AT’s Weather has been providing free social media weather content since 2010. In 2014 that content included live severe weather broadcasts. At the time, monetization wasn’t available and the effort was supported by generous gifts from you and my own pocketbook. Around 2019 platforms allowed content creators to earn revenue. Since then, grifters and con artists dominated the landscape taking advantage of clickbait-style engagement farming to skew the algorithms in their favor. That left very little revenue for legitimate, valued, and creative individuals like myself. As a result, while some of AT’s Weather content will remain free, like many other creators struggling in this saturated environment, some will be for subscribers only. This includes my live tornado coverage.
I have outlined the many options in which you can support me below:
Remember that Summer is the "flash flooding and damaging wind season" across the country. While most areas stay dry, the few that do get rain can get too much. Stagnant or slow steering currents and weak wind shear contribute to the outcome.
Case in point, models are hinting at areas receiving over 7" of rain Saturday. So you might find yourself in a flood situation. Watch my lunchtime video replay for additional information, and be safe this weekend! -AT
There is a tornado watch to the north and a severe thunderstorm watch to the southwest. I'll go live this evening to give you an update.
