Since I get asked so often, I decided to make a quick guide on making storm-relative/storm-following radar loops w/ GR2A v3 and ScreenToGif. LMK if I need to clarify anything or make any changes! #wxtwitter #radar.

Wow, what a beautiful morning to be an enjoyer of clouds!

Just found a snail in the house. Went to go get something to relocate it back outside and by the time I got back it had run off. Apparently I'm too slow to catch a damn snail.

And onto the next! (Though I will probably come back to this one for decals at some point)

Not remotely wx related. but I finished my first RG gundam kit! Fairly happy with it -- a couple problem spots that I got too overexcited with the exacto knife, but for the most part came out pretty clean!

Got some pretty pics without lightning too!

There was storms in east central MO, so of course i had to take the drone up. Got some lightning, at least! Only 1-2 "decent" shots but still fun.

I think I already shared this, but may as well again since it's 8/10. Here's a radar-derived hodograph loop of the 8/10/2020 derecho crossing over the KDMX radar!

Back in 2023, I accidentally stumbled across a rare photogenic Missouri supercell while grocery shopping.

NWS WFO Radar/Warning Ops final boss:

I did a VWP loop of the time a tropical cyclone intensified in Oklahoma! . I accidentally skipped 45 minutes towards the end, sorry

Seabreeze boundary collision is helping things to get a bit spinnier in E WI. Only have a short window for things to happen, but that window is now!

Seems like it might be on its way out, fairly short-lived.

Appears to be a confirmed tornado in progress ESE of Appleton, WI (south of Kaukauna). Looks to be a probable TDS! #wiwx

back to retro tor outlooks I see

Very interesting little dataset here!. As this cold pool pushes through, we can see coherent "streaks" of higher/lower velocity. At the end of several of these streaks appears to be a circulation. As the loop goes on, these vertical vortices develop and merge into a mesovortex

Just re-sharing one of my favorite plots of lightning ever. This is lightning within a snowstorm! For whatever reason the bolt itself shows up insanely well when it's in snow.

Whoa, this is so pretty. Some sort of horizontal shearing instability going on with these very light clouds over Kansas right now. Very beautiful <3

Very cool velocity scan from CASSN a little bit ago. Looks like some sort of embedded undular bore?
