Made my day! That rocks. And thank god it’s going to be the mpas rrfs rather than the fv3 rrfs. You can tell I couldn’t make it to AMS this year and missed some memos!

Ok REALLY dumb question isn’t HRRR on the chopping block for next year? To be replaced by rrfs? Is having the new mesoanalysis be HRRR based a sign that it’s getting a stay of execution I didn’t know about? (🤞)

The look on the Finance Manager Bro’s face when he went down the list of Premium Add On Maintenance Packages that my Ioniq5 absolutely positively will never need 🔥 Sorry pal!

You see a lot of glib analysts repeating the line that "Americans just don't want EVs" without taking into consideration that the US auto buying experience is dominated by a network of extremely ignorant, Republican car dealers dependent on the kind of maintenance that EVs don't need.

Pour one out for what may be the final instance of "getting NAM'd" whereby the NAM model gives false hope of a robust coastal low w/strong frontogenesis banding over a major metro area. It is admittedly more fun when multiple ptypes are involved. The NAM is being pushed into retirement this fall :(

Sorry to hear you were hacked but glad you’re here! Twas a good day in the Missouri valley even though we opted out of the jungle fest farther east that resulted in tornadoes

Ah yeah had high hopes for NE CO initially but the persistent mid/high clouds all morning ruled that out. Thought the theta e nose into Cheyenne wells had some hope especially as towers went up there but everything went outflow dominant very quickly. Ah well, marginal days. How long ya out for?

No this was the one that was promising for a bit near Sheridan lake. Guess just not quite enough shear to separate the downdraft from the updraft

Jack Sillin @sillin.bsky.social · 30/05/2026
This is probably when the northern ones had the most promise. A brief entirely scud lowering and then the gust front hit

Jack Sillin @sillin.bsky.social · 30/05/2026
Best shot of the day was undoubtedly when that updraft was on its way out

2x2 for sure IMO. Could also say +/-1 degree but I think the idea of referring to this as something within 1deg kind of implies a 1 degree radius which obviously isn’t what you’re showing

One of the speakers at my local event said make some noise if this is the most important election of our lives like nah man that was ‘24 and we blew it

Jack Sillin @sillin.bsky.social · 28/03/2026
I’m curious if you went to a No Kings event today (as I did!) what did you think of the speakers? Good? Inspiring? Interesting? Boring? Cringe?

It’s always warmer than modeled aloft and colder than modeled at the surface in these setups

Seems to be a stronger warm nose than modeled… what a shock haha

Some of Mamdani’s policies are good, some are bad, a few are terrible, but the way he does politics is so refreshing I would totally vote for him if I lived in NYC

Following up after a weekend of observing #Erin. The real track fell on the left side of the ECMWF Ensemble guidance envelope, but near a solid cluster of members. Only one deepmind member showed a scenario remotely similar to what actually happened.

This morning's ECMWF Ensemble forecast scenarios for #Erin (left) vs Google DeepMind (right). Which do you think provides more useful information about tropical cyclone forecast uncertainty?

12z is also a bit of a jab at those confidently saying there’s absolutely nothing to worry about. But yeah lots of overconfidence in D7+ NWP output

Hardly even need the “P” based on satellite trends IMO
