Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. admitted he dumped a dead bear in New York City’s Central Park a decade ago, telling actress Roseanne Barr in a video that he did not kill the bear, but put it in his car with plans to skin it after he found it lying dead on a road upstate. What do you think?
You might be confused when looking at Debby this afternoon. It barely resembles a tropical storm. But as has been the case with Debby since it was a tropical wave, it’s the size that really does it. Hurricane hunters found 60 mph winds about 100 miles away from the center, so Debby is currently a large, lumbering tropical storm.
Tropical storm force winds extend out about 185 miles from the center. This also means Debby will have a bit widespread storm surge potential as it makes final approach tonight.
Certainly not the worst surge we’ve ever seen here, but spatially it will cover a wide area. From here, Debby will continue generally north and eventually northeast, accelerating and transitioning into an extratropical storm as it moves out of the Southeast.
Debby will track through North Carolina tomorrow, into Virginia early Friday, and across Pennsylvania and New York Friday afternoon and evening, into Canada this weekend.
Today’s concerns
Heavy rain is ongoing again in South Carolina this afternoon. In addition, a couple tornado warnings are in effect in North Carolina as I write this.
A high risk, level 4/4 of excessive rainfall is in place for much of southeastern North Carolina and northeastern South Carolina today. Some of the rain coming ashore now near North Myrtle Beach is quite heavy, and we’ll probably see flooding begin not too long from now in these areas.
Debby will only slowly come ashore today and tonight, so this rain isn’t going to move a whole ton. Hence why we see the flooding risks beginning to increase now.
Thursday’s concerns
Debby will make an effort to get to the North Carolina border north of Florence tomorrow. This means that rain is only going to gradually expand northward. But that said, we will likely see a high risk again emerge for considerable flash flooding up into central and eastern North Carolina, including Fayetteville, RDU, and parts of the Piedmont.
We could easily see 3 to 6 inches of rain anywhere in this region. Higher amounts are possible as well. Rapid onset flash flooding is likely to take place, so limiting travel in this area, and possibly avoiding I-95 south of Rocky Mount isn’t a bad idea tomorrow. Conditions should improve Friday in much of this area.
Friday’s focus comes north
As Debby begins to accelerate north, getting absorbed into an upper atmospheric trough of low pressure Friday and Saturday, its heavy rain will also come northward. We expect to see a period of heavy rain as Debby’s core comes north along the eastern front of the Appalachians across Virginia, Central Pennsylvania, and Central New York. Some of these areas have seen very heavy rainfall recently, and it will take very little for flooding to unfold once more.
As of now, the moderate risk (level 3 of 4) for excessive rain does not include Philadelphia, New York City, or New Jersey, although some locally heavy rain is possible there too. It does include Harrisburg, Scranton, Syracuse, Utica, and Burlington, among other places. Portions of Vermont are extremely vulnerable to flooding right now, and any shift in Debby’s track could lead to a larger impact there.
From there, Debby heads into Canada, where heavy rain is likely across Quebec and Labrador. The heaviest rain should follow the St. Lawrence across Quebec. with perhaps even some locally heavy rain in Newfoundland’s Great Northern Peninsula. And then Debby will be gone. Goodbye.
Let’s get you caught up on some other issues in the tropics. First, the area in the Caribbean that we’ve been watching has seen a significant decline in development odds since yesterday. They’ve just been taken down to 0 percent, and as I noted yesterday, high pressure over Texas and the South should keep this wave firmly suppressed south of the Gulf. That’s that.
Looking farther east and farther out in time, we’re seeing a signal on European ensemble modeling for potentially two more waves to watch. The first one would arrive in the Lesser Antilles or nearby in about 5 or 6 days. No development is expected out of this one before then. Look for this to perhaps get added to the NHC big board tomorrow if model trends continue. Once in the eastern Caribbean or near the islands, it will sort of be at a crossroads. A weaker system or disorganized wave would probably get forced south and west back into the Caribbean and off to the west by strong high pressure over the South. A slightly better organized system would almost certainly feel the “pull” of the deep trough over New England.
It’s too early to speculate on what is more likely. The Euro ensemble certainly favors the “capture” scenario, but I’ve seen situations like this where the high is a little too strong and forces a southwest motion earlier, avoiding the capture. So I’m basically unsure about this wave. For now, it’s not a concern for anyone, but as is the case in August, check back in a day or two to see what’s changed.
Additional waves may develop off Africa heading into late month, but we don’t have any specific details as of yet.

My question is regarding a rather sticky situation I am unwillingly involved in. In short, I think I am reliving an episode of The Office. I have two colleagues who are about to get married to each other, let us call them Joe and Kate. Unfortunately, I know for a fact that Kate is having sex with Peter, who is my direct manager.
It’s an open secret in the office that Peter and Kate often go on “work trips” together, and everyone knows it except Joe. This isn’t speculation … because about a month ago, Peter and Kate were “gone” but there was a deadline to meet. So Peter joined one of our meetings via video, and we SAW KATE try to sneak behind, undressed. Fortunately, Joe wasn’t in the meeting (different team).
I am wondering what exactly I should do here? Morally I am against cheating, but also, and I can’t stress this enough, I just don’t want to deal with the mess of it all. However, the wedding is approaching and I have received an invite. I can’t in good conscience go to this wedding when I know what I know. I feel a moral compulsion to tell Joe, but is it even my business? Should I even get involved?
Other than this mess, I generally like my office and my coworkers. I am paid well for my role, and other than his less than stellar attitude towards sexual fidelity, Peter is a good manager who has my back. My industry is quite niche, and my skill set is specialised, so finding another job won’t be an issue. But, I am comfortable here and really don’t want to switch.
But every time I see poor Joe around the office, the guilt consumes me. I am so anxious about this, that my appetite has reduced and my husband and I have seriously started looking for a therapist for me to help me deal.
Oh no.
Whenever a question involves whether to tell someone their partner is cheating, you’ll find arguments on both sides, with some people strongly on the side of “the partner deserves to know / their health could be at risk / it will make it worse if they realize people knew and didn’t tell them” and others who argue that it’s not your business, you risk the person shooting the messenger, if they stay with the person your relationship with them won’t recover, some people would prefer not to know, etc. As a general rule — to the extent there can be one, which is not a lot — I’d say to let your sense of what the person would want you to do to be your guide, although it’s not always clear, and it’s sticky in the best of circumstances.
But this case is additionally complicated by the fact that these are your coworkers and the affair partner is your boss.
For the record, Kate and Peter are particularly horrible people for not only treating Joe’s heart with such casual disregard, but also for treating his professional life that way — for humiliating him in front of his colleagues (as that’s so often how this will feel), for putting the rest of you in this position, and for apparently not caring what this will mean for Joe’s ability to comfortably remain in his job if he finds out. All of that would be true even if they were being as discreet as possible, but their complete brazenness adds even more insult.
Importantly: are Peter and Kate in each other’s chain of command? If so, that’s a whole additional layer of Not Okay, and it’s a legal liability for your company.
As for what to do … ugh.
Because these are coworkers and presumably not close friends, it would be defensible to leave it alone. This sucks for Joe, but you’re not the one to blame for what’s happening, and you’re not ethically obligated to risk blowing up your work life. In theory, if Peter weren’t your boss, I’d more comfortable advising you to discreetly talk with Joe … but Peter is your boss, and even if you ask Joe not to cite you as his source, people say things when they’re angry and upset and betrayed and there’s no guarantee you wouldn’t be named. You’d like to think that if that happened, Peter — who you describe as “a good manager who has my back” — wouldn’t hold it against you, but there’s so much potential for this to explode on you professionally that I can’t in good conscience recommend it.
Do you have HR? If Peter and Kate aren’t in each other’s chain of command, HR may not care (although it sounds like it’s causing enough drama and distraction in your workplace that they should), but if there’s any reporting relationship there, it’s very much their business and that might be the easiest route to know you’ve done something about it.

A security vulnerability report claimed that they were able to bypass a security feature in three easy steps:
The security feature is now disabled!
Well yeah, because you disabled it.
The Enabled registry value is in the HKEY_
This is cut-and-dried but it’s really surprising how often people appear to be concerned that an administrator can compromise security.
No really, variations on this non-vulnerability are reported a lot. They all boil down to, “I found a security vulnerability: An administrator can disable a security feature!” Sometimes, they even admit it themselves: “You must run the PoC as an administrator.” Other times, they confess to not being an expert on the subject: “I am not a security expert, but I can confidently say that I can bypass the security feature using this method.”

I manage a small customer-facing portion of a broader team. The 10 of us are responsible for being on the frontlines, understanding our customer needs, and responding to questions and new requests.
Since the pandemic, our company has switched to using Slack as our primary mode of communication. While the company is based in the midwest, my team is highly distributed over multiple geographic locations and most of our partners use Slack to ask questions and make new requests of the team.
One of my newest team members, who joined about six months ago, puts her Slack status as perpetually “away” so that you can never tell if she’s online or not. I waited a few weeks to see if this was temporary, and when it seemed clear it was not, I asked her if this was intentional. She said it was — that she didn’t want people to know if she was online because she didn’t want to feel pressure to respond right away. I told her that this being a client-facing role, it is important to signal when you are available / when you are not, and that perhaps she could do that by using status messages instead. She told me that was too much effort for her, and she will think about what she can do instead “that works best for her.” She also suggested I was not respecting individual work styles/preferences/autonomy and not assuming good intent.
I was super taken aback by all of that and quite upset since I’m actually quite a hands-off manager by nature and have to force myself to be more prescriptive at times (have been working on that with a coach!). I rarely message her during the day or send her time-sensitive requests, partially because I assume she’s not available or I won’t get a timely response. I’ve also received feedback that some of our customers don’t reach out to her because she never appears to be online. As a result, she is likely handling a smaller volume of work and requests than my other team members. When I mentioned that wasn’t fair to the rest of the team, she accused me of making “unnecessary comparisons” between her and other team members.
My HR rep has confirmed it is within my purview to make signaling online availability a requirement of the role and has suggested I schedule a time to set team-wide norms and expectations, which I plan to do next week. But in general, her response to me made me feel like a total jerk and a terrible manager. I’m also worried that if I let her keeping doing this, than there’s no reason I couldn’t let the rest of my team do so — and a client-facing team that appears perpetually offline would be a super bad look.
Your team member is messing with your head, and you’re letting her.
It’s completely reasonable and solidly within your purview to require that people not set themselves to perpetually unavailable on Slack — in any role, really, but particularly in ones where (a) customers use Slack to contact them and/or (b) the team uses Slack as a primary communication tool. You have both factors in play. There’s nothing remotely heavy-handed about your request.
What is ridiculous is your employee’s announcement that being available to colleagues and clients is “too much effort” for her, and her attempt to frame this as a you problem rather than a her problem. To be clear: it’s a her problem. (And believe me when I tell you that she’s going to be a problem in other ways too. If you haven’t seen those yet, brace yourself for them to emerge — in fact, assume they’re already happening and you just haven’t seen them yet. If you go digging into her dealings with coworkers and clients, you’re almost certainly going to find more problems. Take this as a sign to dig.)
There are of course times when it’s perfectly reasonable for someone to set their status to “away” or “unavailable,” like when they need deep-focus time and want to avoid interruptions. But it’s not reasonable to set it that way 24/7 in a job that relies on Slack to communicate.
Let her know what the requirements are for availability status on your team, and then hold her to that. If she wants to think about an alternative that works better for her, she’s welcome to propose one and you can consider whether it will work or not, but until then she needs to indicate her availability and meet whatever responsiveness standards your team requires. If that doesn’t work for her, then the job doesn’t work for her. Which would be perfectly fine for her to conclude! But she can’t expect to stay in the job and turn it into something it’s not.

Tropical Storm Debby is still a formal entity this morning, with 45 mph winds, and it is now drifting back offshore of Georgia, where it’s expected to meander through tomorrow night. It will then likely come back onshore Thursday and lift north and finally out on Friday. But before it does that, it will continue to dump copious amounts of rain on the Carolinas with an increasing signal for flooding to the north as well. Let’s walk day by day.
Today
With Debby meandering offshore, expect heavy rain to basically continue in place. There will be rainfall rates of 2 to 4 inches an hour at times, mainly north of Hilton Head and south of Columbia. But, as 6 to 12 inches of rain has already fallen, flash flooding is underway, and it will continue.
As Debby drifts a little farther offshore, the rain may become a little more scattered or intermittent, but it will continue to potentially flood areas through the day. Debby should not gain much intensity today as it meanders offshore, as it will be getting its bearings.
For a look at river forecasts in South Carolina, follow this link.
Wednesday
Debby will continue to meander offshore, but with generally low shear and warm water off the coast of South Carolina, it will likely begin to reorganize some. It could become a strong tropical storm again as it turns back northward toward the South Carolina coast later tomorrow.
On Wednesday, the flooding threat mostly exits Georgia and is confined to South Carolina and extreme southeastern North Carolina, including Wilmington, Myrtle Beach, and Charleston. Travel on I-95 may be a bit difficult as well through the Florence area, depending on exactly where the heaviest rainfall sets up. Another high risk is in effect in this area.
Thursday
Debby should move back inland across South Carolina on Thursday. Storm surge will again be a concern (as will high tides between now and Thursday).
Surge of 2 to 4 feet will be possible along the South Carolina coast and possibly parts of Georgia and North Carolina as well with Debby moving around offshore and coming back onshore.
As Debby comes north a little more steadily Thursday, heavy rain will spread into North Carolina. While flooding risk will have mainly been confined to the extreme southeast corner of the state to this point, there will be a pretty significant expansion of heavy rain northward on Thursday that will engulf more of the state, including the Sandhills, the Raleigh-Durham area, and portions of the Piedmont in a moderate or high risk of excessive rain and flash flooding.
Most of the rain on Thursday will front run Debby, as the south side of its circulation will probably have lesser rain and more scattered showers. As the center gets across North Carolina late Thursday and Thursday night, we’ll see conditions slowly improve. But some serious flash flooding is a concern in both rural and urban areas of the eastern half of the state.
Friday-Saturday
Debby will continue to come northward on Friday, likely tracking across Virginia and eventually being absorbed by a trough digging into the Midwest and Great Lakes. What does this mean? Debby will become extratropical here, meaning it’ll transition from a tropical storm or depression into low pressure, a process that is meteorologically noteworthy but will have little impact on impacts seen. Heavy ran will spread across Virginia and into portions of Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New York here. These areas are expecting heavy rainfall today as well, so with soils saturated, additional rainfall from Debby will exacerbate issues.
Flash flooding is likely on Friday or Saturday as Debby’s exit strategy unfolds. This may include Philly, New York, and Boston.
From here, Debby’s remnants will accelerate out, likely bringing some locally heavy rain and gusty winds to portions of Quebec and Atlantic Canada. And we can finally close the book on Debby.
We continue to watch a tropical wave with a 30 percent chance of development per the National Hurricane Center. This doesn’t look like much today, but as it comes west it may develop.
I will say that some of the more aggressive modeling with this wave has backed off considerably in the last 24 hours, and at this point there is minimal operational or ensemble model support for any development. 30 percent seems reasonable, if not a little aggressive right now. Regardless, high pressure over Texas and South will probably keep this wave fairly suppressed and tracking toward Mexico next week. We’ll continue to watch.
Behind this, there are no other areas of interest highlighted by the NHC, but the next wave emerging off Africa is showing some signs of developing in modeling. We have about a week to watch before anything happens with that one, so we won’t over-speculate. All in all, as we get into the mid-August period, things look average. That’s good. I’m sure it won’t last, but we’ll hopefully have a couple days after Debby to exhale and regain our bearings.
In brief: Today’s post goes into just how hot this week is going to get in Houston, and when we might expect a smidgen of relief. We also discuss the disastrous rains from Debby over the southeastern United States, and another tropical wave in the Caribbean Sea. Finally, if you’ve been noticing data issues on our app, we have an explanation.
If you opened our iOS or Android apps in the past couple of days, you may have noticed that weather data was missing. Issues with AccuWeather resulting in data ceasing to flow. We’re still working through the problem, but in the meantime, we’ve released a version of the app that reverts to using National Weather Service data. Make sure the devices where you’ve installed the app are set to auto-update and you should be good. Or, go to the respective app stores and manually download the latest version, which should appear today or tomorrow.
And it’s not just a bug fix: We’ve now made it easy to submit a bug report to us, which auto-populates with the technical details we need to chase down the issue. Tap/click the Settings gear icon in the drawer that shows all the cities and look for “Send Feedback.” Choose your email software at the screen that appears and an email with much of the needed info filled will be generated. Add as much detail about what you’re seeing and send it.
Thanks for your patience, and thanks for using the SCW app!
With high pressure firmly in control of our weather, today will be sunny and hot. High temperatures will push into the upper 90s for the majority of the Houston metro area, with a few inland locations possibly hitting 100 degrees. Do not expect much relief from a breeze, as winds will max out at about 5 mph. We may see a few clouds mix in this afternoon, but the chance of a shower is, at best, 10 percent. Low temperatures will fall only to about 80 degrees overnight.
The heat will peak during this period, with high temperatures reaching around 100 degrees most days. Skies will be mostly sunny to completely sunny during this period, with clear, warm nights. Winds will remain low throughout the period. Rain chances are effectively zero. Houston in August, you’ve got to love it, right? Just kidding. I’m counting down the days until September (we have 26 left, by the way).
As high pressure backs off, we should see temperatures start to back off slightly on Sunday, perhaps into the mid- to upper-90s for most locations. It’s not much, but it’s something. We may also start to see some slightly better rain chances with some sea breeze showers starting Sunday or Monday. But we’re still looking at predominantly sunny skies, and any rain chances are likely on the order of 20 percent daily.
Tropical Storm Debby is continuing to pound the coastal regions of Georgia and the Carolinas with heavy rainfall, and it’s likely to continue to do so for a couple more days as the storm essentially stalls offshore. This is already producing devastating flooding in locations such as Savannah and Georgia. We have more details about all of this on The Eyewall.
The National Hurricane Center also continues to track a tropical wave in the Caribbean Sea that is moving a little north of due west. There has been a hue and cry about this system on social media, as a handful of operational runs of the GFS model have brought a tropical system to Texas. While we cannot rule that out, there remains little support for such a scenario in the ensembles. The most likely outcome is a weak disturbance that continues to plow westward, remaining south of Texas. Regardless, we’ll keep an eye on things.

I lost my temper with several employees today. I yelled and cussed, but I did not say anything discriminatory. Before I lost it, multiple employees had done the opposite of what I instructed today. I reminded them of who they worked for. I yelled and used the “f” word. We all use it every day.
By the end of the day, with most employees having done something, I got really mad and slammed the door to my office. I slammed it so hard that some of the door facing flew off. Supposedly, it came close to hitting one of the ladies at her desk. After that, all of the employees in the office except one (the one who I yelled at this morning) walked out. I followed them outside and told them if they leave without permission, don’t come back tomorrow. They still left.
Two of the five who left, I did not have any problem with today. I did not yell at them, even though one of them did what she wanted today, not what I asked.
One of them was the husband of one of the two who I didn’t yell at. The wife in this couple has a text group with all the employees on it. She has been sending out text messages talking B.S.
I know that I shouldn’t get so angry and yell at them. I am sorry that the wood almost hit someone. She happens to be our newest employee.
Most of this started when our payroll clerk informed me that two employees wrote vacation on their timecards when they left early. Let me explain. They were on call the day before and got called out at 7pm. They did not complete the emergency until 11 am. Their supervisor told them they could go home if they wanted. Understandably, they did. They were given a choice. I have no problem paying them overtime for the time they worked. I do not believe that I owe them vacation for leaving and going home. Their supervisor did not approve the overtime.
I am still so angry that I don’t want any of them back, but I need them. The way everyone has been acting lately, doing what they want, I am considering closing the business.
I know I messed up, but I don’t think they all should have walked out without permission.
They absolutely should have walked out, with or without permission. They aren’t your indentured servants and you had lost control of yourself and were being abusive. Walking out was them setting a boundary and saying, “We won’t tolerate this.” They were right to do it.
Screaming at people is never okay. Screaming profanity at people is even less okay. Slamming your door so violently that a piece flew off and almost hit someone is so far over any line of what people should put up with at work that you’re lucky they didn’t all walk out.
I’d be surprised if they all come back.
Losing control like that is a sign that you don’t know how to manage your staff. So while your first priority needs to be apologizing to everyone who witnessed your explosion — whether it was directed at them or not — your second priority needs to be getting yourself some help managing. Classes, books, a coach, whatever will work. Good managers don’t yell.
Managers who do yell typically do it because they don’t know how else to get things done. They’re missing the core tools managers need to have –like how to assign work, give feedback, course-correct, set consequences, and hold people accountable — and so they get increasingly frustrated and desperate, and yelling feels like the only tool they have to make their point. But it’s not an acceptable tool to use— it’s an abuse of your power, and it’s also just flat-out abusive, as a human dealing with other humans. It will make good people not want to work for you, and the ones who stay will be increasingly demotivated, disengaged, and far less likely to take initiative or come up with creative ideas (who wants to take risks when there’s a yeller involved?) or generally be the kind of employee you probably want.
Ironically, yelling also diminishes your authority, by making you look weak and out of control. More on this here.
If you take this incident as a wake-up call that you need to learn how to manage employees, it will strengthen your business. If you don’t, you and the people who work for you in are in for a tough road.
