Some personal news:
I’ve been building a new weather service with Twitter – It’s called @tomorrow.The idea behind Tomorrow is simple: The weather is something that brings us all together.
I'm so excited for you to be a part of it.

And here are the first 16 markets:
@Tomorrow is being modeled after the Washington Post’s Capital Weather Gang, except for the part where a local newspaper is involved. How soon until Twitter does this to local news and sports, too?
Am surprised it took so long.
Weather has been a smart bet, as we know from the time we invested in the @capitalweather gang over at @washingtonpost @Twitter to launch local weather news service with the very talented @EricHolthaus https://t.co/UgPYiKTPuQ?

They’re launching today on the first day of hurricane season and are embracing the “climate emergency” label:
It's no coincidence that we're launching @tomorrow today, on the first day of hurricane season.
Last year's hurricane season was the most active in recorded history. This year's season will be especially dangerous for communities still recovering.
We are in a climate emergency. https://t.co/mWfzkCygL6
