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

#Tsunami warnings have been issued for parts of Japan after a strong 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck off the northeastern coast of #Japan. www.bbc.com/news/live/c0...

WATCH LIVE: NASA's Artemis II Crew Comes Home (Official Broadcast) Splashdown incoming! #ArtemisII #MissionToTheMoon #MoonMission www.youtube.com/live/nfhDuOH...

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.

Happy New Year! 🥳 First sunrise of 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣6️⃣ in beautiful #SaintAugustine. Looking forward to another exciting year and keeping my eyes to the sky. #wx #flwx

Beautiful #sunset this evening in #SaintAugustine. “Pink at night, sailor’s delight.” Dry, plenty of sunshine, & cold temps continue for New Year’s Eve as high pressure builds in from the west delivering cold northerly winds. Cold Weather Advisory & Frost Advisory in effect. #wx #flwx

Dec 21, 2025 at 10:03 AM eastern is the #WinterSolstice. The shortest day and longest night of the year and signalling the astronomical start of #Winter in the Northern Hemisphere. After the Winter Solstice the day light starts to get longer.

The 2025 Atlantic #hurricane season ends today. 13 named storms, 5 hurricanes, & 4 major: a near-normal season. Three Cat 5 storms: Erin, Humberto, & #Melissa. Melissa producing a world record wind gust (252mph). No hurricanes made landfall in the US for the 1st time since 2015. #wx

Confirmed world record. #Hurricane #Melissa produced a wind gust reading of 252mph. A Hurricane Hunter dropsonde recorded this gust at 657 feet above the sea, breaking the old record of Typhoon Megi (248 mph in 2010). #wx

Cold Weather Advisory in place for much of Northeast #Florida. Not everyday that we see wind chill values in the lower 20s, especially in November. Even wording of hypothermia & frostbite. Bring in all pets and sensitive plants tonight. Gradual warming expected after Tuesday. #wx

Coldest temps of the season arrive Monday & Tuesday for parts of North #Florida. Cold front moving through tonight with high pressure building in behind bringing cold northerly winds. Freeze Watch in place for Monday night & into Tuesday morning. Bring in pets & sensitive plants.

Seven years later and I am still rocking my #hurricane graduation shoes. #wx

It’s not #Halloween without the annual #hurricane pumpkin. Focused on the stadium effect for the eye this year. Have a Happy Halloween everyone 🌀

Eyes on The Bahamas today. However, #Bermuda now under a #Hurricane Warning. #Melissa will be picked up by a cold front from the north pushing it towards Bermuda Thursday. A chance of intensification but strong wind shear and the cold front interaction could hinder strengthening.

#Melissa pulling away from #Cuba & approaching The Bahamas. Currently a Category 2. Land interaction has helped to weaken the winds but heavy rainfall, flooding, & surge will persist across the region today. Don’t focus on the Category, focus on protecting your life and property.

From the National #Hurricane Center regarding the landfall of #Melissa. Currently down to a Cat 4 as it carves across the island of #Jamaica. Eye is closing off but has the chance to undergo an eyewall replacement cycle and strengthen as it exits back out over water before approaching #Cuba. #wx

#Melissa has made landfall near New Hope, Jamaica, with winds of 185 mph and a barometric pressure of 892 mb. Tied with the 1935 Labor Day #hurricane as the strongest landfall on record in the Atlantic. #wx

Max winds are 185mph. Pressure 892mb. Category 5 #Melissa coming ashore in #Jamaica. Tied for the third strongest Atlantic #hurricane on record based on barometric pressure. If it reaches wind speeds of 190mph it will be tied with Allen (1980) as the strongest based on winds. #wx

#Melissa joins the 800 club. Pressure now down to 896 mb. Wind speeds up to 180 mph. The sixth strongest Atlantic #hurricane based on pressure. Intensification continues as Melissa approaches the coastline of #Jamaica. #wx

#HurricaneMelissa is a buzzsaw of a storm this morning. Pressure still dropping. 901mb. Only six Atlantic hurricanes have reached barometric pressure in the 800s. The record for lowest pressure is Wilma (2005) - 882mb. Landfall expected in #Jamaica later today. #wx

Earlier from the #Hurricane Center. The Hurricane Hunters had to abort their mission into #Melissa due to severe turbulence in the eyewall. #wx

Still intensifying. #Melissa producing max sustained winds near 175mph. Barometric pressure dropping to 906mb. Record for the fastest winds in an Atlantic #hurricane belongs to Allen (1980), which had wind speeds near 190mph. #wx

#Melissa is a Category 5 #hurricane with wind speeds near 160mph. Landfall expected Tuesday in #Jamaica. This is the 3rd Cat 5 storm of the 2025 season. The last time the Atlantic produced three of more Cat 5 systems was 2005 (4 produced). #wx
