Does anyone know what's up with the persistent and now very large area of convection on the northwest edge of Hurricane #Polo? Fascinating structure and evolution to watch!
Impressive view of Hurricane Polo this morning (8:41 am CDT on 9/22). Polo is now a category 5 hurricane and is located in the eastern Pacific.
Still a lot to unravel in the ongoing calamity after Wednesday's glacier collapse and flood catastrophe in the Himalayas. It's clear enough that our human-warmed climate is destabilizing glaciers and permafrost. @climateconnections.bsky.social yaleclimateconnections.org/2026/08/the-...

Nice downburst and low-level KDP core on the west side of Little Rock around 2pm on 7/3. These KDP cores can show where there is precip loading and melting, which are things that help create stronger downbursts.
Large fires continue to burn in CO. Thankfully, the Willow Fire near Leadville did not grow a lot, but that is sadly not the case for other fires, especially the #AspenAcresFire southwest of Pueblo. Satellite image is from 6:31pm MDT and image is of the #WillowFire on Monday afternoon.
Several large wildfires burning in CO and UT Sunday evening, including one in Lake County, CO where I grew up. Photo was taken by my brother in Leadville late Sunday afternoon. #COFire #WillowFire
I've got to say that I'm really disappointed in the recent discourse surrounding the RCP8.5 scenario. The lack of context and understanding is something I expected from the usual suspects, but it's frustrating to see such bad takes from people and outlets who should know better.

Research suggests the feeling that time speeds up with age can be shaped by fewer temporal landmarks — the small disruptions to routine that give the brain something worth remembering
Almost everyone over thirty has had the same disorienting thought. The year is ending again. The summer is gone. The decade just turned over and somehow nothing about the calendar feels like it lines ...

This incredible heat wave 🥵 is rewriting the record books for Colorado’s snowpack. 🏔️ We're currently witnessing a snow drought of historic proportions.🤯 With ~2 weeks of record-smashing temps across the Western US, our mountains are losing what little snow they had—fast. 📉 🧵 1/9 #cowx
Last week’s heat wave was record-smashing, extraordinary, and impossible to ignore. It continued yesterday and even today in parts of the state. This new blog post provides some climate context on the mind-boggling temperatures and how they are affecting the drought and snowpack situation. #cowx
