Evolution of a near-surface velocity couplet during tornadogenesis near Moore, OK tonight

Hmmm i have a headache. I think I drank a bit too much.

I’m making broccoli and trader joes chicken teriyaki over slightly salted rice tonight because it’s a comfort meal.

This is Viides. He's having a lot of feelings today, and none of them are subtle. 13/10

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary. Catch me at jbr.bsky.social what a shame.

Well. That's not good.

We're still working out a couple kinks in the pre-download system for Path of Exile 2 Early Access on PC, but it should be ready very soon. In the meantime, here's a sneak peek into our office!

David Fowler That's why I'm so happy that snipping tool in windows 11 can extract text - so handy

Recon finding FL winds of 55 knots and SFMR of 51 knots. #Chantal seems to be a moderate tropical storm at this point.

Y’all, when it rains a lot, it floods. It’s always been that way. Flooding has existed as long as rain has. It can destroy homes, wreck communities, and take lives. That’s why we’ve built warning systems. That’s why I do what I do. But lately, there’s a rise in conspiracy

Looks like the KMLB radar is back! You can see some curved bands trying to form with the disturbance east of Florida (guessing it'll be an invest here soon). Something to watch is if afternoon convection over land causes the convection over water to collapse, like happened

A little wrinkle in #Erin's forecast. An upper ridge over the southeast US has trended east and stronger, pushing an upper trough Erin's way. This could induce some shear over it as it approaches the West Atlantic. It appears mostly upper level though, so a stronger storm may be

A yearly reminder with TS Erin in the picture... The trend is turn north and avoid FL, potential landfall at least 10 days out. Not to worry, but check forecast daily. Rely on NHC, local NWS. No secret models, data, or Guru forecasters exist that they haven't considered.

For my senior project, I've been making a model that forecasts the short-term probability of Convective Initiation. It's not available to the public yet, but I plan on open-sourcing it and making a real-time product using this model sometime in the near future.

@JBr Snapdragon Why would you make me generate such cursedness?
