This is the National Map from all the offices. The yellow color is a tornado watch. The orange color is a heat advisory. The other orange color is a severe thunderstorm warning. Why are there two orange colors? Who thought that was a good idea? We don't abide nonsense in Podunk.

The National Hurricane Center didn't find any hurricanes this afternoon.

We suspect they weren't using their imagination to look at the clouds, but if they insist.
