Super stoked to announce my commitment to studying atmospheric science at the University of Albany! Can’t wait to continue my academic journey and continue to pursue my passion in meteorology and research!

See you in the state capital this fall 🫡

Huge fire looking north from south Bellmore. Anyone know what it is? @News12LI

[Cole Stern @ColeWeather25]

@IsaacWxObserver Yeah hopefully the waters can warm some the next few weeks. Or else we’ll have bad stability issues for summer storms

[Cole Stern @ColeWeather25]

@NWSNewYorkNY I thought this was cool. Little backdoor cold front just passed by, dropping temps by several degrees. I saw this thin rope cloud moving east just under cumuli moving west, showing how shallow this front is

[Cole Stern @ColeWeather25]

F2 to the south*

[Cole Stern @ColeWeather25]

F3 north of Albany and F1 to the south 😱

May 31, 1998:

The Northeast's only high risk event brought over three dozen tornadoes, including six F3s, to several states. One person was killed and 109 more were injured. Two days later, Pennsylvania would experience another major tornado outbreak.

@burgwx A TPV this time of year seems extremely rare here - wonder how many other cases there have ever been

[Cole Stern @ColeWeather25]

@AndyHazelton @rushtropicalwx The warm pool that is supposed to be depleted during El Niños got depleted 😱

[Cole Stern @ColeWeather25]

@rushtropicalwx I doubt the relationship between the two is anything but meager. Also the AO is literally falling right now per your first image not surging. The westerlies persist despite AO fluctuating near neutral, also showing the two aren’t closely related

[Bob Maxon @bobmaxon]

Last night was epic! Over 5000 lightning strikes in the Tri-State area! Just wow!!

[Cole Stern @ColeWeather25]

@sydneyw_wx Looks like a slow-moving cold front to me.

[Cole Stern @ColeWeather25]

Probably another marginal heavy rainfall threat for southern New England later this week. Sometimes when you get a slow-moving cutoff low and an offshore disturbance interacting you can get a band of heavy rainfall. Another scenario that’d probably be really bad if it were summer

[Cole Stern @ColeWeather25]

I’m interested in a conditional thunderstorm/flash flooding event across the tri-state region tomorrow. A slow-moving shear vorticity line associated with a decelerating sea breeze will likely coincide with a potent shortwave overhead. PWATs will be marginal but watching anyway.

[Cole Stern @ColeWeather25]

@webberweather And warm for the east coast 😎

[Cole Stern @ColeWeather25]

I’ve become way too good at this 😂

[Cole Stern @ColeWeather25]

Starting to see some convective initiation along the sea breeze front

[Cole Stern @ColeWeather25]

Still watching this conditional slow-moving thunderstorm/downpour threat across the Tri-State area today. 12z NAM came in aggressive. Some clearing across NJ too which is interesting.

Looks like this storm near OKX spun the wrong way 👀

[Cole Stern @ColeWeather25]

@PROLIFICSHlTTER @WxTca Should be noted that the current Atlantic configuration isn’t too great. We need that to flip or else we may look more like 2022/2025.

I still can’t get over how bats**t crazy the forecast is for Colorado and Kansas is this week

Wednesday will feature temperatures ~35F below average across portions of W Kansas and Colorado and a bona fide snowstorm w/ temps near freezing. Then right back to summery (70’s) Thu
