Ready for more "visible" #weather satellite images? The #noreaster continues to overstay its welcome across the NE U.S., apparently waiting for better views of the Fall #foliage, as coastal wind and flooding impacts continue. The good news is it will be departing tomorrow.

An amazing taste of Fall #weather in Riverview, #Florida before sunset this evening on the Alafia River. A return to near 90F temps and more humid conditions expected mid to late next week!

The center of circulation of the #noreaster is being sampled by the NWS radar on Long Island as of 7:15 PM ET and Doppler velocities are aligning with recent measured wind gusts in the vicinity on land. #weather

When you’re looking at what is thought to be a seagull resting in an open parking spot in South Tampa, you zoom in from afar with your iPhone camera and…well, you realize it is not a resting seagull.

The center of low pressure associated with the #noreaster continued to be exposed with an isolated burst of convection on the northern edge of the central vortex this Saturday afternoon, as seen nicely in this satellite animation. Significant impacts continue ahead of this storm.

Incredible images this Friday morning, including sunrise dividing the powerful eye of Hurricane #Polo over the eastern Pacific with 160 mph maximum sustained wind. Polo is forecast to track west and northwest this weekend and curve toward Baja and into Mexico early next week.

The first taste of the Fall season will be pushing southward into Florida starting tomorrow and lasting through the weekend, as a powerful low pressure system, or "Nor'easter" develops off the Mid Atlantic region and tracks toward New England.

Christmas Eve is coming soon … 94 more days to be exact … and this was a fun blast from the 2016 past when I was working Christmas Eve with the talented Marc Austin at the Tampa Bay Area Office of the National Weather Service! 📡🎅🏻🦌 www.facebook.com/share/v/1MRi...

For the Skew-T enthusiasts of weather data analysis, the upper-level low pressure system that passed from east to west across FL the last few days, the passage is evident in the wind flow shifts from NE to N on Thu and Fri to SW on Sat and now SE as of this Sun morning.

Brian LaMarre @blamarre.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Heavy rain occurred across portions of Tampa Bay this afternoon, as outflow boundaries interacted with one another as an upper low pressure system started to push off the Florida west coast. The Tampa International Airport (TPA) measured 1.09 inches of rain in about :50 minutes before 5 PM!

Brian LaMarre @blamarre.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

When an upper-level, cold pocket of air moves toward the Tampa Bay area with surface temperatures near 90F, you need to watch out for… blowing snow … or, errors with folks reporting rain. Thankfully, the observer corrected it in mPING. #weather

Impressive cold pocket -10C air at 500 mb around 18-20k feet in the atmosphere will be rotating over the state today and Saturday. Although the overall storm coverage will be less than we observed over the last few weeks, a couple updrafts will have an extra kick! #weather

Tuesday satellite imagery, courtesy of WeatherFront, illustrates showers and thunderstorms developing across west and southeast portions of Texas. However, the eyes should be drawn to the three active fires near Sonora, Killleen and Clifton. 🔥👀 An excellent decision support tool for public safety.

Alaska sure does receive its share of powerful #weather. Checkout this impressive low pressure system seen on the infrared satellite imagery. This specimen was passing over St. Lawrence Island in the northern Bering Sea today. #AKwx #alaska

Views looking north on U.S. 301 in Riverview, Florida this Friday afternoon at 5:00 PM ET of towering cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds as showers and thunderstorms continue to develop across the Tampa Bay region per radar animation.

Classic setup once again for slow moving thunderstorms to develop across the greater Tampa Bay region this afternoon and evening with deep moisture and a light, easterly flow evident on the morning sounding profile.

While many other locations across Texas experienced temperatures well into the 90s and exceeding 100 degrees F in several cities, east Texas remains under the slow moving canopy of cloud cover and heavy downpours and localized flooding from #Edouard near and to the southwest of City of Lufkin, TX.

Brian LaMarre @blamarre.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

An intense rainfall corridor developed along and mainly to the right of the track of #Edouard across southeast Texas. As of Wednesday morning, a swath from near Beaumont northward toward Lufkin has received 6 to 10 inches of rain, with localized estimates of 15 to 20+ inches southwest of Jasper.

Tropical Storm #Edouard strengthening this Tuesday morning south of Lake Charles - moving toward the LA/TX border today. Note the zoomed radar imagery with velocity data and the wind max developing around 9:15 AM. Expect recon data to show a stronger storm. #lawx #txwx

Brian LaMarre @blamarre.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

The wet weather pattern will continue across much of Florida and the greater Tampa Bay region through this weekend. This setup will allow showers and thunderstorms to develop within the moist onshore flow while thunderstorms also push southward from the Florida panhandle today and Sunday.

A Tropical Depression has formed this Sunday morning from the low pressure area that has been meandering west of Tampa Bay over the past 48 hours - and will drift to the west and northwest toward the north central Gulf coastline over the next few days. Next name on the list is “Bertha”.
