Do you know the difference between a Watch and a Warning? Think of it like making a taco. A watch is when you have the ingredients but haven’t been assembled yet. A warning is when those ingredients have come together. #INwx#SeverePrep
Much of the U.S. is seeing spring-like temperatures the next few days. As we head into spring, and increasing potential for severe thunderstorm activity, it's a good time to review: What do the SPC severe weather outlook categories/levels mean? (1/3)
Long time followers here know that I don’t do politics, and there’s no political content on this account. I vote; and that’s it. The world does not need another social media nitwit telling people how to think and vote. 
This post is not about politics, but about support for my friends that work for the National Weather Service, part of NOAA, a federal agency.
NWS meteorologists work long, hard hours serving the people of this country, not only during times of severe weather, but on the routine days as well.
Their surface and upper air observation networks along with computer models, radars, and satellites are critical for all meteorologists, including those of us in the private sector. 
Most NWS field offices are currently understaffed right now. I can only imagine morale is not especially high. 
Many high-level politicians follow this page, both Democrats and Republicans. I would encourage them and all of you to support my colleagues at the National Weather Service during this time. Their service is absolutely invaluable. 
If NWS products and services are reduced, we all suffer…especially during times of life-threatening weather. 
Congratulations Jacob Bruss for a successful MS defense with Purdue EAPS! His defense is titled “ZDR calibration of X-band Weather Radar Using Dry Snow." He is advised by Prof. Robin Tanamachi. #boilerup @tornatrix
Let us Reflect, Empower and Unite together this #Pride Month as we celebrate the diversity of the NWS family! Their skills and perspectives allow us to meet our mission of protecting a diverse nation.
Now that one-minute ASOS station data is available for the US for Monday's solar eclipse, here's a loop of the 30-minute temperature change from the eclipse.
Even locations far from totality experienced a pronounced drop in temperatures due to the decreased solar radiation!
Timelapse of the 5.7°F temperature drop during the total solar eclipse. Time of totality in Indianapolis was 3:06pm to about 3:10pm. Notice the temperature curve bottomed out about 15 minutes after the time of totality. #inwx#Eclipse2024

@RadarScope@matthewh1 Mine went blank as well. Wouldn’t let me change it so I removed the widget, but RadarScope doesn’t even show in my widget list. After restarting my phone it showed up again :)

Hi everyone! We will be hosting the 8th annual meeting of MSCAR on September 30th to October 1st, 2023. Further infromation will be updated, so stay tuned and save the date!
#SPOTTR 2023 traveled 3,012 miles, crossed eight states, launched five radiosondes, deployed two PIPS, and observed storms on 5 of 7 days (including one containing a rain-wrapped tornado that we never saw). Thanks to the students for their perseverance and grit!
