Will a Tornado Hit NYC?
It's happened just a few times in the last century, and all but one have been an EF-1 or weaker.
But the city's urban landscape isn't stopping tornadoes — it's only a matter of time before the next twister🌪️

Did you know that Hurricanes can be retired?
In 2024, Beryl, Helene, and Milton unleased fury in the Atlantic. They now live in infamy - as their names will never be used again.

Where have all the EF-5 tornadoes gone?
It's been nearly 12 years since the last EF-5 touched down in Moore, Oklahoma. Plenty of devastating tornadoes have struck since, but none have received the highest-possible rating.
What makes EF-5s so elusive? @willcanowx.bsky.social explains.🌪️

The Tri-State Tornado happened ONE CENTURY AGO today.
The twister still holds many prominent records, including the deadliest tornado in U.S. history.
But was it one tornado, or multiple?

Their discussion warns that a "volatile combination of kinematic/thermodynamic parameters will support potential for long-track, EF3+ tornadoes"

🟣 When a HIGH RISK is issued, it means the atmosphere is primed for a dangerous outbreak of severe weather. Tornadoes, giant hail, and destructive winds are all on the table. @willcanowx.bsky.social explains.

You’ll notice much of the Northeast is in drought, but parts of Long Island are not.
That’s thanks to heavy rains last week. So…why the fires today?
Although one rain storm restores some moisture, it does not remove all the dry & dead vegetation that is wildfire fuel. #nywx

Compiled radar imagery of the Kentucky #floods on February 14th, 2025.
Rounds of heavy rainfall, combined with rapid snow melt and swollen rivers, lead to the catastrophe.
Nine people have died, 1,000 have been evacuated, and searches continue.

Models did a great job of holding it off until past our flight, which clearly verified.
About 25 cm of snow on the ground here will become 40+ cm with this next storm.
