@climatologist49.bsky.social time for some dead whale DSS down in Oregon!
Yep. Think that that western ak range/Susitna valley gradient weakened…mostly under the influence of the Mat Valley gradient now which is more conducive to west anchorage/north anchorage and less for east anchorage.
2 surface gradients combining…the one out of the Mat Valley and one across the Western Alaska Range into the Susitna Valley to accelerate the north winds…Elmemdorf had a 73 mph gust today
Imagine if they’d had sandwiches. 🥪
Posting for posterity.
Sports: where it's entirely appropriate for the official to say "at some point we might do something but we aren't going to be specific about it"
Must have gotten pissed with worker’s visas!
Just like @climatologist49.bsky.social loves all the southerly flow! Lol
Yes! Awesome!!
We made calls to the airport tower yesterday and they didn’t see anything.
Hopefully you are not just coming off mids too…that sucks.
Yes! I really want the NWS to start posting here instead of X for weather information!
That’s my Blizzard Watch I issued earlier this evening!
Lots of weather going on in today's satellite view:
- Formerly major Hurricane Rafael rapidly weakening
- Major early season snowstorm in Colorado
- Multiple tropical disturbances in the Atlantic
- Large fire in northern NJ with a smoke plume extending into NYC
Satellite loop of Hurricane Oscar's unexpected rapid intensification today, with rotating hot towers visible around its tiny eye:
Give my good friend Dan a follow.
High temperatures in and around Alaska on Friday. Well below normal across the northern and eastern Interior and the southern Yukon Territory. Big story: heavy, and near sea level, early season snow from the southern Yukon into northern Southeast Alaska. #akwx #weather
But no Elon Musk here! Lol!
