#Jova Wednesday, September 6, 2023, 9:33 PM PDT: Jova is now a horrific category five monster with sustained winds of 160 mph moving NNW at 10 mph. This is the strongest storm on earth right now this is eerily, similar to Linda in September 1997 when she also became a

Even though almost all of the ensemble blend members don't touch the USA, its all about the trends at this point versus actual individual operational model output. Therefore, lets watch how the some of these western players shake out. The farther west we go the harder it is to

Tropical Storm #Ophelia has formed off of the North Carolina coast - the 11th Atlantic named storm to form since August 20. The only season with more Atlantic named storm formations between August 20 - September 22 is 2020 (12 formations). #hurricane

Just to emphasize how poorly hurricane & global models performed for Hurricane Otis... here's the intensity forecasts initialized 24 hours ago, with the dotted black line showing verification:

The diamond ring effect at totality in Houlton, Maine! Cindy and I are emotional. It was so incredible and one of the most spectacular things I’ve ever seen in my life. #scwx #ncwx #Eclipse #Eclipse2024

Solar Eclipse seen from the International Space Station

Ended up being the perfect plan. Traveling to San Diego on eclipse day and picked the layover during totality. #SolarEclipse2024 #DallasTX

From solar eclipse to Ocean Eclipse in one day! #Eclipse2024 #sunsetphotography #Dallas #delmar

TS #BERYL is closing in on Barbados (orange) & Windward Islands (pink). Likely to be a decent #hurricane when it crosses the islands Monday. Me: weighing my options. Ain't sold on any one scenario yet—& there are many. There always are with Caribbean Cruisers. The trick with

Hurricane #Beryl continues to quickly strengthen this Sunday morning. The storm is now a very dangerous category 3 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 115 mph. Life-threatening winds and storm surge are expected in portions of the Windward Islands by early Monday. Latest at

Powerful #Hurricane #BERYL is racing W, toward S end of Windward Isles. Me: After days of obsessive deliberation, I've decided to hold off on this round & focus on next impact (Mexico or Central America). I'll sometimes play Island Roulette, but I like to go in with better odds.

Concerns about being trapped somewhere after a #hurricane do not factor into my decision about whether to chase. I've been trapped many times, & I go into these chases just accepting that's gonna happen. The single & only factor in my decision: my odds of penetrating the core.

Here is a full list of all of the records Hurricane #Beryl has broken. Truly historic.

#Hurricane #BERYL is up to 145 knots now—earliest Atlantic Cat 5 on record. Next threatened landmasses are Jamaica (pink) & Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. But it's likely peaked & should be much weaker when it impacts these places. Not sure of my next move—thinking about it.

After #Beryl impacts the Yucatan Thursday night and Friday, hopefully as a weaker hurricane, more and more guidance starts to turn it north once it reemerges over the Bay of Campeche on Saturday. Even though some guidance has Beryl a TS at this point, some keeps it as a

Inside the eye of category 5 #HurricaBeryl, 4th mission from the #53wrs #wc130j. We will continue missions all the way until landfall and if it emerges into the #gulf we’ll continue until landfall again. Eye was pretty impressive stadium effect today at peak intensity. Hurricane Hunters

#Beryl is still packing a punch. We were stuck in the soup all day. Every radar blip in the northern half was rough. Went from an open eyewall to fully closed as it approached Jamaica with a really nasty NE eyewall. Got hail the last two passes. This thing is a fighter. Hurricane Hunters

#Beryl continues to live on. 2nd to last Hurricane Hunters mission. Much better on satellite & radar. SLP continues to deepen & winds will most likely begin to increase during this mission. Wouldn’t be surprised to see it upgraded during this mission. #Texas

Awesome day in Biloxi #Mississippi. Thanks, Lee, for your great hospitality at Ground Zero—& big thumbs up for all you're doing to revitalize city's historic downtown. 👊 Also great to see Hurricane Hunter Ryan Rickert. (Lunch conversation was Cat-5 hurricane nerdout.)

Off to mess with Texas 🤠✈️ We will continue our mission collecting data from #TropicalStormFrancine for forecasters from Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas. Shoutout to everyone who works hard to keep our mission going wherever it takes us. #ReadyNow
