Updated the #EZStormReport iOS shortcut to v1.4 today, fixing a bug with how BlueSky now handles mixed media shares. User experience remains unchanged. Updated link in bio! #stormchasing
This is my first storm chasing season using @wxfront.bsky.social as my only mobile app. I used both it and RadarScope last year and the WF feature set has only grown since (❤️ in-app weather models and soundings). Keep up the great work! Not sponsored, I’m just a fan: apps.apple.com/app/id673915...

Landed in Wichita for a weeklong chasecation! The setup looks to be…challenging, at least to start, but no doubt there will be opportunities.🌪️ #stormchasing
(Checks forecast/models): Wow, a 5% RISK DAY in Virginia, time to grab my gear and… (Friday work stuff) Well, I’ll just take off a little early and drive down to… (Remembers it’s a Friday afternoon in VA terrain/traffic): Nah, I think I’m good, if it wants to come, I’m here.
[0014z] Slightly larger than golf ball size hail. My location was 26.2607, -98.1862 near Lopezville, TX. #NWSBrownsville #TXwx #EZStormReport
Just finished @matthewcappucci.bsky.social’s “Looking Up: The True Adventures of a Storm Chasing Weather Nerd” while on my Midwest chasecation. It’s a great, endearing read with a lot of infectious enthusiasm for all things weather. Hope to run into you chasing one day, Matt!
Happy to announce that my #EZStormReport iOS shortcut now support Bluesky and other social networks! All it takes is one additional step to paste, and NWS office X accounts are replaced with hashtags. Try out the easiest way to share severe weather reports on social media! Link in bio.
We've seen 513 tornado warning polygons in the U.S. so far this year as of 5:30 p.m today. Almost half of them have been issued since Friday.
More proof that my colleagues at NWS SPC are the best in the business. Their service is no less than vital.
Another example of the outstanding work of the folks at the NWS Storm Prediction Center! The initial risk area was denoted on the Day 6 Severe Weather Outlook with continued messaging of a significant severe weather threat up to the event day *Note: Reports are preliminary (likely more to come)
I really hope after tonight that more Americans will appreciate, understand, and value the significant and lifesaving work done by the National Weather Service, and NOAA in general.
Categorical High Risk day while I’m flying back from Europe 😬

Two rounds of severe weather are likely, which is concerning. We'll have rotating supercells with STRONG tornado potential work across Louisiana and Mississippi this afternoon. Then a squall line with embedded tornadoes pushes toward Alabama into the overnight. Stay aware!
December 10-11th, 2021: The worst December outbreak in US history impacted the Midwest and Mid-South. 24 of the 71 confirmed twisters were significant (EF2+). Several dominant multi-state supercells were responsible for intense tornado families. 92 people were killed.

The 2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season will finally come to an end on November 30, and by any measure, it was an extremely active and impactful season. bmcnoldy.blogspot.com/2024/11/summ... @miamirosenstiel.bsky.social @capitalweather.bsky.social #HurricaneSeason
Sadly missed out on a good shot while stuck in traffic, but managed this at least. The first tornado I had ever seen, and one of two I got to see that day!

And I was so close to migrating my X posts to Bluesky via @en.blueark.app before the end of the week…alas. Looks like I’m stuck there for a bit longer.
Continuing to add new folks joining Bluesky to this starter pack, please let me know the folks I miss! go.bsky.app/J3e9fub
Excited to be part of #WxSky and the burgeoning storm chaser community here! Consider using this Storm Chaser Starter Pack I’ve created to help you find folks. I will continue to update the list, suggestions welcome! go.bsky.app/J3e9fub
The closest I got today: a picture of the wall cloud forming on the back of the Leesburg cell that eventually spawned the Poolesville tornado. Went tornado-warned four minutes later before crossing the Potomac. #vawx
