It can rain after sundown on Saturday, not a moment before.

Capital Weather Gang @capitalweather.bsky.social · 3d

Significant coastal storm this weekend? Maybe.

Some models have a legit storm giving us rain late Sat/Sun, others keep it more out to sea. Atlantic beaches have higher chance to get hit w/ rain, wind, high surf, flooding.

This is worth watching.

From Right Proper:
Executive Order Me A Beer has beers available to federal employees and contractors who are without a job due to this shutdown/former DOGE cuts or whatever reason. Get a free beer with proof of unemployment or federal i.d.

Brewers Association, the craft brewing industry's lobby, is out with guidance on the immediate shutdown consequences for brewers: www.brewersassociation.org/government-a...

The brewing industry will see immediate disruptions to key regulatory services. The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) has scaled back to only essential staff. As a result, Certificate of Label Approvals (COLA)Opens in new window, formula approvalsOpens in new window, issuance of brewer’s noticesOpens in new window, and other permittingOpens in new window functions are suspended until the agency is fully staffed again.

New or pending Small Business Administration (SBA) loan applicationsOpens in new window are stalled, as the SBA is largely non-operational during the shutdown. Payments on existing loans and federal excise tax collection will continue.

Government shutdown halts TTB services—label, formula, and permit approvals are on pause, and SBA loan applications stalled. Brewers Association warns delays will worsen with a backlog once the shutdown ends.

Long line for men’s room at Aslin DC; only one toilet working. Someone apparently tried to flush a Zyn in the urinal; staff tells me this happens “all the time.”
