Added to #WeatherBingo board: #AtmosphericRiver!
If you live in the West, you’re likely to see the words “atmospheric river” pop up in the forecast over the next several days.
This is not a new term; in fact it was coined in 1994!
But what is an atmospheric river, and what weather hazards can you expect? Meteorologist Haley Thiem explains.

Thanks for playing along with #Minneapolis #BlueSky #WeatherBingo tonight. If you are without power and need some freezer bags with Ice packs for your food, hit me up, just threw a couple extra in the freezer now. #mnwx

Head's up #Minneapolis, Tuesday is shaping up to be a nightmare weather day, the square on the #Winter #WeatherBingo board you NEVER want to check #WintryMix meaning #FreezingRain AND #Snow, with temps going back below freezing right away, creating disasterous sidewalk conditions especially. #mnwx

That's what I was thinking, they were akin to the sun showers in the summer, brief localized downbursts with sun still shining. They need better PR people to get a better name though so they can show up on the #WeatherBingo board. I mean #Graupel #Haboob #Bombogenesis, those are cool bingo names 😜

That's #GRAUPEL! one of the best weather words ever, always fun to place that on the #WeatherBingo board.

Of all the crazy US weather happening today, I did not have a Haboob moving through Metro Chicago on my bingo card today.
Big yikes 😳 💨

Look outside right now in Minneapolis and likely elsewhere in MN toward the sun and you'll see diamond dust, essentially ice crystals forming due to extreme cold. #mnwx

Your #WeatherBingo term for today is #OmegaBlock, which will bring into full force another blast of #Minnesauna before we get our last #FalseFall, because we will get one more warm-up, at least, in October here in #Minneapolis and then #RealFall can be enjoyed.

Attention #Minneapolis, no it is not too early for #AlbertaClipper and #PolarVortex to land on your #WeatherBingo board. #mnwx #FalseWinter #1

Its a #Haboob! A fantastic #WeatherBingo word.
This looks like something you would see briefly on someone’s phone in a science fiction movie

So for those playing along at home, that's a new word to add to your #WeatherBingo board #StarQuakes. Also a great name for a Dance Troupe.

OK this is a new one for the #WeatherBingo board: "Horizontal Convective Rolls", not nearly as cool as Haboob, Graupel, Bombogenesis, but it gets a spot. #mnwx

A bit cooler today with this "Omega Block" like setup over CONUS. After today, we should finally see a period of consistent sunshine and mid-to-upper 70's! #mnwx
