I love Florida sunsets! 😍 @spann @StormHour #flwx

Impressive satellite view of destructive storms marching across the Midwest this afternoon.

[James Pettus @PettusWX]

Well this is certainly a first 😭

This meteorologist stayed on air keeping his composure and continuing coverage while there was a fire in studio. This was at KFSM in Fort Smith, AR.

Insane footage filmed from a nearby restaurant shows tonight’s explosion of Blue Origin’s New Glenn at Cape Canaveral Launch Complex 36 (LC-36).

Notable quake, preliminary info: M 0.0 Sonic Boom - 6 km NNE of Saint Andrews, South Carolina https://t.co/AWQJf1Tdfi

WE GOT DATA!

Check out this first-ever 3-D data set of wind and thermodynamics from the ground up from inside a #tornado!

With a peak wind of 131 mph measured above ground, and greater than 115 mph at ground level outside of suction vortices, it appears this tornado was at least an EF2.

This data set sheds light on the 3-D structure of the dynamic pipe from ground through the vent, showing a high swirl ratio tornado here. The vent is the powerful updraft at the upper reaches of the dynamic pipe, the strength of which is proportional to the ceiling of the tornado cyclone below.

We also computed a pressure perturbation with height, with two maximum deficits happening at launch and farther above ground in the dynamic pipe.

Notice the little loop the parachute probe made at the backside of the #tornado at the same time as an RH decrease. We do not believe this is a subvortex here so far above ground.

What do you notice with this data?

This week's hot, dry weather brought more expansion of Extreme Drought (D3) in the east and the emergence of Exceptional Drought (D4) in the northwest amid a record dry start to the year there. #ncwx

Latest run of our forecast model for now through the weekend.

Florida outflow boundaries never get old. 🤩

[Reed Timmer, PhD @ReedTimmerUSA]

Check out this incredible 3D trajectory of the parachuted sensor as it completed three revolutions around the #tornado, with widet circumference with height. The sensor then sampled the “vent” at the upper reaches of the dynamic pipe. It reached velocities of at least 140 mph. This is a historic accomplishment in science and engineering by @WillClay25

We are going live on Youtube at 2PM Central Time!

Join us for discussion on today's severe weather setup, including for the area across Kansas and southeast Nebraska where a Particularly Dangerous Situation (PDS) tornado watch was recently issued.

👍The Good News: Exceptional Drought (D4) is gone after last week's heavy rain in the southern Piedmont.

👎The Bad News: Improvements elsewhere were hard to come by, and we've got a hot, dry week ahead. #ncwx

[N.C. Forest Service @ncforestservice]

Effective at 8 a.m. Friday, May 8, the N.C. Forest Service has lifted a ban on all open burning for 19 additional counties in NC. Read news release: https://t.co/WpGREqGtRd

Morning tornado damage at Wash Trailer Park in Bogue Chitto, Mississippi. #mswx

[NC Climate Office @NCSCO]

More widespread rainfall over the past week helped slow the expansion of drought, but we still saw a slight increase of Extreme Drought (D3) coverage in parts of northwestern and central North Carolina. #ncwx
