Nice set of cloud types simultaneously going on today

• Horsetail cirrus and lenticular
• Convective Kelvin-Helmholtz
• Stacked lenticular with KH
• Supercilium

Here is how the Dec-Feb 2025-26 period compared to the 1991-2020 normal period. 🔥🔥🔥

I'm going with horseshoe vortices

My daughter (smart, above average) and I are debating if these are Kelvin Helmholtz, undulatus, or a series of horseshoe vortex clouds

A couple of old pics from the mid-aughts

I wish I could tell you where they were taken, but that's ill-advised nowadays

Full panorama of the 2025 Dickens/Wellfleet LP tornado+supercell!

View is looking ESE up into the mesocyclone. The RFD clear slot is visible in the upper right, and in the distance on the bottom left you can even see a bit of the FFCB. Stationary supercell with deviant westerly tornado. Perfection!

Here’s our short explainer video for conditional intensity outlooks!!

Good morning from Wyoming. Windy but beautiful sunrise.

Denver's had more 60° days this winter than Myrtle Beach. Yes, you read that right.

60-degree days since Dec. 1:

Denver: 40 (average: 12)
Huntsville, AL: 35 (avg: 32)
Nashville: 31 (avg: 24)
Myrtle Beach, SC: 31 (avg: 40)
Charlotte: 26 (avg: 26)

Bonkers.

Timeline cleanse. The best kind 💕

No cussing in the replies, please

Kelvin Helmholtz

Good morning to me

Incredible. Another one for the "these idiots always take every word literally" files. They think "climate prediction" means "climate change forecasts".

ASOS gamblers continue the daily onslaught of emails my way, so lets add some gas to the fire. I have created this guy, which generates an audit trail on the daily high and low found in the CLI mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/nws/cli-audit/

Feedback/bugs, all are welcome except lawsuits.

Compare and contrast

A mild high wind warning versus a marginal risk. Makes you think

Submission 2.0

Starting on Monday, March 2nd, we will be moving over to a newer, better submission system for your chases. You will be able to select locations based on an interactive map and select a preset list of tags to indicate what you saw on your chase.

One of the dudes told me that he has had luck getting offices to issue updated CLIs when the invalid 1 minute data shows a variance. While I have the data to verify this, do I want to? oye...

Lol.

My favorite part of the "prediction markets" is that we've had a growing number of people get aggressive with our forecasts being slightly off, or calling us to try and influence a temp reading, and it is usually obvious they are betting on some bullshit on these sites.

Meh, not chase quality
