Graupel here in eastern Wake County! #ncwx

Ben Noll's analysis on humidity trends seems to back up my own personal observations that our North Carolina summers are now significantly more humid than even 15 years ago. #NCwx

August has been historically cool for high temperatures across the Southeast. First half was mostly due to rainy events and then we got a few major cold fronts right after that. Mostly lucky timing to keep high temperatures down. #NCwx #SCwx #VAwx #GAwx

Trump is likely alive and just resting. But I do believe he has a minor to moderate disease of some sort. Likely enough to stop him from trying to run for an unconstitutional third term in 2028. There's a lot of smoke at this point.

Huge Blue Ridge Parkway milestone post #Helene. BRP is once again fully open and restored between Asheville and Great Smoky Mountains NP. It's a major tourism boost for WNC with the fall foliage season coming up. #NCwx

Latest flight data is supportive of keeping it at 155 mph Category 4... for now. Still need a tiny bit more to get a Category 5. #Erin

Call this for what it is... Israel's war of annihilation on Gaza.

BREAKING: FEMA removed dozens of Camp Mystic buildings from their 100-year flood map in Texas in response to appeals.

#Chantal brought 7-12" or rain over part of NC, which corresponds to almost TWO MONTHS of rain in just 24 hours. Also, about 400 square miles experienced a 1 in 100 year flooding event #NCwx @wxdam.com @wxbrad.bsky.social @timbuckleywx.bsky.social @ncsco.bsky.social @jasonboyercbm.bsky.social

All true: - NOAA funding cuts prohibit the agency to run at full capacity - Remaining NOAA employees doing exceptional / heroic work - Extreme events happen; sometimes unexpectedly - 20th century infrastructure is inadequate for today's climate - Finger pointing as an event is ongoing? Shameful.

If I'm reading this correctly... NOAA is proposing reduction of 2456 positions across the agency.

Durham might be the most progressive city in the state along with Asheville. Not sure why that replier even tried.

This is just awful.

Actions of all administrations of last 24 years led us to this moment. GWB... Obama... Biden... Trump. And you can absolutely sense the bipartisan frustration with how we're handling the Middle East.

I'm so unbelievably lucky to have my best friend. That friendship we have is one of most special things ever.

We saw this during Hurricane Helene too. It was shocking.

Elon Musk-era X peaked here. It's over.

Wow. "To even land on Lutnick’s desk, NOAA contracts must first go through an approval process led in part by Keegan McLaughlin, a former Temple University student who worked as a food hall monitor last year and lists his Eagle Scout award on his LinkedIn résumé."

Vibrant rainbow over Portland yesterday evening! #Maine -- May 18, 2025

This image by @appodlachia.com nailed it regarding what happened in eastern Kentucky last night. #KYwx

What the hell are we doing?!?!

I use SERCC products so often. I hate you so much, DOGE.

Amen freaking Corner, man #Masters

Shit is bleak these days.

My wife is in Asheville for a conference and she had the audacity to tell me that she's going to Rocky's 🤣 (cc: @jjrennie.bsky.social)

I hope Trump voters understand that they've destroyed all progress we've made in the past 50 years or so. This is all on you.

This is very f'ing bad.

A boundary is becoming prominent on satellite. Likely that our prefrontal storms may fire and attach themselves to this boundary. Could be a problem for eastern AR into KY/TN/MS. #ARwx #KYwx #TNwx #MSwx

Myanmar's military junta responded with another round of airstrikes to impacted areas... oh man, humanity...

This is the *first time ever* that SPC highlighted an area of at least a significant hail on the West Coast... and it's for Oregon and Washington of all places. #ORwx #WAwx

DOGE has attacked life-saving programs, including: -Malaria & HIV/AIDS prevention -NOAA forecasting & FEMA disaster response -USDA food safety -FAA aviation safety -FDA flu vaccine research This will result in needless suffering — all to pave the way for billionaire tax cuts.

Woa. Water was the leading cause of deaths from #Helene, but this was eye catching. @NHC_Atlantic: Helene’s winds are responsible for 65 of the direct deaths the most direct wind deaths from any tropical cyclone in the continental United States going back to at least 1963

I'm reading the #Helene report from @NHC_Atlantic, and it's a treasure trove of data and statistics. Here's an interesting fact. When it made landfall in florida, it was moving at 27 knots (~31 mph). It may not seem like a lot, but it is. t.co/BvWd87SXgn

NHC released Tropical Cyclone Report on Hurricane Helene and it's a HUGE report at over 100 pages. Some really staggering facts and maps in there. #NCwx

Number of EF2+ tornadoes: March 31, 2023 - 44 March 13-16, 2025 - 41+ (surveys not final) April 12-13, 2020 - 35 May 19-27, 2024 - 34 December 15, 2021 - 33 April 25-28, 2024 - 25 December 10-11, 2021 - 24

It's crazy to see GOES-16 retiring already. It was a game changer back when I was in college a decade ago.

Yup. As a rural broadband GIS mapping technician... this man threatened the industry by taking all rural broadband fundings away unless they give him a BIG piece of the pie.

We still have nocturnal phase of this event to go. Doesn't look good for central-east Alabama next few hours. #ALwx

Can clearly see the debris fallout from the first Tylertown area tornado. Second Tylertown area tornado is about to overlap the damage path from the first tornado, too. #MSwx

Tight couplet with the ongoing TORE supercell heading toward Bassfield area (the site of 2020 EF-4) #MSwx

This one is a quick, more concise video reviewing everything that is going on with today's major tornado outbreak over Alabama/Mississippi. This is also more viewer friendly video than last night's video... hope y'all enjoy this one -> www.youtube.com/watch?v=WobH...

Might be a slightly later start with dynamics still arriving, but everything seems to be on track for a significant severe weather event over MS/AL. These cells in far SW MS and E LA are ones to watch with better EML over them to limit the convection until better environment. #MSwx #ALwx

A slight expansion of high risk into NE MS and NW AL. Some ominious words with the initial D1 discussion. #MSwx #ALwx

Tonight felt impossible to keep up with storms in Missouri and Arkansas. Had 9 PDS tornado warnings at one point. #MOwx #ARwx

02z HRRR for 3/15/25 vs. 08z HRRR for 4/27/11

I tried to break down next three days of severe weather into one video... that was tough, but I did it -> www.youtube.com/watch?v=Esbo...

Newest HRRR run is now showing a classic string of pearls with discrete supercells from SE Missouri to Louisiana... and that's on top of QLCS event that is likely to produce significant tornadoes over eastern Missouri into Illinois. Not good. #MOwx #ARwx #LAwx #MSwx #ILwx

18z HRRR run was a super outbreak-type of day for tomorrow into Sunday.

19z HRRR is lighting up the risk area even more. Sure. Why not. Never seen an uptrend like this on a single day. #MOwx #ARwx #MSwx
