Seven concurrent tornado warnings in the DC/MD/VA/WV area. Big night! 🌪️ #dcwx #vawx #mdwx #wvwx

Plus another!

(Checks forecast/models): Wow, a 5% RISK DAY in Virginia, time to grab my gear and…

(Friday work stuff) Well, I’ll just take off a little early and drive down to…

(Remembers it’s a Friday afternoon in VA terrain/traffic): Nah, I think I’m good, if it wants to come, I’m here.

Just bought a copy based on this, thanks!

Just finished @matthewcappucci.bsky.social’s “Looking Up: The True Adventures of a Storm Chasing Weather Nerd” while on my Midwest chasecation. It’s a great, endearing read with a lot of infectious enthusiasm for all things weather. Hope to run into you chasing one day, Matt!

Happy to announce that my #EZStormReport iOS shortcut now support Bluesky and other social networks! All it takes is one additional step to paste, and NWS office X accounts are replaced with hashtags. Try out the easiest way to share severe weather reports on social media! Link in bio.

Structure day in New Mexico and Texas. ☁️ 🌩️ #NMwx #TXwx #WxSky

(Minus the NWS office account @-ing for obvious reasons, sadly)

This week’s chasecation goals:
1. Tornadoes
2. Porting x.com/EZStormReport to BlueSky as well

Yessir!

Love the site!

A map of tornado warning polygons in the U.S. since January 1st.

We've seen 513 tornado warning polygons in the U.S. so far this year as of 5:30 p.m today. Almost half of them have been issued since Friday.

More proof that my colleagues at NWS SPC are the best in the business. Their service is no less than vital.

Congrats on retirement, looking forward to the newsletter!

I really hope after tonight that more Americans will appreciate, understand, and value the significant and lifesaving work done by the National Weather Service, and NOAA in general.

It’s getting there, slowly. It’s a shame it has taken this long, though.

Categorical High Risk day while I’m flying back from Europe 😬

Two rounds of severe weather are likely, which is concerning.

We'll have rotating supercells with STRONG tornado potential work across Louisiana and Mississippi this afternoon.

Stay aware!

December 10-11th, 2021:

The worst December outbreak in US history impacted the Midwest and Mid-South. 24 of the 71 confirmed twisters were significant (EF2+). Several dominant multi-state supercells were responsible for intense tornado families. 92 people were killed.

Our son of the same age has a similar aversion to a neighbor’s previous werewolf costume; was asked several times if “there’s going to be a werewolf” at various parties and events this weekend.

Success! Thanks again for the great service!

Sadly missed out on a good shot while stuck in traffic, but managed this at least. The first tornado I had ever seen, and one of two I got to see that day!
