Ladies and gentlemen, that is how you photograph a full moon rising over #Louisville. Utterly sensational capture by Duke Marsh yesterday evening with the moon peaking through our skyline! This is ridiculously cool! 📸 sent to me by Duke Marsh and captured from Silver Hills in New Albany.

This is next level lightning insanity from last night!!! Brilliant video sent to me by Mari Howard.

Ladies and gentlemen, it is Pumpkin Spice time of the year in August!

I had to beat the heat tonight. 🍨

Ladies and gentlemen, that is a shelf cloud!!! An incredibly mean looking shelf cloud moved through Lagrange, KY this afternoon. While these shelf clouds look super mean, many times the storm isn’t severe. The shelf will coincide with the arrival of the gusty winds. 📷 sent to me by Scott Cason.

This week I have been sharing video from my scuba trip to Curaçao. Tonight, the subject is eel! I am going to show you the spotted moray, green moray, golden (rare), and the sharp tail eel! Some of the green moray eel were huge!

This is the best video I have seen so far of the tornado that hit near HWY 111 about 4 miles south of Seymour, IN around 10:30 am today. Watch all the way to the end. 🎥 sent to me by Jerry Wischmeier.

After each scuba diving trip, I enjoy sharing the remarkable views I got to experience. Tonight, I will give you a quick view of Curaçao. The pristine beaches of Klein Curaçao to the beautiful turtles majestically swimming through the waters of the islands. Enjoy my Curaçao turtle video! 🐢

After a long tornado season, I finally got some time off to relax and spend some time scuba diving. It was much needed time off. I will be sharing some of my dive trip later this week, but I have to say, it is good to be back on air at WDRB.

Ok, this is insane. Chris Gross is reporting the heat has been enough to melt and chip the sealed asphalt on 160 in Salem, IN. 😮

Mother Nature has shown me some mercy with clear skies to image with my telescope! Tonight is another test night to dial out all tilt in the imaging train. This can be a tedious process since microns matter. Maybe a few images too. 🔭

That is one of the insanely bright rainbows I have seen. 🌈 Incredibly intense! 📸 sent to me by Steven Decker in Grayson County, KY.

Happy Mother’s Day to my mother and all the other Mother’s out there. This is a day to celebrate all you have done for all of us. We know it isn’t always easy. ❤️

On a day like yesterday, I had to enjoy some outside time! The destination was Natural Bridge State Park & Red River Gorge and views have been amazing!!! What a day!

Update to the Bullitt county , KY tornado…

The NWS survey team has determined an EF-1 tornado with 105 mph winds touched down about 4 miles south of Shepherdsville, KY in Bullitt county. Survey continues…

“At least” an EF-1 tornado has been found in Fairdale in Louisville, KY with winds of 90 mph. Survey continues.

Before a busy week, I am heading to Future Of Fighting event tonight at the Kentucky Center for African American Heritage in Louisville. Fights start at 7 pm with Blake Alvey headlining! I hope to see some of you there tonight!

Based on the morning data, I cannot see a way we don’t get a bunch of warnings Sunday night with a watch. Large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes are possible.

5 months. 32.25 hours of integration time. 25+ hours of processing. = My image of the Heart Nebula. The Heart is a close galactic neighbor that is only about 7,500 light years from Earth. It is nothing less that spectacular! Captured from my backyard in Louisville, KY.

Check out this dust devil that hit off Mt. Eden road today in Shelbyville, KY. Notice the play area up top! The family is very grateful the kids weren’t using the play area when it hit. This is one of the stronger dust devils I have seen in a bit!

The NWS has identified an EF-1 tornado touch down near Orleans, IN in Orange County very early Saturday morning with 95 mph winds. *This is preliminary as the survey continues.

This was just sent to me of a vehicle roof from Goshen, KY. Notice all the hail damage. If you saw ping pong sized hail or larger, have your roof inspected for damage and check your car.

With clear skies tonight, it is definitely a telescope night! 🔭 My dad asked if I wanted help and I told him he is *always* welcome. He showed up immediately. I am still trying to finish a project I started in November. 🤞🏻

Look up tonight!

It has been since December 22 that I was able to set up a telescope to capture images of the night sky. That wait has ended. 🔭

Winter Storm Watch posted for late Tuesday to late Wednesday. This is for the potential of 4"+ of snow in this time period.

Sadly we are getting reports of 2 fatalities in Hart county, KY that occurred when a vehicle was swept away by the flood waters. This was near Bonnieville, KY.

State of Emergency in Kentucky on Saturday.

Tornado confirmed from the morning storms.

The full moon rising over downtown New Albany, IN was sensational tonight! 😮 📷 sent to me by Duke Marsh.

You are experiencing a January to remember…

It looks like a Christmas movie in downtown Louisville! A beautiful snow this evening.

Really good pictures of the rime ice caused by the freezing fog this morning in Jasper, IN. You can see that feathery look to the ice on the tree limbs. 📷sent to me by Tim Hodges.

The freezing fog created some beautiful ice formations on trees in parts of our area last night. Notice the delicate and feathery structure to the ice. This is not something we see often here. 📷 sent to me by Fatima Scott in Campbellsburg, IN.

This is exceptional! A brilliant shot of a cardinal perched on the ice covered branches in Bardstown, KY. The colors of the cardinal pop so much! 😮 📷 sent to me by Charles Noble.

The 10.5" storm total from this storm is the largest *storm total* in the city since Louisville saw 11.5" of snow on the March 4-5, 2015 storm.

Joey Schmidt sent me this picture from our winter storms that has affected the area over the last 30 hours. Notice the ice bending down the tree limbs contrasted against the beautiful red cardinal. Incredible pic!

Future meteorologist Brantley was out there getting those snow measurements today. Brantley is a good little man. ❄️ I don't know about each of you, but I look at my life hoping that I make a difference. Seeing this little guy really reminds me why I do this.

And today is the snowiest day since February 4, 1998!

Pouring sleet in downtown Louisville!

Big time snow in Louisville today!

Final thoughts for this night on our impending winter storm…

True story while I was leaving the gym today… **I will say, she was a very nice woman that just wanted to know what is going to happen.

True story…

Unfortunately, significant ice and sleet is continuing to look like a real problem for parts of the area Sunday into Monday. We are finally starting to see the models with the resolution to handle warm air advection (WAA) storms come into range. I will be updating on TV starting on WDRB News at 4.

Here are my thoughts on the strong storm system for Sunday and Monday for our area…
