Beer?
now make it so I can change sfc T, Td... ie test to see what tconvective is. etc
The biggest feature request from me would be to be able to change surface parcel properties.
Iβm often asked βdid you see the storm over X - whatβs going on?β 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 furtherβ¦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. Canβt get to it. Average depth of snow 19β "
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.

A different kind of fresh tracks. 10,000 feet below Independence Pass, Colorado.
Do you know music by Ben Folds? genius.com/Ben-folds-ef.... And yes he meant Effingham but sung Effington

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.
oh so THAT's why you wore a tie @70dbz.bsky.social !
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.
Those are some superb owls.

As a Dune fan (all the books!) this is both amusing, sad and deep.
Donβt 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.
I finished my new version of PyBurgersβa 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. π§ͺπ
ok.. maybe there IS something that can unite us!
Very interesting modality here. Driven by a La-Nina year?
Perfect example of slight clues that give away AI
This is such a bad idea.
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.
I give you a Monday night cleanse...
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.

Can't be there, but @zombietrev5k.bsky.social is running the show, and has offered to give some terrible takes in my honor
#AMS2026 #DrinkingWithScientists
@nws.noaa.gov Director Ken Graham presented on NOAAβs 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.
We've got a sizable Purdue EAPS cohort here at #AMS2026. Threaded below are this week's presentations by me and students who've worked in my lab (WRRL): π§΅β¬οΈ
