For reference, here's the 21Z HRRR forecast for that location overlayed on top.

The biggest feature request from me would be to be able to change surface parcel properties.

I’m often asked β€œdid you see the storm over X - what’s going on?” I would then scramble to one of the many wx sites to make a sounding. What if there was a site that specialized in soundings?

Look no further…announcing the beta launch of illiniweather.web.illinois.edu/skewt-intera...

Feedback plz!

my local park is full of hundreds of snow sculptures and someone has been adding museum labels

For those who are not meteorologists.. This is bad for Colorado. Hey New York, can we have some snow?

Map of CoCoRaHS 24-hour snowfall observations on the morning of February 23, 2026, around New Jersey/NY/CT. It shows several observations of over 20" of snow.

The same map, highlighting one of the observations on Long Island that says "Gauge is buried under snow drift. Can’t get to it. Average depth of snow 19” "

storms like this are where CoCoRaHS observers really shine. There's truly no other way to get this density, quality, and richness of snowfall data!

Want to see how much snow you got compared to the station's period of record? Check out this #Python notebook I made using @NOAA data.

These are the before shots. Depending on what model you believe our cabin outside of Leadville Colorado could see well over a foot of snow in the next 72 hours. And boy do we need it. Bare ground at 10,000 feet in deep winter = not good.

What the National Center for Atmospheric Research means to the atmospheric sciences Born out of a time of great need for the federal government, NCAR plays a role with few analogues.

Great piece out today in Physics Today on historical origins, contemporary relevance, & fundamental irreplaceability of the National Center for Atmospheric Research, which remains at imminent risk of dismantling for partisan political reasons.

As a Dune fan (all the books!) this is both amusing, sad and deep.

Don’t need dual-pol/CC to tell us if these returns are meteorological or not. The T/Td spreads say enough. Can confirm that this is a fire NW of Lake Okeechobee via visible satellite.

PyBurgers v2.0 | Jeremy A. Gibbs Announcing PyBurgers v2.0 I’m excited to announce the release of PyBurgers v2.0. PyBurgers implements direct numerical simulation (DNS) and large-eddy simulation (LES) for studying Burgers turbulence,...

I finished my new version of PyBurgersβ€”a high-performance solver for the 1D stochastic Burgers equation with DNS and LES capabilities. It's a nice playground for students and educators to learn about numerical methods, test and prototype SGS models, and study turbulence statistics. πŸ§ͺ🌊

Mental health in the Atmospheric Sciences at @ametsoc.org . Great session so far. One of my favorite tidbits so far, and I am paraphrasing: "In case you have not noticed, it does not matter where you are, its TOUGH in the water weather enterprise right now..." Truth.

If you parent a college student, could you pretty please with sugar on top ask them to stop using ChatGPT to email their professors? These emails are driving us slowly bananas.

@nws.noaa.gov Director Ken Graham presented on NOAA’s modeling grand challenge at #AMS2026 this morning. He announced that the NWS is moving to MPAS as its modeling dynamical core, with his #1 moonshot goal being a global, fully coupled 3-km Earth prediction system using MPAS.
