If the compression wasn't so bad on here, I'd honestly post on here more than I do (which is almost never)

I don't know what to post on here, so here's a Radar Loop of the supercell that produced that rather intense EF3 near Hiwannee, Mississippi back on February 12th

Dam. Twitter is down.

Hey.

Another year of Spotify Wrapped, another year of Taylor being my #1 artist.

6 years ago today, a significant tornado outbreak occured in Illinois, highlighted by two cyclic, tornadic supercells. The evolution of these supercells is linked below

You're welcome!

Weather or something I don't know.

Generally as expected, the polar vortex is forecast to be near record strong going into the latter part of this month into Dec

This might be one of those intriguing cases where a strong polar vortex actually helps keep North America cold by anchoring the +TNH/-EPO pattern in place later this winter

13 years ago today, a long-tracked, violent, and photogenic EF4 tornado occurred in southwestern Oklahoma, impacting areas near Tipton.

I did not think the compression would be that bad, geez. Anyways, they're available on my channel:

Here's a radar loop of the evolution of a tornadic supercell that produced a long-tracked, intense EF3 tornado that impacted areas near Comanche, Oklahoma during the early morning hours of November 3rd. #wxtwitter

I'm becoming more concerned that a significant tornado threat could develop in eastern KS and northeast OK near or after dark tomorrrow. Very strong low level shear will be in place ahead of an unussualy warm and moist air mass for October. Supercells could continue overnight with tornadoes.

19 years ago today, Hurricane Wilma struck Florida after a long Caribbean trek.

This loop of recon-derived flight wind speed shows its eyewall replacement cycle & transformation from a tiny but extremely powerful hurricane to a very large and fast moving storm:

It has been a very quiet month around here. It's been great, but at the same time, I want some thunderstorms again pleasee.

if you see this, post a weather

Hey folks! About me:

I'm a severe wx research scientist in Norman, OK. I'm an advocate for new ideas and research into the forecasting of tornadoes and large hail. I love interacting with NWS, reararchers, broadcasters, students, and chasers alike. Just be prepared for a pretty picture or two ;)

Hey y'all! I've seen a bunch of people on #wxtwitter move over to Bluesky, so I've decided to join for myself!
