Rinse and Repeat

South Florida light winds have been a challenge in timing the rain and storm in recent days. However, you can bet on seeing more storms developing inland with the daytime heat. The sea breezes and outflows (energy from storms) will be the focus for the wet weather from time to time. Keep in mind some of the storms could be stationary and move erratically due to the light winds, which could lead to standing water issues.

Wagner forces are trying to ‘destabilize’ NATO, Polish PM says

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:26:27 GMT

Russia’s Wagner Group might carry out “sabotage actions” and their threat should not be underestimated, said Poland’s Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki on Thursday, warning that the mercenary group’s provocations are an attempt to destabilize NATO.Morawiecki and Lithuania’s President Gitanas Nausėda met at the Suwałki Gap to discuss the threat posed by the Wagner forces, some of whom have relocated to Belarus following the aborted mutiny in June against the Kremlin.“Our borders have been stopping various hybrid attacks for years,” Morawiecki said. “Russia and Belarus are increasing their numerous provocations and intrigues in order to destabilize the border of NATO’s eastern flank.”Nausėda echoed the sentiment, saying the presence of Wagner mercenaries in Belarus is a security risk for Lithuania, Poland and other NATO allies.“We stay vigilant and prepared for any possible scenario,” Nausėda wrote on social media. Morawiecki said that the number of Wagner mercen...

LONDON — Fancy losing sleep tonight? Just read the U.K. government’s list of all the massive threats it believes are currently facing the U.K.The U.K. government’s National Risk Register, unveiled Thursday by Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden, sets out key vulnerabilities and threats to the country. And it reveals previously classified information about the U.K. government’s thinking in a bid to encourage firms to up their mitigation strategies. The register details a total of 89 risks that meet the threshold of potentially having a “substantial impact on the U.K.’s safety, security and/or critical systems at a national level.”The threat posed to European gas supplies by Russia since its invasion of Ukraine is listed in the register for the first time. The cheery document states that the “reasonable worst case scenario assumes that war, political upheaval or a more benign cause would significantly disrupt global oil supply, resulting in mu...

UK set to delay post-Brexit border food checks amid inflation worries

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:26:27 GMT

LONDON — The U.K. is set to once again delay the implementation of post-Brexit border checks for EU imports amid concerns the new regime will further stoke inflation.Britain was planning to roll out the first stage of the new border model from October, with further stages implemented throughout 2024 that would see more checks on food and animal products entering the country.The Financial Times first reported the fresh delay, the fifth time these post-Brexit border checks have been put off, due to the potential inflationary effect of the new red tape.A senior government official refused to deny the story on Thursday morning on three occasions, but downplayed the effect that inflationary pressures have had on the decision-making process.The official told POLITICO that “we’ve been reflecting on the feedback we’ve had from stakeholders” and that “we’re conscious that businesses need time to prepare for checks to be introduced.”A second official, working for the Foreign Office...

Offshore Wind Project Plans Mid-October Power Delivery

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:26:27 GMT

The first clean wind power generated by the Vineyard Wind 1 project is expected to flow onto the regional grid by mid-October and the first-in-the-nation offshore wind project should be fully operational by this time next year, project officials said Wednesday during a boat tour of the construction.Project developers have maintained for years that the $4 billion project they are building about 15 miles south of Martha’s Vineyard would start to generate cleaner energy by the end of 2023, but they told a group of state lawmakers, clean energy advocates, organized labor representatives and others Wednesday that the target is now mid-October, or just over two months from now.At first, the project will send power generated by a string of six turbines onto the grid, totaling about 78 megawatts, with plans to ramp the project up to between 200 and 300 MW by the end of the year and full commercial operations of 806 MW expected by mid-2024, according to Sy Oytan, Avangrid’s chief...

Barr obliterates Trump’s defense: ‘He knew well that he had lost the election’

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:26:27 GMT

(CNN) — Former Attorney General Bill Barr on Wednesday undermined a key pillar of his old boss’s defense in the special counsel’s probe into 2020 election interference, telling CNN’s Kaitlan Collins that Donald Trump “knew well he lost the election.”A central premise of the special counsel’s case is that Trump knew the election claims he was making were false after being told by several close aides that he had lost the election. Trump’s lawyers have argued that his statements were protected under the First Amendment, a position that Barr, in his first interview since Trump’s third indictment, said was not a valid argument.“As the indictment says, they are not attacking his First Amendment right. He can say whatever he wants, he can even lie. He can even tell people that the election was stolen when he knew better,” Barr said on “The Source.” “But that does not protect you from entering into a conspiracy.”He added: “At first I wasn’t sure, but I have come to belie...

DETROIT (AP) — Hyundai and Kia are telling the owners of nearly 92,000 vehicles in the U.S. to park them outside because an electronic controller in an oil pump can overheat and cause fires.The affiliated Korean automakers are recalling the vehicles and also are telling owners to park them away from structures until repairs are made.The recalls cover certain 2023 and 2024 Hyundai Palisades, as well some 2023 Tucson, Sonata, Elantra and Kona vehicles. Affected Kias include the 2023 Soul and Sportage as well as some 2023 and 2024 Seltos vehicles.The companies say in documents posted Thursday by U.S. safety regulators that a capacitor on a circuit board in the oil pump assembly for the transmission may have been damaged by the supplier during manufacturing. That can cause a short-circuit and increase the risk of a fire.Kia says it has six reports of melting components but no fires or injuries. Hyundai says it has confirmed four “thermal incidents” and no injuries.Dealers...
