@professorpowder.bsky.social Just returned from 5 days in Niseko and I was astounded at the snowflake quality (and the skiing!). Does the presence of sea salt as ice nuclei from the Sea of Japan in any way improve snowflake/dendritic production?

I am heartbroken for my NWS colleagues today.
Working in the weather field is a calling many of us feel in our bones. We are drawn to the power and beauty of the atmosphere and joined in a desire to help and serve others.
To everyone affected, I am sorry.

High probability for excessive snowfall rates later this evening. Up to 2" per hour kind of rates around midnight for parts of Connecticut. Not a big storm but most of what we get will fall in a short window.

NBC LA on the scene as a skilled nursing facility is being evacuated ahead of wildfires. Stretchers, wheelchairs, oxygen tanks (!), etc.

Radar and infrared heat signature from the Palisades Fire are indicative of continued high intensity of flames. Unfortunately, it looks like a new wildfire has started near Altadena. Winds will worsen overnight. Awful awful awful scenarios unfolding.

The model spread through the end of this week (days 3-5) has massive ramifications for the Northeast this weekend. Complex evolution, with high ceiling on impact. I don’t envy those forecasting for this timeframe.

Forecasting 1F at BDL tonight which would be the coldest night of the year! This will be the coldest night since February 4, 2023 (when it was -9F)!

The low level jet has shifted east and with it the damaging wind threat is quite a bit lower here in CT. Some scattered power outages but overall it doesn't look like too big of a deal.

Obsessively checking model data before a ski trip is exhausting. At least @professorpowder.bsky.social has made some awesome graphics for it.

Quite the low level jet overhead Wednesday PM. Strength of the low level inversion still a bit of a question but 50 knot gusts certainly seem possible for much of CT.
