Hello, Bluesky! After many years on Twitter/X, I'm excited to explore the community on this platform.
If we aren't already acquainted, I'm a meteorologist with a passion for mountain weather, maps, and fall foliage. You'll find that I post accordingly.

I am so glad @fisherwx.bsky.social is around to help make things better in the climate services realm.
Also, takes a load off my back, cause he's doing the heavy lifting 🤪

Good news in Asheville, the boil water notice has been lifted!!!
Those of us in Woodfin will have to wait a bit longer, but the light at the end of the tunnel is very bright.

My team is over here now, posting at @ncsco.bsky.social. Go give us a follow to stay current on all things North Carolina climate & weather.
We’re still thinking about Hurricane Helene & our friends in WNC. If you missed it - here’s our reaction from Sept.

Windy Wednesday night through Thursday for Western North Carolina. We the locals have talked a good bit about the trees that will continue to fall during a robust NW wind flow event. Here is the first of several through the upcoming winter. #helene #poweroutages #treedamage
Ensemble guidance has a highly amplified closed low traversing the eastern U.S. late next week. Moderate probabilities (40-60%) for 500mb heights ≤ the 1st climatological percentile are shown over the Mid-Atlantic. This ought to be a great setup for heavy snow in the northern & central Appalachians.

One of the biggest Helene research questions I have is "where did water flow"? Satellites allows us to isolate partial flood extents along large rivers and streams, but reconstructing the full extent is more challenging.
I've made progress on a physical solution, but ML may prove useful here.

It’s still hard to believe how quickly the water rose that morning.
I’d been checking the river every 15 minutes since 5a. Suddenly, between 8:45 no and 9, everything went to hell in a hand basket. That’s a moment I’ll never forget.

I've been so impressed by Asheville Citizen Times' coverage of Helene.

I'm reflecting on past winters this evening, and this morning came to mind. This is arguably the most pristine winter scene I've ever stumbled upon in the southern Appalachians.

I've been exploring new Python ML libraries the past couple days. This morning's experiment is with PyTorch.
I'm using a woefully underdeveloped training dataset, but it's quite a lot of fun predicting high winds on Grandfather Mtn, NC using local ASOS observations. Decent accuracy so far.
