Hello everyone. My X account is still not working so I am moving over to Facebook (facebook.com/warrenfaidley) for all of my posts, including spotter reports. Despite multiple attempts to fix this issue, there has been no response from X for assistance. @nikitabier and @Support

Another 5% / 2% tornado outlook today for portions of southern and southeastern #Arizona. The most threatening weather in Arizona today (10/22) is forecast for eastern portions of the state, including Greenlee and Apache counties, later this afternoon. Topography and road networks in this region are not conducive to productive storm documentation, so today will be a no-go for me. 🤠. #azwx

Intense storm moving over the Phoenix metro area is likely producing damaging hail. #azwx #Phoenix #weather

Weather Update: The highest probabilities for tornadic thunderstorms today are within the areas outlined by the Storm Prediction Center (SPC). I've also attached a forecast map showing potential storm-relative helicity tracks across Arizona. Most of this activity is forecast to occur across north-central and northern Arizona. This is only a forecast to suggest where the rotating storms may form, not a map of where tornadoes will occur. My rule when pursuing severe weather on days like this is to treat any severe-thunderstorm-warned storm as having the potential to produce dangerous weather, including large hail, damaging winds, and possibly a brief tornado. 🤠 #azwx #tucson #phoenix

I'll be issuing my Arizona chase forecast later this morning. The limiting factor for a more significant tornado threat is the lack of low-level wind shear (near the ground), although outflow boundaries from earlier storms and local topography could provide additional shear. Beyond the tornado threat, large hail (possibly tennis ball-sized), damaging winds exceeding 70 mph, and flash flooding may pose the greater overall threats. More soon. #azwx #tucson #phoenix #tornado #weather #news

BREAKING.... SPC ISSUES A RARE 5% TORNADO AND ENHANCED RISK FOR ARIZONA TOMORROW 10-20-26. There is also a risk for severe weather and tornadoes on Thursday, possibly concentrated more over SE Arizona. I'll be chasing both days and update tomorrow am with a more detailed forecast. #azwx #tucson #phoenix #monsoon

Yes to everyone... my posts are going out OK except for the ones that X squash as part of their competitive algorithms. This has now happened to me at least five times, when my follower count gets near the monetization threshold. I loose 500 to 1,000(+) followers and my Home / Following / Recent and Popular categories points to Welcome to X as seen in the attached image. In other words, it's like I have zero followers or opened a new account. I'm not using any app or extension that causes this and it occurs on all platforms (iPhone, desktop, iPad, etc) and on all browsers I've tested. It's originating from X. This is especially destructive when I am sending out spotter reports, as I cannot interact (see) other responses or interactions. If I was a paranoid type individual, I would say that someone at #X or @Support has it out for me, especially by keeping my account below 10k followers since 2009. Maybe Elon was once stuck in chaser convergence and blames me? 🤣 I've had three separate AI analysis checks done on my account and they all found some type of restrictions placed on my posts and inconsistencies with follower counts over the last 10 years, especially given I don't post political or other comments that can drop hundreds of followers at a time.

Just a heads-up. I may be closing this account and reopening another. X is no longer functioning on any of my devices, on any browser. I see no new posts, replies, etc. @support is worthless. This is a known bug, with no apparent fix and after 6 mos. this is ridiculous.

Will be watching this coming Wednesday for a potential tornado chase day in Arizona. Don't see a SPC day three marginal risk too often in AZ. More details when the forecast advances, but 50 kt deep level shear will make for an interesting forecast. Stay tuned. #azwx 🌪️

SPC just added a 2% tornado risk tomorrow and a slight risk of SVR.

Problem with X followers. Any of you social media experts know why my X account no longer shows my followers posts? This applies to "popular" or "recent." All I get is a Welcome to X response. This bug occurs on all devices and on all browsers. I don't have any restrictions. Thanks.

Ordered the new jet assisted #Tessla today. This will end the problems of congested storm chasing roads. I apologize in advance if I land on top of your vehicle. (AI image). #stormchasing #RoadsterRocket
