GOOOOOAAAAALLLL! Morocco wins it in Penalty Kicks against The Netherlands!

What an end to that Germany - Paraguay match!

Até logo, Portugal! On the way back to the US after an amazing trip to Portugal (Lisbon and Porto).

# something of amazing espressos in Lisbon. Man I miss this.

Day 1 in Lisbon: luggage was left behind in the US, but we made the best of it! Plus, first Pastel de Nata of the trip!

It's now official. The Board of Regents has voted to approve my promotion to Full Professor in the School of Meteorology starting in July 2026. It's been an incredible journey through my science career thus far, and I am looking forward to what the future holds.

I am proud to announce that I officially earned the Certified Consulting Meteorologist (CCM) designation from the American Meteorological Society!

Guess what??

It's that time of year again! The students in my Advanced Statistical Meteorology class made some memes about the course for extra credit, and they are pretty good! Here are a select few👇:

With, among other things, wildfires being an increasing threat to our country, this is a very short-sighted decision.

Not gonna lie - concentrating on science today is very tough with, well, you know, everything going on.

My undergraduate Climate class is making Instagram/TikTok-style videos to explain modes of climate variability to non-experts as part of their homework. My graduate Statistics class is making statistics-related memes for extra credit. It's a fun time of year for sure!

But the real question is - do they have to use Teams?

Can anyone point me to a csv file to download tornado reports across the US dating from 1950 to near present? The file I have looks like this, but it ends in 2019.

Just another typical July day in Oklahoma.

Wild that this will likely be the coolest day until Monday.

It’s too early for this.

I have a drought joke, but only those with a dry sense of humor will get it.

Austin TX crushed their record high for March 15 and tied their all time highest max temperature for March: 98 F.

About to get some pretty damaging hail in OKC metro and potentially a tornado.

Oil surges above $90 a barrel for first time in Iran war ft.trib.al/u1vg5gR

West Texas Intermediate (CL=F; price of oil) is now trading at the highest price ($79.20 per barrel) since July 2024.

Huge news!

This will destroy public research universities in Oklahoma if this bill passes and signed into law. www.oudaily.com/news/oklahom...

Oh.

No.

(1) The observation was at TF Green Airport, which is in Warwick, not Providence. So, it was not a city record for Providence. (2) If counting only official observing sites, then 37.8" is a state record. But, I am pretty sure Woonsocket at 40" or more during the Blizzard of 1978.

This will be Millennial and Gen Z's storm to talk about in Southern New England for decades to come.

...RECORD SNOWSTORM FOR PROVIDENCE RI... AS OF 1 PM, THE SNOWFALL TOTAL AT RHODE ISLAND T.F. GREENE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT WAS 32.8 INCHES. THIS BROKE THE RECORD FOR THE GREATEST SINGLE SNOWSTORM ON RECORD, WHICH WAS 28.6 INCHES SET DURING THE BLIZZARD OF `78, ON FEBRUARY 6-7, 1978.

Many theses and dissertations will come out of studying this band.

Incredible snow totals from RI this morning, and there is still heavy snow falling!

I believe the technical term is “puking snow” in Providence and much of SE MA right now. Easily 2-4”/hour rates in that bad. Also, winds are howling with gusts near 55-60 mph!

USA!!! What a goal!!!

🔥🛰️ Join us at the top of the hour (12pm ET) for a talk by Shane Coffield (University of Maryland) on "Satellite data for wildfire tracking: an overview of current efforts, challenges, and uncertainties" 🔗 usclivar.org/webinars (link in calendar at base of page)

Incredibly helpful table from @andrewlautz.bsky.social

That Concur expense report for reimbursement for tariffs is going to be a doozy.

Here comes the smoke into Norman…

Warm, windy, and dry conditions in the panhandle and NW OK = A recipe for high fire danger.

Checking your emails when out sick for a couple of days and a third of the emails are when2meet polls for meetings. #FacultyLife #Academia

RIP James van der Beek. Wow. people.com/james-van-de...

Patriots are back in the Super Bowl! That was a great AFC Championship game!

Touchdown Patriots! 7-7!

Shoveling done! Now time for the AFC Championship Game! Let’s go Pats!!’

Did I read the climo report correctly - OKC airport has officially recorded 1.8” of snow from this storm?

Nothing says Oklahoma winter storm quite like having waves of sleet and sleet/snow mix with temperatures of 9-10 F.

Sleet falling in S OKC / Moore at 6:09 PM.

Flight on Sunday from OKC to HOU for the AMS meeting already cancelled by Southwest. Rebooked for Monday afternoon - hopefully I can get out then. 🫤
