This is one of the wilder satellite animations I've seen in a minute... Wildfires produce their own thunderstorms while smoke wraps around a low pressure. What a fascinating view out of southern Kansas this evening.

The impressive tornado scar from the EF3 that ripped across southwest Mississippi last week. It went through an area that was on fire about two months prior.

Some specifics... Every Friday, I'll have recap on all the cool stuff I saw on satellite imagery over the last week. It'll be fresh, there in the app, every Friday morning.

A massive dust storm sweeps across Montana, North Dakota and southern Manitoba this evening. This stunning sunset via view GOES-19.

I am SO excited for this new chapter. Link below ⬇

Can't imagine a better scene to walk through. Snow day in Colorado.

A river of fog flows and fades in Oregon. Beautiful visible satellite imagery, today from GOES-18.

Just a powerhouse of a supercell in Texas this evening. This produced a destructive tornado that ripped through Mineral Wells.

Together with my CNN Climate & Weather colleagues, I'm writing a newsletter (again!), this time a weekly on extreme weather and climate. It's free, and you can sign up here: www.cnn.com/newsletters/... Today's topic? The upcoming "Super" El Niño.

The stage is set for an active day of tornadoes and severe storms. A rare "particularly dangerous situation" tornado watch is in place.

A lightning-packed line of storms charges across Kansas this afternoon.

A beast of a supercell in northern Texas this evening.

A tornadic supercell erupting in northern Oklahoma this evening. Incredible, high-resolution satellite imagery from GOES-19.

News: a leading NSF supported University of Oklahoma atmospheric science summer undergraduate research program that has mentored hundreds of top atmospheric scientists over two decades has been canceled for 2026 due to funding loss. (repost w/correct link) More: tinyurl.com/3zjzf7vu

Single frame. Two perfectly placed bolts. Thanks, Mother Nature! #ILwx #Chicago

Incredible satellite imagery of the tornado outbreak underway across the central United States.

Storms erupt in Minnesota and Iowa.

we live at the bottom of an ocean

Got bored tonight, so I downloaded 3 hours worth of Earthcam replay / archive footage from their Skydeck camera atop of the Willis Tower (Sears Tower) in Chicago and made a time lapse of the fog rolling in off Lake Michigan. Good illustration of how our atmosphere behaves like any other fluid. #ilwx

Super Typhoon Sinlaku over the last 2.5 days. What an incredible storm.

A fascinating view of the long-track supercell that dropped huge hail in southern Minnesota today.

The remarkable evolution of Super Typhoon Sinlaku.

Super Typhoon Sinlaku. Sheesh.

The fierce eye of Typhoon Sinlaku.

Weather satellites were able to see the Artemis II launch and re-entry. Space is cool, satellites are cool. It's all cool!!!

The life and death of twin cyclones in the West Pacific. A fascinating evolution and interaction.

An active morning already for Hawaii and a TON of lightning in the storm that hit the Big Island earlier. Hawaii faces another Kona storm while some areas are still recovering from the last two: www.cnn.com/2026/04/08/w...

#Artemis II - We have the first image from yesterdays Lunar flyby captured by the crew on Orion EARTHSET. April 6, 2026. Humanity, from the other side. First photo from the far side of the Moon. Captured from Orion as Earth dips beyond the lunar horizon. 🚀🌕🌍

A gorgeous low swirls in the Eastern Pacific. Things that spin are pretty.

Absolutely breathtaking view of the Artemis II launch. Wow.

The Canary Islands enveloped in dust as waves and vortices swirl off of them. A fascinating, complex view.

In awe of the dust storm we saw earlier today. Just an epic view.

An 800+ mile long haboob sweeping across northwest Africa. My oh my...

Colorado mountain snow: average year vs. this year. Record low snowpack by a HUGE margin.

Since we didn't have winter in Colorado, we can skip summer right? That's how this works?

Over 3,000 miles traveled and four landfalls in Australia. The incredible journey of Cyclone Narelle.

Ready for a downright beautiful display of fluid dynamics? The Fujiwhara effect between two mid-latitude cyclones in the North Pacific.

A powerful storm system marches across the Middle East.

Cyclone Narelle headed for yet another landfall in Australia.
