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.)

After watching many sunrises over the Atlantic, I finally had the opportunity to see the sun set over the Pacific this week in San Diego. #sunset #photography

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

(2/2) The main threats are damaging winds (in excess of 70 MPH possible), tornadoes (some could be EF2 or higher) with a lesser threat of damaging hail. Have multiple ways to receive warnings today. #ncwx #severwx #tornado #wind #hail #wxtwitter

One of the keys to staying safe during the severe weather season is making sure that you have a way to receive lifesaving severe weather watches and warnings. There are many methods and tools, some of which are available with no cost or fees, that you can use to receive these important lifesaving alerts no matter where you are - at home, at school, or at work.

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.
