A lot of heat with a side order of thunderstorms. I’ll have your complete forecast on KOB Channel 4 tonight at 5, 6, 6:30 and 10PM!

Hurricane Irene

At least 2 deaths from Hurricane Irene. The only thing more preventable than a hurricane death is a shark attack death. If you don't want to get killed by a shark, don't go where sharks are. If you don't want to die in a hurricane, LEAVE THE AREA before the storm hits.

Saturday!

Good morning New Mexico!  I'll have your forecast coming up this beautiful Saturday morning on KOB Eyewitness News 4!  Have a great weekend!

Wow...

Drought in ABQ: It's awfully tough to more than DOUBLE your yearly rainfall in only 3 weeks, and yet still have only 1/4 of the rain we should for the whole year! Zoinks Scoob! :)

Stormy Monday

Heat, thunderstorms and more flooding concerns in New Mexico. I'll have all the details for you at 5, 6, 6:30 & 10PM on KOB Channel 4!

Monday forecast

It's a mild, humid morning in New Mexico. It should be quieter today than Sunday, but the thunderstorms will become more numerous later this week. I'll let you know what days are most likely tonight at 5, 6, 6:30 and 10PM on KOB Eyewitness News 4!

GIMME FIVE!!!!!

When I see Mother Nature, I’m going to say, “Hey Mama, GIMME FIVE!”…since ABQ is now five inches below average for rain this year.  I don’t want that five all at once, though…no flooding, thank you…

Friday Morning

It's a beautiful, tranquil Friday morning in New Mexico.  Now let's hear it for some rainy, stormy weather this weekend!  I gotta talk to Mother Nature about that...

Send in the storms!

Numerous t'storms and several flood danger areas already today.  Be sure to watch KOB tonight at 5, 6, 6:30 and 10PM...I'll have your important weekend forecast!

Enough is enough...

Mother Nature, traces of rain just ain't gonna go it.  I know I've sweated more than the 0.70" of rain we've had this year.  Time to bring some rain!

Rumblin' again...

We have a lot of thunderstorms rumbling around NM today!  I'll tell you which days will be the most likely for more rain and t'storms where YOU live tonight on KOB!

Things are looking up...

More heat than rain right now, but our chances for that rare wet weather will improve.  I'll have your forecast tonight on KOB Channel 4...have a great day!

Melting Lead in Hobbs

I know it's hot, but the 716 degree temperature reported in Hobbs is PROBABLY wrong.  I'll show you the REAL hot, stormy weather at 5, 6, 6:30 and 10PM on KOB!

An A/C blast from the past...

Since we all need cool air this time of year, here some good (and not so good) A/C ideas from the past:  http://www.popsci.com/node/55786/?cmpid=enews080411  Stay cool in the heat today, everybody!  :)

The Heat Is On

Record-breaking Monday:  93 Santa Fe, 98 Albuquerque, 106 Carlsbad, 107 Roswell.  I'll tell you how much more heat is coming on KOB at 10PM!

Two great tastes that taste great together

It's always a good day when a morning of golf can be combined with an afternoon of weather forecasting.  The new clubs get their first test...giddyup!  :)

Catception

Two cats zonked out on the carpet...one in the sun, one in the shade. All I need now is a metal suitcase with some tubes and wires to make it look like a feline version of "Inception". One cat is trying to plant the idea of leaving the house in the other cat's mind. :) No, I'm not renaming my cats Leonardo DiCatrio and Joseph Gordon-Levcatt. They're Simba and Stormy.

I'm happy for Roswell!

Thunderstorms are rumbling in southern & eastern NM, and we can celebrate in Roswell...the high was ONLY 98 degrees!  See my KOB PinPoint Forecast at 6, 6:30 and 10PM!

Saturday morning...

Oh, well...good mornin', New Mexico! It's about time for me to make me some of that there weather 'n' whatnot! Have a great day! :)

The heat continues...

Carlsbad has hit 100+ for the 54th time this year...43rd time for Roswell. How many more 100s are coming next week? Watch KOB tonight!

Travel ND?!?

One of the "Who to follow" Twitter is suggesting to me is TravelND... North Dakota Travel. I grew up in Montana. Trust me...NO ONE travels to North Dakota.  Maybe THROUGH North Dakota, but not TO North Dakota.

Growling and Rumbling

Either I didn't eat enough for breakfast and my stomach is growling, or the thunder is rumbling over Albuquerque! Woo hoo!!!

Super Size Jason

It's time for an extra helping of weather! At noon, 5, 6, 6:30 and 10PM on KOB Channel 4, I'll let you know how the weather will be through the end of next week! Have a great weekend everybody! :)

Hotter or cooler?

Which direction will the temperatures be going this weekend and next week?  I'll show you in my PinPoint Forecast on KOB tonight at 10PM!

Scary Stocks

If the Dow Jones falls 513 points WITH a debt ceiling deal completed, I'd hate to see how many 1000s it would've fallen WITHOUT a deal. Wow.

My Kingdom For An Inch!

Albuquerque only has 0.70" of rain for 2011...driest on record. I hope we get to 1.00" by the weekend. I'll have your forecast on KOB at 5, 6, 6:30 and 10PM!

It was a dark and stormy night...

It's getting late, but the stormy weather isn't calling it a night, yet.  I'll have your forecast on KOB Channel 4 tonight at 10PM...I hope you'll be watching!  :)

Something Stormy This Way Comes

Thunderstorms are rumbling around the ABQ metro and in MANY other places. I'll have the forecast for you @ 5, 6, 6:30 and 10PM on KOB!

Thermometer Strike

Carlsbad's thermometer is still on strike.  Today will be day 52 of 100+ degrees in 2011.  It refuses to go back to work until a new "heat ceiling" law is passed.  It also feels the digital thermometers are not doing their part in this changing climate.  You can watch my forecast at 5, 6, 6:30 and 10PM on KOB!  :)

Showers and T'storms Return

It’s a warm, humid morning, and more thunderstorms will be popping this afternoon and evening…too much heat in the southeast, too! I’ll have my complete forecast at 5, 6, 6:30 and 10PM on KOB Channel 4! Have a great day!

The Heat Is On!

Roswell has now hit 100+ for the 40th time in 2011...Carlsbad has done it 51 times!  I'll be forecasting the rain and heat for you at 5, 6, 6:30 and 10PM on KOB Channel 4!

Sweet ride for a sweet drive

What do these cool golf carts have in common?  They're all more expensive than my car!  :)  http://www.pennwick.com/custom-built-luxury-golf-carts.html

How rare...

I do not remember the last time I looked out to the WEST in the morning and saw a rainbow...THAT is pretty cool!  Now if those showers can hold together long enough to rain on our house...

It's a start...

A small storm is approaching Albuquerque from the south right now.  Not really that impressive, but it's better than nothing!

I'll take your order...

Good morning everyone...my name is Jason, and I'll be your meteorologist for the day at 7AM as well as 6, 6:30 and 10PM.  Our special is scattered thunderstorms with a side order of humid heat, prepared to taste...enjoy!

Rumblin' Bumblin' Stumblin'

Thunderstorms are rumbling all over the place, New Mexico!  I'll let you know what the next seven days will be like at 5, 6, 6:30 and 10PM on KOB!

It should be our turn...

If we're going to have THIS many clouds, I believe we deserve a nice, steady, day-long rain from them...no?  Calling Mother Nature now...hang on...

Send in the storms...

Thunderstorms are beginning to take shape over New Mexico, and they're getting STRONGER.  Be sure to watch my forecast at 5, 6, 6:30 and 10PM on KOB Channel 4!

Roasting Roswell

Roswell should hit 100+ for the 38th time this afternoon...that's an all-time record for one year!  It'll also be the 65th straight day of 90+...8 from a record.  Whew!  ABQ has hit 100+ twice...nowhere near what Roswell has dealt with...

Flooding concerns return...

Flash Flood Warning for the area around Los Alamos until 6PM.  Thunderstorms are popping in other areas too...I'll give you all the details at 5, 6, 6:30 and 10PM on KOB!

Here we go Mariners...here we go!

Good job Mariners!  Way to stop that losing streak!  Woo hoo!  That's 1 in a row!  Well, 1 in a spot...on a dot...something.  That's one! :)

Seattle Mariners

My Mariners have gone from 43-43 to 43-60. I thought that was bad. Then I saw the call that ended the 19-inning Pirates/Braves game. Wow.

Repite, por favor...

I loved hearing that rain late last night...I wouldn't mind a few more afternoons and evenings of that!  Power outages...not so much, rain...very much!

A new kind of flood...

Yahoo, Comcast, Facebook, Twitter, Windows Live, Tumblr, Blogger, Google+.  I hope there is Swift Water Rescue from a social media flash flood, too!

Finally...a thunderstorm!

I'm pretty sure I'm going to get my wish of 0.52" of rain...and then some! ABQ NE Heights getting pounded by a big thunderstorm!  We have two cats...the first cat hid under the bed upon hearing the first clap of thunder. My second cat (named Stormy) is sitting next to me like nothing is amiss... :)

Let's do a switcharoo...

Okay, instead of 52 mph wind and a trace of rain like we had yesterday, I would like 0.52" of rain and only a trace of wind today...I'm not greedy.

My Saturday Wish

Nothing would make me happier than a slow, steady, day-long drenching of rain.  I'll see what I can do...

Irish Weather in New Mexico

It seemed appropriate that we'd get rain during a Celtic music concert at Zoo Music tonight. It felt great! We had a double rainbow too...that's probably required. I couldn't get those Lucky Charms, though. Have a great weekend!

Time for more rain in ABQ...

It was so nice to finally get rain!  We're now at a WHOPPING 0.33" for the year.  What day/month/year/decade/century do YOU think the ABQ Sunport will reach a total of 1.00" of rain?

Finally some rain in ABQ!

It took a long time, but we finally received some rain in Albuquerque.  0.46" at the KOB studios so far, only 0.07" at the ABQ Sunport.  Onward and upward!

Weather Today

The chances for some wet and stormy weather are improving. Nothing to write home about yet, but they're going the right direction! Actually, since it's 2011, maybe I should say: "Nothing to text (tweet) home (nest) about yet..."

Rain in Albuquerque?!?

Amazingly enough, Albuquerque received 0.03" of rain Monday afternoon...bringing the yearly total to a whopping 0.22".  My ark is nearly finished...

Albuquerque this weekend

It looks like a hot weekend for Albuquerque with little to no chance for rain...highs in the 90s and lows near 70.
