SEVERE DEFORESTATION in rural Franklin County, Mississippi after a significant tornado struck here late yesterday evening. I estimate the damage path in this area was nearly a mile wide. #mississippi #tornado

Now that I have officially accepted the final job offer, I can announce that I have accepted the lead position here at the NWS Mobile office! I'm not going anywhere new, but it's a nice step up the career ladder. I look forward to continuing to serve as a lead met at my office!

Alrighty, ready to see something really cool? The evolution of Hurricane Melissa's mesovortices at peak strength.

They weren't kidding when they said there were some spicy chases in the new @OutbrkGame update. One of my favorite chases in the game so far with a grand finale EF5-equivalent tornado. Winds were above 200mph for a long time with that one.

Update: As of today, she is officially cancer free! Many things to be happy about recently and this certainly tops them all.
Two things: 1) fuck cancer and 2) please send good vibes, thoughts, prayers, etc... for a speedy recovery for my sister. She had her surgery today and fingers crossed they were able to get it all removed. Been a long day but she's in good spirits and on the road to recovery.

Last night, the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron flew into the eye of Hurricane Erin—and captured imagery of the breathtaking stadium effect. These missions provide critical data to the NHC to improve forecasts, helping keep communities safe before the storm makes landfall.#readynow #weatherready

Not every day we get such well-defined supercells with deep mesocyclones offshore in our marine waters, especially with deep layer shear profiles making them look "upside down". Pretty neat little zone of high 3cape and sfc vorticity with near stationary storms stretching that.

We can recognize the emergence and the importance of streamers within the weather enterprise and warning process without stuffing the importance and work of the NWS into the mud. Ryan, max and the other streamers help bridge a gap we don’t have the people to do. We work as one!

Storm streamers are using radars and AI robots to predict extreme weather for millions of YouTube subscribers, in some cases faster than the National Weather Service, which has been gutted by DOGE. wired.com/story/the-viral-st…
Community note
The streamers in question use radar products operated and maintained by the NWS en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEXRAD

If you think nothing will happen today…I’ll leave you with this. @muggiewx and I will be chasing in the same car for the first time ever. The powers combine may be unmatched. There is only one logical way this ends…use this information wisely.
