For those at #AMSMadisonSummit who missed our @ametsoc.org BRAID/Coriolis QG coffee break, feel free to reach out (or find me) for a Madison LGBTQ+ Local guide and info about social events later this week! 🏳️‍🌈

For QLCS lovers at AMS Madison, you're in luck! @drkelsbritt.bsky.social will be sharing her innovative WoFS QTor work and later, I'll be talking about the current state & limitations of QLCS mesovortex forecasting. Come join us! Britt (10:45 AM) - Madison Ballroom A Brown (1:45 PM) - Hall of Ideas

I had the honor earlier today to present at the last @nws.noaa.gov Foundation Friday webinar diving into the evolving landscape of QLCS mesovortex prediction. Hoping this is just the beginning of many future discussions on how to advance QLCS hazard forecasting and extend lead time ⛈️

So overjoyed to be part of a community that embraces the full tapestry of its membership! There once was a time when I kept quiet about my identify in professional spaces, for fear of judgement or retribution in my career endeavors - as it once had been for many decades 🧵 (1/2) bit.ly/4vbj1lp

LGBTQ+ Pride Month Spotlight: Matthew C. Brown

June is LGBTQ+ Pride Month. This week, we spotlight the career of Matthew C. Brown, vice chair of the AMS STAC Committee on Mesoscale Processes and member of AMS Braid and Coriolis.

Absolute monsters, utterly unfit for the uniform. If you can't handle an excited pupper showing you his jersey without using deadly force, you should not be a cop. In addition to legal action, may they always get stuck at red lights and never find the cool side of their pillows.

LAPD killed a woman’s dog on Friday. The officers showed up 20 deep w/ a helicopter over a noise complaint. LAPD claims the dog “charged” at them. The labradoodle was wearing a Knick’s jersey, too. The video is distressing. I’ll link it in the thread.

One of the most reprehensible decisions ever made in the history of college football. Any who cares about CFB, or the integrity of sports *period*, should shudder at this. It undermines so many of the core tenets of team sports - integrity, trust, accountability. Just unbelievable...

Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby’s preliminary injunction was granted by a judge. He’ll play for the Red Raiders in 2026.

Great discussion this afternoon w/ @amsearlycareer.bsky.social about navigating career highs/lows and cultivating passion in a challenging science landscape. For any students or early career folks who couldn't attend, I encourage you to watch the recording and reach out to panelists with questions!

Join us tomorrow 11 AM CT (12 PM ET) to dive into an exploration of discovering your passion and navigating early career challenges in atmospheric science! Register Here: bit.ly/4npmDgN

📢 One more day to submit abstracts to the AMS Madison Summit - including our joint session with @ams-sls-stac.bsky.social & Cloud Physics exploring recent advances in severe storm/high impact weather microphysics. We're accepting oral & poster submissions & have already seen topics such as... (1/2)

We're less than 1 week from the deadline for the 2026 AMS Madison Summit! As you finish (or in some cases, just start 😅) your submission, don't forget our joint session between @ams-sls-stac.bsky.social & Cloud Physics exploring recent advances in severe/high impact weather microphysics 🧵 (1/2)

Though AMS Annual is still fresh in our minds, the abstract deadline for deadline for the @ametsoc.org Madison Summit is rapidly approaching. With that in mind, I'm excited to share our joint session hosted between @ams-sls-stac.bsky.social & Cloud Physics! (1/2) ⛈️🌧️❄️

I'm ecstatic to announce that I will be joining the UND Dept. of Atmospheric Sciences this fall as an Assistant Professor! This huge milestone is the culmination of a dream over a decade in the making - one that's taken me across 3 (soon 4) states, 3 degrees, and 2 postdoctoral experiences... (1/2)

With AMS over, I'm excited to share that my recent QLCS modeling work has been posted in its final form in AMS MWR! This study builds on prior work, showing how line-parallel shear plays a critical role in modulating inflow vorticity and QLCS updraft forcing ⛈️ journals.ametsoc.org/view/journal...

And in a blink, another AMS has come & gone! From getting an Editor's Award, to sharing new research, and reconnecting with countless friends - the week was a joyful whirlwind. With each passing year, I hold onto these moments a little longer, thankful for the folks I get to share this field with ❤️

For all my QLCS enthusiasts, come see my poster this afternoon (going on now until 4:30), synthesizing some recent project to reassess how we look at bow echoes within the context of mesovortex formation! 🌪️

🚨 QLCS fanatics attending AMS, here's your daily homework (1/2): 1. Attend @drkelsbritt.bsky.social's talk @ 2:00 PM (381A) about her innovative work creating a QLCS mesovortex forecast framework in the Warn-On-Forecast System. 2. Go read her related paper (doi.org/10.1175/WAF-...) ⏬(1/2)

📢 Fellow LGBTQIA+ peeps attending #AMS2026! 🏳️‍🌈 Coriolis has compiled some local resources to help optimize your experience here in Houston! Check out our local guide for more info (including our events this week), along with other community resources/maps 🗺️

Ecstatic to share that our newest QLCS work led by @drkelsbritt.bsky.social has hit EOR on AMS WAF! What started as "crazy idea" has evolved into something that could be a game-changer — probabilistic forecasts of QLCS mesovortex tornado potential in WoFS (1/2) journals.ametsoc.org/view/journal...

Though a small milestone to some, today I passed the century mark in citations! Since my 1st paper, I've grown immensely as a scientist - in my interests, my writing, and so on. As I move into the next phase of my career (details coming soon!), I'm excited to see how my science continues to grow ✍

Embarrassment of a decision, from an embarrassment of a university. Even as someone with deeply-held faith, this decision fundamentally undercuts the ability of instructors to hold students to fair, rigorous, and fact-based standards. Inexplicable for an R1 public institution...

Super excited to share that the 2nd part of my NSF AGS work has finally hit EOR on AMS MWR! This paper has been a lesson in resilience & standing up for your science, even when it challenges established theory. Feel free to DM me if you need a PDF (1/3) 🧵 journals.ametsoc.org/view/journal...

This is hard to fathom, let alone stomach. NCAR has been one of the leaders in the atmospheric science community for over half a century. Their scientists have pioneered countless advances in observing, modeling & understanding the weather/climate systems. (1/2) www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

When @alexismasters.bsky.social gives you farm fresh eggs you farm fresh eggs, you put them to good use!! Improvised a crustless quiche, with turkey sausage, caramelized red onion, spinach, sundried tomatoes, and feta 🥚🐔

I think this EF-5 upgrade marks an important shift towards long term *accuracy* over maintaining status quo. One brave WFO kicked down a door that others have been hesitant (and perhaps pressured) to not open, giving other offices the latitude to revisit and revise prior events.

Well even though PSU football is a perennial disappointment, my gameday goodies weren't 🏈chicken bacon ranch dip, PSU old fashioned's with PA rye, and a whiteout vanilla creme cake (Side Note: who's down to go in on Franklin's buyout? 😅 💰)

Not sure if it was a complex shelf cloud or an embedded mesocyclone, but the sights in north Norman early this morning were other-worldly 🛸⛈️

Just as with the assassination of state representative Melissa Hortman earlier this summer, the horrific violence carried out today is a vile display of hate which goes against our country's fundamental principles. This is *not* a partisan matter - when free speech is met with violence, we all lose.

Well, the cat is out of the bag - I'm beyond honored to receive an AMS Editor's Award from MWR/WAF! I take peer review very seriously, especially for student authors, so it is immensely gratifying to be recognized for the time and thought that I pour into the review process ✍️

🎊We are thrilled to announce the 2026 Award and Honors Recipients! Thank you to our members and friends for nominating these exceptional individuals and organizations making a difference in the weather, water, and climate fields. Meet the recipients here: https://bit.ly/4lHUgaZ

Earlier this week I entered a chocolate cherry cake at our local Elizabethtown fair - it didn't end up placing, but I still thought it was too pretty not to share! 🍫🍒

Gotta brag on Kayla Wheeler (OU SoM PhD candidate), as her work on extratropical transition (ET) & tropical cyclone tornadoes has hit EOR. In addition to changes in tornado location & diurnal cycle , environments undergoing ET have slower decreases in... (1/2) journals.ametsoc.org/view/journal...
