A large storm system produced up to 26 tornadoes last week, however that wasn't the biggest story. The system's central pressure aided in producing very strong winds (with some gusts exceeding 75 mph). These winds helped create fire conditions in New York, allowing for the Long Island brush fires to combust, and strengthened ongoing blazes in South Carolina.After a tangent on making Daylight Savings Time permanent, Gavin discusses the trajectory and severe weather associated with the Colorado low (mid-latitude cyclone), followed by the ongoing wildfires in South Carolina and New York.Fire weather is a real concern!

It was a quiet week of weather, but severe weather season is around the corner.Hundreds of probationary employees within NOAA were terminated, including meteorologists at the National Weather Service.

In this atypical episode, Gavin breaks down the implications and impacts of an understaffed weather service alongside its parent agency.Thank you for supporting The Weather Review!
