Might be the closest things we get to something resembling a hurricane this season in the Atlantic. (It's a Nor'Easter but with a wonderful spiral-like structure, similar to a tropical system in appearance).

Beautiful depiction of a mesohigh from an MCS passing through eastern Oklahoma this morning. Just lightning in the distance here in Norman, but maybe some rain coming through soon.

“We didn’t predict this heat.” This heatwave was well predicted by meteorologists a week ahead. With respect, what the Captain likely meant was they didn’t prepare properly for this extreme event. That is a different issue. But don’t put this on meteorologists. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/03/w...

It's now official. The Board of Regents has voted to approve my promotion to Full Professor in the School of Meteorology starting in July 2026. It's been an incredible journey through my science career thus far, and I am looking forward to what the future holds.
