@lividwx This isn’t a debris ball

[David Moran, CCM @DavidMoranWx]

@Klxchad @tymetwx It’s called Certified Consulting Meteorologist.

[David Moran, CCM @DavidMoranWx]

@tymetwx As an operational meteorologist, I use little to no math. As a consulting meteorologist, I’ve used everything from basic algebra, all the way through partial differential equations, depending on what I’m doing.

@tymetwx @NWS_BaltWash @accuweather @burgwx @capitalweather @MatthewCappucci @MikeTFox5 @ryankanerWX @ryanhallyall @AdelineSpears15 That’s incredible!

@tymetwx Was looking at this at work. I think these are overdone, but I wouldn't be surprised if some get up around half an inch of ice.

@BadWeatherTake Meteorologists make forecasts from imperfect data from imperfect instruments. What could possibly go wrong?

@ryanhickman I realized after I posted, somehow the product got switched to PTDS. I'm an idiot!

@barber_mullet @weatherdan I wouldn’t think the snow pack over the Sierras would affect temperatures too much, if any.

[David Moran, CCM @DavidMoranWx]

@tymetwx @JotaroWx @beebobobop @NWSSPC I don't believe it was hyped. Severe weather forecasting is my area of expertise and I felt it had the potential to be significant.

Observationally sampling inside tornadoes is difficult—doing so in a scientifically publishable way, even more so. In the latest #EJSSM article, Dean et al. document in-situ video probes near & within the western Pilger, NE #tornado on 16 June 2014.

@BadWeatherTake You can be a great forecaster and not have a degree. However, don’t forget, meteorology is much more than just forecasting and there may be other areas of meteorology where a degree is absolutely required.

@splillo I’m a meteorologist with Cerebral Palsy. Any hand analysis I draw would be useless due to my spasticity.

@ShaunMa2011 @PeterWx428 Rotation at 10,000 feet doesn’t mean there’s anything at the surface

[David Moran, CCM @DavidMoranWx]

I was told I'd never make it through high school algebra. I wound up with Bachelor's Degrees in Meteorology and Math.

Just out of curiosity, retweet if you were told by a teacher or advisor you couldn’t be where you are today.

[David Moran, CCM @DavidMoranWx]

@michaelcromerwx I admire your passion for weather and we all make mistakes. If I can ever help, feel free to send me a message!.

[David Moran, CCM @DavidMoranWx]

@Ian42244774 @tfortier_wx Here’s the thing. A meteorology degree isn’t a degree in forecasting, but learning the physics behind the atmosphere. If you’re a forecaster, you’ll probably never solve a differential equation after college. However, I do use math outside of my regular job in my consulting work.

[David Moran, CCM @DavidMoranWx]

@xIn5aNeShOt @tfortier_wx I'm an operational meteorologist and I do some consulting outside of my regular job. Depending on what I'm doing, I've used the math in my consulting quite a bit.
