Got a water bottle full of hail SW of Johnson City, KS. Tagging @nsficechip.bsky.social just in case these are useful.

Followed this spectacular tornado from formation to demise over 20 minutes near Akron, CO. Also saw some @nsficechip.bsky.social groups out there--congrats on what must have been an amazing IOP!

Saw three tornadoes and some neat supercell structure near Hyannis, NE today. Hard to believe I was snowshoeing above treeline yesterday.

It was a great day to snowshoe up to Blue Lake in the Indian Peaks Wilderness! Even saw a horseshoe vortex and two snowshoe hares!

Interesting boundary going straight into the Lincoln supercell's inflow. Where was this during TORUS?

Supercells that maintain their intensity while their inflow is full of precip like this are fascinating.

The spread in the WoFS ensemble for this event is fascinating--some members have a lone supercell, others have nothing, still others have several storms. One interesting signal from the last few runs is that if something gets going south of the Red River, its ceiling could be especially high.
