As of today, NY is experiencing its third most active tornado season on record, tied with 1998 and 2011 at 23 tors. Only 1992 (25) and 2024 (33) have had more. Something tells me that 2026 is not done yet 👀

EF2/115mph Tornado (Town of Fayette) & EF1/95mph Tornado (Waterloo-Seneca Falls) confirmed along with intense downbursts from the high-end severe storms Wednesday. More details on our Public Information Statement: partnerservices.nws.noaa.gov… #nywx #tornado
Significant damage between Seneca Falls and Waterloo. Only one place of business with power at the moment and they’re mobbed.

The PGA Tour has officially announced a new reimagined Tour Championship incorporating group stages, brackets and matchplay to end the PGA Tour Championship Series launching in 2028.
The new format will be played over rotating, prestigious venues, including courses that the PGA Tour has not been traditionally able to feature, and will provide a clearer, more consequential finish to the season.
Season-Ending Structure for the PGA Tour Championship Series:
• PGA Tour Championship Series Finale: The final 72-hole stroke-play event of the season, featuring a 90-player field, where participation will be required to earn the season-long title, season bonus and compete in the Tour Championship. At the conclusion of the event:
- No. 1 finisher on the season-long points list is determined
- Event winner is determined and official purse distributed
- Bonus distributions paid out
- Top 32 players on the final season-long points list will advance to the two-week Tour Championship
• Tour Championship – Week 1: The championship begins with a three-round, group stage competition with 32 players, in eight groups of four. Players will compete in match play against the other three players in their group. The top two players from each group advance to Week 2 of the Tour Championship. In the event of a tie at the conclusion of group play, a playoff will be contested to determine who from each group advances to Week 2.
• Tour Championship – Week 2: The championship culminates in a four-round, match play competition with all 16 players competing in all four rounds. Players advance through the bracket based on their win-loss record, with the final two undefeated players battling to be crowned Tour Champion. Player records across all four rounds will determine the final championship standings.
The PGA Tour will unveil the full lineup of dates and venues for the 2028 PGA Tour Championship Series, including sites for the 2028 Tour Championship, on February 22, 2027, during a live broadcast event at PGA Tour headquarters. Eligibility for the 2028 PGA Tour Championship Series will be announced following the September 14 Board Meeting.
Over the last few years, the PGA Tour has made several dramatic improvements after seeking extensive feedback from fans and players. This latest announcement promises to provide a really exciting finish to the 2028 season and, personally, I can’t wait to see more authentic matchplay at the top of the sport.

Those Oregon wildfires have really exploded the last few days. Check out the latest HRRR. It shows a large amount of smoke riding the ridge of high pressure across the central US and sliding down into the midwest, great lakes, and eventually the northeast on Sunday and into the early part of the week.
