Never have I wanted to see a cloud less in my entire life 😭

Finally figured out why my health has been deteriorating in the last few years! I just got diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. It's a genetic connective tissue disorder. Explains pretty much everything wrong with me. So happy to finally have answers.

A new tropical disturbance tagged Invest #90E is developing south of Mexico after strong winds in the Gulf of Mexico made their way across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec.

Through September 11, the 2023 Atlantic #hurricane season is above average for all tropical cyclone parameters that we track at Colorado State University. The season has been busiest relative to normal for named storms, named storm days, major hurricanes and major hurricane days.

I thought I fixed it. :/

I recently commented on a Sharknado YouTube review, "The most unscientific part of this movie is a hurricane in California." I...stand corrected.

Nothing quite like spending a holiday in an ER. (I'm not dying just require immediate medical care).

This Twitter change today is a total dumpster fire. Unless something changes, this platform is now pretty much useless for those of us in the weather enterprise.

#Adrian has intensified rapidly during the past 24 hours so the Eastern Pacific Basin now holds the first #hurricane of that season. The eye is still obscured by Central Dense Overcast (CDO) clouds in the Category 1 Hurricane, per #GOESEast IR imagery. Still no threat to land.

INCREDIBLE supercell with mammatus looming over Denver - it’s hard to capture the scale of this storm but if you zoom in on this shot you can see downtown Denver! #cowx

Timelapse of the thick smoke as it moved into Nazareth between 10am - 12:30pm! Just insane how quickly the sky turned yellow-orange!

Another round of extremely thick smoke is currently pushing through Pennsylvania and New Jersey, arriving in New York City shortly.

9:40 AM: The Air Quality Index is "Hazardous" in #Syracuse (maroon), with "Unhealthy" (red) to "Very Unhealthy" (purple) elsewhere in CNY & NEPA. The EPA says "avoid all outdoor physical activity" if you're in the Hazardous region. See https://t.co/oAzi4GoNwE for updated map. 1/2

[NWS Binghamton @NWSBinghamton]

9:45 AM at NWS Binghamton. Sun is no longer visible, everything's orange, the parking lot lights have come on, and we're stuck at 50°F.

Yesterday's view of wildfires raging in Quebec.

This cluster of fires is the main culprit for smoky skies across the Northeast US.

Hearing about interesting weather phenomenona is all fun and games until it starts directly affecting you. My poor asthmatic lungs are struggling. Fire weather officially sucks.

I've restarted my live African Easterly Wave tracking in GFS for the season! Nothing too exciting right now, but you can check out the plots here: https://t.co/EyOnR8QtIU

At some point I hope to get this working for ECMWF model data too... but that may take some time.
