The cutting of weather balloon launches is a serious threat to forecasting, and therefore a serious threat to the lives of Americans.

To everyone who has played a role in getting @NASAArtemis off the ground, you are owed a hefty congratulations. And thank you.

METEOR HUNTERS in Houston — we now have a map of where meteorite fragments MAY be found! This is from NASA. So far there ARE reports of at least one medium-sized one being recovered (and, unfortunately, causing damage). This is on the northwest side of the Houston Metro northwest of Houston Bush Intercontentinal Airport. Your best chance is between Highway 1960 and Highway 99, especially near Kohrville, Klein and along Louetta Road. That’s a heavily-commercialized, busy urban area, so folks there should check their backyards too. Dark red is where 20 pound meteorites landed IF they were produced, then 2 pound (red), 0.2 pounds (dark orange), 0.02 pound (light orange) and 0.02 pound (yellow). Any recovered meteorites may be magnetic AND feel extremely dense (“too heavy” for an ordinary rock of its size). Saturday’s meteor was likely about 3 feet across and weighed a ton before it exploded overhead at 4:39 p.m. NASA’s Meteoroid Environment Office says the explosion, which produced a sonic boom, released an amount of energy equivalent to 26 tons of TNT.

🌪️ Ever wondered what it’s like to chase a storm? We’re launching a 3-part series on storm chasing —led by Dr. Christopher Nowotarski. ⚡️ First story drops Sept. 10. Stay tuned! Video credit: @camrellwx

Milton similar to the Tampa 1848 Hurricane. Latter, Cat 3-4, 15 ft storm surge. Emily Cerrito did the map. 1848 data (pretty vast) from my historical datasets of marine and land newspapers, ship logs, and instrumental records. #HurricaneMilton #Tampa #Hurricane @Jennife80870085

My newest time-lapse film Monsoon 7 is out! Here’s an excerpt from it. So honored to have been able to collaborate once again with the insanely talented @kerrymuzzey ! His music made the formation of this film so easy and exciting. Hope you enjoy! #azwx youtu.be/aE-IshquZK0?si=cw95…

Chased along old Route 66 yesterday and boy did it pay off near Ash Fork, AZ. Lovely storm that sat there for an hour and right before we had to bail, it spit out this spectacular strike along with a double-rainbow-foot feature. This is why I chase. #azwx Canon R5/10-20mm

A thread w/ a few things to say about Beryl and Houston and my own messaging. If you don't live in Houston, you do not understand Houston. People here are SKIDDISH about storms. And for justifiable reasons. This place has had disaster after disaster in recent years. 1/15

Main Street in Hillsborough. 360 degree devastation from #HurricaneBeryl It was the most intense hurricane of my life and basically everyone else here on #CarriacouIsland I will be sharing their stories later this evening on my YT channel.

🚀LIFTOFF of the SpaceX Falcon Heavy from @NASAKennedy's LC-39A! @NOAASatellites GOES-U is on the first leg of its journey to see the Earth and Sun in high definition! Stick around for more mission milestones!

I operated @tamu_atmo's S-band radar, ADRAD, for 2 years. The decision to replace it with the @climavision X-band system was an objectively good one. A former student's perspective: wx4stg.com/?p=137
