⚠️A few severe storms expected 2 pm - 7 pm⚠️

The highest threat will be just east of I-25 across the northeast and east central Colorado plains. The main hazards from the storms will be damaging hail up to 2 inches in diameter along with wind gusts to 65 mph. #cowx

Here’s how scientists measure the extreme temperatures currently scorching 44% of the world’s oceans https://t.co/JnHDHBLNvy

Question for oceanographers/sea-air folks out there: Do you have good explanation for the most recent bout of very rapid warming in the NW Atlantic (near and east of Newfoundland and Labrador)? SSTs have warmed >3C in less than a week and are now well above 5C warmer than avg...

logged in just to announce @CIRESnews and @NOAA_ESRL are hiring a 2-year postdoc to create an experimental wildland fire danger forecast product using machine learning! https://t.co/HrFjBCcH9J. Feel free to reach out with questions :)

[NOAA Research @NOAAResearch]

The @NOAA #PhysicalSciencesLab published an updated marine heatwave report showing that a quarter of the ocean is currently experiencing marine heatwaves.

That number increases to 44% ❗️ if you include warming trends caused by #climatechange since 1990!

Our July marine heatwave forecast summary is online! 🌊🔥 Highlights:

*44% of the global oceans extremely warm (includes long-term warming). The most on record.

*Warming in the Gulf of Mexico & FL Keys could persist through Oct.

[Dillon Amaya @DillonAmaya]

Seeing a lot of chatter about the very warm ocean temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico. How extreme are they? How long will they last? Could we have seen this coming?

Let's dive into NOAA PSL's marine heatwave forecasting system to learn more! A 🧵...(1/4)

We have released a V1.0 automated overshooting cloud top (OT) and above anvil cirrus plume (AACP) detection software, based on semantic segmentation deep learning models. See the thread below for details on its development and some examples: https://t.co/33snX2Nnxh

This tornado signature near Highlands Ranch, CO appears to have traveled ~10 km or so... #cowx

[BoulderCAST Weather 🏔️⛈️ @BoulderCAST]

Highlands Ranch #tornado!

KFTG - Super-Res Velocity 1, 3:36 PM

[BoulderCAST Weather 🏔️⛈️ @BoulderCAST]

The hailstorm northwest of #Boulder has weakened. Still small hail and heavy rain.

All eyes are on the massive supercell raking across the southern Denver Metro which has baseball hail and now tight rotation (possible tornado)! #cowx

[NWS Boulder @NWSBoulder]

The storm moving across the southern Denver metro has hail up to tennis ball size! Take shelter now! #COwx

[NWS Boulder @NWSBoulder]

Another round of strong to severe thunderstorms is expected this afternoon and evening across the I-25 corridor and plains. Large hail will again be the main threat, but any storms that develop could produce heavy rain, gusty winds, and frequent lightning. Stay prepared! #cowx
