear issue within the weather documentary space and it sucks. Especially those who need such success as a means of income. Alferia situation will not be the last and I urge you to support him as he’s one of the more genuine creators in this space.

An update video regarding the direction of what content I do will be made at some point in the coming weeks. (A thread that is a copy-paste of what I posted on YouTube just a short while ago)
