Given the way everyone responds rationally to everything, this could cause *actual* public outrage in the next week! (The next name on the Atlantic hurricane list is...Dolly.)

Tomorrow, I will be flying to San Diego for the first time, the La Jolla area. Anyone have any suggestions for must-see, must-go spots?

It's the 15th anniversary of the tornado outbreak in North Carolina. 24 lives were lost that day in NC, including 12 in my birthplace Bertie County, where an EF3 tornado devastated parts of Askewville and surrounding communities. #OTD #ncwx #tornado

I finally got around to getting MRMS data in my work-in-progress alpha-stage dashboard. My biggest hurdle that I can't seem to get over is the colormap for IR and WV GOES images. I just can't seem to get it to look like I want.

Drone footage over Winterville, NC showing #snow as far as the eye can see. A snowstorm to remember. Officially measured just a touch over a foot at my location, with higher drifts. The biggest storm since March 1980 (December 1989 for the coast) for many parts of North Carolina. #wx #wxsky #ncwx

Working on a personal dashboard using MetPy to produce satellite and radar loops. Currently using THREDDS, but I want to know which source is better and faster to download (AWS, Google, etc)? I'm also curious about how to get the colormaps correct for the colorized ABI channels. #ncwx
