Amazing night sky last night near Meeker, CO. #NEOWISE comet over the #GrassyFire was stunning! #cowx #cofire

Unfortunately, as expected, the #SouthForkFire in Nebraska is going big this afternoon. Exhibiting pyrocumulus and appears to have two distinct head fires moving eastward. #newx #nefire

The #SouthForkFire in Nebraska remains very active this morning. Forecast calls for westerly winds gusting to 40mph through the day with RH down to the 10-15% range. Red Flag Warning. Will be a long day for firefighters. #newx #nefire

Doing some basic modeling, not considering current fire size nor barriers. Using expected weather conditions, this fire has potential for 20-40k acres today. Yikes.

BREAKING: A large wildfire is burning in western Nebraska, forcing a closure along Highway 20 between the towns of Harrison and Crawford. These are incredible images from the Banner County Volunteer Fire Department. klkntv.com/south-fork-fire-c…

A tale of satellite imagery today. Got a good guess how the South Fork Fire in Nebraska started... Still burning actively tonight. #newx #nefire

Two sprite photos just minutes apart, two very different appearances. Taken above the same Kansas storm complex but unique behavior between them. So much to learn still... #kswx
