So many (very smart) people still can’t grasp the implications of AI…

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but a rain gauge in east Austin (near Webberville Rd) might have picked up one of the highest rainfall rates ever recorded. 2.68" was measured in 15 minutes at COA gauge 3310. That translates to an hourly rate of 10.72"/hr

This is it. *THE* video to watch from yesterday's destructive supercell. Credit to Iskra Mahler for catching it on his drone from east Austin. Edited to highlight: 1. Wall cloud over Austin with brief tornado attempt 2. Rare capture of a microburst 3. FFD ripping into the city

This is one of the most bizarre weather maps I’ve ever seen. Parts of the Gulf Coast received more snow this past winter than many areas in the Midwest and northern plains. New Orleans recorded twice as much snow on Jan. 21 than Southwestern North Dakota saw all winter. Like…?

The morning run of the NAM 3-km shows storms and lightning around Alex Box in earnest by 6 PM LSU Baseball #lawx

Just sittin here enjoying Sunday night…..

If there’s one thing Jim Schlossnagle does best, it’s ensuring Texas’ season ends in the Regionals.

Karma’s a cruel mistress

Peak #Sahara #dust (~40 ug/m3), roughly ~5x the EPA max allowable yearly average, expected Fri-Sat in #BTR #lawx. Most recent simulations send core of dust further east #mswx #alwx #flwx. Check out dust work by LSU COMET Lab tinyurl.com/39pb4z6j LSU College of the Coast & Environment LSU Research

My condolences to anyone who’s compiling WRF and running into errors that have no solutions found online. It just likes to be frustrating man

The way our upper air pattern is setting up this summer is reminding me more and more of 2021 as we go along. I’ve had this bunch for a while, but time will inevitably tell. For now though, very good look for rainfall/moderate temps in Texas going through July/August, unfortunate

The National Weather Service has released the full damage assessment of the May 28th supercell and microburst event in Austin. Shows the approximate location of the core microburst winds of 65 to 85 mph as well as the rear flank downdraft winds of 55 to 75 mph. NWS Austin/San Antonio

It’s great to see our research being utilized for a current weather event that garners national media attention!

Latest NMME climate model mean shows cool neutral ENSO for peak season. In the Atlantic, warmest anomalies are in the subtropics, which will probably lead to stability and subsidence. Consistent with this are dry precip anomalies across much of the basin.

Faint brown hue over LSU campus after #Saharan #dust moved in last night. Current particulates in #BTR are ~3x the EPA annual standard. We know it never rains in Tiger Stadium, but there will be plenty of #dust in #AlexBox during LSU Baseball's Super Regional. #lawx LSU College of the Coast & Environment

We'll have to keep an eye on radar today for Game 2 of the Baton Rouge Regional. Scattered afternoon showers & storms are possible, though timing and coverage varies by model. ⛈️ Some storms could be strong, producing gusty winds, heavy rain, and frequent lightning. #lawx

A very subtle reflectivity signature of emissions from the BR Exxon refinery tonight. Not too uncommon that you see these show up

One year ago today man

Omaha lookin like the island of misfit toys

HEADS UP - Already a big soaking this morning, and with more storms on the way in the next 24 hours, the flood threat is ramping up. Now a level 3 out of 4 flood threat for Central Texas, including Austin. Been a LONG time since that has been issued locally #atxwx #txwx
