Renewable energy is helpful in many ways. "Owing to that massive build-out of solar and wind power, while other countries have had rising energy bills in the wake of the US-Israel offensive in Iran, Spain now enjoys some of the cheapest electricity in the EU." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Nice downburst and low-level KDP core on the west side of Little Rock around 2pm on 7/3. These KDP cores can show where there is precip loading and melting, which are things that help create stronger downbursts.

Large fires continue to burn in CO. Thankfully, the Willow Fire near Leadville did not grow a lot, but that is sadly not the case for other fires, especially the #AspenAcresFire southwest of Pueblo. Satellite image is from 6:31pm MDT and image is of the #WillowFire on Monday afternoon.

Several large wildfires burning in CO and UT Sunday evening, including one in Lake County, CO where I grew up. Photo was taken by my brother in Leadville late Sunday afternoon. #COFire #WillowFire

I've got to say that I'm really disappointed in the recent discourse surrounding the RCP8.5 scenario. The lack of context and understanding is something I expected from the usual suspects, but it's frustrating to see such bad takes from people and outlets who should know better.

This program is so beneficial for the students, mentors, and weather research as a whole. Hopefully it returns soon but it is unacceptable that this lapse has to occur in the first place.

I was not sure which way to go with #background for #BlueskyArtShow, so I just chose something I thought we be nice for my computer background.

This incredible heat wave 🥵 is rewriting the record books for Colorado’s snowpack. 🏔️ We're currently witnessing a snow drought of historic proportions.🤯 With ~2 weeks of record-smashing temps across the Western US, our mountains are losing what little snow they had—fast. 📉 🧵 1/9 #cowx

Really cannot overstate how bonkers the heat wave out West is. Just obliterating records. 🧪

This is now the all-time March record high temperature for Leadville, CO (elev near 10,000ft), and they could break it again tomorrow. 64 degrees would be a nice warm day at the end of May, so seeing it now is crazy. Record highs are being set all over the West. #WesternHeat #HeatWave #ClimateChange

Well, if yesterday's map was ridiculous, I'm running out of superlatives to characterize today's. Countless locations from Pacific Coast to Great Plains are currently experiencing all-time record March warmth, w/ some locations approaching/exceeding April (or even May) records.

Last time we were stargazing in CO, we saw so many satellites. At first it was cool, then it was distracting. Now there is a proposal to send up a million more. Not sure that is a good idea for many reasons. Public comment period ends very soon. #NightSky #Satellites darksky.org/news/two-sat...

Several years ago, I was reminded to always be ready to explain why I am a Christian. I decided to write it down and share it each year as it grows. My reasons range from science to personal experiences. This year I have seen more of the amazing planet (especially mountains) God created for us.

As I say here, there is no scientific justification to revoke the engagement finding. In fact, over the last 15+ yrs, the evidence of how climate change affects our health has only grown. Higher risk of allergies, dementia, fertility, heart disease, and death: that’s what’s on the line. @nature.org

The energy transition is happening, faster than many realize. This week, I look at how clean energy is surging, where we can get it wrong, why silence on climate is spreading, and what we can do. Read the full edition for the data, the stories, and practical ways to keep the conversation going:

Very unusual weather in Leadville, a town at 10,152 ft in CO, this Dec. High temps soared above 50F 5 times and they set 6 record daily highs. Even crazier, it rained on Christmas Day! Growing up, it would not even rain on Halloween. The weird weather is due in part to human-caused #ClimateChange.

Thanks to @climatologist49.bsky.social for calculating the stats and generating the maps that tell the incredible story of how Christmas 2025 was - by far - the warmest Christmas on record. Some additional details and rather incredible factoids here: tinyurl.com/amvyycfc

Merry Christmas everyone!

I have really enjoyed checking out and participating in the weekly #BlueSkyArtShow over the past year. Today is #OpenHouse and this picture was taken in Vermont.

When you like the weather, you look at the #sky a lot, and there is usually something interesting to see. #BlueSkyArtShow

Oklahoma may be flat, but it has an amazing #sky! #BlueSkyArtShow
