Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:26:21 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Jack Sweeney, the 20-year-old college student who was once banned from Twitter for posting the real-time movements of Elon Musk’s jet, has a new aircraft in his sights: that of Florida Gov.

Blip On The Radar

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:26:21 GMT

That phrase is in play this week as we are in the middle of another dry stretch of weather. The proverbial blip is in the form of a cold front that will produce clouds and a few showers on Wednesday evening. You can see that front on the surface map for tomorrow…you may also notice that *warmer* symbol as well. i do think we’ll see afternoon temps reach the low to mid 70s before that cool front swings through during the evening hours.In terms of the showers, I think it happens late day and more likely the farther north you are…I don’t think it will rain continuously between 4-9pm but somewhere in that 5-hour window, showers are most likely to occur. The cities and towns (IE lawns & gardens) that do see evening showers, the amount is nothing like this past weekend, rather, around 0.20″ or less. Afterwards, the dry pattern resumes for the remainder of the week and likely into the upcoming Holiday Weekend. Here is the setup..and that setup leads to a 7...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:26:21 GMT

Tuesday was the first day the media could watch Jets OTA practice since the team acquired Aaron Rodgers.But all the assembled media saw of Gang Green’s new superstar quarterback was him standing on the sideline for 90 minutes.After warming up with his teammates, Rodgers spent most of Tuesday’s practice without a helmet on the sideline. He tweaked his calf while warming up and took the day off as he didn’t participate in either individual or team drills.“I just tweaked my calf pre-practice conditions,” Rodgers said. “I don’t think it’s too serious.”Rodgers didn’t go inside with trainers to get looked at as he watched Zach Wilson run the first-team offense during 7-on-7 drills throughout the day.
