Let's put my photos of the above anvil cirrus plume in motion, and compare it to both an example of a hydraulic jump in a river, and to a fantastic simulation from Dr. Leigh Orf. I reached out to him and he confirmed it is likely what was captured! :) Simulation source: news.wisc.edu/scientists-g...

Farther east into the afternoon thermodynamics may gradually improve, this may set the stage for a somewhat uncommon cold season small hail event for the southeast with weak LL shear and deep, moist thermos through the HGZ, a tornado or two cannot be ruled out given frontal vorticity and stretching.

Marcus Reynolds @marcusreynold19.bsky.social · 26/11/2024

Thermodynamics will be... moist, with nearly saturated profiles and weak but sufficient lapse rates in place throughout.

Marcus Reynolds @marcusreynold19.bsky.social · 26/11/2024

The Right Entrance region weak lift and slight height falls which will enhance SW surface flow ahead of the cold front, the trailing end of a weak 850mb response will also be in place as a low deepens across the mid-atlantic. This will set the stage for long and unidirectional kinematic profiles.

Marcus Reynolds @marcusreynold19.bsky.social · 26/11/2024

A departing jet streak and sagging cold front will leave the potential for some marginal severe weather across the deep south and eastern seaboard on the 28th.

A person on a bicycle is by far the most energy-efficient among animals and machines per distance traveled relative to body weight. The bicycle is magic. www.jstor.org/stable/24923...

A graph titled "Cost of Transport" showing the relationship between body weight (in kilograms) and energy consumption for distance traveled (calories per gram per kilometer) for various animals and machines. It highlights that a person on a bicycle ranks first in efficiency.

Now that yesterday's wordle is over, I have to show what is perhaps the most insane one I've had yet. I got every single letter right on the first guess, but every one was in the wrong spot lmao.

A screenshot of my solution to yesterday's wordle. Every letter of my first guess was yellow, indicating the right letter but the wrong spot. I then solved it on the second guess.

Storm Bert now forecast by @metoffice.bsky.social to deepen to 937 hPa by 12Z Saturday west of Britain & Ireland. Per ERA5 1950-2023 maps by @burgwx.bsky.social, looks close to/exceeding (?) record minimum MSLP in November in this region arctic.som.ou.edu/tburg/produc...

Met Office surface pressure and fronts, valid 12Z Sat 23rd Nov. Storm Bert is a tight swirl of isobars due west of Scotland and south of Iceland, with a minimum of 937 hPa

A cigar shaped tornado occludes out the back of the supercell while a new tornado tried to touch down over some bluffs. Just on the Nebraska side of the border, near La Grange, WY. 06-23-23

Twin tornadoes near the NE/WY border, one occluded out the back side of the storm and the second tucked into a new mesocyclone

Though line-mean midlevel shear is a bit lackluster, low level shear winds are backed almost perfectly perpendicular. This allows for efficient development of HSI vorticies which are able to be stretched by existing low level instability.

Time for a throwback to the first real “structure chase” of my career. Before this it was never something I even knew to look for, but now it is usually a high priority target. 5-16-21 Earth, TX #wxsky #wxbluesky #photography

A black and white photo of a very striated supercell structure below billowing towers of cotton looking cumulus. A skinny tornado throws up a dust cloud beneath a lowering on the storm. In the foreground farm fields are visible with rows of sprinklers and powerlines everywhere.

Blue sky pokes in at the top left of frame next to a UFO looking supercell structure. It has stacked areas of striations and its shape makes obvious that it is rotating in the upper winds. Above the structured portion towers of cumulus erupt skyward before billowing out as an anvil cloud. In the distance behind the storm a single lightning bolt strikes in front of some mammatus clouds. The foreground is a sliver of farmland with a few outbuildings and powerlines

Sunset ignites the cloud tops of the slowly shrinking supercell structure. Bright orange and deep purple highlight wisps and puffs in the anvil, an old occluded meso is slowly choked out by the cold air to the left of the main structure. The towering cumulus have shrunk slightly and the sculpted meso has hecome much more laminar. Even as it dies a single bolt comes out of the anvil and strikes the relatively desolate farmland below. A red building is evident in the right corner and some powerlines lead out of frame to the left.

The remnants of the updraft continue into blue hour. Stars and a meteor are evident above the anvil. The anvil is illuminated and slightly pink hued by lightning within it. A now much smaller single tower of cumulus continues to churn. A farmstead sits along a telephone pole lined road in its field.
