Huge thank you to Brian Barjenbruch and the rest of NWS Omaha for having me back at the office to present my research from my student volunteer position last summer! I’m so thankful for all of your help with this project and for really getting me interested in research with operations.

Monsoon season finally arrived to Vegas today! Hoping to learn some more to better forecast and understand these storms while I’m still in town.

Got to make my first weather graphic yesterday for some more record setting heat here in Vegas, hoping it’s just the first of many! On a completely unrelated note, I got to see Oppenheimer this weekend and it’s definitely fighting with Inception as my favorite Nolan film.

Been a bit since my last post as I haven’t seen too much weather over the past few months! Iowa came through on Monday though, and I got this photo of lightning over the Iowa State bridge as storms rolled through. Looking forward to chasing tomorrow as well! #iawx #IowaState

Was not expecting to see our only tornado of the day after dark while driving to set up for tomorrow. Hoping that everyone is ok.

Y’all, I just discovered this epic structure/tornado/lightning combo in my timelapse frames. So excited about this shot from 5/23 in Nebraska!

One of my great meteorology friends who worked for the NWS for less than a year got the email today. Despite his excellent work feedback and satisfactory marks, he was let go because of our INEFFICIENT government cuts to NOAA. SPEAK UP AGAINST THIS NONSENSE. #wxtwitter #NWS
