Watching TDWR data during the summer is my favorite nerd activity. Gravity waves, boundaries, HCRs, it’s all so interesting.

St. Louis response to snowstorm leaves residents saltier than their frozen streets
St. Louisans sound off on the difference between “passable” and “clear” roads.

Heading to #AMS2025? Don’t miss the WRN Symposium!
I’ll be speaking at 9:15 on Wednesday on the deep disconnects between the NWS and our most vulnerable communities. It doesn’t have to be this way.
(Also, a brief preview on the new NOEES. IYKYK)

I’m 2/2 on not being called for jury duty! I have nothing against serving, but this one would’ve been super inconvenient.
An odd one this time though, they didn’t call a single person. Very interesting!

While I pine for the days where I was in striking distance of lake effect snow, I’m grateful for any flakes (especially whatever we get from that FGEN band on it’s way down I-70). 🤤

Horrible news.
Climate change may put hazards in parts of the country that haven't seen them in decades or longer. We need to prepare and keep first responders safe.
