There was much discussion about subsidence zones on the colder (WNW) side of snowbands during the recent blizzard. But you may still be wondering "why does it occur on that side of the band specifically?" Well, the answer has to do with the dynamics of frontogenesis:

Irrespective of the exact track, this weekend's coastal storm will be an impressive release of baroclinic instability as an arctic airmass clashes with subtropical ocean warmth.

@_Yoshmarie Gracias! 😊

I’m very proud to announce that I got accepted into the Applied Meteorology M.S. program at Mississippi State University. I feel extremely grateful for this new opportunity to continue my studies in meteorology at graduate level.

Big thanks to the MSU Department of
Geosciences.

After almost 12 years later…the dream is complete. 👨🏻‍🎓

@Wx_Isaac Thank you! 🙂

Evolution of a near-surface velocity couplet during tornadogenesis near Moore, OK tonight

NYC today is a great example of the difference between the Eulerian and Lagrangian time derivatives. A stationary thermometer measures decreasing temperature, but another thermometer drifting by with the wind would measure an increasing temperature (and both would be correct!)

Bumpy ride into Hurricane #Milton on @NOAA WP-3D Orion #NOAA43 "Miss Piggy" to collect data to help improve the forecast and support hurricane research.

Impressive.

[Steve Copertino @TheSteveCop]

Latest data from recon confirms that #Milton is once again an extremely dangerous Category 5 hurricane

We'll have to see how resilient the core of this storm is as shear begins to increase tonight

[Steve Copertino @TheSteveCop]

The cirrus clouds that were obscuring the eye of #Milton have since dissipated as temperatures within the core continue to warm.

Very curious to see what recon finds in a little while

Prolific lightning flashes within Hurricane Milton's eye wall.

An incredible full day view of the Category 5 storm.

A jaw-dropping, high resolution view of Hurricane Milton's powerful, small eye.

This 30-second imagery from GOES-19 is preliminary and non-operational.

Eye of Helene! Perry, FL

[Tropical Cowboy of Danger @FlynonymousWX]

The north eye wall of #Helene had a significant amount of lightning tonight on the landfall mission

Looks like the Alps played a major role providing additional lifting mechanism.
