The three guyed masts in Beidweiler which had beamed two megawatts of Radio Télévision Luxembourg's longwave AM service came down on Nov. 6.

Earlier this work, I took to my main IG account to post a 20+ year old pic of Steve Schlitz, frontman for New York’s Longwave, after seeing him on Saturday Night Live filling in for Nick Valensi in Th...

SPC Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1019 AM CST Sun Nov 15 2026 Valid 151700Z - 161200Z ...NO CRITICAL AREAS... Fire weather concerns remain low across the CONUS today; please see the previous discussion for details. ..Elizalde-Garcia.. 11/15/2026 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0106 AM CST Sun Nov 15 2026/ ...Synopsis... Deep, longwave troughing will begin to depart offshore of the East Coast today as separate areas of upper troughing persist over the southern Plains and approach the Pacific Northwest coastline. These features will continue to bring chances for precipitation to much of the Pacific Northwest/West Coast and across portions of the southern Plains and ArkLaTex. Meanwhile, surface high pressure centered over the Midwest will continue to bring cooler and drier conditions to much of the Southeast. Minimum RH values are forecast to range from 20-35% today from the lower Mississippi River Valley eastward into Georgia and parts of South Carolina; however, generally light winds (10 mph or less) and only modestly receptive fuels will suppress overall fire weather concerns. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

SPC Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1257 AM CST Sat Nov 14 2026 Valid 141200Z - 151200Z ...NO CRITICAL AREAS... ...Synopsis... Deep, longwave troughing will persist across much of the eastern U.S. today as negatively tilted upper troughing progresses eastward from the Intermountain West into the central/southern Plains. Combined with another robust upper trough that will approach the Pacific Northwest coastline, this will continue to support chances for precipitation across parts of the Northeast and much of the West, with rain chances also spreading into the southern/central Plains. Meanwhile, surface high pressure over the upper/mid Mississippi Valley will slide farther east/southeast into the lower Ohio Valley, with cooler and drier conditions continuing across much of the Southeast. While minimum RH values in the 25-35% range are forecast across portions of the Southeast atop modestly dry fuels, generally light surface winds (~10 mph or less) will suppress fire weather concerns today. ..Chalmers.. 11/14/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

Deep, longwave upper-level troughing will begin to gradually shift offshore of the East Coast on Day 2/Saturday as negatively tilted upper troughing progresses eastward from the Intermountain West toward the central Rockies/Great Plains and another robust upper trough approaches the Pacific Northwest. These upper-level features will continue to bring chances for precipitation to portions of the Rockies and Pacific Northwest, with rain chances also spreading into the southern Plains. At the surface, high pressure will remain positioned across the upper/mid Mississippi Valley, with cooler and drier conditions continuing across much of the Southeast. While dry conditions/fuels should be maintained across the Southeast and mid/lower Mississippi Valley, generally light surface winds are expected to limit the overall fire weather threat at this time. ..Chalmers.. 11/13/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

SPC Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0126 AM CST Fri Nov 13 2026 Valid 131200Z - 141200Z ...NO CRITICAL AREAS... ...Synopsis... Deep, longwave troughing will remain positioned over the eastern U.S. today as negatively tilted upper-level troughing moves onshore across the West, bringing rain and snow to most of the West Coast and Intermountain West. Cooler, drier air will filter farther south across the eastern U.S. amid the continued upper troughing as a surface low departs the Northeast and high pressure builds slowly southeastward into the Midwest. ...Southeast... Dry and breezy, post-frontal conditions will continue across much of the Southeast today. While minimum RH values are forecast in the 25-40% range (locally down to 20% across portions of the ArkLaTex and lower Mississippi Valley), winds are forecast to remain lighter than yesterday at 10-15 mph with a few gusts to around 20 mph possible. Thus, while locally elevated fire weather conditions are likely, weaker winds and a lack of overlap between elevated winds/RH and receptive fuels precludes the addition of Elevated highlights. ..Chalmers.. 11/13/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...
