There appears to be some cloud base lowering on the tornado-warned storm west of Fernley.

Taken from Fernley looking SW.

The #Bug fire made a significant run yesterday and was visible from my neighborhood in NW Reno.

Similar fire weather is expected today, and the fires have the capacity to make significant runs and exhibit dangerous fire behavior this afternoon.

Pretty confident there was a brief tornado just to the northwest of the KRGX radar near Spanish Springs, Nevada. Had a pretty defined velocity signature with a 32.5kt VROT. Can't say I recall seeing a tornadic signature like this in Nevada before!

Rest in peace Juniper Blessing.

A future meteorologist stabbed over 40 times, almost certainly because she was trans. There are so many things I want to say, but i just can't find the words for it. I just feel sick. This one hurts even more than usual.

Juniper Blessing, a 19 year old trans woman, was murdered in her apartment laundry room at the University of Washington-Seattle. She was a climate science major.

She loved meteorology, loved to sing, and loved Pokemon. What a devastating loss. Rest in power, Juniper.

April 2026 was the worst April for drought in US recorded history, dating back to 1895.

Yes, even worse than the Dust Bowl.

@tylerkwx03 @dubsinfive idk thats weird lmao

[Alex @winterfrost_wx]

@dubsinfive @tylerkwx03 People who feel spiritually connected to a particular animal or feel that they are an animal on a soul level. It is NOT identifying or pretending to be an animal in a majority of cases

[Alex @winterfrost_wx]

@tylerkwx03 why?

[Alex @winterfrost_wx]

@ZavalaLuke @Gio_wx Absolutely nuts for a general tstm day

[Giovanni Rizzotti @Gio_wx]

And that would appear to be a southwestward moving supercell with stout cyclonic rotation just north of Interstate 80 in far southern Pershing County, Nevada. Very interesting storm to say the least!
