@Tara_eric @WeatherEric Essentially! It is a model with equations for perturbation temperature, pressure, vertical velocity, and horizontal velocity. I simply added a cold “bubble” and a warm layer at the surface and let it run.

Now that I have some time on my hands, I decided to make a gif of my final project for a numerical methods course! A simulated cold pool dropping into a warm layer with temperature perturbations shaded, perturbation pressure in contours, and vectors for wind.

If anyone is interested in seeing this, more than happy to send out a PDF of the poster!! A really cool case study to motivate my work on persistent west coast ridges that happened before our eyes!

Another year, another shameless plug. Come see me at Poster #72 to talk about what I’ve done since starting grad school! #ams2019

The streak at Albany has finally ended with yesterday's cool temperatures. #518wx #nywx

The American Enterprise Institute's figure of the day (yes you read that right) highlights some very good news that we've known for a while: US carbon emissions have been declining for some time. But does this mean we are all good now? Not exactly ... (thread)

Nowhere in the capital district officially broke into triple digits today, I have a feeling that will change tomorrow #NYwx https://t.co/JL1I9pA7ni

High temperatures from across the region today...

Looks like temperatures may have maxed out at the Albany airport at 97, but the dew point is rebounding fast up to 75 here! We have another shot at 100 tomorrow to break the 65 year streak. #nywx

Cool work being presented at #IARC2018 here at Scripps, showing a connection between atmospheric rivers impacting South Africa and moisture transported from the Amamzon through low-level jets

#NewProfilePic since I’m about to be a grad student starting tomorrow, so why not put a face to the tweets!

[LeichthouseForecasts @LeichtForecasts]

Super belated, but just wanted to officially announce I will be entering UAlbany’s PhD program in atmospheric science working with Dr. Lance Bosart!! Super excited to see where the next few years take me!

[LeichthouseForecasts @LeichtForecasts]

Any interest in atmospheric chemistry/carbon modeling/just seeing me? Stop by my poster (1144) so I can explain my summer research! #AMS2018

[NWS Albany @NWSAlbany]

The high today at the Albany International Airport was only 8 degrees. This breaks the record lo max temp for the date of 14 degrees set back in 1894. Albany Daily Climate Report: https://t.co/52fZGtffi6 #518wx #838wx #nywx

No better to spend this first day of class than to forecast severe storms! Tornado watch effective until 9PM, so watch out this evening!

[LeichthouseForecasts @LeichtForecasts]

Severe thunderstorm warning for central Saratoga County until 5 PM. Storm will arrive in Ballston Spa by 4:50 so get inside now!

[LeichthouseForecasts @LeichtForecasts]

While not the most conducive conditions, daytime heating should help form some severe thunderstorms for my last day at Penn State!

[LeichthouseForecasts @LeichtForecasts]

While not perfect conditions for severe storms, the atmosphere seems more conducive than yesterday in State College and across PA

[LeichthouseForecasts @LeichtForecasts]

While today seemed to be the best chance for server weather in #StateCollege, today's sounding and lack of sun keeping down those chances

[LeichthouseForecasts @LeichtForecasts]

Chance for severe storms to develop this afternoon, with the biggest threats being gusty winds. Stay alert for the rest of the day! https://t.co/ChzoAlTCcm
