Clearing skies over the Southern Plains today reveals a snowy landscape.

HUGE flakes at the Huntsville International Airport this morning ❄️❄️❄️ Causing lots of delays (including our flight to DC)

A jaw-dropping, high resolution view of Hurricane Milton's powerful, small eye.

The Predecessor Rain Event (PRE) associated with Hurricane Helene can be visualized with radar & mid-troposphere heights (blue lines).

Helene's interaction with a cutoff low brought a frontal boundary to a stall over western NC with a deep moisture plume well ahead of Helene:

Also, getting to meet students from around the United States who are interested in what I’m also interested in was so cool. Shoutout to my cohort for making this experience top tier.

And I got to see the @DOWFacility which was like… really awesome

This past June, I was fortunate enough to attend the NSF NCAR ULW! This unique opportunity allowed me to travel to the Mesa Lab in Boulder for a week of leadership training and networking. So honored to get to represent UAH, and I look forward to future opportunities.

@US_Stormwatch Here you go the same but focusing on the "eye" at 10 meter resolution via #Copernicus #Sentinel2 satellite. If you zoom in, you can even see the waves. Image acquired during June 30, 2024. 🛰️🌀

We flew right over the top of Hurricane Beryl today. Peering down into the eye with the 50 to 500 mm lens gave me both an eerie feeling and a high level of weather nerd excitement.

Whole Hurricane: 50mm, f9, ISO 1000, 1/32000
Eye: 210mm (50 to 500m lens), f13, ISO 1000, 1/26000

#Hurricane #Beryl is making landfall on Carriacou Island (part of Grenada) as a Category 4 hurricane with max winds of 140 mph. Only one other Category 4-5 hurricane on record has tracked within 75 miles of Grenada (Ivan-2004).

Hurricane Beryl is a major category four storm as it nears the Windward Islands.

[CIRA @CIRA_CSU]

An absolutely stunning view of Hurricane Beryl's clear eye.

Beryl is now powerful, category 4 storm.

Rainshower near Lexington, AL @spann #ALwx

Hurricane Beryl has become the first recorded category 4 hurricane in the Atlantic in June.
