OTD in 2024, a high-intensity wildfire raced through Jasper National Park. The fire generated at least four tornadic vortices all of which were likely significant. This was, in my opinion, one of the more impressive fire tornadic events on record. #abstorm #abfire

The first-known #pyroCb in South Korea happened this morning (UTC) on a large fire near Uiseong. PyroCb are wildfire driven thunderstorms that can act like chimneys and transport smoke into the upper troposphere/lower stratosphere. H/T to the pyroCb community/email thread for catching this!

Catastrophic fire situation in South Korea today. This fire made a ~50 km run and also produced the first ever pyrocumulonimbus in Korean history!

Is anyone aware of any Canadian weather datasets/archives with hourly pressure/wind/temperature records available in October 1918? #wxsky #skywx #canada

Models are showing potential for a fire weather outbreak in west Texas on Tuesday. Widespread 30-35 mph winds, dry fuels and low RH will create conditions favorable for rapid fire spread. #txwx #txfire

Do you have any confirmations of NWS mets being fired?

Today marks 74 years since one of the most interesting and impactful weather events in North American history slammed the Northeast US. Extreme coastal wind and an immense interior blizzard accompanied by frigid temperatures killed nearly 400 people.

The NYC metro and almost all of CT and RI are experiencing widespread elevated to near-critical fire weather conditions. These conditions are some of the worst of the year so far for New England. #wxsky #ctwx #riwx #nywx #njwx

This seems like a helpful tool for forecasting Santa Ana Winds.

Nov 10: 1,700+ structures now damaged or destroyed in #California from wildfires in 2024. Highest since 2021 but far lower than historic years in 2018, 2017, or 2020.

FYI: Seasonal acres burned does not necessarily correlate to more damage. Fire weather conditions are a more accurate climate link.

This year currently ranks #7 in YTD accumulated fire radiative power in the CONUS. #wxsky #wildfires

Honestly Chris the best option here would be to leave social media for a long time as that video has spread far and wide. People probably won’t forget it or forgive.

The #MountainFire is blowing up and is an extremely dangerous fire! #cawx

Wildfire people here, does anyone have a chart that shows the seasonal average of grassland curing degree for the Great Plains?

Does anyone have an alternative source for pre-1950 Weather Bureau surface maps as the NOAA library source isn't working? #wxsky

4 years ago on this day, the East Troublesome Fire made a 37 km run overnight to the Continental Divide. This is likely the single most extreme fire event recorded in Colorado in modern times. #cowx

Quite a few stations in Southern California experiencing near critical/critical fire weather conditions.

Thanks!

Does anyone have a list or starter pack of FireWx/wildfire people to follow?

Smoke is getting thicker at the Hwy 92 camera south of David City. The fire is close. Hopefully it doesn't spot across the highway. #wxsky

There is this list for sci comm bsky.app/profile/ship...

Fire warning for David City, Nebraska. Evacuate if told to leave. Winds are gusting above 40mph. Praying they can get it out before it jumps the highway.
