Saw on some other social media "TORNADO ALLEY IS EXPANDING!!!" and my first thought is Thor in Ragnarok talking to Bruce Banner, saying, "Is it though?" Comparing F/EF2+ probability from 1955-2024 and 1994-2024, the "bullseye" remains concentrated over the Deep South. You tell me.

"The path that only takes us back to a respect for knowledge and ability through some sort of conflagration, however, is too dangerous a risk. (In the wake of a global pandemic or a nuclear conflict, there may be no path left at all.)" @radiofreetom.bsky.social, 2018. Some Friday morning reading.

When sprinkles are submerged in liquid nitrogen, they rapidly cool to −196 °C, causing the trapped moisture and air inside them to contract and the sugar structure to become brittle. cen.acs.org/education/Ch... #CENChemPics #chemsky 🧪

Well, we’re generally near average for snowfall this winter across Wisconsin…but that is a huge snow drought over the plains and western United States. This will have impacts on our spring and summer weather this year.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that Janesville is still standing and that it didn’t gust to 315 mph there.

Snakes on a Plane 2 will be about king cobras on trains. Snakes on a Plane 3 will be about venomous snakes in automobiles. Wonder if we can get a Steve Martin cameo.

Breaking News! Y-axis alert! For the first time on record, the 3-year running average for the mean rate of atmospheric CO2 growth broke 8.00 ppm per 3 years, reaching a new record high growth rate of 8.06 ppm per 3 years. And that dip in the early 1990's was Mt. Pinatubo.

Happy every meteorologist gets Blue Bell ice cream except you day, to all who celebrate.

This pup found a stick shaped like an old timey pipe earlier today and has already solved three mysteries. 13/10

I wonder how many people received this junk email this morning.

Internal emails show Department of Energy's debunked climate science report was reviewed by scientists internally, who found it "biased," "misleading," and "hypocritical." Contrarian authors tailored their work to ensure it focused on weakening climate regulations. www.eenews.net/articles/doe...

If Utah and Colorado don’t get some snow this winter and fairly regular precipitation this spring and summer, I’m horrified to think of what the fire season is going to look like.

Great day in Wisconsin Rapids for our 3rd extreme weather and climate roadshow.

It’s nice of the weather to stay within state lines like that. 🤙

Winter storm risks in the upper Midwest in February? Big, if true. 😮😮😮

Aside from the horrible de-aging on Sam Neill (and to a lesser extent Laura Dern; let's face it, Goldblum could have been left alone and wouldn't have been too much different than 1993) this is an excellent commercial.

No, I checked the calendar and it’s February 3, not April 1.

Have plans tomorrow afternoon? Come see us and the Wisconsin State Climate Office at Mid-State Technical College in Wisconsin Rapids. We'll be hosting our third Weather and Climate Services Roadshow in the auditorium. See you there!

I was on Channel 7 news earlier today chatting about this morning’s reentry of a Starlink satellite, which was seen by thousands across Victoria. Also discussed how adding a million satellites would probably be a very bad idea. youtu.be/hC8Tw1FFhUc

Wings win. And that was stressful, holding onto a 1-0 lead for 59 minutes.

Secure your own squid first before helping others. (I'm disproportionately proud of this drawing.)

Who remembers the power pad you needed to play this?

All foods can fit in a balanced diet, a dietitian says. Rigid food rules often do more harm than good. It’s flexibility that can actually support better health.  How to get started with this way of thinking (thread) ⬇️ buff.ly/Q2lZv0Y #health

Last Sunday I presented my research at the AMS Student Conference in Houston! I attempted to extend research linking the AMO condition to Atlantic activity and landfalls with the idea that it should correlate to rapid intensification as well. Not the most complex of projects, but data is data!

First I’ve heard of this. www.wisn.com/article/uw-m...

Quiz time: What's with this higher radar reflectivity (heavier snow) between Sun Prairie, Watertown, and Jefferson?

If you’re a meteorologist that gets too worked up about people paying attention to Groundhog Day…

Legend has it if the Wisconet Weasel sees his shadow, we’ll have 6 more weeks of winter. Unfortunately, our seer of seers decided it’s been too cold lately and took a vacation. But our staff meteorologist rolled back over when the alarm went off. 6 more weeks of winter!

Dramatic imagery from SDO showing the recent X8.1 flare from AR 4366, the third strongest solar flare of Solar Cycle 25. A CME was launched which may have Earth-directed components...

Four years ago, the mask was pulled off.

My wife and I spend less than that each week on groceries that give us 7 days worth of homemade breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and even snacks.

We have to meet people where they are but that shouldn't be a race to the bottom. It's so crowded a space these days what's even the point in that race? Degrade yourself for a few extra shares? Listen I give props to people who figure out how to make money but we don't all have to emulate it.

Now now Matt, we can’t ignore them, because they have lots of followers!

Being told that we should accept what they’re doing isn’t the approach. We see consistently when degreed and non-degreed mets make sensational/incorrect statements, the experts have to clean up the mess. No Rainier isn’t venting. No that buoy doesn’t mean tsunami. No trees aren’t exploding.

Screenshots taken at the same time. Wisconet measuring -3°F, Apple Weather saying 7°F. Apple gets weather station and model data from NOAA, then interpolate it for your city. You’re better off with a direct measurement from the nearest airport or Wisconet station. We have both on our site!

Red Wings should be as embarrassed as they’ve ever been with their performance today.

Of all the terrible ideas, this might be the terriblist. Too many companies out there that have the worst interests in mind.

One of these things is not like the other.

Even the real media is doing this stupid stuff.

We’re home after a great trip to Houston for #AMS2026. Lots of good conversations, presentations, and posters. We’re looking forward to August when you’re all in our hometown for the #AMSMadisonSummit! I wonder if we might host a little get together. 🤔

Kaner!

Delicious interactive data products by time slice and exceedance probability, I love it so much - THANK YOU NOAA

There will be updates to Storm Prediction Center Severe Weather Outlooks in March. These updates will be reflected in the maps posted on the Wisconet Outdoor Activities Dashboard. We’ll put some explainers together ahead of the change.
