Is it going to go like Opal (1995) when it hits that patch?

Just another modest looking shower that put down 3.8 inches of rain (the purple spot) over my house in about an hour.

Unbelievable footage from NOAA’s Hurricane Hunters inside the eye of Category 5 Hurricane Polo. Simply incredible.

I'd say it's even more important to find out if you like finding things out. Do you like working in a lab? Do you like coding for hours? Better to find out now than while already in grad school.

The high of 100F in Miami ties their all-time highest temperature (1895-present) and the daily average of 91F sets a new time highest on record. Welcome to your new future! H/T @wxandbiscuits.bsky.social cc: @bmcnoldy.bsky.social

The Great Miami Hurricane of 1926 made landfall in #Miami on the morning of September 18, 1926. I am publishing this post one month ahead of the anniversary to share some new wind speed maps I created, which I hope can be useful to the community as the centennial approaches.

Just have to repost this again. And, I'll confess that I never thought this could actually be done. I always thought the uncertainty and the unsteadiness of the wind field would be too much. Amazing.

Through extraordinary efforts, @windbornewx.bsky.social successfully navigated a controllable balloon above powerful Typhoon Dolphin, descended into its eye, then collected multiple vertical profiles as we circled inside its eye. A first of its kind type of hurricane data collection.

CRAZY microburst winds in northwest DC toppled trees, wires. The area from Van Ness to Cathedral Heights in NW DC was ROCKED by Tuesday's storms with many trees down, some onto cars. Chairs were blown off a roof. This video from Ari Neugeboren in NW DC resembles a hurricane.

1-minute @noaa.gov #GOESEast (GOES-19) Visible images revealed mesovortices within the eye of #Genevieve as it was rapidly intensifying to a Category 4 hurricane in the East Pacific. GLM Flash Points showed intermittent lightning activity within the eyewall.

Well someone expected something: There is a fight between the SAL and higher moisture content but GOES19 TPW values are indicating around 2" with the TUTT which will slowly work into south FL through the day and night. This will be a decent increase from the 1.74" the 12z RAOB had this morning.

Actually I don't know if it was making rain so maybe just pyrocumulus. Plumes clearly visible on radar.
