Just Another Weather Nerd

Those are some superb owls.

👀🎉🎉 to the official @nws.noaa.gov account using two GSL products for this visualization: DESI and our experimental MPAS forecasts for future RRFSes

As a Dune fan (all the books!) this is both amusing, sad and deep.

Don’t need dual-pol/CC to tell us if these returns are meteorological or not. The T/Td spreads say enough. Can confirm that this is a fire NW of Lake Okeechobee via visible satellite.

PyBurgers v2.0 | Jeremy A. Gibbs Announcing PyBurgers v2.0 I’m excited to announce the release of PyBurgers v2.0. PyBurgers implements direct numerical simulation (DNS) and large-eddy simulation (LES) for studying Burgers turbulence,...

I finished my new version of PyBurgers—a high-performance solver for the 1D stochastic Burgers equation with DNS and LES capabilities. It's a nice playground for students and educators to learn about numerical methods, test and prototype SGS models, and study turbulence statistics. 🧪🌊

ok.. maybe there IS something that can unite us!

Very interesting modality here. Driven by a La-Nina year?

Perfect example of slight clues that give away AI

This is such a bad idea.

Mental health in the Atmospheric Sciences at @ametsoc.org . Great session so far. One of my favorite tidbits so far, and I am paraphrasing: "In case you have not noticed, it does not matter where you are, its TOUGH in the water weather enterprise right now..." Truth.

I give you a Monday night cleanse...

If you parent a college student, could you pretty please with sugar on top ask them to stop using ChatGPT to email their professors? These emails are driving us slowly bananas.

Happening in about an hour.

Can't be there, but @zombietrev5k.bsky.social is running the show, and has offered to give some terrible takes in my honor

@nws.noaa.gov Director Ken Graham presented on NOAA’s modeling grand challenge at #AMS2026 this morning. He announced that the NWS is moving to MPAS as its modeling dynamical core, with his #1 moonshot goal being a global, fully coupled 3-km Earth prediction system using MPAS.

We've got a sizable Purdue EAPS cohort here at #AMS2026. Threaded below are this week's presentations by me and students who've worked in my lab (WRRL): 🧵⬇️

A glass storefront reflects a bundled-up person standing beside a long red cargo bicycle on a snowy Minneapolis sidewalk. The rider wears a helmet, winter jacket, and gloves, checking a phone, with frost and snow visible on the ground and street behind them. An app overlay shows “TEMP −30°C,” the date (Fri, Jan 23), location Minneapolis, and ride stats: 2.73 miles, 20 minutes, and 59 feet of elevation gain, with a small route squiggle on the right.

It’s cold. Like, really cold.
Still biked.

University partners around the country are launching weather balloons today as part of CUSP-ARR in support of AR-RECON and other field campaigns. Data are being ingested into the operational models for improved predictions!

You should be preparing now for a significant winter storm to impact you with a good chance of 6-12 inches of snow or significant ice, at times near white-out conditions, impassable roads, and life-threatening cold. ticker.mesonet.org #okwx #okmesonet

Continuing to monitor potential for ice in the Houston area. For the Houston area, this will likely be an inconvenient but most likely manageable event. If you have travel plans Sat night or Sunday (looking at #AMS2026 folks), there will likely be challenges.

Code coming soon but it worked!

Thank you!

Headline: "Scientists discover emperor penguin colony in Antarctica using satellite images"

Yesterday it was cows using tools, today its penguins using satellite imagery.

For other reports the CSV files are here: www.spc.noaa.gov/climo/reports/ I am wondering if there is a corresponding archive of winter reports #WxBluesky

Hey Bluesky Hivemind! Anyone written code to automatically fetch freezing rain or icing reports? ChatGPT got me some way but winter reports are not with the "other" SPC reports. Any idea where this tool pulls data from: www.spc.noaa.gov/exper/report...

Good news: I am less likely to catch or spread the @ametsoc.org Annual meeting bug. Bad news: I got my getting sick in early... Blerg!

Friday morning temperature anomalies from the GFS. While far from a record this airmass will be proper cold for #Chicago

Fascinating radar loop. Two distinct atmospheric stability states. North is snowing through a stable layer and south is clearly convective.

When is it no longer ‘cooler by the lake’? Lake Michigan holds a lot of weather power. It can be cooler, warmer or snowier than the rest of the city.

Great work @climasillinois.bsky.social @prairieresearch.bsky.social 's @trentford.bsky.social! Nice #scicoms on @wbez.org www.wbez.org/curious-city...
