@mattlanza Then private equity companies put in people who largely don’t understand the industry; you can see it happening to several companies now. I’m all for better finances, but when this happens, it can blur the lines between true science and misleading claims made for financial gain.

[Nicholas Rodick @NickRodick]

@mattlanza 100% agree with this, attenuation would cause misinterpretation. One problem most people don’t realize; the sheer cost behind many private Wx companies; combined with the fact you have private equity companies taking them
over, squeezing as much out of these companies for ROI.

Increasingly concerned about capital region flooding in the Hudson valley; 5-7+ inches have fallen with HIRES and ECMWF guidance showing another 8 to 12 hours, as the low pressure continues to develop; tilting the axis of heavy rain.

🌧️ The NYS Mesonet station in Schodack has received over 7.4 inches of rain in less than 24 hours. Track rainfall totals across New York with observations updated every 5 minutes! Visit on our website https://t.co/I10kGkSSzB #NYwx #FlashFlood

Impressive radar view this AM!

[Nicholas Rodick @NickRodick]

Keeping an eye on Hudson valley from lower to upper and into the Berkshire Mtns: there’s been a slight shift northwest in hires guidance for axis of heavy rain for overnight and tomorrow morning as cyclogenesis continues!

[Nicholas Rodick @NickRodick]

@mattlanza I agree; I also think private weather tech companies should take notice how these new products have been developed!

[Matt Lanza @mattlanza]

And away we go.

Pretty gnarly setup over NJ, NY, and parts of New England tomorrow, but a lot of windshield wipering going on in the models as to who gets clocked. Anytime you see 5"+ probabilities in the Northeast of 70% though, it merits paying attention.

By popular demand, we've updated our interactive Weather Lab platform to show WeatherNext 2 ensemble mean gridded forecasts alongside our tropical cyclone predictions, including point forecasts for: temp, precip, wind speed, and sea level pressure: https://t.co/FkCFslI0iD

Absolutely gross. Temperature dropping several degrees.

Why is the sky looking hazy today?🫣🌫️

Wildfire smoke from Southern Canada has drifted into NYS. NYSM Doppler lidars from Belleville, Chazy, Whiteface Mountain and ETEC roof capture the elevated smoke layer. Plume shown is primarily above ~2 km

[NYS Mesonet at UAlbany @nysmesonet]

Wildfire smoke has spread across New York, creating hazy skies and reduced visibility. Our statewide NYS Mesonet cameras are capturing the event as it unfolds, providing real-time observations from across the state. https://t.co/sK9DniDe8j

[NYS Mesonet at UAlbany @nysmesonet]

As of 5:25pm, 87 all time records are broken @nysmesonet since the station was installed! Most of sites had max feel-like temperatures over 100F except mountain regions & Long Island. Max feel-like T is 110.7F at Wolcott at 2:50pm. Check updates on https://t.co/YJCKbKyY3Q

[NYS Mesonet at UAlbany @nysmesonet]

70 records broken!

Our "Feels-like" temperatures are breaking records today across NYS!

Currently, every single @nysmesonet station has a dewpoint of at least 70°F, with a maximum of 80°F at the Voorheesville station (92/80).

This is contributing to widespread 100°F+ heat indices, which cover about half the surface area of NY. #nywx

[Nicholas Rodick @NickRodick]

Its been awhile since Ive posted about Capital Region Wx, notable set up across the area today. Dynamics are high end; could support QLCS event as things evolve!

If you’re debating seeing the movie Pressure—just go.

The film nails something rare: the uncertainty of forecasting. From the data to the internal struggle, there are hidden gems throughout that every meteorologist will highly relate to.
