The primary focus of today's briefing is the significant and ongoing impact of a substantial fall storm across the Northeast, resulting in localized roadway and coastal flooding. As we navigate through the details of this weather event, it becomes evident that gradual improvement is anticipated later in the day. Furthermore, we must acknowledge the impending arrival of the first in a series of Pacific atmospheric rivers that is expected to affect Washington and Oregon, bringing with it rising rivers and hazardous surf conditions. Additional warnings are in effect for various coastal regions, including gale warnings and high surf advisories, as Hurricane Melissa remains situated offshore while indirectly contributing to dangerous conditions along the U.S. East Coast. It is imperative that we remain vigilant and heed advisories throughout this tumultuous weather period.On this day, the weather across the United States exhibits a multitude of phenomena, particularly a severe fall storm that is notably impacting the Northeast region. The storm has engendered localized roadway flooding and minor coastal flooding, although it is anticipated that conditions will gradually improve throughout the day. In the western territories, a significant atmospheric river is set to arrive, impacting Washington and Oregon, bringing with it rising river levels, substantial snowfall in higher elevations, and hazardous surf conditions that could endanger coastal and marine activities. Furthermore, Hurricane Melissa, while currently positioned offshore, is generating long-period swells that will reach parts of the East Coast, creating hazardous surf and rip currents that could pose threats to public safety.As we assess the specific regional forecasts, it is evident that Southern California beaches face considerable dangers due to hazardous surf and strong rip currents, as indicated by advisories from the Los Angeles Oxnard Forecast Office. The National Weather Service (NWS) Gray has also issued gale and storm warnings for the coastal waters of Maine and New Hampshire, where strong winds and rough seas are anticipated. Massachusetts continues to experience marine hazards, while New Jersey is under a coastal flood advisory, highlighting the potential for minor inundation around high tide. The New York City Metro area and the Lower Hudson Valley are similarly under wind advisories, indicating the likelihood of gusts that could cause damage and complicate travel. In Oregon, a dual concern arises with hazardous marine conditions and a strengthening atmospheric river, prompting advisories regarding high surf and potential sneaker waves. Washington is also preparing for heavy rainfall and rising stream flows as the atmospheric river makes its approach.In conclusion, while significant weather events shape the forecasts for various regions, it is noteworthy that other states report no substantial updates. The potential for severe thunderstorms is deemed low across the nation, and the SPC's Day 1 outlook indicates no organized risk areas. As we finalize this weather briefing, we emphasize the importance of safety and vigilance among our listeners, especially those in areas under advisories. Staying informed through local forecasts is essential to ensure preparedness in the face of these weather challenges.Takeaways:* The podcast discusses the ongoing soaking fall storm affecting the Northeast, which may cause localized flooding.* In the western United States, a series of Pacific atmospheric rivers is expected to arrive imminently, impacting Washington and Oregon.* Warnings have been issued for dangerous surf conditions along the U.S. East Coast due to long period swells from Hurricane Melissa.* Coastal regions in Southern California are advised to be cautious of hazardous surf and strong rip currents this weekend.* Gale warnings and storm advisories are in effect on various coastal waters as the low-pressure system moves northward.* There are currently no significant severe thunderstorm risks reported nationwide, indicating a relatively calm weather pattern elsewhere.Sources[NWS | https://www.weather.gov/phi/marine][NWS | https://www.weather.gov/sew/][NWS | https://www.weather.gov/pqr/][NHC | https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh/MIATCPAT5+shtml/][SPC | https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=JKL&issuedby=DY1&product=SWO&format=TXT&version=1][USGS | https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/][NWS Los Angeles/Oxnard | https://www.weather.gov/lox/][NWS Gray/Portland | https://www.weather.gov/gyx/][NWS Boston/Norton | https://www.weather.gov/box/][NWS Mount Holly | https://www.weather.gov/phi/dss_port][NWS Mount Holly | https://www.weather.gov/phi/marine][NWS New York/Upton | https://www.weather.gov/okx/][NWS Medford | https://www.weather.gov/mfr/][NWS Portland | https://www.weather.gov/pqr/][NWS Seattle | https://www.weather.gov/sew/][NWS (national) | https://www.weather.gov/phi/marine] This is a public episode.

The salient point of this podcast episode revolves around the significant impact of Hurricane Melissa, which has made landfall in eastern Cuba as a Category 3 storm and is progressing northeastward towards the Bahamas. We meticulously delineate the potential hazards arising from this weather event, notably the elevated risk of rip currents and rough surf along the southeastern coast of the United States, particularly Florida. Additionally, the episode elaborates on various weather alerts, including a marginal flash flood risk across the Southern and Central Appalachians, as well as a potential severe weather risk in eastern North Carolina and Southeast Virginia. We also address the imminent arrival of a moderate atmospheric river in the Pacific Northwest, which is expected to bring substantial rainfall. Furthermore, we discuss FEMA's recent allocation of over $1 billion in federal funding to enhance safety measures in the host cities for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup.Hurricane Melissa has emerged as a formidable force, having made landfall in eastern Cuba as a Category 3 hurricane, with its trajectory now directing it towards the Bahamas. Although the United States currently has no active watches, the ramifications of Hurricane Melissa are being felt along the southeastern coast, particularly in Florida, where the risk of rip currents and rough surf is markedly elevated. The National Weather Service has issued warnings to coastal residents and beachgoers to exercise caution due to these dangerous conditions, emphasizing the importance of heeding safety advisories during such severe weather events.In addition to the impact of Hurricane Melissa, the Weather Prediction Center has highlighted a marginal flash flood risk across the Southern and Central Appalachians, extending into the Ohio and Tennessee valleys. This is attributed to the influx of rain that is expected to saturate these regions today. Concurrently, the Storm Prediction Center has indicated a marginal severe weather risk for eastern North Carolina and Southeast Virginia, suggesting the potential for isolated severe thunderstorms later in the evening. The confluence of these weather patterns necessitates vigilant monitoring and preparedness among local residents.Furthermore, looking towards the Pacific Northwest, a moderate atmospheric river is anticipated to commence its influence on Friday and Saturday, with the Weather Prediction Center flagging a marginal flood risk for Western Washington. This is in alignment with forecasts from the Center for Western Weather and Water Extremes, which anticipates several days of precipitation associated with this atmospheric river event. As federal funding has also been allocated to support the infrastructure for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup, the coordination between emergency management partners and local authorities has never been more crucial. Maintaining situational awareness and readiness is imperative as we navigate through this dynamic weather landscape.Takeaways:* Hurricane Melissa made landfall in Cuba and poses risks for Florida's coast today, especially due to rip currents.* A marginal flash flood risk has been issued for the Southern and Central Appalachians today, necessitating caution for residents in these regions.* FEMA has announced over $1 billion in federal funding aimed at securing host cities for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.* California is facing red flag warnings due to Santa Ana winds and low humidity, prompting pre-deployment of firefighting resources.* The Pacific Northwest will experience a moderate atmospheric river, leading to potential flooding in Western Washington later this week.* Several states, including Connecticut and New Jersey, are under marginal flood risks due to expected heavy rainfall in the upcoming days.Source[NHC | https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh/MIATCPAT3+html/290851.html][NWS Key West | https://www.weather.gov/key/][NWS Jacksonville | https://www.weather.gov/jax/][WPC Day 1 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=1&opt=curr][SPC Day 1 | https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?format=txt&glossary=1&issuedby=DY1&product=SWO&site=JKL&version=1][WPC Day 3 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/index.shtml][CW3E AR Outlook (Oct 28) | https://cw3e.ucsd.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/28Oct2025_Outlook/28Oct2025_Outlook.pdf][FEMA | https://www.fema.gov/print/txt/node/705701][NWS Los Angeles | https://www.weather.gov/lox/][NWS San Diego | https://www.weather.gov/sgx/][Cal OES | https://news.caloes.ca.gov/governor-newsom-predeploys-firefighting-resources-southern-california-ahead-of-dangerous-fire-weather/][WPC Day 2 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=2&opt=curr][WPC Day 2 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=2&opt=curr][NWS Key West | https://www.weather.gov/key/][NWS Jacksonville | https://www.weather.gov/jax/][NHC | https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh/MIATCPAT3+html/290851.html][WPC Day 1 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=1&opt=curr][WPC Day 2 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=2&opt=curr][WPC Day 2 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=2&opt=curr][WPC Day 2 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=2&opt=curr][WPC Day 2 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/index.shtml][NWS Wilmington | https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=34.2026&lon=-77.8815][NWS Topsail Beach hazards | https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?firewxzone=NCZ106&lat=34.3696&local_place1=Topsail+Beach+NC&lon=-77.6288&product1=Beach+Hazards+Statement&warncounty=NCC141&warnzone=NCZ106][SPC Day 1 | https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?format=txt&glossary=1&issuedby=DY1&product=SWO&site=JKL&version=1][WPC Day 2 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=2&opt=curr][WPC Day 2 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=2&opt=curr][NWS Charleston | https://www.weather.gov/chs/][WPC Day 1 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=1&opt=curr][SPC Day 1 | https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?format=txt&glossary=1&issuedby=DY1&product=SWO&site=JKL&version=1][NWS Wakefield Briefing | https://www.weather.gov/akq/brief][WPC Day 3 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/index.shtml][NWS Seattle AFD | https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?format=ci&glossary=1&issuedby=sew&product=afd&site=nws&version=1][WPC Day 1 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=1&opt=curr] This is a public episode.

Emma Burnette, Macy Minor, & Little Holloway | SWO24 Summer Camp | Wednesday NightFor this year's girls night session, we changed things up a little bit. In this session, you get to hear from three SWO women: Emma Burnette, Macy Minor, and Little Holloway. Each of these women shares what the Lord has been teaching them in their current season of life.Emma walks through Psalm 51 and discusses the roles of conviction and confession before the Lord. She shares 3 things we can learn from King David in this Psalm.Macy shares 1 Peter 3:11-12 and shows how we can rejoice in suffering. Joy in Christ cannot be measured by how we feel, but by the character and nature of Christ himself. God uses trials in our lives to help us to depend on him more and glorify him through them.Little walks through how to expose Satan's lies and fight against sin. We hope this session encourages young women to pursue the Lord and fight for holiness.Psalm 51Proverbs 3:11-121 Peter 1:3-7Hebrews 11:12 Corinthians 4:16-17Hebrews 10:36-39Romans 7:23Psalm 143Psalm 119:9Romans 13:14Ephesians 5:32 Corinthians 10:3-51 Corinthians 10:13Please leave a review on Apple or Spotify to help others grow in their faith.

This week's EYE ON NPI is the 'top' pick for the 'top' of the year: our first NPI choice of 2024 is Microchip's MPLAB PICkit 5 in-circuit debugger! (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/m/microchip-technology/mplab-pickit-5-in-circuit-debugger) This is the latest all-in-one toolkit for programming and debugging any chip available from Microchip, and believe us when we say there's a lot of chips available with different program/debug systems that need supporting! MCP purchased Atmel in 2016 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmel#Acquisition_by_Microchip_Technology) and since then has been slowly integrating Atmel chips such as AVR/SAM/ATtiny/ATmega into the MCP toolchains and workflows. For that reason, the PICkit is powered by a advanced 300MHz ATSAME70 chip, which provides ICSP, MIPS EJTAG, SWD, AVR JTAG, AVR UPDI & PDI, AVR ISP, TPI and debugWire. To do that, there's an 8-pin 0.1" socket connector on the end, you're expected to select the right grouping of pins for whatever chip you're targeting. You can make a custom wire harness, but we think you might be best off also picking up the AC102015 Adapter Kit (https://www.digikey.com/short/tr3bhf52) which comes with every popular cable adapter. OK since we are talking about a PICkit, it's not surprising that all of the PIC microcontrollers are supported - these use an "ICSP" programming method (https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/30277d.pdf) with power, ground, two data pins and a VPP high-voltage line for FLASH reprogramming. We still use this interface to program chips like the PIC12 on the pixie 3W LED driver (https://www.adafruit.com/product/2741) This interface is ancient and will program basically every PIC12, PIC16 and beyond - Microchip was thankfully very consistent on this interface. Of course, you probably are also using Cortex-based chips: these use JTAG and SWD (https://developer.arm.com/documentation/101636/latest/Debug-and-Trace/JTAG-SWD-Interface). Those are also supported! Since this is a programmer plug debugger, you can also connect SWO for trace. The same JTAG/SWD interface is used for programming and debug. Supporting AVRs is also included, and for less than the price of the ATMEL ICE (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/microchip-technology/ATATMEL-ICE-BASIC/4753381) you get all the same chips supported. Aaaand there's a lot more required to support the whole AVR family. For example, many small older ATtiny chips, you'll be using TPI (https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/Appnotes/doc8373.pdf) because you only have a couple pins available. On newer ATtiny chips (and maybe even ATmegas) the async-uart-single-wire UPDI interface (https://onlinedocs.microchip.com/pr/GUID-DDB0017E-84E3-4E77-AAE9-7AC4290E5E8B-en-US-4/index.html?GUID-9B349315-2842-4189-B88C-49F4E1055D7F) is becoming more popular, that's available with an optional high-voltage mode which would let you use the UPDI pin as a reset pin as well. Standard ISP is supported for programming those Arduino compatibles you've got in a drawer, and there's also debugWire support! This was a one-wire debugging interface for AVRs that we never got to try out, so maybe now I will be able to! Don't forget you'll want that AC102105 Adapter Kit (https://www.digikey.com/short/tr3bhf52) to make wiring to various dev boards easier. The most interesting new features that we haven't seen on other programmers is the 'Programmer To Go' field-reprogramming capability which allows burning full programming configuration files off of a micro SD card to any target, it can even be powered from the target if needed! Use MPLAB X to create the file that contains all the fuses and data to be transferred. Save to any FAT32 formatted uSD card, then on site you can press the button to re-program the device. The indicator LED strip will give some visual feedback so you know what it's up to. If you want more control over the setup, use the iOS or Android app to pair over Bluetooth, then select which file and also get error reports in readable text. For any development needs you've got with PIC or AVR or SAM chips, the Microchip MPLAB PICkit 5 in-circuit debugger (https://www.digikey.com/short/fznt5mnh) is going to be the best and most-supported tool - being an official Microchip product means you don't have to worry about future chip support or historic chip maintenance. And best of all it is in stock right now at DigiKey for under $100.(https://www.digikey.com/short/fznt5mnh) Add one to your cart and it will ship immediately so you can be PIC'ing, debugWire'ing and UPDI'ing by tomorrow afternoon.
Where are you going to be 25 years from now? We should ask ourselves this question from time to time. Believers, let's not pursue the wrong goals and drift away from Jesus.

BONUS EPISODE!! I was recently featured on Teresa Carpenter's YouTube show & was so impacted by her powerful interview & this transparent conversation. A US Navy Commander, Public Affairs Officer, Podcaster, and friend, Theresa has become a tremendous mentor for me as I build my platform on the social media space. We connected through IG 2+ years ago as I was just started to begin my social media account, through her support and direction I've continued to build this community of female empowerment online + watched hers grow as well. She featured me on her channel, "SOS" or "Stories of Service" where I (very transparently) discuss what happened, what's going on now, and what's next in my life. I dive into: + My initial "failure" as an Ensign when I did not obtain my SWO pin and how that effected me as a young Junior Officer and to this day. + Do I feel lonely? + How do I manage the naysayers? + Why did I deactivate my Navy Recruiting IG account @lieutenanthall? + My journey on social media and how it started and WHY I continue it. Tune in to hear it all. Grateful Teresa shared my story & hope this can provide a dose of inspiration to you all. ----------------------------------------------- Theresa's episode link + write up, here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCZpPxdUbCs "I was so impressed by [Kellie's] work ethic and ability to succeed in so many arenas I knew I wanted her back on for a more in-depth conversation on how she became one of the leading public figures serving in the military and sharing her story. Join us as we discuss what drives Kellie each day to succeed in her career as a naval officer, but also as a business owner, podcaster, writer, storyteller and informal/unofficial Navy recruiter.

Former Navy officer, Thibaut Delloue, has seen firsthand the problems that have plagued the US surface Navy for years. His book, The Wardroom, begins as a memoir. However, it turns into a straightforward assessment of issues that have led to several high-profile accidents, which included the collisions of the USS John S. McCain and USS Fitzgerald. Both warships crashed in 2017 and resulted in the deaths of 17 sailors. We discuss Thibaut's experience as a surface warfare officer (SWO) to include his training and lack thereof. Thibaut served on the destroyer USS Carney. His experience included tracking Russian submarines and battling ISIS in Libya. Topics of discussion also include: An overview of the surface Navy and the areas of operations known as “fleets” How a Navy officer becomes a SWO Why the current training and readiness pipeline is insufficient The inability of the surface Navy to be ready for future wars unless changes are made The leadership and command climate within the surface Navy that prioritizes bureaucracy over real leadership The recent spate of high-profile accidents and the many causes that led to them The difference between the US surface Navy and other Navies including the Chinese Navy Thibaut has written about the military for publications like Task & Purpose, the US Naval Institute, War on the Rocks, and The War Horse. He now works in education in Nashville, Tennessee. Check out his website to see more of his writings and background: https://thibautdelloue.com/ His book can be found on Amazon. HELP SPREAD THE WORD!

SWO 22 | Rob Conti | Thursday BreakoutJesus told us to go tell everyone about the good news—the good news that they can have eternal life, be forgiven of sin, and have a real relationship with God. We know we have this commission from the Lord, but we often shy away from having Gospel conversations with people who don't believe in Jesus. If we are honest with ourselves, this is mostly because we are afraid: Afraid of how someone will respond to us. Afraid of what they will think of us. Afraid we will not know what to say if they ask a hard question or make fun of what we believe. This breakout will seek to show us where our confidence in sharing the Gospel comes from and how we can have real conversations with people about Jesus.Resources:2 Corinthians 4Act 17:30-31Hebrews 9:27Teaching SlidesLearn more about our student and adult conferences at Swoutfitters.com.
