According to NHC in its final report on Hurricane Helene, of the 176 direct fatalities caused by the storm, 95 of them were due to freshwater flooding

With the latest report of 105 killed in Texas, this event is now a deadlier flood event than Helene

An absolute tragedy

The southeast RCC had a good climate perspectives tool.

The southern RCC has built coastal normals for the ocean industry.

I could go on and on

@mattlanza.bsky.social @spann.bsky.social
The Northeast RCC operates ACIS/xmACIS, widely used by the weather and climate enterprise.

The western RCC just updated all of their maps and products, a good chunk of it in the cloud.

Midwest and High Plains RCC have a lot of great ag products

The proposed budget would eliminate funding for NOAA’s six regional climate centers. The Western Regional Climate Center monitors and researches drought, precipitation, wildfire smoke and other natural hazards in California and eight other states.

Excited to share that I've recently been promoted to Manager of Weather Presentation at @foxweather.bsky.social

I am humbled, and beyond excited to lead the dedicated team of off-air meteorologists responsible for crafting the hundreds of graphics you see on Fox Weather every day

Livid and sad hearing the news of today

A classic Southeast U.S. winter tornado outbreak is expected today

Numerous severe storms will likely produce multiple tornadoes, some of which will be strong and long-tracked.

EF-3 or even violent EF-4 tornadoes are on the table

A dangerous day ahead

Waking up this morning to the most December snow in #NYC in four years

Officially 1.8" at Central Park which is the most snow in December since 10.5" on Dec 16-17, 2020

Wow! 20" of snow in New Jersey!

This may have broken the New Jersey state record for most snow from a single November storm.

The current record, 17.5" in Dover, NJ on Nov 26-26, 1938 came during a Nor'easter that buried the entire I-95 corridor with snow

Mother nature is doing its part to help smother the Jennings Creek Fire, the 5,000+ acre fire that has killed one firefighter and sent periods of smoke directly into NYC the past few weeks

Over 7" of snow is being reported in the area around the fire so far with more on the way

Important caveat:

ERA5 is the standard reanalysis used for past weather, but can occasionally have some discrepancies. A previous bomb cyclone in a similar location in October 2021 reached 942 hPa per WPC analysis, but was noticeably weaker in ERA5 reanalysis (h/t @gdimeweather.bsky.social):

So many new followers! Nice to see lots of people joining @bsky.app! I'll try and be more active here going forward

A major winter storm, severe storms within a Tornado Watch and a legitimate hurricane all ongoing simultaneously is not something that happens every day

Pretty wild to see them all together on one map

Initial takeaway from Election Night coverage, NBC wins for the best set. It's gorgeous

On this gorgeous 79° November day in New York City, I decided to take a different, more picturesque, way home #nycferry

Quite a rain event ongoing in Puerto Rico

With 6.11" so far, today has been the wettest day in San Juan, Puerto Rico since 7.11" fell on September 20, 2017, the day Hurricane Maria made landfall
