An incredibly cool thunderstorm complex in the Gulf yesterday.

Oodles of lightning and some rotation.

Very neat to see @cira-csu.bsky.social imagery featured in the Hurricane Melissa report!

my goodness.

except make the new imagery not look like it was taken by a geostationary potato

Still satellite imagery of a nor'easter. This image contains the GeoColor product from the GOES-19 weather satellite from the morning of 2026-02-23.

A stunning satellite shot of a powerful nor'easter.

A bit of a lightning show tonight within a raging nor'easter.

🧐

If I had to make a pro/con list for ever moving back East... one of THE biggest pros would be experiencing east coast snowstorms.

I yearn for bands of heavy snow.

All sorts of cool, crazy things happening at the heart of a deepening nor'easter.

Found some cool clouds.

Thought you'd like them.

Super interesting lofted ash plume today on the Ranger Road Fire burn scar.

This looks 1000x better without compression so I recommend viewing here:

north atlantic, today

Into The Low.

This image contains the Day-Night Band (NCC) from the NOAA-20 weather satellite from 07:59 UTC on 2026-02-18.

The Ranger Road Fire in Oklahoma burns brightly at night among city lights.
Imagery captured early this morning by NOAA-20.

In the last twenty-four hours, a powerful winter storm has dropped between 1 to 3 feet of snow in Sierra Nevada.

The heavy snow exacerbated conditions for dangerous avalanches, especially in the Lake Tahoe region where the heaviest snowfall occurred.

A dramatic scene of dust, fire, and smoke in the Plains today.

appreciate you! ty

cool for me to use these in my video? it's just gonna be a dumb tiktok. a cloud fan edit if you will. will have your name on image.

needs a graph

hard agree

"traditional" is doing a lot of work here and can be different things fwiw.

There is 100% a gap in the market for a more traditional online/streamer national met.

But perhaps there's a bit of a oxymoron there.

This is one of the prettiest satellite loops I've seen in a long while. 😍

both performances show how smart both kendrick and benito are.

pretty wild getting two insane halftime shows in back-to-back years.

extremely different performances but both really well done

my life will never be the same after this revelation.

show off

oh mercy
