Absolutely loving all of the growth today in #WxSky and beyond. To celebrate, I figured I’d post some of my favorite pictures I’ve gotten in the past couple of years!

A trend I'm watching like a hawk is Tuesday afternoon for the central Plains
GFS, NAM, and Euro all coming in much more robust with moisture return. This "just in time" moisture can be (as we saw yesterday) quite finnicky for all-hazards potential, however.

“Near historic fire weather conditions” are forecast tomorrow across much of the Southern Plains. Looks like an expansion of Extremely Critical areas northward into the Texas Panhandle, and the inclusion of a dry lightning threat in Missouri and Kansas.

Probably will march its way towards Cleveland county’s doorstep by 2-3 am as a nasty squall line. All-hazards threat possible for the OKC metro overnight.

Storms have begun the initiation process along the dryline in western and northwestern OK as the pacific cold front has begun overtaking the dryline. This is occurring a bit sooner than CAMs had predicted, which may mean ETAs closer to 12-1 AM for the OKC metro.

Incredible that our third "most important election of our lifetime" might be the one that nukes weather forecasting back to the 1980s.
It's a miracle of modern science that forecasters can see tornado outbreaks days ahead of time. And we're on the verge of throwing it away because egg prices.

Told the Thunder fans in front of me, with three minutes left in the third, that the Heat would be lucky to break 100 at that point.

Shai is the first player in Thunder history to score 40+ points in less than 30 minutes.
An organization that had Kevin Durant, Paul George, Russell Westbrook, etc. and this is the first time. Let that sink in.

Dr. T. Theodore Fujita died at the age of 78.
Dr. Fujita was a Japanese-American meteorologist whose research primarily focused on severe weather. His research and achievements in Meteorology increased our knowledge of severe storms and will have a lasting impact on this field.

This week in my Dynamics I class, we learned how to plot data from the NAM using python. While the plot below isn’t perfect, this has been such a fun experience. It’s awesome getting to learn these practical skills and it makes me want to learn even more!
