November and December sunrises and sunsets illustrations for my daily meteorological fiction project, Reports From Unknown Places About Undescribable Events (Twitter, Instagram).

November 3rd - We report: we remember around the beginning of the summer, when this time of the day the sky was bright, and the sun was still high. We do not exactly miss it; it will come back around. But we take a moment to notice the passing of time, marking a notch in our memory for later.

November 16th - We report from under this sunset: we are having thoughts about how things get old and scratched and broken over time, but the sky does not have a single scratch. It holds all those colours and those big, heavy clouds, and it gets torn up by the wind, and yet - not a scratch.

November 20th - We report, from the early morning, the wind is so strong that we are having a hard time breathing through the gusts. We are staggering down the street, whipped around as though we were a flimsy kite in the breeze. We squint between strands of wild hair to see the sun rise.

November 24th - We report: early morning, a red sun is rising through the clouds. We made our expert stay quiet for a long time so that we could appreciate the view. The water vapour is scattering most of the sun's light, except for the longest wavelengths in the colour spectrum - red.

November 28th - We report: in the face of sunsets, barometers and thermometers and anemometers, astrolabes, hygrometers and wind vanes really cannot do much. How do you measure the impression that colours and lights leave on the spectator of a particularly compelling sunset?

December 6th - We report: the clouds were so dark, and as far as we were concerned, we had seen this day's last drops of sunlight. At this moment, the wind picked up and took a few clouds along, revealing glimpses of a stolen sunset amidst the darkness. Soon enough, the gap closed again.

December 13th - We report a winter sunset as the colours bled in and out of the clouds; the blue of the sky, first, became lighter with hints of yellow. And the clouds, from grey and white to yellow and orange, and then red and pink too. We watched the sunlight lazily wash over the sky.

December 18th - We report a freezing night, and a chilly morning now. Even the sky looks cold, blankets over blankets that barely let the dawn through, small embers coming through gaps between the clouds. We take care of putting on extra layers of socks and jumpers and jackets on our way out.

December 26th - We report: we are making it through the darker days, we are making it through. We remember though, one bright and scorching summer day when the night would not come, for a moment we yearned for the darkest of winter. It is a fleeting thought in front of this burning red sky.

December 30th - We report that we are reaching the end of December, and we look for light wherever we can, still. Above the clouds, maybe, light survives a little bit longer than everywhere else, rich and glowing and it sticks to our skin. We may start parting with this year already.

I have inherited my mother’s temper. Temperature.Temperament. The violence of my moods rendering my body chaotic, my mind confused. I tear myself into rags and rages. The kindling effect. That’s what they call it. One little twig of a mood or a nerve and all of a sudden everything is ablaze. To set fire to one’s house—to free oneself from one’s cage…

Okay, folks, tonight is gonna be looking pretty scary out there. They just updated the torcon to a 9 out of 10 in some areas, including from Little Rock Arkansas to Memphis Tennessee stretching down almost to Greenville along with a second bullseye spot up towards Cedar Rapids stretching to St Louis. What that means is, these areas in particular are highly likely to not only have tornadoes, but possibly strong, long lived ones. And even if you aren't in these specific zones, there's a large area of a 7 out of ten

Credit to the weather channel for this one, got it from their Twitter. That's how serious this one is, y'all. Anyone in the path or anyone you know who is in the path, stay safe, be weather aware, and be ready to make a run to wherever your safe spot is from storms.

Meteorologist Becomes Popular After Using American Sign Language in Her Forecasts

Mikayla Smith uses American Sign Language to describe current weather conditions and forecast upcoming weather events. She began the program while forecasting in Sherman, Texas. She signs everything she says during her broadcasts in ASL.

Mikayla's Interest in American Sign Language Started at a Young Age

Mikayla grew up in Rockwall, Texas, about 30 minutes east of Dallas. She was introduced to American Sign Language as a young girl in Rockwall when her mother studied special education in college and worked as a special education teacher.

Her Study of American Sign Language Made Her Sympathetic to D/HoH People’s Plight She has become aware of the challenges that Deaf and hard of hearing people face in keeping up with breaking news and current weather conditions as a result of her years of learning ASL. That's why she is enthusiastic about using ASL to communicate local weather events to the D/HoH population.

Mikayla Has Become an Internet Star Overnight Mikayla's weather forecast videos have quickly gone viral. She hopes that her weather forecast signing will encourage others to learn sign language.

Mikayla's Reaction to Her Popularity Mikayla is pleased to see the positive impact her signed forecasts have had on the public. She hopes that the new signing movement will spread, thereby assisting special communities that may not normally be able to receive regular news and weather reports.

Mikayla’s Efforts can be Beneficial to the Hearing Impaired While it is simple for the general public to find and share information via their phones, the internet, and social media, many of these platforms lack dependable closed captioning services for people who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Mikayla Responds to the Call to Service Mikayla Smith created Signing Science with Smith to help Deaf and hard-of-hearing people. Her weather updates include tidbits of scientific data, all of which are accessible to both the hearing and Deaf populations alike. 

The Deaf Community Reacts to Mikayla's ASL Weather Forecasts Some have encouraged her to continue learning sign language and become more fluent with the help of a Deaf mentor. She claims to be making huge strides toward greater access to news and weather.

Weather is pushing on eastward, folks in the south need to keep an eye out, but especially in Kentucky and Tennessee today. Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, and the Carolinas as well, though it is lower of severe chances as a whole comparatively, keep an eye out for a surprise severe event. Flooding should be lower of a chance down south.
