The term “fire weather watch” is currently trending, with over 20,000 searches, primarily due to significant weather warnings and alerts being issued across various regions. Recent reports highlight critical fire weather conditions, particularly in urban areas like Chicago, where a fire weather watch was announced for Wednesday. The threat of rapidly spreading wildfires in densely populated regions typically raises public concern and prompts individuals to seek more information, contributing to increased search interest.
In Colorado, the unusual convergence of fire, storm, and avalanche warnings has generated additional attention. As weather patterns become more unpredictable, the juxtaposition of different hazards makes it imperative for residents to stay informed about potential risks, which further drives search activity regarding fire weather watches and alerts.
Additionally, reports from multiple states citing “extremely critical” fire weather warnings, accompanied by forecasts predicting wind gusts up to 70 MPH, amplify the urgency of the situation. These conditions create heightened risks for wildfire spread, compelling the public to search for updates and safety information, thereby sustaining the trending interest in fire weather watches.

“Tonight on NBC Primetime Olympic coverage… Figure Skating! Just like every other night of primetime coverage.”
P
Think we can get on the podium in slope style?
R
So breaking down whats left and what Americas best chances going forward are imo. Jordan Stolz I think wins both the 1500 and Mass start dudes been unstoppable. I think Elena Meyers Taylor and Kailey Humphries wins in 2 woman bobsled. That one’s going to be damn close. This one will get some flak probably but I like both hockeys teams to win gold. The men both Canada and USA have been dominant but I still dont trust Jordan Binnington and I feel that will be the difference. Neither goalies have been tested but I trust Connor Hellebuyke more. The ladies I am so nervous about. They have a dominant team but its still Canada and its the Olympics but feel the best I have about them to win. The rest no idea. Women’s curling team could get to the medal round could lose their first matchup in the quarterfinals. Shifrin depends which version shows up the real one or the faux one we’ve dealt with mostly in the Olympics
M
the women are definitely more likely to win than the men in hockey. either way i’ll be rooting for the women’s team to win more than the men’s team just because of the tkachuk’s alone. fingers crossed for bobsled too!
F
in the men’s ski halfpipe, we have the 2nd,3rd,and 4th,favorites.
R
That hasn’t happened yet lol. God this schedule is wonky. Thought that was long over with
P
Slope style we could shock some people
F
My only concern with Jordan Stolz in the Mass Start is that everyone is going to try and team up against him and make it harder for him to medal. they might not let it come down to a sprint finish.
F
Let’s be real, Shiffrin does not show up in Olympics. I will be happy if she proves me wrong tho.
R
But she could at anytime and its her event so theres still a chance there.
U
Ew. I’m just getting around to watching the figure skating short program. Heart is broken for Amber. But what I find gross is how the cameras couldn’t wait to zoom in on her face during such a vulnerable time. They’re like vultures praying on someone during a time of weakness. Shouldn’t be allowed. Who the fuck truly wants to see that anyway?
C
My shitty comparison about Amber’s situation: The short program is the multiple choice test, the free program is the essay/oral exam. You have to pass the multiple choice test to even attend the next phase, the essay/oral exam. And she failed the multiple choice test. The required element is a triple, she only did a double > invalid element > 0 points. Can’t do anything about that she already knew that. You can’t undid that or fix that with another jump in the short program.
R
So we are hear again Michaela Shifrin will she show up tomorrow in Slalom. Might be her last chance in the Olympics
T
Anyone rewatch Blades of Glory every winter Olympics? Such a fun movie. I’m probably going to rewatch Eddie the Eagle and Cool Runnings at some point too.
D
Would love to see the Iron Lotus (minus decapitation) at the pairs skate one day
C
following teamjapan on IG because it is full of joy

A
If you can, maybe leave a nice/encouraging comment or message for Amber on one of her pages. Unfortunately i’m sure her comments sections on whatever platforms she uses are gonna be full of smug hatred and harassment because people in this country are terrible and in a political cult. She may never see it but a few messages of support in the fire storm could be all the difference in someone’s mindset and mental health. 💖
B
I went to post something positive on her most recent photos and saw just posted a cute message / meme on her instagram story, about keeping on. I hope she’s doing okay, my heart is broken for her
O
So, I ask this question respectfully – why is it such a big deal that she is queer? There are openly queer male skaters, and from a Google search there are more than 30 queer players from the PWHL. So why is Amber the one focused on?
J
she’s the first openly queer woman to represent the US in figure skating. So she’s breaking barriers in this sport in a good way! But I dunno why she’s being so focused on otherwise. Homophobia and her anti-Trump comments make her an easy target for sad people
O
>her anti-Trump comments Oh, I had no idea. That explains everything.
D
Why anyone would hate on her after something like that is unimaginable, but alas there are some truly sick people in the world 😔
J
ugh of course. people are terrible!!
N
Ugh I’m afraid to look. I despise how low people are on social media. But it could be the total Opposite. And lots of kind positive comments
O
For every unkind comment (not many thankfully) there are about 20 comments ripping that person a new one. Most comments have been supportive so far.
V
Well time to catch up on big air
P
Anyone here been to New Orleans?
S
Yea, it’s awesome. Vegas/Nashville levels of party city with some actual fucking culture.
I
Can anyone let me know who may be playing in: OIHO55 Mens’s hockey semi final 15:10 AND OIHO56 Mens’s hockey semi final 10:40 Having a hard time finding a bracket that shows possibilities.
D
u spelled Ohio wrong
J
1040 is Canada-Czechia. 1510 is USA-Sweden. Assuming you’re looking at times in the Eastern US Time Zone.
I
Sorry, to clarify I mean for Friday’s semi finals. Hoping to attend the one that the US may be in.
W
I don’t think we know yet, do we? The matchups depend on who wins the next round. The US always seems to be in the later game, though, probably at NBC’s request.
D
Yeah they will reseed the matchups after tomorrow’s QFs too so it’s up in the air
I
Got it – thanks all!

Sad, I am sad. I wanted a glorious moment on the ice for an American and no more meltdowns. I hate it, I dont want more of that! Just triumphs please! What a rough games. I’m soooooo sad for Amber, she’s so devastated bc a clean program was RIGHT THERE. Alyssa was solid though and her headspace needs to be studied, she has such a positive attitude and mindset!!! I’m very proud of her. Japanese skaters are insanely talented, effortless and consistent. Will be excited to see their free skates and would not be surprised by several medals. Bumsville for Team USA though. Really wanted some figure skating happiness. Maybe Thursday!
A
Alysa was fantastic and put herself in a great spot for a medal. i’m sad they didn’t all come through tho
B
Her skate wasn’t even bad but she made an error and you can’t do that at the Olympics
J
yeah I am aware! It’s why I’m sad for her, it was an excellent skate to that point
D
I feel bad for Amber too, but I wouldnt say Bumsville for team USA though. Alyssa is in 3rd (i think?), and we still have the free skate. She can still go first or second, and I would be very happy with a bronze too!
J
yeah I am being dramatic haha, I just didn’t want to see heartache again. But that happens at the Olympics. Also wanted the chance to compete for gold and I think Amber knew she could be in the mix
D
Oh I know 😄 I wish we had more skaters within reach. But we’re so proud no matter what!!
M
Top 4 with 3 japanese women, very strong showing
F
I know they are banned for good reason, but Russia not being involved in this Winter Olympics kind of exposes how little depth some of these Winter sports have in terms of countries competing for podium spots.
S
Russia is competing under the team name ‘AIN’. They are not banned, just their flag, official “Russia” team name, national anthem etc are banned. Also a bunch of russian athletes are competing for other countries. So ironically your comment is just exposing Russia lol. Once they had to stop doping, their dominance / presence diminished to the point people don’t even realize they’re there.
C
to be fair they are not allowed to compete in other international competitions and it is pretty tough to compete when you haven’t practiced the nerves of a competition
O
True, but these are very much niche sports to the fullest extent. Who has the resources and funds to bobsled, snowboard, luge, ski? Even figure skating has massive barriers to participation. It’s a reason why athlete participation and viewership Summer Olympics are (much?) more popular- accessibility.
I
And there’s also the fact that some Russians are still competing for podiums. Winter sports are often more niche I agree
