I’m so excited to announce that I am starting and will serve as the Chief Meteorologist for the Alabama Weather Network, a new endeavor to serve all 67 Alabama counties with the most accurate weather coverage possible. Whether it's a blue-sky day or there’s severe weather

2025 has been nothing short of incredible, 30+ tornadoes most of which have been dramatically photogenic. Here are some of my favorites, which ones were you there for?

VIOLENT TORNADO PRAIRIE DU SAC, WISCONSIN NWS Milwaukee

I’m counting that btw Ben Williams

Can’t sleep. Really bad ringing in my ears, sounds like a siren. No surprise to look outside and see why.

It’s gotta be at least 98 years old by now

First ever Montana storm chase did not disappoint!

Driving by the Chesterfield Mall (soon to be ‘Downtown Chesterfield’). Demolition is mostly finished, but anchor stores and signage still standing. Parts of the lot are used for Tesla storage.

Great. Celebrity death. No viral today.

I love summer like how is it even raining right now

Something about those South Dakota country roads 👌

This gnarly tornado tracked across rural parts of northern Oklahoma on May 1, 2008. Moisture was pretty iffy in the morning, with dewpoints only in the 50s. But a surge of >65F dewpoints arrived exactly when storms formed. A classic case of "just in time" moisture!

The May 3, 1999 tornado outbreak was a once-in-a-lifetime event. 10 tornadic storms, 69 tornadoes, 4 of which were violent (F4/5). The setup was so unique, you might dismiss it as a fluke. But it still offers important lessons for future forecasts. 🧵 1/10
