You know you’re a Cubs fan when you stay up late to watch their playoff games because you believe! In a playoff run despite our pitching destroying any hope inning after inning. 🐻⚾️🧢

A huge thank you to Robin for all her contributions to this work, her mentorship throughout the project, and for being one of the best humans to work with. I am also very grateful to Roger Edwards for his guidance and support throughout the publication process.

This is especially exciting for me because it is both my first publication and my first first-author publication. I can't believe I get to say I am a published author now!

In this work, we examine ZDR column behavior in tornadic and nontornadic supercells using both observational and simulated X-band radar data. So if you're interested in how ZDR columns may evolve in the lead-up to tornadogenesis (or tornadogenesis failure), give it a read!

Exciting news! Our manuscript, "ZDR Column Behavior in Real and Simulated X-band Radar Observations of Potentially Tornadic Storms" based on my Master's research with @tornatrix.bsky.social is now published in the Electronic Journal of Severe Storms Meteorology. ejssm.com/ojs/index.ph...

Crazy hail deployment with LIFT and HailCam near Stratton, NE on June 20 where we deployed in the core of a supercell and got baseball and softball-sized hail for nearly 20-30 minutes!

Congratulations!! 🎉 So happy for you both!! 🥰❤️

Jaime Herriott @wxjaime.bsky.social · 22/05/2026

Attempted to take some still shots from my full video of the Saint Libory, NE tornado. As we and the tornado were moving fast, it was hard to get any stills that didnt blur. But the evolution is still incredible.

Impossible to top yesterday, but got a few photos of some pretty circulations and a little tornado today in Kansas.

A few shots from an impromptu chase in the our “backyard” here in Oklahoma. Largest hail we measured was 2.5 inches.

Analyzing large debris with LDR for 1st time ever in a tornado (!) & learning how vortex mergers affect tornado intensity from data I collected during the active 2024 tornado season then going out again for more 2026 tornado & hail data!

MiniCOW packs MegaPOWER! Observes birth and ingestion of satellite tornado and Fujiwara effect deflecting tornado. Tornado transitions 2x between clear eye and debris ball. Prelim data from most powerful mobile radar, 1 MegaWatt C-band storm-penetrating miniCOW in Braman, OK 🌪️

Notice how the most celebrated and successful space mission in *decades* was run by at least 50% “DEI hires”—not all white men? And not even all Americans. Maybe diversity *is* strength . . .

Illinois has a new #hail record. 🧊 This week, IBHS joined scientists at NIU to confirm the largest hailstone ever recorded in the state, using our advanced 3D scanning technology. From the March 10 storm, the stone measured 168.05 mm at its max and 93.03 mm at its minimum, weighing 557.2 grams.

They are doing really well. Although George really misses the “nature window” aka the patio door at R&D’s place. He doesn’t get chipmunks, squirrels, and rabbits on his porch here 😜

Two of my students won awards at #AMS2026! Mia Smith (@maliyah-wx.bsky.social, current URA) won an Outstanding Student Poster award in the Student Conference. Lindsey Peterson (former URA) won 1st prize in the Societal Applications Symposium student poster competition. I'm super-proud of them both!

I guess in his mind, women and ‘radical leftists’ fall into the same category — people he thinks he’s entitled to ‘force himself upon.”
