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!

Vendor tables will be free at this year’s NESC! Follow the directions below to get started!

Students, faculty, and alumni in the Atmospheric Sciences Program attended the 106th American Meteorological Society Meeting in Houston, TX last month. Students presented posters showcasing summer internships and networked with professionals in the field. #AMS2026 #networking 🌡️⛈️🌪️🌈

The science is clear. The stakes are real. AGU condemns the repeal of the EPA Endangerment Finding — a decision that rejects the overwhelming evidence and undermines climate accountability. We will continue to defend science and advocate for evidence-based policy. buff.ly/wX1BQ2t

AMS is deeply concerned by the repeal of EPA’s 2009 Endangerment Finding, which concluded greenhouse gas emissions harm health and well-being. The science remains clear: human-caused climate change is already causing harmful impacts. Read the full statement: https://bit.ly/4tBwz9w

New AMS Statement: Dismantling NSF’s National Center for Atmospheric Research would weaken U.S. leadership in weather, water, and climate science, putting public safety at risk. For more than 60 years, NSF NCAR has improved forecasts and early warnings that save lives. More: https://bit.ly/4q6eChn

We had a superb group of Lyndon ATM alumni talk to our seminar class about graduate school last month! 🌪️❄️🌾🌎

Congratulations to Stefan Brown for winning the Local Forecast Contest in Weather Analysis and Instrumentation this semester! And congratulations to Sam Recinos and DJ Fisher for finishing in a second-place tie! ☁️☀️💨🌡️💧❄️

Congratulations to our Capstone students for successfully presenting their project proposals today! Students selected some great topics this year. #research 🌪️🌀💨⛈️❄️

Last month, students in Weather Analysis and Instrumentation launched a weather balloon, tracked the Vaisala radiosonde data, and forecasted when the balloon would burst. #sounding #weatherballoon

We are happy to announce some updates for the Northeastern Storm Conference with you all! Registration for the 51st NESC will open on January 5th, 2026. Abstract submissions for the conference are open now! The link to sign up is below. Please reach out with any questions you may have.

We had another amazing group of meteorologists talk to our seminar class about air quality forecasts and air pollution research last month! 🌎🌳😷 @victorialangwx.bsky.social @lilliefarrell.bsky.social

Earlier this month, students and faculty attended the Vermont Energy Climate Action Network (VECAN) summit in Fairlee, VT. Dr. Westgate shared how our ATM program discusses climate change with students. He also lead a workshop on community engagement, outreach, and effective communication. 🌎🏡📊

Last weekend we attended the @osscams Great Lakes Atmospheric Science Symposium (G.L.A.S.S.). It was a great way to present current work, network with professionals, and support our fellow Student Chapters of the AMS!

We had an excellent group of Lyndon ATM alumni talk to our seminar class about the private sector last month! 🗃️📊🌪️ @accuweather.com @robvk.bsky.social

Last month, retired NASA scientist, Dr. Dave Meyer, gave an in-person seminar about atmospheric remote sensing where he discussed NASA science missions and satellite instrumentation. 📡🛰️⭐️

We saw a beautiful double rainbow on campus today! 🌦️🌈 #nofilter

Before Fall Break, students in Weather Analysis and Instrumentation took a field trip to the USGS Sleepers River Research Watershed to learn about hydrologic instruments, including snow tubes. They also got to see some beautiful fall foliage in the Northeast Kingdom!💧❄️🌲🍁

Congratulations to the @lyndonamsnwa.bsky.social for making the 2025 AMS Chapter of the Year Honor Roll! 👏🎉

Last month, we had a wonderful group of Lyndon ATM alumni discuss underrepresented groups in STEM fields with our seminar class. ⛈️🌀❤️

Over the weekend, we had a combined ATM All-Department meeting and AMS Fall BBQ on President’s Hill. Students and faculty had fun playing kan jam and bocce ball while enjoying the beautiful fall foliage! #fallfoliage #lawngames 🍔🌭🍁

Students got to enjoy the first day of fall yesterday with some outdoor ATM classes before the much-needed rain arrived! 🍁 #weatherdeck #happyfall

We had a fantastic group of Lyndon ATM alumni visit campus and discuss the broadcast sector with our seminar class earlier this week! 🌤️💨🎥 @wcax.com

We had a great group of Lyndon ATM alumni talk to our seminar class about the National Weather Service last week! 🌤️💨

Day 7: We had one last team building activity before our closing ceremony. For the poster symposium, GIV students presented posters to friends and family, showcasing what they learned at our week-long institute. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this amazing summer experience! #stayintouch

Day 6: GIV students applied what they learned throughout the week to a forecast simulation. They also had fun with minute to win it games, and learned strategies for reading scientific research articles. #science #forecasting #research

Day 5: For instrumentation day, GIV students got to launch both a radiosonde and windsond weather balloon. They also got to learn about instrumentation in the Antarctic from Dr. Matthew Lazzara - Principal Investigator of the Antarctic Weather Station Program. #instrumentation #balloon #antarctic

For #ThrowbackThursday, we want to highlight members of @climateconsensus.bsky.social at VTSU Lyndon who participated in the Shelburne 5K race this past spring. Participating in this event has become an annual tradition for us to raise awareness about climate change. 🏃‍♀️👟🏅🌎 #race #5K #climateaction

Day 4: This was our big field trip day to Burlington! GIV students got to see the operations area at NWS Burlington and watch a live broadcast @wcax.com. We had lunch at Oakledge Park before heading back to the Lyndon campus for a Twisters movie night! #Burlington #NWS #WCAX #Twisters

Check out the @wcax.com news story about the Lyndon crew’s recent storm chasing trip! 🚐⛈️🌪️📸 #greatplains #supercells #tornadoes #vtsulyndon

Love this! 🙌 Students from GIV's Weather & Climate Science Institute learning from VTSU Lyndon's Atmospheric Sciences Professor Ari Preston and our awesome alums at WCAX! Such a cool way to connect science, media, and mentorship!

Cool to see our own Dr. Preston quoted by a locally owned Cape Cod newspaper about forecast accuracy in New England! 📰🌎👍

We are happy to announce that the 51st NESC is coming back to Burlington VT! Dates: March 13-15 More info coming soon!

Single shot 70mm from yesterday. Ghostly. Etherial. And a photo I'll probably never be able to top! Dickens, Nebraska. 6/16/25

On our way back to New York, we saw gorgeous mammatus clouds in Oklahoma and one last supercell in Missouri. Students are now back at Oswego wrapping up their research projects! 🚐⛈️📊

We had a very exciting end of our trip! We saw another tornado near Sundown, TX. We saw beautiful supercell structure with this storm, including a breathtaking beaver tail. The next day we launched a weather balloon at Lake Colorado City State Park and got to see a thunderstorm break the cap. 🌪️⛈️🎈

We have had a very active past few days. We saw a majestic supercell in New Mexico and experienced its RFD winds. We ran into the ICECHIP team and got to see the DOW radar. We also saw a wedge tornado near Lubbock, TX yesterday. We have two chase days left! ⛰️🧊🌪️ @vermontstateu.bsky.social
