It is going to be a LONG fire season it appears. Issued the first Fire Weather Watch of the year. Beat the old record for earliest (that we could find) by 2 days. The year? 2000. That was the start of several nasty fire seasons in the 2000s.

@therobdale @mikebettes I agree CoPilot is garbage in most cases. CoPilot can actually be better at creating images due to different ethical boundaries than others.

[John Keyes @jkeyeser]

@therobdale @mikebettes One thing I've learned is if AI like Gemini or CoPilot is giving you fits, literally ask why it isn't working. Gemini will tell you straight up what the issue is and how you might be able to fix it. It is interesting learning the "ethics" surrounding some AI tools. (1/2)

Kyle and I had a really challenging existence for many years. But we luckily took the time to figure out our differences and that was something he instigated with a conversation in his bus around how we each managed our racing teams. I was super eager for us to get on better terms. But it was he who made the effort for that to be possible. We did some media together also to laugh through some of the things we put each other through many years ago. Most recently we had even been discussing him running my Late Model at Wilkesboro this summer. He seemed extremely happy and we had planned to meet up next Thursday to get his seat to the shop. He laughed over the idea of his fans and JRM fans having to cheer in unison during that race.

Kyle was one of the greatest drivers in NASCAR history. No one can deny that. But he was also a father, a husband, brother, son, and a friend to many. My heart is broken for the Busch family. I will never be able to make sense of this loss but I am thankful that we had found a way to become friends.

@ryanvaughan Warning looks familiar.

@sheabsullivan I just remember hearing about it and went with @ToddYakoubian to KPAX and watching coverage on the feed.

🚨#BREAKING: The National Weather Service has officially rated the Enid, Oklahoma tornado which prompted a Tornado Emergency as an EF 4, with estimated wind speeds between 170 and 175 mph.

[Chicago & Midwest Storm Chasers @ChicagoMWeather]

World's fastest tornado today?
Satellite tornado near Deer Creek/Braman, Oklahoma, was absolutely racing across the field around the larger parent tornado. 🌪️💨

This thing was moving incredibly fast and may be a contender for one of the fastest-moving satellite tornadoes captured on video. Watch how quickly it dances around the main tornado — unreal storm chase footage.

@ryanvaughan Do we dare meme his screenshot? LOL

[John Keyes @jkeyeser]

@ryanvaughan @MicahStevensWx Just make sure any theme music has the following lyric: What ya gunna do when a 'nader comes for you.

[John Keyes @jkeyeser]

@MissAshes92 That explains that. Are you dry enough for drought declaration or burn bans?

[John Keyes @jkeyeser]

@MissAshes92 True. Are these state or fed burns, or both?

OU meteorology and EE schools (via the Advanced Radar Research Center facility) are joining forces to deploy the first entirely digital, polarimetric, phased-array Doppler radar. This mobile unit can detect lightning directly, and the ice-particle electrical polarization and reorientations that precede the lightning.

Vigilancia de Tornado ha sido emitida para partes de Oklahoma y Texas hasta las 11 PM CDT

[Mark Fox @StillwaterMet]

Asking for some help please from anyone. @spann @MissAshes92 @jamesaydelott @WeatherNation @weatherchannel @foxweather Spread the word that calling (on phone) NWS offices with radar interpretation only adds to the fog of an already dynamic situation. Speaking for myself.

Nasty looking tornado on the ground northwest of Oklahoma City near Cleo Springs, Oklahoma. #okwx

Classic example of sidelobe contamination of velocity in tornado warned storm in Major County, OK.
The high spectrum width, blocky velocity data, and low cc are strong signals of SLC. @weatherbrains @spann

[John Keyes @jkeyeser]

Tornado likely ongoing SW of Cleo Springs, or very close to producing one! #okwx
