Feeling defeated today. Trump’s executive orders have obviously taken a massive hit to my field… my NWS application was tossed, summer internships I was applying for evaporated, and now I’m not even sure if I can obtain an assistantship for graduate school. I hate this timeline.

Euro needs to go take its meds for real, but seeing over a foot of snow for the first time is a nice thought.

But the fact that multiple ensembles are signaling this far out may mean another snow event for us in Georgia soon… not likely a foot… but snow nonetheless.

SPC just released a moderate risk AND 15% hatched area in Louisiana and southern Mississippi… haven’t seen reds on the convective outlook in a hot minute. 😬

Streaks of snow accumulation from last night's snow squalls are visible on satellite across Wisconsin, northern Illinois, and Indiana

+3°C sea surface temperature anomalies in Helene’s path contributed to around 20% more moisture than what would have been with climatologically average sea surface temps.

All of that moisture wrung out with orographic lift & frontal interactions was just… yikes. WNC is still in shambles 🙁

Hey folks, new to BlueSky (migrated from X) 👋🏼

A bit about me: I’m a 2024 graduate in meteorology & also geography. I’m in the middle of the applications process for both graduate school and the National Weather Service.. we’ll see which one works out first!
