Some video out my back door on the east side of Tucson earlier. Deluge with wild wind. Was a bit worried about my ROR observatory. Hurricane hooks seem to work well. #azwx #monsoon2026 #elnino

First haboob of the year for far southeast Arizona and Southwest New Mexico. Peak gust of 72 miles an hour near Lordsburg New Mexico. #azwx #nmwx

I want to propose a toast to Sergey Brin, who's unintentionally making the case for a billionaire tax better than anyone else could.

Amazing things are happening. (I think many many people on here reposted Norm's thread about this, including myself.) (So many people have done amazing things in recent months, proud as hell of everyone.)

The new March record 500 mb height for San Diego of 596 DM has exceeded the pre-2026 record by a whopping 60 DM, and will probably be above that pre-2026 record for at least 4 to 5 continuous days. And the earliest in the year that 596 DM was previously observed was June 5th, about 2.5 months later.

For your consideration: Crowd funding for "The Sky is the Limit (NCAR--A documentary about a crown jewel of American science, the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and the peril it faces."

Aurora visible from far south eastern Arizona tonight. #Aurora

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Major dust storm just occurred in far south eastern Arizona. Taken from Paradise, Arizona #azwx

Additionally, some of NOAA's very high resolution convective-resolving models (designed specifically for this purpose) were the ones that best predicted this incipient disaster. Yet these very same models are on the chopping block this year with the proposed NOAA budget.

Predicting such storms is at the cutting edge of science right now, and the stakes are rising in a warming world in which they are intensifying. Yet this is precisely the kind of research that NOAA/NSF have funded in the U.S. over decades that is at imminent risk of disappearing.

Due to staffing issues, the Tucson NWS is no longer sending up a 12Z sounding. This sounding is a meteorologist's most important short-term monsoon forecasting tools. This data is also critical for the accurate weather modeling of monsoon thunderstorms. #azwx @timsteller.bsky.social

The Trump administration is kidnapping and trying to deport American citizens who look “foreign.” No warrant. No due process. No rights. Americans voted for cheaper eggs, not for a night of broken glass. #MAGAKidnappers

Video of landspout “tornado”. Less of a tornado more of a dust devil. #azwx #nmwx. South of I 10 along the New Mexico Arizona border.

Landspout. I hesitate to call a tornado! South of I 10 near the New Mexico Arizona border. #azwx #nmwx

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

Fire season in the SW will be BAD, especially AZ/NM. #azwx #nmwx

The now-confirmed and rumored additional cuts to come at NOAA/NWS are spectacularly short-sighted, and ultimately will deal a major self-inflicted wound to the public safety of Americans and the resiliency of the American economy to weather and climate-related disasters. 11/11

Nebulosity near the star Atik in Perseus. Besides the H II nebula, there is also a lot of obscuring dust. The image is mainly LRGB using a Esprit refractor. #astrophotography

This is my first attempt at the Squid and the Bat. The image uses mostly HII and OIII. However, the OIII data (the Squid part) was insufficient, and I'll have to get more next year. It is VERY dim. #astrophotography

Rosette Nebula, NGC 2244. This image is a blend of LRGB and H II and O III. Taken with an Esprit 100 with a .75 Riccardi focal reducer. #astrophotography

Column: Tucson legend Rep. Raul Grijalva has missed 97 percent of the votes since February 2024. There's no timeline for him to return to office. In a 218-215 House, with Trump in office, and a six-month process to replace a House member, he must consider stepping down. tucson.com/news/local/s...

Amazing structure in mountain wave clouds over Silver Peak Chiricahua mountains. #azwx

From a net human impact perspective, the latest guidance for future TC Sara are concerning. Honduras has a rough history w/ hurricanes & the latest GFS shows a 5-day rainfall total of 1242 mm, or 48 inches, over parts of its north coast. This would have catastrophic consequences.
