Beast of a supercell heading into West Virginia with a huge TBSS and sidelobe spike.

These are so good. You're super talented and I love seeing what you come up with!

Impressive EFI signal this far out as well.

Oof. That’s really bad. Social media really brings out the worst in people.

You're probably not looking for one... but if you are... The Rest is History is amazing.

That is a good point. Thanks for responding!

I was shocked at how often the atmosphere was so easily pumping out beautiful dendrites day after day after day. Certainly wasn't upset about it!!

@professorpowder.bsky.social Just returned from 5 days in Niseko and I was astounded at the snowflake quality (and the skiing!). Does the presence of sea salt as ice nuclei from the Sea of Japan in any way improve snowflake/dendritic production?

I am heartbroken for my NWS colleagues today. Working in the weather field is a calling many of us feel in our bones. We are drawn to the power and beauty of the atmosphere and joined in a desire to help and serve others. To everyone affected, I am sorry.

High probability for excessive snowfall rates later this evening. Up to 2" per hour kind of rates around midnight for parts of Connecticut. Not a big storm but most of what we get will fall in a short window.

Storm Eowyn is a beast tonight as it heads toward Ireland.

Ryan @ryanhanrahan.bsky.social · 22/01/2025

Yeah I was watching it leading up to the event and it struck me as odd and I couldn't find any explanation in the ECMWF literature.

Ryan @ryanhanrahan.bsky.social · 22/01/2025

We were talking about this the other day. What's with SOT of zero in the southern zone? Is it because M Climate for 24-hour snow is 0" near and south of MSY so SOT isn't computed?

The Florida state snowfall record appears to have fallen. From Molino, FL. Passed along by NWS Mobile.

The northern mismatch makes sense I think... most members but the ones that do show something extreme. The southern mismatch I think is an issue with M Climate = 0" so it's not computing a SOT?

Not sure how often such climatologically extreme scenarios happen - record-setting <942mb low off Ireland contrasted with a record-setting >1064mb high over Kazakhstan this coming Friday:

Ryan @ryanhanrahan.bsky.social · 20/01/2025

Yeah it's weird to see Houston with an EFI of 1 and SOT of 0. Seems like it must have to do the M-Climate for Houston for 24h snow being 0"? Maybe @alexlamers.bsky.social has an idea.

Ryan @ryanhanrahan.bsky.social · 20/01/2025

What's the deal with the displacement of the high SOT values from the higher EFI values? Like the EFI >8 in N LA with EFI <0.5?

Ryan @ryanhanrahan.bsky.social · 20/01/2025

Just incredible. Congrats New Orleans!

Radar and infrared heat signature from the Palisades Fire are indicative of continued high intensity of flames. Unfortunately, it looks like a new wildfire has started near Altadena. Winds will worsen overnight. Awful awful awful scenarios unfolding.

The model spread through the end of this week (days 3-5) has massive ramifications for the Northeast this weekend. Complex evolution, with high ceiling on impact. I don’t envy those forecasting for this timeframe.

I didn’t realize there was a human over the loop component!

Need to recognize where humans add value… and where they don’t!

Ryan @ryanhanrahan.bsky.social · 28/12/2024

FWIW, at least locally the Weather Company's forecast output beats pretty much everything - including the NWS and NBM - for temperatures and POPs D1-D7. I think this is fairly similar in other parts of the country too.

Heading to Aspen 1/12. Please keep the snow coming!

Forecasting 1F at BDL tonight which would be the coldest night of the year! This will be the coldest night since February 4, 2023 (when it was -9F)!

The low level jet has shifted east and with it the damaging wind threat is quite a bit lower here in CT. Some scattered power outages but overall it doesn't look like too big of a deal.

Ryan @ryanhanrahan.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

Nice looking wind signature for tomorrow in Hartford with 56 knots at the top of the mixed layer!

Obsessively checking model data before a ski trip is exhausting. At least @professorpowder.bsky.social has made some awesome graphics for it.

Ryan @ryanhanrahan.bsky.social · 10/12/2024

Quite the low level jet overhead Wednesday PM. Strength of the low level inversion still a bit of a question but 50 knot gusts certainly seem possible for much of CT.
