I tend to use it more for explainers (supercells, hail, winter weather, etc) but still like to break it out for other weather events. I agree that 2D info is less palatable in the 3D space, but still helps get a few more eyeballs to pay attention ahead of hazardous weather IMO

Fresh augmented reality update on our overnight storm chance. Severe weather = bad. Flood threat = ...Good? Yeah, good if we all stay smart.

Preliminary timing of events, subject to change once storms have formed and we get a better idea of their progress

Avery Tomasco @averytomascowx.bsky.social · 03/06/2025

Ain't nothin' like last week, but keep your eyes peeled for severe storms LATE tonight (after midnight) primarily to the northwest of Austin. Level 2/5 risk for hail, winds, and a quick tornado. Slow-moving storms could also produce flash flooding

Great forecast, great result. I won't have to hand out any more of these water bottles this week, thank tha lord

Avery Tomasco @averytomascowx.bsky.social · 27/05/2025

Most importantly, similar rain totals occurred over the Lake Travis watershed. A combined 5,600 CFS (about 1.2 million gallons per minute) is flowing downstream as we speak. This should get LT to rise by a couple of feet at least. We'll see in a few days

SWEET SWEET VICTORY 2.31" in Austin yesterday was the biggest one-day rain total in more than a year

Plan your afternoon/evening travels around the storms. The last place you want to be in a hailstorm is in your car, stuck in traffic.

1182

Avery Tomasco @averytomascowx.bsky.social · 02/05/2025

Yes Jason, 30-50% chances the last two days inherently meant most wouldn't get storms. Today was always expected to be the main storm chance

080

Avery Tomasco @averytomascowx.bsky.social · 02/05/2025

The third and final day of severe weather this week is poised to be the most widespread & significant. Level 3 out of 5 risk in Austin for the first time in nearly a year. Storms quickly turn severe after 12 PM today with very large hail, damaging winds, and an isolated tornado possible

4397

Avery Tomasco @averytomascowx.bsky.social · 01/05/2025

WEATHER ALERT DAY - Severe storms are likely for more of us Thursday afternoon->evening. Level 1 out of 5 risk for now, but I think that will change. Very energetic atmosphere will fuel a very large hail + damaging wind gust threat 4 PM -> 10 PM tonight

3243

Avery Tomasco @averytomascowx.bsky.social · 29/04/2025

Similar story on Thursday afternoon and evening, but the potential is there for an MCS (mesoscale convective system) to roll through. Friday is the peak of this week's storm chances courtesy of a "cold" front dropping in. Some strong/severe storms not out of the question

0141

Avery Tomasco @averytomascowx.bsky.social · 29/04/2025

Storm chances are back on the menu, but the first course is... questionable. Classic conditional setup on Wednesday afternoon/evening. If updrafts can pop through the cap, a few intense storms could drop big hail & gusty winds. If the cap holds, nothing burger.

A project months in the making finally hits the airwaves TONIGHT on CBS Austin. "Where's our Water?" focusses on our water troubles as our climate changes and our population booms. It airs at 6:30 PM with a full townhall featuring local leaders streaming online at 7 PM

Avery Tomasco @averytomascowx.bsky.social · 22/04/2025

A necessary ingredient for better storm chances comes with an unfortunate side effect: Mosquito population boom for the next ~6 months. The swamp is rolling in which will keep morning/evening temperatures firmly in swarmin' territory. Apologies in advance

2253

Avery Tomasco @averytomascowx.bsky.social · 18/04/2025

No major changes to our weekend storm plan. 🔹Saturday: Just a 30% chance for rain/storms, and severe weather is unlikely 🔹Sunday: 12-7 AM storms in the Hill Country with hail/wind threat. If they hold together, could be stormy near Austin between 7-11 AM

1252

Avery Tomasco @averytomascowx.bsky.social · 17/04/2025

Long story short, it won't be a washout of an Easter Sunday. Morning plans could be pushed inside, but there should be plenty of dry time in the afternoon.

0120

Avery Tomasco @averytomascowx.bsky.social · 17/04/2025

Windy through Friday, stormy by Sunday? Not for everyone, but it's our best chance in a LONG time. NW Texas storms will make a run at the Hill Country late Saturday night with some hail/wind in tow. What's left of those storms could run into I-35 before lunchtime Sunday. 50% chance overall

1170

Avery Tomasco @averytomascowx.bsky.social · 14/04/2025

Another melancholy cold front day in Central Texas. Spike in temps ahead of it, briefly closer to average in its wake, and not a drop of rain along the way. I'm tired of this, grandpa

Did some data digging and the results are nausea-inducing. Since the start of 2022, only 9 months (!!!) have produced above-average rain in Austin. That's a 29" deficit, nearly a full year's worth of rain. It's worse in the Hill Country where the deficit is 30-40"

4322

Avery Tomasco @averytomascowx.bsky.social · 10/04/2025

Happy cold front day I guess. It'll help a *little* with lower humidity and highs in the 80s Friday and Saturday, but today, it's public enemy #1. Compressional heating ahead of it pushes highs to the 90s, and stale air will accumulate ozone through early this evening. AIR QUALITY ALERT in effect

Heads up, central Texas. Extreme fire danger tomorrow. Not sure if OP @averytomascowx.bsky.social was planning to post this here as well, so I'm passing it along.

Screen cap of meteorologist Avery Tomasco social media post: "Have not seen a wildfire setup like this for Central Texas in many years.
Folks, this is as bad as it gets tomorrow. Howling winds, extreme drought, dormant fuels following extreme cold in late February... Be extremely vigilant and mindful of anything that could spark a fire"

Coldest morning in more than a year has arrived. Life-threatening wind chills now dropping to/below zero. My recommendation: Wear every layer you own, like Randy from "A Christmas Story"

4502

Avery Tomasco @averytomascowx.bsky.social · 19/02/2025

Pssssst. It's snowing in Austin and much of the I-35 corridor. Sneaky, saturated low-level atmosphere behind the cold front is what is producing these flurries. It's mostly falling as needles, a specific kind of snow formation unique to this atmosphere.

3559

Avery Tomasco @averytomascowx.bsky.social · 19/02/2025

Brutal, brutal, brutal cold this morning. Put on every layer you've got. Single-digit wind chill temperatures already as of 5:30 AM, and we'll keep dropping through about 9 AM. Odds are, we won't get above freezing this afternoon

4386

Avery Tomasco @averytomascowx.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

COLD WEATHER ADVISORY goes into effect at midnight tonight, lasting through noon Wednesday. Very dangerous cold if you aren't geared up for it with many layers

0142

Avery Tomasco @averytomascowx.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

First look at the first of two dangerously cold nights in Central Texas. WEDNESDAY MORNING 🔹Air temps: 15-25° 🔹Wind speed: 15-25 MPH 🔹Wind chill: 0-15° B r u t a l. Genuine concern for hypothermia if you're outside for too long without the right gear

2477

Avery Tomasco @averytomascowx.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

Everything you had to do back in January. Pipes prone to freezing need to be covered. Drip a few interior faucets. Keep pets inside. Cover up outdoor plants. Protect yourself with lots-o-layers, and check on friends/neighbors/family that may need some help

1362

Avery Tomasco @averytomascowx.bsky.social · 17/02/2025

Buckle up, scallywags. Dangerous cold whips through Texas TUESDAY NIGHT. Single-digit wind chill temperatures expected Wednesday and Thursday mornings. Pets, pipes, people, plants, and pants. Please wear pants and make good choices

47111

Avery Tomasco @averytomascowx.bsky.social · 13/02/2025

February 2021 repeat? No. Impactful cold and maybe some travel issues from wintry weather? Yes. You'll need to plan accordingly as details come into better focus. Stay tuned!

3300

Avery Tomasco @averytomascowx.bsky.social · 13/02/2025

Early signs point to dangerously cold mornings (teens around Austin) and wind chill values in the single digits by next Wednesday and Thursday, and perhaps highs below freezing as well. Wildcard to monitor: Increasing odds of ice/snow on Wednesday

1292

Avery Tomasco @averytomascowx.bsky.social · 13/02/2025

It's cold today. It could get MUCH colder next week. Early heads up that our coldest temps of the season will be possible next week (Tuesday -> Wednesday) due to split in the polar vortex and strong signals for Arctic air to break loose down into Texas

4635

Avery Tomasco @averytomascowx.bsky.social · 13/02/2025

Friends don't let friends leave home without a jacket. MUCH colder this morning, gang. Near freezing on the thermometer, feeling like teens/20s on the skin.

2362

Avery Tomasco @averytomascowx.bsky.social · 13/02/2025

That was for Wednesday morning. Thursday's morning temperature on that forecast shows 34

Avery Tomasco @averytomascowx.bsky.social · 13/02/2025

33 or 34 for Austin, colder north and west of the city

Avery Tomasco @averytomascowx.bsky.social · 12/02/2025

A lot going on in the next week. 🔹Cold front #1 arrives tonight. Wind chill in the 20s Thursday AM 🔹Cold front #2 arrives Saturday night, more of the same behind it. 🔹Cold front #3 mid-next week needs to be monitored... Could be much stronger

Avery Tomasco @averytomascowx.bsky.social · 12/02/2025

This morning's rain/storms was icing on yesterday's cake. And we ate GOOD. 1-3" along/east of I-35 produced the biggest daily rainfall at the airport in more than a year, all in what is typically the driest month of the year. Liquid gold

6 AM - Grab the rain gear! BEAUTIFUL view of radar as much-needed rain slides in. Widespread rain and non-severe storms are most likely between now and early afternoon. Some 1"+ totals are possible
