Fabulous radar app just got more fabulous 🏆

Sometimes you just have to draw a line in the sand and say something is ready. I've spent the last month or so not only adding level II site functionality to Heimdall, but what I consider to be genuinely novel functionality and interactivity. It's live for you to try at heimdall.stormscale.io

I recall AWOS sensors can go bad in extreme low Td/RH as well.

I've got one more plot left in me before I leave this dead horse alone. Two day T/Td time series from ISU Soil Moisture network Kanawha (near Algona) (literal ag field), Ames ASOS, and Algona AWOS. Two subplots show physically explainable processes, the other does not.

Info-graphic of what I compute for max dew points over Iowa today along with period of record stats. NB: AI did the graphic design, but the data is all my handywork. Feel free to reuse as you wish.

I'm happy to announce the launch of malpais.app, a free NEXRAD/TDWR radar viewer that lives in your browser. malpais downloads Level 2 or Level 3 data from NOAA's Open Data Dissemination archives and renders it in WebGL on your desktop or mobile device. For free.

Bye, bye HREF. Hello REFS. Does this mean we get ABS model challenges?

Boom.

A band of snow spanning multiple Midwest states was visible last night under the waxing gibbous moon. Chunks of lake ice can also bee seen floating on the waters of Lake Michigan and Green Bay.

1/2SM in moderate to heavy snow at Fort Dodge. RAP sounding gives a clue. Dendritic Growth Zone certainly isn't deep, but well super-saturated with respect to ice and strong lift seems to compensate with productive crystal type (dendrites). #iawx

Federal weather & climate science is under threat. Starting TODAY at 3:00 PM ET, join a coalition of scientists--including AMS leaders--for a 100-hour livestream. Learn what federal science does for you, ask questions, and help build awareness to "Save Our Forecasts": wclivestream.com

The dendrite machine is fully operational in Des Moines. RAP sounding shows it well supersaturated wrt ice in and near the DGZ. This boosts snow/liquid ratios well into the 30s as noted in the Cobb Bufkit data. #iawx

Because this platform is moderated. This is not Twitter. There is no Elon Musk dominating an algorithm that drags down the platform Bluesky is unique. We need it to grow.

The problem with calls for “discourse,” is that MAGA isn’t interested in an exchange of ideas. It wants to leverage the rules of polite to destroy discourse. It wants to walk in, shout us all down, spit lies, and thumb their noses at us. Shout “if you’re so tolerant why don’t you tolerate my hate?”

It's that time of year where everyone gets fired up about the 240-300 GFS snow forecast. 🤦
