Went to Wal-Mart in Norman today for the first time in two weeks. Everyone I saw was wearing a mask (except for one person with it draped around her chin 🙄). Two weeks ago I’d estimate 30% were wearing masks. Mask mandates work. Thank you

Now that it’s official, I am extremely fortunate and humbled to say that my NASA FINNEST proposal was selected! The proposal is titled “Satellite and Radar Remote Sensing of Tropical Cyclones to determine Microphysical and Precipitation Processes”.

Particularly concerned about this rainband training over the eastern side of Puerto Rico. These are infamous for producing excessive precipitation like in Harvey, Florence, and Sally.

Everybody meet Hadley! Hadley came right to me at the Moore animal shelter and I couldn’t put her down. She is about a year old and was at the shelter for over a month. She is the sweetest!

Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy storm chasing on occasion. But seeing videos of kids in front of catastrophic damage - people who have lost everything, saying “dominating” really puts a bitter taste in my mouth. Do better. Gain some compassion and learn to empathize.

Even in an unfavorable environment, supercells can sustain themselves. Mid-level pressure deficit on the upshear flank of a rotating updraft induces a perturbation pressure gradient force, which results in sustained ascent.

Lots of mesovortices in the western eyewall…which are typically a lot stronger than the maximum sustained winds. Yikes.

Meteorology people:
How did you get good at coding? I’m essentially self-taught and I’m continually amazed by how efficient and good y’all are at programming. Any useful tips? As a programmer who is struggling, asking for a friend…

Just saying, footage taken from a short and safe distance away from a tornado is a lot more interesting than footage captured inside a tornado, which is really not very interesting. Can we please stop being stupid and putting your life at risk?

The isentropic ascent to the north and west of the cyclone, warm conveyor belt, and dry conveyor belt are pretty amazing with this storm. An excellent case for synoptic meteorology classrooms!

Denver breaking the daily record for 500 mb geopotential height! Observed 500 mb height on the 12Z sounding of 583 dam, breaking the record of 581 dam per SPC sounding climatology. This anomalous longwave ridge over the W half of the country is producing record high temperatures.

Life is kinda wild. I went to the University of Oklahoma in 2017 wanting to study dryline convection and CI. Then Harvey happened one month later and I ended up studying radar observations and precipitation processes in landfalling hurricanes…and I love it. Keep an open mind?

Why do some people feel the need to always bash NWS meteorologists/WFOs 😭? They do amazing work. It’s easy to point the finger when you haven’t been in the hot seat. That’s all I’ll say 😅

Probably an unpopular take, but as a student, virtual conferences have been essentially useless. I miss the in-person discussions and networking, and sitting (not walking in between conference rooms) for hours on end watching recordings is unrealistic. Better days are ahead!

Quite the atmospheric river event ongoing in the Pacific Northwest. Integrated vapor transport ~800 kg/m/s and 1.41" of precipitable water observed on the Quillayute, WA sounding. This absolutely shatters the daily max of 1.03" per SPC sounding climatology.

Maybe a hot take: We should stop scaring people that are interested in pursuing a degree in meteorology. Yes, there is math, but as someone who used to struggle with math, there is help out there + eqns are only a small part of meteorology. How we apply them is what is important.
it is not easy getting a degree in meteorology
they do not hand them out for casual observations..

Not liking the 12Z Norman loaded gun sounding with 2600 J/Kg of MLCAPE and LCLs < 500 m. A potentially dangerous day ahead with multiple rounds of storms. Make sure to have multiple ways of receiving weather information/watches/warnings. Stay safe everyone.

Why do we have the National Weather Service when we can get the 7 day forecast from our phone?
Why do we have cows when we can get our milk from Safeway?
Blows my mind that local news still does weather. What are you guys doing? I can look up the 7 day forecast on my phone.

This is such a stressful time of the semester, but try and remember these 3 things:
1. You have done this before and survived. Multiple times!
2. In less than two weeks you will feel much relief.
3. You wouldn't be where you are right now if you weren't capable of succeeding.

The strong warm advection can be seen by the “S” signature on radial velocity implying veering winds with height. Also seen on the 00Z MHX sounding. In addition to some neat gravity wave-like features near Cape Lookout!

My name is Noah+I am a PhD student in meteorology. I struggle with depression, anxiety, and OCD (not just a matter of everything having to be in order and "clean"). I was in an abusive relationship which is what led me to seek help. I have been going to counseling for 3 years now

We both tried to launch a couple windsondes...one popped, one got ripped out of our hands, and one basically went straight horizontally. The horizontal component of the wind is A LOT stronger than the vertical component of the wind.
In case you’re curious what it’s like currently.

Is it just me or weather observations are far more exciting than models? I like to see and understand what the atmosphere is currently doing rather than trying to predict it far out in advance. Also you need to do the former to do the latter...

Nice example of isentropic ascent occurring to the north and west of the low. Consistent with the conveyor belt model/warm conveyor belt wrapping around the cyclone.
