    2020 Atlantic Hurricane Season: An exaggerated example of an unnerving trend

    Nick Lilja Thursday, November 12, 2020 // 12:59 pm

    As we get toward the end of a long – and I mean LONG – Atlantic Hurricane Season, I wanted to pause for a moment and reflect on the trend… Read more →

    I’m still not a doctor. So, on these posts you’ll never hear my opinion about anything medically-related. All I will do is cultivate and distribute medical data from real, actual… Read more →

    That treatment is pretty simple: Wear a mask. In the paper, “The role of community-wide wearing of face mask for control of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic due to SARS-CoV-2”… Read more →

Decent shot of cold potentially settles South to begin December

Decent shot of cold potentially settles South to begin December

Nick Lilja Monday, November 23, 2020 // 2:41 pm

Remember how I said, “around Thanksgiving” was the likely going to be our first shot of real cold air? I think the first time I said that was back around Election day. I made a post about it the following week. You may have heard me, on TV during the last week, talking about when our actual cool down arrives…. Read more →

Not Weather: That time I tried out for the Amarillo Venom indoor football team

Nick Lilja Friday, November 13, 2020 // 1:45 am

I was chatting with Taylor Curet after the 10p news Thursday night and we got to talking about the time I tried out for an Arena League team back in 2012. Yup! Back in January of 2012, I thought it would be a good idea to test my skills against some of the Texas Panhandle’s top Arena League prospects. It… Read more →

Tropical Storm Eta still pegged to turn, drift toward northern Gulf Coast

Tropical Storm Eta still pegged to turn, drift toward northern Gulf Coast

Nick Lilja Tuesday, November 10, 2020 // 10:44 am

I think it is a funny coincidence that the one tropical system with the name that is an acronym for “estimated time of arrival” is the tropical system that is taking the most indirect path to a final destination as possible. Guy 1: What is the ETA on Eta? Guy 2: No idea, it is taking its sweet time. Guy… Read more →

11/9/20 PM Update: Tropical Storm Eta to turn, drift north toward northern Gulf Coast by weekend

Nick Lilja Monday, November 9, 2020 // 5:16 pm

It is an ugly, small, and not very angry storm. But that doesn’t mean it won’t cause problems. Just ask Florida. Tropical Storm Eta is in the Gulf trying to reorganize itself in the face of dry air and some shear. It has a difficult life ahead of it (humans aren’t complaining) but there is still a chance it can… Read more →

Looking Back: Five years ago today, "Nick did the sports" for the first time - a story

Looking Back: Five years ago today, “Nick did the sports” for the first time – a story

Nick Lilja Friday, November 6, 2020 // 1:35 pm

 I can’t believe it has been five years since I got an opportunity to anchor “The Endzone” (now called “GameTime”) on WDAM. I found the video today while sifting through some old files looking for something else. I get the question “why were you doing sports?” a lot. And, for those who have often wondered about that, I want… Read more →
