Supertyphoon Ragasa now fixed at a mind-blowing 922 hPa/140kts and displaying structure indicative of this extreme strength. IR is making me think of that famous "skull" image from Matthew

Textbook rapid intensification ongoing with Typhoon Ragasa in the WPAC. Meteorological perfection.

Got to check Devil's Throat in Cozumel off the bucket list yesterday - incredible dive.

Somehow, I managed to already craft a quick video from today’s tornado intercept near Sauk City. One of the closest encounters with a tornado I’ve ever had.
Hope you find it as wild as I do! #wiwx #tornado

Sneaky chance for a tornado along the warm front in Southern Wisconsin this afternoon. Many convective allowing models have been advertising some UH tracks through the area. This seems like a fair notion, as gravity waves breaking down into TCU on satellite indicate instability and MKX VWP has

Some radar trickery in Manhattan this morning - tall buildings in Midtown are blacked out on lowest TWDR tilt, but looking up a tilt reveals moderate to heavy rain.

Cool to watch the 0 isodop shift from a SW-NE orientation to more N-S as the forward flank of supercell approaches KLBB.

Just a phenomenal example of a textbook tornado supercell in western Texas ongoing right now. Classic hook echo, gargantuan mesocyclone, and an extraordinarily impressive ZDR signature likely indicative of giant hail.

Last night’s CME hit well into the sleepy hours of the night. I took a swing at them, but the smoke was entirely unworkable. Guess I’ll have to keep waiting some more for October 10 skies like this.

Optimistic for chances of auroral activity across CONUS over next 48 hours. M8 flare produced impressive CME beginning at about 01:00 UTC in below loop. It's classified as a "full halo" given its expanse entirely around the sun, meaning at least some of the ejecta is heading directly toward Earth.

Extended range modeling is starting to show the first hints of activity in the tropical Atlantic this season. Weak MJO pulse likely impetus for this signal, but dynamical modeling is inconsistent with its evolution - something to watch, but chances of development are pretty low in my estimation.

24 (2001-2010) season 2 has some of my favorite writing in a TV action serial out there. So great
