## Resource

This week on the Weekly Weather Brief, meteorologists Emily Gracey and Kerrin Jeromin break down the season's first named storm, Tropical Storm Arthur, and the flooding impacts that stretched far beyond the forecast cone. They discuss why rainfall remains one of the deadliest tropical hazards and how extreme heat can become a growing threat after storms move out. The duo also looks at a significant severe weather outbreak across the Midwest, including strong tornadoes in Illinois and Indiana, and dives into a fascinating debate within the weather community: should drone footage of storm damage be shared publicly? Plus, summer officially arrives this weekend, and Emily and Kerrin explain the science and storytelling behind Show Your Stripes Day, one of the most recognizable climate communication campaigns in the world. Grab your favorite weather-themed beverage and join us for another week of weather, science, and conversation in 10 minutes. https://showyourstripes.info/ https://www.climatecentral.org/climate-matters/warming-stripes https://www.instagram.com/p/DZubxUNRyDh/
