Given the primary chasers these days, every day is the most dangerous chasing day since El Reno 2013.

Oklahoma fires seen via radar from OKC. Gale force surface winds combined with sub-20 dews and receptive fuels are to blame here. Everyone stay safe!

This is unacceptable. I know Cole personally. He is one of the most brilliant severe weather enthusiasts I know, more than deserving of a position at the National Weather Service. This needs to be fixed and fixed ASAP. These layoffs affect everyone regardless of your affiliation.
I just got fired from NWS . This email is all I know. Read if you want.

Return flow overnight and this morning has been quite drastic. Latest METAR from KBTR had gale force wind gusts.
Moisture advection pretty stout and reaching a lot further north, helping to prime the atmosphere for another severe weather day shortly after a return to cooler weather here.

As opposed to other solutions from GFS/EURO, NAM has been consistent on 850mb WAA over south Louisiana on Tuesday, resulting in more FZRA/IP in the precip transition zone. NAM also has shown delayed cyclogenesis near Texas due to slower trough propagation. Worth monitoring. #lawx

For those searching for grad school options in meteorology, here’s one that may be off your radar:
The LSU coastal meteorology lab is always looking to recruit new students! You can DM me for additional questions or catch me at the #AMSStudent2025 grad school fair tomorrow!

A lot of parameters are nearing the top end of climatology across Louisiana today. 3500 J/kg of SBCAPE, Td’s near 70, and PWATs of 1.5-1.6” are all near the 95th percentile or higher for late December. Add on significant LL veering and a potent shortwave and you have problems…

30.78 inches makes Helene one of the most prolific rain events ever recorded from a TC in the interior US. The only other hurricane to drop comparable rain in Appalachia- Camille- killed 150+ in Nelson County, VA. Helene dropped such rain over a considerably larger area.

I’m presenting my Master’s research, which covers impacts of the SAL on tropical instability parameters and Puerto Rican rainfall, at AGU24 this afternoon from 1:40 to 5:30 at board 2118 in the poster hall. Hope to see y’all there!

The 2024 Atlantic Hurricane season is over. Here’s how it panned out, brought to you by The Chart™️.
Very busy season west of 80W, less so in the open Atlantic (aside from the region near 20N, 45W). Impressive to see 18 TCs given the lack of disturbances and unfavorable peak season background state.
