Going out on a bit of a limb here with GOES-18...
Satellite/radar composite with GOES-18 IR data instead of GOES-19. The data is very coarse and likely too cold due to limb effects from being at the edge of the GOES-West full disk coverage area. Also, the image depicts temperatures in the 80s before 10am across South Carolina and Georgia.

650,000 fireworks, you say? With *this* inversion? DC is going to be an air quality _disaster_ tonight.
HRRR sounding for Washington, DC valid 8PM EDT July 4, 2026. Zoomed in on the lower 300mb and temperatures to -10C. It shows a strong inversion just off the surface with negative lapse rates from the surface to 976mb.

Had a day off. Please stand by for your local listings.
FS-UAE window emulating an Amiga 500. It is running the Prevue Channel software version 7.3.13. The top panel shows the mid-90s Prevue Channel logo with the letters VUE within a circle. A curved line emanates from the bottom of the circle and goes around it, making an effect that looks like an eye. The line ends above the R in PRE. The bottom half of the screen is the scrolling program guide. The header shows the current time (3:32:34) to the left, followed by upcoming times (3:30 PM, 4:00 PM, 4:30 PM) each separated by large cells. There are no listings, so an error displays: "Please Stand By for your Local Listings. ER007." The date displays as Friday November 28 19125 due to a Y2K error. The Prevue "eye" logo is scrolling in from the bottom.

The generic external drive icon in macOS 26.1 beta 1 still hasn’t been updated. Beta 2, maybe? Either way, inexplicable and worrying lack of attention to detail from Apple.
Three drive icons on the macOS 26.1 beta 1 desktop: Macintosh HD, External Data, and OrbStack. Macintosh HD and OrbStack have updated icons to fit the Tahoe look and feel, while the external data drive continues to display an icon from previous versions of macOS.

@radarscope.app Howdy! Just installed 5.5 from TestFlight and it looks like the CAPE calculations still need some tweaks. Screenshot 1 is 5.5, screenshot 2 is 5.4.3 (on Mac). PW of 32mm (1.26”) is still pretty far off the SPC calculation of 48mm (1.91”) for the same sounding, too. Thanks guys!

Just a tad bit of an inversion this morning.
RadarScope screenshot depicting ducting and interference on the KCLX radar. A Skew-T log-P diagram is superimposed, showing 1,189 J/kg of CAPE and 195 J/kg of CIN (convective inhibition). The latter number helps to demonstrate the strength of the inversion contributing to the radar anomalies. (No, this is not weather modification.)

@radarscope.app Howdy y'all, weird stuff in soundings since 5.4.1. Height-based lapse rate calculations are way off or just flat out throwing NaN, and the MLCAPE display seems to be painting CAPE above the EL with inflated numbers. Shear seems to be miscalculated too. SPC included for reference.

Upon the back reads TATIS JR. in blocky yellow font with his number 23 in a heavy pink typesetting that might evoke memories of what fonts might be used in a tropical or beach location.
