Tropical Depression Two has formed in the eastern Gulf. So long as it stays over water it has a chance of strengthening into a Tropical Storm as it slowly meanders westward grazing the coastline. Tropical Storm Watch up for the #FLPanhandle. #wx #flwx

Jumping up to a high chance (80%) for development. Gulf system situating itself perfectly over the warm waters and in a region of light wind shear. If it continues to churn here slowly we will likely see #Bertha be named. #Hurricane Hunters scheduled to investigate today. #wx

Moderate (40%) chance of development. Gulf system showing a nice spin & increased convection today. Depending on positioning & land interaction we may see this system be named #Bertha. Even if it does not strengthen, ample moisture expected for parts of the #Florida Panhandle.#wx

A quiet #Hurricane Season so far. This week we will be watching two areas that have a low chance of development. Both areas have moderate to strong wind shear which could suppress development in the near term. Uptick in precipitation at least for part of the Southeast. #wx

Super Typhoon #Bavi. Large and powerful Category 5 #hurricane over the western North Pacific, wind speeds near 165 mph. Tracking toward the Mariana Islands. Expected to pass very near #Rota before moving between #Guam and #Saipan on Monday morning. #wx

Small chance of development over the next several days off the Southeast coast. Could bring some showers to the coastal regions but at this time it is not a concern. Continue to monitor over the next week. Next name #Bertha. #wx

#Venezuela is no stranger to strong earthquakes given its proximity to the Caribbean plate. Since 1641 it has experienced six quakes measuring at least magnitude 7. The strongest #earthquake on record for Venezuela occurred on March 26, 1812 (7.7M). Estimated 20,000 lives lost.

Back-to-back powerful #earthquakes (7.1 and 7.5 magnitude) hammered Venezuela on Wednesday evening, collapsing buildings in the capital of #Caracas. apnews.com/article/vene...

Ok you guys. Here’s the deal. The M7.1 in Venezuela was upgraded to a M7.2. AND it was followed shortly by a M7.5. Not good.

Strong tectonic activity today. 7.1 magnitude #earthquake in #Venezuela and a 6.9 magnitude off the coast of Kuji #Japan.

Wow. Very intense radar signature. Confirmed large and extremely dangerous #tornado located 8 miles southwest of #Martinsville, #Indiana or 10 miles north of #Bloomington, moving east at 45 mph. Seek shelter if you are in this area. #wx

SPC Severe Thunderstorm Watch 343 ⛈️ Scattered damaging winds and isolated significant gusts to 75 mph likely Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 3 inches in diameter likely A tornado or two possible SUMMARY🌪️ Additional Details Here.

Convection is on fire across portions of #Illinois and #Indiana. Moderate risk (4/5) for parts of these areas as a strengthening low pressure moves across the Great Lakes region. Tornadoes, large hail, and damaging winds will be possible. Have multiple ways to receive alerts. #wx

Tropical Storm #Arthur has formed near the Texas coastline. Heavy rainfall and flash flooding to be the main concerns for southern and coastal areas of #Louisiana, #Mississippi, and the #Florida Panhandle. On average, the first named storm typically forms in mid to late June. #wx

Tropical Storm Watches issued for coastal parts of east #Texas, and western through central coastlines of #Louisiana. If this system reaches tropical storm status it will be given the name #Arthur. Main concerns expected to be heavy rainfall which could lead to flash flooding.#wx

Moderate (50%) chance for development this week. Moisture moving into the Gulf could form into a system. Land interaction combined with moderate upper level wind shear will give this system a challenge though. Parts of the western #Gulf Coast can anticipate some rain at least. #wx

Severe Thunderstorm Warning for North central #Flagler County and Southeastern St. Johns County until 330 PM EDT. Strong winds, heavy rainfall (which is needed), and lightning possible. #flwx #wx #SaintAugustine.

Cumulus clouds boiling up into cumulonimbus clouds this afternoon. Gorgeous structure. A few scattered storms will be possible today across Northeast Florida but most will be dry and hot to end the work week. Better chance for showers this weekend and into next week. #flwx #wx

Monitoring the Gulf this week. A small chance of development possible, but this will depend on if ample moisture from Tropical Storm #Cristina (in the Pacific) makes its way eastward. The Gulf is generally where tropical development takes place during the month of #June. #wx

Magnitude 6.1 #Earthquake 104 km WNW of Mantua, #Cuba. Light shaking reported in parts of Miami, Tampa, Orlando, and as far as Jacksonville, #Florida. No #tsunami threat expected.

An #earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 8.2, revised to 7.8, occurred at 938 AM ChST in Mindanao, #Philippines.

Saw #Pressure today. On the anniversary of D-Day even. Highly recommend for the #meteorology community. “How can the weather be boring? It feeds us. The weather can destroy us. It controls our daily life. I don't think that's boring.” - James Stagg. youtu.be/zdM4tdLQBg0?...

The first tropical storm of the 2026 Eastern Pacific #Hurricane Season has formed #Amanda. No threat to land - Fish Storm. 🐠 #wx

#June is a relatively quiet month for tropical systems in the Atlantic. The Gulf, which usually maintains prime sea surface temps, is generally where systems form during this month. #Hurricane Beryl is the strongest June hurricane on record: reaching Cat 4 on June 30, 2024. #wx

June 1st marks the opening of the Atlantic #Hurricane Season. Multiple agencies are forecasting a below average season thanks to an intensifying El Niño. An average season sees 14 named storms, with 7 becoming hurricanes & 3 reaching major status. It only takes one though. #wx

Typhoon #Jangmi (#6) is forecast to strengthen significantly as it approaches southwestern #Japan. The typhoon is expected to pass close to the main island of #Okinawa late June 1st. #Typhoon season in Japan runs May through October. The peak month is August. #wx

May 15 is the official start of the East Pacific Hurricane Season. A strong El Niño is forecast which will play a key role in hurricane activity for the Atlantic & Pacific. El Niño favors #hurricane activity in the central and eastern Pacific, and suppresses it in the Atlantic. #wx

Researchers have found that the 2025 #tsunami, which took place in Tracy Arm Fjord, Alaska, was the second largest recorded natural disaster of its kind in history, with a wave that reached up to 1,578 feet high. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

A #tornado watch has been issued for parts of #Florida until 6 PM EDT

One month until the official start of the Atlantic #Hurricane Season. A strong El Niño developing in the Pacific will play a key role. The Pacific generally sees an increase in hurricane activity due to warmer waters & less vertical wind shear. The opposite takes place for the #Atlantic. #wx #flwx

Classic hook echo on a super cell south of Fort Worth, #Texas. #Tornado Warning for southeastern #Johnson County. Seek shelter immediately. Moving SE at 25mph. #txwx #wx

Much-needed rainfall this week for #Florida. Drought conditions wont be eliminated but this rainfall will certainly help, especially along the Atlantic coastlines. Florida’s dry season generally lasts until around May before our sea breeze thunderstorm season takes over.#wx #flwx

If you'd like to follow along with the #Artemis II launch, NASA has a live blog here: www.nasa.gov/blogs/missio... and you can watch the official broadcast on the NASA site here: plus.nasa.gov/scheduled-vi... or on YouTube here: www.youtube.com/live/Tf_UjBM...

Tropical Cyclone #Narelle made landfall four times in #Australia. The cyclone also triggered a dust storm which turned skies red in western parts of the country near Shark Bay. It’s only the third storm on record to make landfall in three jurisdictions. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

It's now been 10 days since Cyclone Narelle hit Australia for the 1st time. Today it made its 4th landfall. It's basically traversed half of the country's coast at this point lol accuweather.com/en/hurricane...

Risk for thunderstorms again tomorrow across Northeast #Florida as a strong cold front moves in from the west. Get ready for a blast of cold temperatures entering back into the area Tuesday with drier conditions once this cold front passes. #wx

Busy flight day above #SaintAugustine. #Contrail Weather. Created when planes fly in cold and humid atmospheric conditions and ice crystals form around the particles emitted from the engine. #wx #flwx

The National Hurricane Center completed their post season analysis of #Hurricane #Melissa. Maximum winds were found to be 165kts (190 mph). This would tie with Hurricane Allen (1980) as the most powerful Atlantic hurricane based on wind speeds. #wx www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/ind...

As of 1PM eastern. #Tornado Watch has been extended east to include parts of Northeast #Florida & Southeast #Georgia. Strong squall line moving eastward today. Currently in Panhandle. Isolated tornadoes, strong winds, & small hail likely. Have multiple ways to receive alerts #wx

Small angel echoes near Green Cove Springs this morning. These circle-like echoes can typically indicate a scattering of biological entities such as birds, insects, or airborne particulates. #wx

It’s National Weather Person’s Day! Appreciate the #meteorologist in your life today. We strive to protect lives and inform you about our beautiful atmosphere☀️🌤🌧⛈🌩❄️☃️🌬💦💧☔️🌊💨 #wx

Six more weeks of winter! #PunxsutawneyPhil saw his shadow this morning. Phil has an overall accuracy rate of about 40% since he started forecasting in 1887 😉. #wx #GroundhogDay apnews.com/live/groundh...

Can confirm. It’s freezing 🥶. #flwx

Keep your eyes to the sky Northeast #Florida. Some flurries beginning to fall. #wx

Photo of a bomb cyclone in early 2017. “Bomb cyclone” is a term used to describes a rapid strengthening of a powerful low-pressure system. To be classified as one, central pressure must lower 24mb within 24 hours. Chances increasing for one off the East Coast this weekend. #wx

An arctic front is expected to bring frigid temperatures to the middle and eastern part of the country and many are talking about #ExplodingTrees. Similar to a #FrostQuake with the loud ‘booms’ it can make. But very rare that a tree actually explodes. #wx www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

Gravity wave clouds this morning in JAX. Nice treat to start off the 1st day of the semester. Formed when stable air is forced up & down. They produce turbulence for aircraft. My meteorology students will have to wait until our Mountain Weather lecture to fully appreciate them.

Magnitude 6.5 #earthquake struck the southern Mexican state of Guerrero, near #Acapulco, this morning. There is no tsunami threat from this earthquake.
