Snapshot of the heat over in Europe. Air temps 10-15C above normal in many areas.

Wavey clouds this evening over Halifax/Dartmouth (Asperitas, I believe) #nswx

Very wet for the balance of the week in parts of TX and LA with a trough/convective system in the region - regardless of whether it becomes a tropical storm. weather.gov/hgx/

I'm preparing a presentation related to the National Hurricane Center's "cone of uncertainty", which was first used 24 years ago. At the end, I have a couple slides to highlight my history of work in the hurricane risk & communication arena. Strange to see it all in one place, going back to 2010!

Gusty north winds tomorrow - the kind to catch your vehicle door and ding the one parked next to you (happened to us one windy June day 5 yrs ago 😣😅). Dry air also and high ~18C in Halifax area. #nswx

It's the first day of hurricane season in the Atlantic. TC-ATLAS now features a real-time monitoring page with geostationary and microwave satellite data, real-time surface observations, and objective model forecasts from Google DeepMind. michaelfischerwx.github.io/TC-ATLAS/rea...

Bit of a temperature gradient forecast across Nova Scotia Wednesday afternoon 😯 #nswx

A mixture of 'gravity waves' (cloud pattern) at various altitudes. These are akin to ripples in the sand at the beach. Different levels in the atmosphere where the temperature increases with height often give rise to these. #nswx #pewx

Some low temps last night. #pewx #nswx

Temp analysis as of ~230 pm #nswx

Forecast temperatures later this afternoon #nswx #pewx

Bit of a gradient in temps 'round here today! #nswx

Freshwater & Salt. After high winds, rain, & overcast all morning, the sky cleared this afternoon with the sun glittering on Pinetree Pond East (upper photo), & bright on the south beach floodwater (lower photo). These two photos were taken from the same position on the top of a dune, 1/4🧵…

Satellite animation of today's weather system departing the region followed by upper-level cloud associated with the jet stream accompanied by multiple interesting cloud bands likely producing turbulence for aircraft. Mt Uniacke web cam view from below! (in comment)

Air temps just before 2 pm today. 10C = 50F, 21C = 70F, 25C = 77F. #nswx #pewx From capebretonweather.ca

Rather deep low pressure system for May ... here is a summary for the next 24 hours or so. Sunny but very gusty Monday to dry things out again. #nswx #pewx #nbwx

Sunny today - here are the mid afternoon temperatures (C) to expect. You can likely add a degree or two to these values since the weather model tends to underestimate. #nswx #pewx #nbwx

Cool airmass but generally lighter winds coming this week. Tuesday's weather will be sunny to start the day then afternoon cumulus cloud growth with likely some showers or even graupel/snow mixed #nswx #pewx

Improving weather tomorrow (Tuesday) for the most part with some sunny conditions developing especially over western Nova Scotia where the temperature will rise to the upper teens and possibly 20/21C (70F) by ~4pm. #nswx

Meanwhile in the North Pacific Ocean, Super Typhoon threatening the Northern Mariana Islands - Saipan in particular. #TyphoonSinlaku #ZoomEarth

Here in Aotearoa / New Zealand our attention is also on Cyclone Vaianu which is expected to land in the next 24 hours.

Subtropical Storm Vaianu is about to make landfall on the north island of New Zealand. The system honestly looks as well organized as it had for quite some time but there are too many fronts involved for it to be considered tropical. It has an eye tho, which is cool.

Simple graph (sketch/estimate) showing how the sun angle this time of year is same as late Aug/early Sept but the ocean temperatures vastly different. They take a very long time to warm, naturally. 2+ months. #nswx

Forecast Friday - lots of sun and southerly winds with the typical sharp gradients in temperature. #nswx #pewx #nbwx

Most snow (3-7cm) last night right along the Atlantic coast.

Some April snow tonight. #nswx #pewx

Artemis launch as seen on GOES-East satellite! (And coming very soon to MyRadar - mesoscale satellite views!)

Sentinel satellite image of the City of Lakes (Dartmouth) from Saturday March 28. Can you identify the lakes and which ones still had some ice?

Insane March heat wave in west, central US This hasn't gotten enough attention so we wanted to share some more info. Look at this NWS map of all of the cities that tied or broke all-time March temp records late last week. CWG's Ian Livingston found 500+ locations set March record highs. (1/2)

The last week of March is shaping up to be colder than normal across most of Canada, while the opposite is expected across most of the U.S. #ArrestedSpring Map adapted from Weatherbell.

Subtropical cyclone #Samuel / #Jolina recently made landfall near New Brega, Libya. Rains and winds prevail over the surrounding area, but conditions may improve as the system will rapidly weaken soon. Please stay safe! Winds: ~65 km/h Pressure: 994 hPa 📸 CIRA/EUMETSAT

Some peak wind gusts so far from today's system. km/h. #nswx #pewx

Estimate of the snowpack moisture content as of Monday morning and the predicted snowpack by the end of Tuesday afternoon. Add this estimated melt to the forecast rainfalls to get an idea of total 'water'. #nswx #pewx #nbwx

A string of lightning crossing Nova Scotia with this weather system. #nswx . Detected strikes colored based on 'age'.

Early spring conditions today ... here are temperatures (C) around 12:30 pm. Up to 17C/63F so far. #nswx #pewx

Cold tonight folks ... before the warm-up on weekend. HRDPS model temps before sunrise: #nswx #pewx #nbwx

Forecast meteogram for Halifax and area for rest of this week #nswx

Lunar eclipse early today as moon set over Halifax

Lunar eclipse at moonset ~6:00-6:50 am Tues March 3rd here in Halifax (and anywhere in Maritimes). Sky looking favorable here. Situate yourself at a high point to possibly see it. Moon should turn orange/red especially in the upper left portion. timeanddate.com/eclipse/in/c...

Weather system this evening/tonight moving across NS and PEI. Here are the amounts of snowfall (blue shades map, cm) and rain showers (green shades map, mm) to expect based on one weather model (HRDPS). #nswx #pewx

About 20 cm here in Dartmouth ... plus what will be ~5 mm or so of rain. Plenty of drifting. Wind will drop out to near calm around 2 am as the low tracks just to our south. #nswx

Reports of thunder snow on the South Shore! Lightning was detected not along ago east of Liverpool to the south of Cape LaHave Island. #NSStorm #NSwx

Weather outlook for the next few days. #nswx #pewx #nbwx
