In Alaska, nature sculpted this lone tree into a frozen wave at sunrise ❄️🌬️🌅

Relentless wind, drifting snow, and rime ice stacked layer by layer until the branches looked like feathers made of frost.

That soft golden glow is the sun catching every icy strand, turning the whole scene into a winter sculpture for a few brief moments.
Bent by the storm, but still standing. Still reaching.

An inversion is simply where the temperature increases with altitude rather than decreases, like it normally would

A layer of colder air is trapped near the surface by descending warmer air, so you can end up with the scene below

[Backpirch Weather @BackpirchCrew]

Out of nowhere and in an otherwise bone dry environment, we have our first named storm of the 2025 North Indian Ocean Cyclone Season.

At 85 mph (140 kph) and 976 mbar, Category 1 Cyclone Shakhti has formed amidst a spattering of desert lightning in the Arabian Sea. Though she is swirling in Oman’s direction, she is forecast to abruptly recurve just offshore of the Arabian Peninsula and evaporate harmlessly over open water.
