This may be the first joint convective outlook done by two Science and Support Branch meteorologists who had not previously spent time as a full-time SPC forecaster.

Kelton Halbert @stormscale.io · 13d

Today’s convective outlook brought to you entirely by the Storm Prediction Center Science Support Branch!

@pmarshwx.com with the convective outlook discussion, and yours truly with the general thunder lines.

There were no punts in the first half. Neither defense seemed to want to be there.

Arkansas vs. Ole Miss reminds me of the late 2010s Big12 …

No.

The FY 2022 Omnibus provided funds to go this route for our WCM and SOO positions. We were able to execute our SOO split. WCM got held up and is now finally being bid.

Our operational software dumps out .gif. Give me 4-6 months and I’ll see if we can have .png on all our forecast websites and social media. (Mesoanalysis will have to wait for other reasons.)

🌊 #LittleKnownFact: The inward curve of the U.S. coastline between Florida and North Carolina isn’t random. Over thousands of years, powerful hurricanes have repeatedly curved back out to sea in this region, eroding the shoreline and carving the coast into its distinctive shape. #CouldBeTrue 🤷🏻‍♂️
