This is my first storm chasing season using @wxfront.bsky.social as my only mobile app. I used both it and RadarScope last year and the WF feature set has only grown since (❤️ in-app weather models and soundings). Keep up the great work! Not sponsored, I’m just a fan: apps.apple.com/app/id673915...

Two rounds of severe weather are likely, which is concerning. We'll have rotating supercells with STRONG tornado potential work across Louisiana and Mississippi this afternoon. Then a squall line with embedded tornadoes pushes toward Alabama into the overnight. Stay aware!

December 10-11th, 2021: The worst December outbreak in US history impacted the Midwest and Mid-South. 24 of the 71 confirmed twisters were significant (EF2+). Several dominant multi-state supercells were responsible for intense tornado families. 92 people were killed.

The closest I got today: a picture of the wall cloud forming on the back of the Leesburg cell that eventually spawned the Poolesville tornado. Went tornado-warned four minutes later before crossing the Potomac. #vawx

David Oxley ⛈️ 🌪️ @wxdox.com · 06/06/2024
So close to seeing the Poolesville MD tornado…if not for being in Leesburg initially and having to cross the Potomac and race the storm 😅 Lesson learned about positioning when chasing in VA/MD, plus trusting my instincts when I saw the meso recycling and should have pursued!

Regarding current #WxTwitter drama: be safe, drive and do other things within your limits (you likely know them best), and give the benefit of the doubt to everyone else in this small community, too. We’re just out here to see Mother Nature do cool stuff after all. 🌪️ ⚡️ 🌀

Recently, I’ve heard from multiple NWS offices that they rely less on Spotter Network for storm reports these days, and more on X/Twitter. Because of this, I’ve made something to streamline the process of making storm reports on X for those on Apple devices👇(1/4)
