📡🦃Happy Thanksgiving📡🦃! Climate data for the Tampa area. Tampa was 79 degrees on Thanksgiving last year (11/28/24) and a cold front pushed through a couple days after. This year, colder air will be arriving later today for a brief cool down.The Normal High/Low this time of year is 77/59.

Thanks to Ted Oberg, Host of “More Context” at Washington D.C. NBC News 4, for this comprehensive #media segment focused on #weather. It was an honor to be interviewed about the people, mission and economic value of the NWS and join Craig and Doug on this topic. Video: youtu.be/sObtik5UtPI?...

An exciting time last night presenting to the South Florida Chapter of the American Meteorological Society and hosted by NBC6 Miami meteorologist Ryan Phillips. 📡🌀

📡🥶 Unusually cold air for November is on the way for much of Florida tonight into Tuesday morning. It is always fascinating to see strong cold fronts push over the Gulf with stable, cold air overspreading the warmer, unstable air above the water.

Innovative work by a team at the University of South Florida: “A year after Helene and Milton, USF app is leading the way in flood tracking technology.” 📡🌀 📸 Video resource: youtu.be/h4fjGbI-ZqI?... Article: www.stpetersburg.usf.edu/news/2025/a-...

West Central Florida Chapter of the American Meteorological Society (AMS) for our Fall meeting and dinner this evening. 📡⚡️🌀🌪️ It was awesome catching up with friends and colleagues and students interested in meteorology and broadening the understanding of the social impacts of weather and climate.

Impressive view of #hurricane #Melissa at landfall on #Jamaica today around 1 PM ET 28 October 2025, as viewed from the Sentinel-2 satellite. This polar orbiting satellite is operated by the European Space Agency with imagery taken from about 488 miles above Earth. 🛰️ 🌀

Meteorology 101: 📡🌀 Impressive how quickly the once symmetric and scientifically awe-inspiring eye wall of Hurricane #Melissa is eroded after landfall over #Jamaica.

A collection of satellite images illustrating the scale and power of the historic hurricane #Melissa as it makes landfall with 185 mph wind on the southwest coast of #Jamaica early this afternoon, Tuesday 28 October 2025.

When the sunrise reveals a category 5 #hurricane #Melissa located 135 miles southwest of #Kingston #Jamaica early this morning. Conditions will continue to severely worsen today with a devastating landfall tomorrow morning on Tuesday.

Rapid intensification continues for Hurricane #Melissa tonight with deadly and historic impacts expected for the people of #Jamaica.

One year ago today on October 9, 2024, Hurricane Milton impacted Florida with storm surge, tornadoes, intense wind, inland flooding and widespread damage. These impacts came a couple of weeks after the extreme impacts from Hurricane Helene. Detailed StoryMap: storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/ca76...

Interesting weather across Florida on this #LaborDay2025 📡⛈️🔄 A weak and nearly stationary front lingering over Florida for the last few days has provided beneficial rain ☔️ across the area.

A rainy day across Florida, as pulses of energy pass over the state within a deep, moist southwest flow across the Gulf and into the western Atlantic. This flow is feeding into the massive circulation of #HurricaneErin, as seen in satellite 🛰️ water vapor imagery and radar data from NWS Tampa. 📡⛈️

Impressive to see the void of vessel traffic tonight in the vicinity of #HurricaneErin - thanks to the pre-planning and coordination between the weather and marine navigation experts. #MarineSafety #HurricaneSeason #science #technology

Thanks to the USAToday for the interview about #HurricaneErin and the important collaboration between weather and ocean experts to keep mariners safe in navigating open oceans to steer clear from the hazards produced by tropical cyclones. Story: www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

📡🌀 🛰️ #HurricaneErin undergoing an eyewall replacement cycle (ERC). Radar animation from around 3:20 AM ET to 8:20 AM ET from the vantage point of National Weather Service San Juan Forecast Office this Sunday morning, 17 August 2025. I placed the ⚫️ at the eyeball center at the start of the loop.

📡🌀After an early morning jog to the west and southwest, #HurricaneErin is now back on a west and northwest track. I placed the line on the northern eyewall around 9:15 AM ET and the loop ends around 1:15 PM ET from the NWS San Juan radar.

Last night / Sunday radar loop from National Weather Service Tampa showed the infamous “bolt from the blue” lightning strike between 10 to 11 PM ET 3 August 2025. Note the strike near Bartow while the storm was located 40 miles. When thunder roars stay indoors. 📡⚡️⛈️ #science #weather #lightning

A gem for any kid back in the 80s watching The Weather Channel and pressing record on the old VCR and “hoping” to be a professional meteorologist one day — watching the legendary special: John Hope on Hurricanes. Nearly 40 years later and it is still informative. Video: youtu.be/VF20UYgI4xg?...

Late afternoon showers and thunderstorms developed across the greater #Tampa Bay region keeping T in mid 90s. Note how the west coast sea breeze (outlined) accelerated inland thanks to outflow boundaries nudging it to the east over Hillsborough-Polk-Manatee-Sarasota-Hardee-Desoto counties. #flwx 📡⚡️

After the high temp at Tampa International Airport (TPA) hit a sweltering 100F today, Sunday 27 July 2025, as measured by the NWS Tampa automated surface observing system (ASOS), fast moving thunderstorms are now rushing in from the northeast to add relief! #science #history #heat
