❄️ go bills ❄️

Quite the snow band in eastern Maine today. Here is KCBW since 12Z this am #snow #radar #wxsky

Celebrating a small milestone today 🎉 Our ML tutorial paper was cited 100 times. I am glad this work is out there, being read. If you haven't seen the paper or code yet: paper: journals.ametsoc.org/view/journal... code: github.com/ai2es/WAF_ML...

I know the turkey is the star today, but here in Salt Lake its also that time of year where other birds show up on the radar. Here is a fun gif from last night 👇 Just another thing you notice, by just watching the radar from time to time. 10 out of 10 would recommend

If I told you this was Utah, would you believe me? Love having train options in the valley

Here in SLC, we have been locked in a low stratus cloud (image 1) keeping things cool and damp. You can leave this gloomy day by a quick travel up one of the canyons (image 2). Local ceilometer shows the clouds in bright blue/purple/white (image 3). Sounding to round out the deep dive 😶‍🌫️

I’m glad turning it on and off fixes many problems because sys admin on orbit sounds like a wild job

Local aerosols say hi 👋 (looking west from Utah campus)

Applications are open for the @ncar-cisl.bsky.social SIParCS summer internship program! It's a great opportunity for computationally-inclined students to get experience with real-world research problems spanning computational and Earth System Science.

🌀On the snap of my fingers, everyone will agree that NOAA and NSF should continue to do fundamental weather research 🫰

Some interesting views from low earth orbit of the effects of Melissa on land/ocean. Check out the brownish ocean color near land in the second picture. Sediment runoff

Calling all prospective grad students! 🚨 Come learn about CliMAS during our annual Prospective Graduate Student Webinar - featuring our internationally recognized on campus and online MS and PhD programs. RSVP here to receive a Zoom link: forms.gle/CYsLWz5uoRNm....

Ever wonder what the second-wettest 24 hours on record in Salt Lake City looks like? A strong shortwave passed through on Saturday, delivering a rare all-day rain and dropping 2.39 inches at the airport!

Love the visible marker of winter approaching

Fall in Salt Lake. A short story 🍃

Overpass from two of tomorrow’s sounders this morning of Ragasa showing a concentric eyewall

Love fall cold fronts 🍃

Want to come work for the National Hurricane Center, #NHC? There are two new job postings that were just announced yesterday. The 1st opportunity is a position within the #Hurricane Specialist Unit, #HSU: GS-13 Hurricane Specialist Position -- www.usajobs.gov/job/845559000

It kills me that football is a game of inches and it still relies on refs “eye balling” where the ball was 🙄 Bills robbed of another drive from a poor spot

My lab at UCLA is hiring 1-2 PhD students this cycle! Join us to work at the intersection of cognitive science and AI applied to pressing societal challenges like climate change. More info about me: rachit-dubey.github.io My lab: ucla-cocopol.github.io Please help repost/spread the word!

🚨I’m recruiting 1-2 PhD students for my Air Quality Data Science 🌐 group @utah.edu (start Fall ’26), working on multimodal machine learning applications for atmospheric chemistry (wildfires, ozone, dust). How to apply below. Please repost & ping me with recommendations!

Last call to submit your awesome research to the weather community hang in Houston

22 scans of Hurricane Erin in just 4 days with tomorrow’s current constellation. Still more satellites to be launched this year and next, which will only increase the temporal coverage. www.linkedin.com/posts/tomorr...

Today’s random weather data 🤔

Can I just say, this is my fav part of #wxsky , pure weather geekin 🤓

If we just had DVORAK and no recon for this storm, would it still be as strong as it is?

Erin's currently estimated increase from 75 kt to 130 kt intensity (maximum sustained wind anywhere in the hurricane) in **12 hours** is a 55-kt change exceeded by only three Atlantic hurricanes in the past 50 years: 2005 Wilma (75 kt!), 2007 Felix (60 kt), and 2024 Milton (60 kt).

🌀 Hurricane #Erin as seen from NASA's GPM-DPR at 10:26 this am when it was around a CAT 3. Very small eye, 2 radar scans wide on the radar (~10 km)

Today we are announcing challenge 1 of the Build Tomorrow initiative! We are challenging the community to build hurricane intensity forecasts. If you want to participate be sure to sign up for email updates: build.tomorrow.io?utm_campaign...

Tropical cyclone Podul to make landfall in Taiwan soon

Wx folks, this season would be good to get a vibe for the skill of Google Deep mind’s specially tuned hurricane model. I know this just adds more maps to look at, but might be worth keeping an eye on (gmail account required): deepmind.google.com/science/weat...

GFS fiction-cast in August is a bit bullish “cyclone, cyclone, cyclone, cyclone, cyclone, cyclone …. Cyclone”

Hey wx folks, some of our own on a very fun podcast this week. Go a head and give it a listen. Dad Ward always provides excellent content

With the on, off, on DMSP microwave data, I wanted to highlight tomorrows capabilities with hurricanes. Tomorrow is aiming to have hourly updates globally. That means we will have images like these almost every hour. More examples here www-tomorrow-io.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.tomo...

Your daily reminder to look up, I mean down, you get it ☁️ 🌊

The weather company and NVIDIA released a reforecast of their GRAF model (MPAS) on AWS. So here is total column water vapor for a 2018 event

Local weather station might have wind biases from 2.1 m tall sunflowers 😅 😂

Oh hey there Salt Lake City 🎇

Big fan of the 100% natural sky booms 🧨 🎇

When your fav podcast is gonna do another weather pod

After being 105 in our backyard Thursday, we unexpectedly observed lake effect rain last night with this much colder airmass. I am use to lake effect in the shoulder seasons in the Great Lakes but not in summer. An unseasonable combo of shallow-warm lake + cool airmass. Here is the radar loop 👇

Linear regression is all you need
