A photo of a school bus picked up and smashed onto the lower roof of a brick High School.

Last night a tornado hit a trailer park just miles from where I used to live. In Talladega, a bus was thrown into the roof of a high school. Several schools in the path would have been out on the roads at Prom if not for the warnings of the National weather service last night. Thank NWS.

Eldorado, OK tornado

I spent forever editing this photo of the Eldorado, OK, tornado tonight. I enjoy how this image turned out, as originally, it was difficult to even see the tornado on the unedited image. #wxsky #tornado

Severe thunderstorms are expected Wednesday across the Southern Plains, Ozarks, and Lower Missouri Valley. A cold front and dryline, with strong instability and wind shear, will support supercells, producing large hail and damaging winds.

Stay Weather Aware!

Watching the next few days for Severe Weather. The 30th is the day I am most concerned about, more information on this will be posted this afternoon

Mayfield, KY EF-4 12/10/2021

Tuscaloosa, AL EF-4 4/27/2011

Moore, OK EF-5 5/20/2013

These have to be three of the most disturbing radar images I have ever seen! What radar images do you find disturbing?

Bluesky, meet the night sky.

Harry Weinman (SPC): Many more tornadoes produce TDSs in the Southeast than on the Plains owing to land use - forests in the SE and grasslands on the Plains. #31SLS

A drone view of a double rainbow over the crater of SP crater (a cinder cone volcano) at sunset.

After fighting some rain and significant winds on the hike up to the rim, I was blessed with a sunset double rainbow over SP Crater - a nearly perfectly cinder cone in the San Francisco volcanic field of northern Arizona.

Oh hello there #94L

Bit of an unusual heavy rain event to set up across NE New Mexico this weekend. Some places could see as much rain in two days as they average over the next 5-8 months!

Mosquero, NM
Forecast: 5-8"
Avg rain Oct-May: 6.38"

Tucumcari, NM
Forecast: 3-5"
Avg rain Oct-Mar: 3.98"

This week I was able to use Sentinel-2 imagery in order to highlight the impact Helene had on the Appalachians. Comparing images from this time last year to now clearly shows the dramatic changes in the landscape after hundreds of landslides.

If you see this, post a weather.

The Severe Weather Outlook for Friday, October 18, 2024, highlights potential weather risks across New Mexico. A Marginal Risk (dark green) is identified for parts of the state, including Albuquerque, Gallup, Roswell, and Tucumcari, indicating the possibility of isolated severe storms. The remainder of the region is under a general thunderstorm risk (light green), suggesting non-severe thunderstorms may occur. The forecast, issued by the NOAA Storm Prediction Center, remains valid until October 19, 2024, at 7:00 AM CDT. Residents in the affected areas should stay weather-aware, as even marginal risk zones can experience hazards like strong winds, small hail, or localized downpours.

The Severe Weather Outlook for Saturday, October 19, 2024, indicates a Marginal Risk (dark green) for severe storms across central and southeastern New Mexico, including areas such as Albuquerque, Roswell, Alamogordo, and Tucumcari.

This forecast, issued by the NOAA Storm Prediction Center, is valid until October 20, 2024, at 7:00 AM CDT. While severe weather is not widespread, residents within the marginal risk areas should remain alert for possible isolated hazards like strong winds, hail, or localized heavy rainfall.

Today (Oct 18) & tomorrow (Oct 19) there are Marginal Risks of severe weather for portions of the four-corners region, While severe weather will remain isolated, conditions are favorable for isolated tornadoes, damaging winds and hail. #WXsky

Tonight with the Supermoon in Chicago.

My favorite ever weather pics!! What are some of y’all’s? #WxSky

So is the "Other Place" officially dead?

Today was a big inflow day for weather BlueSky #WxSky

I've made a starter pack with a bunch of folks you probably should follow if you love weather and also want to be kept up to date on real time weather. Exactly what the Skyline needed.

More Mamattus to bless your timeline 😂

Hi Bluesky, it’s been a while. Here’s a bit of what I’ve been up to

A photo of myself writing "Hi! :)" on a lightboard.

A photo of a comet just after sunset with a rocky, foggy waterfall among tree-covered hills in the foreground.

A supercell thunderstorm with pancake-stacked structure and lightning protruding out from the clouds in a few directions. A clear, starry sky sits to the left.

A gibbous Moon sits directly above an erupting volcano, with lava fountaining in all directions and a lava pool sitting out front.

With all the new faces here, I figured I'd also say hi and reintroduce myself. I am a professor of physics, astronomy and earth science, among other things, but most of what you'll get from me are photos of our immensely beautiful planet. Sharing that beauty is my passion; we're so lucky to be here.

1-week ago, myself and some good friends traveled up to south-central Iowa to experience and photograph the highly anticipated G4 solar storm. Here are 4 of my favorite photos from that evening.

Did you capture the Aurora on Oct 10/11? Let me see your photos!

What’s up everyone!

Welcome to all the new folks! Things that I enjoy…

My top shot of the year so far! What's yours?
