A view out the backseat right window looking out at a double rainbow over choppy water at lake lavon in Collin County, Texas. The lake is a dark green, a bit of pastel blue sky on the horizon and light gray clouds in the rest of the image. View out the left window at the other side of the double rainbow and bridge. This one is a bit more dramatic with tree stumps poking out of the lake and the side of the sports suv and a waterfall of water coming from the sky.

Hello wee wall cloud. SW of Sudan.
A sharply defined, low-hanging cloud feature extends horizontally from a larger cloud mass in the right half of the image, resembling a possible developing wall cloud. The lighting is dramatic, with sunlight beaming through the upper left, casting rays across a deep blue sky. Below, a two-lane country road runs through open green fields toward the horizon, with a small building and trees in the background. A slightly wider view of the same scene. The cloud base still features a tapered, horizontal structure—dark and smooth—hinting at early storm organization. Sunlight pierces through gaps in the upper-level clouds, casting gentle shafts of light downward. The terrain is flat, green, and typical of the Southern Plains, evoking classic storm chase imagery. A panoramic-style view showing the full updraft tower of the developing storm. The upper cloud tops billow upward with bright backlighting, forming crepuscular rays (sunbeams) that fan dramatically across the sky. The same dark horizontal lowering near the base of the cloud sits centered just above the horizon. The scene is peaceful yet anticipatory.

Shout out to Levelland fire dept! I called them at 3pm and they were kind/helpful and posted this already! South Plains College was also very helpful (Google and AI results list SPC as FEMA shelter). The levelland police dept didn't answer after I called 4 different non emergency police extensions.

🚨You are not safe in a trailer home during a tornado🚨 If you live in a trailer, call your local fire department to ask where shelters are set up during severe weather. Your life is worth it. You matter. Please don’t wait.

Rainbows for Pride!😊
A full arc of a rainbow stretches across a clearing sky after rainfall. The foreground shows a wet road and a red brick school building, while scattered clouds and hints of blue sky break through above. Power lines cut across the upper right of the frame. A striking mix of storm and sunlight plays out over a city street. On the left, dark storm clouds roll in above a school building and fenced football field. In the center, a shaft of sunlight illuminates rain falling in the distance, with a faint rainbow emerging near the trees. On the right, cars travel down a wet road under partly clearing skies, while power lines stretch diagonally overhead.

Some pics of a funnel cloud south of Abilene on Thursday. This slow moving cell took it's time traveling south which was perfect to see it from all different angles.

Looking north towards Buffalo Gap, located east of Wingate, Texas.

05/29/25
A dark, low-contrast tornado emerges from the base of a supercell thunderstorm over a tree-lined hill in the distance. The funnel appears narrow and vertical, descending fully to the ground, partially obscured by rain and haze. The foreground shows dry grass and a barbed-wire fence under a heavy sky, capturing the tension and power of a tornadic storm in the rural landscape. A large, low-hanging cloud base dominates the sky above a distant tree-covered ridge. A broad, bowl-shaped lowering reaches close to the ground, partially shrouded in haze and heavy precipitation. The ambient light is dim, casting a moody tone over the rural field in the foreground, where a single leaning fence post adds depth to the scene. The structure hints at tornadic potential but lacks clear visual confirmation of ground contact.

Breathe in the calm between storms.

Sound up for relaxation🥰

Out working with a broken window so no chasing though got a cool pic of storms up in OKC area. Pic taken in Saginaw, TX on 05/17/25.
A large industrial grain facility stands under a bright blue sky in Saginaw, Texas. Bold black lettering on the concrete building reads “WELCOME TO SAGINAW” alongside a painted Texas flag. Puffy cumulus clouds tower in the background, hinting at developing thunderstorms. A railroad crossing sign, utility pole, and grassy roadside complete the foreground, emphasizing the rural-industrial character of the scene.

A bit of a spooky moment during a last min chase a few weeks ago at the Red River near Nocona. This was a confirmed warning though I didn't see a tornado. 04/19/25

A tale of two months. October 2024 was the second driest October on record. November 2024 was one of the wettest Novembers on record. 🌵☔

Nothing beats watching dogs play with their ball🥹🥰
Shitzu looking all adorable with one paw slightly raised and a purple paw in her mouth making one eye be covered with her furry cheek. She is white, Grey and brown. Large brown and black doggo laying on the ground on his side with one ear up pressed against the ground. His legs are sprawled out and he has a green tennis ball in his mouth.

Went up through Mckinney and Bonham -- heavy rain and wind. Followed a nice shelf cloud through the metroplex and then went back through Gainesville for a nice sunset. My dad has all the pic/vid of in storms and hopefully shelf cloud -- in his 70s and not so techy. Got these when he drove😄
Gainesville Texas at a busy intersection during sunset. A mix of light and warm grays, blues and gold. The horizon has a soft gold glow and the low, gray and dense stratus clouds create a rippling effect across the sky. Wide open highway 82 in between Sherman and Gainesville, Texas, under an expansive, overcast sky with thick, layered stratus clouds stretching across the horizon. The clouds have a textured appearance, with subtle variations in gray and hints of blue, creating a moody, atmospheric scene. The road leads straight toward the horizon, flanked by open fields, a few scattered buildings, and trees. Power lines run parallel to the road, adding a sense of depth, while a soft, warm glow from the sunrise or sunset peeks through a narrow gap at the horizon, contrasting with the cool tones of the cloudy sky.

Azle aread around 13:00 today. Just some brief showers in Tarrant county today.
Train crossing lights next to a sign saying do not stop on tracks. Just after the tracks are red lights. The sky has bubbly dark clouds and the horizon is bright.

Finally some cloudy skies and drizzle here in N TX. Rural mornings and city afternoons.
It is a gloomy grey sky day around North Texas with some drizzle. An empty road with a double yellow line in the middle. The road goes flat until it reaches the horrozon where there is a steep incline at a hill. Both sides of the road are lined with older looking telephone lines and small trees and shrubbery. A gloomy Dallas city skyline from below. The picture was taken on Elm Street. The iconic Majestic Theatre sign is visible on the right side, and the comerica bank building on the left side. Traffic is seen below with a vehicle featuring a 'Beto' bumper sticker. A bus is also on the right side of the street.

My head is so full of pros and cons lists this week -- still indecisive. Only thing that got me out of the loop was a nice sunset and rain in the forecast.
A nice and warm day with scattered clouds back lit by the setting sun. The sun is shining through an opening in the clouds at the horizon and sending visible rays through it.

Reminder to vote and enjoy the sunset😊❤️

A United States flag standing on a hill that takes up the bottom portion of the photo. The upper portion of the photo is mainly a blue sky but behind the flag are streaks of clouds glowing gold and orange on the bottoms from the sun setting.

19 years ago today, Hurricane Wilma struck Florida after a long Caribbean trek.

This loop of recon-derived flight wind speed shows its eyewall replacement cycle & transformation from a tiny but extremely powerful hurricane to a very large and fast moving storm:

Whether NYC records its only rain-free calendar month in its entire records (1869-present) will come down to literally the last minute — a cold front is expected to cross the area around midnight on Halloween with scattered showers possible:

This would actually be a fun exercise for a synoptic meteorology class — give a blank topographic global map, and have students label multiple locations they expect to be the snowiest on average & explain why from a synoptic-dynamic-global climatology perspective.
