It’s always better when there are hydrometeors floating around

Crazy day for fires up in Ontario

Officially issuing a record watch for here in SLC for the all time max temp 😅

FWIW, a bunch of the western sites have been launching at 18 and 00 because of staffing issues for the 12 launch (at least that’s the rumor I heard)

Typhoon Bavi today near Guam

🥞 short stack this morning

Welp, yesterday’s monsoon push didn’t last long, back to smokey skies. Here is the web cam from the U of U, looking south. You can see the iron fire smoke blow in with these 20 mph winds

This is what 650 hPa LCLs look like 😅

Oh moist convection, how I have missed thee ⛈️

Getting ash at my house in SLC this am. Wildfire season is here

June gloom in full force on the west coast this am. The whole coast has low level clouds ☁️

View of the Bonneville fire near Salt Lake City. A very dry winter and spring has made for quite a bit of dry fuel

My cactus is enjoying the near 100 degree days here in SLC

Stratocu can be fun too

Last week I was in Norman for the CADRE workshop on Data Assimilation. Always enjoy visiting one of the major weather hubs in the country. Side note, I still love how the Twisters PAR antenna lights up 😂

Most headlines say “AI weather prediction is better than physics based”. While some metrics support those conclusions, please watch this video. There is A LOT of science yet to be done 👨‍🔬

Southern Utah, definitely recommend

Strong halo today around the Salt Lake valley

36 hours of the Guam NEXRAD data as SuperTyphoon #Sinlaku approached the Northern Mariana Islands

Today’s weather wall find 🚢 ✈️

Fun fact, this image was taken ~3x FARTHER than GOES. For some reference for those of us who constantly stare at earth from geostationary orbit (*caveat here, tried my best to find out the distance this shot was taken from and the range is 80,000 km to 112,000 km)

Some melting shots of snow here in SLC. Gotta love 33 degree snow…

Me, and all my plants, are very excited for a more 'normal' spring weather pattern over the next two days. Before this event, I have only measured ~2" of precip, so this 1-2" event is very welcome and would put us closer to climatology (4.5")

Seems about right these days 🤖

Vibe coded up a quick visual showing the data to the weather enterprise and using echotops to show storm locations. I hope NWS'ers still have access to the real time data to keep warnings flowing

Confirmed, but that seems not ideal to have no backup data source going out for the weather enterprise users

How does that happen 🤔 no radar data (88D or TDWR) in central Ohio during severe weather event

Likely some severe storms at sunset over in eastern India. Classic above anvil cirrus plume indicating severe convection

All 0.5 degree scans from the EF-5 tornado this past summer that threw a train of grain cars (www.reddit.com/r/tornado/co...). Not the evolution I expected. The EF-5 tornado occurred near the end of this loop, when the two supercells rotate cyclonically before getting run over #fujiwharaeffect
