I'm really tired of this wind

What is this, event #4 with wind gusts 50-60mph?

Sure.

Not like it was in the mid 80s and a severe weather outbreak the other day or anything

It's been awhile since Central Missouri experienced conditions like we did Tuesday night.

Volume ⬆️ to hear the roar of the wind #mowx #Blizzard2025

Time for a throwback to the first real “structure chase” of my career. Before this it was never something I even knew to look for, but now it is usually a high priority target. 5-16-21 Earth, TX

I’ve partnered with #Mizzou Meteorology & @ABC17Stormtrack to create a calendar supporting the Mizzou Meteorology Club!

It features my photos, weather history, and almanac data. Available soon at Hy-Vee in Columbia & Jefferson City! DM me for orders if you’re not local! #mowx

Finally got around to editing my photos of C/2023 A3 from the 14th!

It was a spectacular showing and makes me nostalgic for when I first got into photography and was capturing Neowise (poorly) in rural Iowa!

Welcome to all the weather folks who made the jump.

I've created a starter pack for #WxSky of stormchasers, meteorologists, & photographers. If you'd like to be on or off the list let me know.

You can follow all these with one click or pick and choose.

🎉PUBLISHED and open access: check out my latest paper on cell mergers and storm interactions here:
journals.ametsoc.org/view/journal...
Can the positions of nearby cells/mergers help us discriminate between tornadic, non-tornadic, and hail-producing supercells? We find evidence for "yes".

I'm still amazed by my most recent tornado sighting! I'm sitting at work in rural ND, quick glance out the window, and see a funnel cloud reaching down. It shortly touched down and stayed OTG for nearly 10 mins slowly drifting east.

I guess I didn't have to chase, the storm came to me!

Two periods of record-breaking tropical cyclone activity, each one marked by historic category 5 hurricanes.

In between, a record-breaking dearth of tropical activity.

The 2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season sure threw us a curveball.

I think almost everyone following me so far knows me from the Other Place. But if you’re new, hello!

I am a mesoscale/outlook forecaster at the NOAA/NWS Storm Prediction Center. Basically, I let you know out to 8 days in advance if tornadoes, hail and damaging winds may be headed your way. ⛈️🌪️🌬️

Hi, I am Joe!

I'm a Met major at #Mizzou graduating in Dec! I chase on ocassion, talk about winter too much, & take great photos but never edit them (I have 2 TB of raw photos and maybe 50 edited files). Expect mostly weather talk, sprink of IRL stuff, and a rare dash of current events #WxSky
