CHASE Of A LIFETiME
Just saw this absolute beauty form directly in front of me and @muggiewx then turn into this nice cone
6 miles NW of Effingham, IL

@Brady_Wx Classic Dixie-like environment where RFD mergers are effectively required for t-gen so the numbers make sense. Glad you're making good progress on quantifying all that! It's nice to see the conceptual model for nudgers finally getting some form of quantification to test things.
SEVERE DEFORESTATION in rural Franklin County, Mississippi after a significant tornado struck here late yesterday evening. I estimate the damage path in this area was nearly a mile wide. #mississippi#tornado
Now that I have officially accepted the final job offer, I can announce that I have accepted the lead position here at the NWS Mobile office! I'm not going anywhere new, but it's a nice step up the career ladder. I look forward to continuing to serve as a lead met at my office!
@backinblack_wx@CameronJNixon@NickKrasz_Wx With the amount of detail I have in our reanalysis of tornadoes for 2011 through 2025 that will be released in the future we can probably put together a fun little research project just on track deviations and storm interactions alone. It's always fascinating seeing that.
@backinblack_wx@CameronJNixon@wxKobold@PaxBiggs And pairing that with the varying tornado environments that occur down here. There's some pretty obvious patterns, and once I'm done with the reanalysis we can hopefully put to paper the immense amount of stuff sitting in my brain from all this
@backinblack_wx@CameronJNixon@wxKobold@PaxBiggs After having looked through hundreds if not thousands at this point of potential cases with the radar reanalysis for the past decade here, there is absolutely a correlation between storm interactions/storm type and tor/no tor, tor intensity, and tor deviations.
They weren't kidding when they said there were some spicy chases in the new @OutbrkGame update. One of my favorite chases in the game so far with a grand finale EF5-equivalent tornado. Winds were above 200mph for a long time with that one.
Two things: 1) fuck cancer and 2) please send good vibes, thoughts, prayers, etc... for a speedy recovery for my sister. She had her surgery today and fingers crossed they were able to get it all removed. Been a long day but she's in good spirits and on the road to recovery.
Last night, the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron flew into the eye of Hurricane Erin—and captured imagery of the breathtaking stadium effect.
These missions provide critical data to the NHC to improve forecasts, helping keep communities safe before the storm makes landfall.#readynow #weatherready
