This event isn’t getting enough attention. Estimated 3.4 BILLION 💴 JUST IN CORN losses. That doesn’t even include all the other structural damage and power outages. Such a sad event and one that will show up on grocery stores soon. #derecho2020

What happened to the 8, 12, 20+ inch snow forecast you ask? We never were forecasting anywhere near those amounts. That’s why you stick the experts, not the people playing them on social media. #stlwx

Accumulating snow will move into Nrn portions of the area THU AM & spread SE across the region. 2-6" of snow is expected, with most of that snow falling in few hour period at any given location. Strong gusty winds will produce blowing/drifting snow conditions. #stlwx #mowx #ilwx

I’m sick of hearing about the “GFS” and the “Euro” and we are still a week away from this storm. Reason #3161 the winter sucks. In today’s world of ensemble forecasting, there is zero reason a deterministic model should ever be shown this far out. Well other than getting clicks..

We at the NWS announced today the term “Advisory” will be going away but that type of information will still be conveyed in plain language statements. So instead of “Winter Wx Advy” it may read “two inches of snow to affect morning commute.” Thoughts on this change?

#COVID19 killing less people than originally expected is like an ice storm. When people respond and take action based on the threat (social distancing or staying off the roads) the impacts are far less. That doesn’t mean it wouldn’t have been a catastrophe without the action!

My evening PSA to mets: 1. Avoid showing only deterministic models. You’re only showing 1 or 2 solutions out of 100+! Leverage probabilistic information! 2. Don’t cut off forecast information at your CWA/DMA! Our arbitrary borders mean nothing to the public we are serving!

Well, that day escalated quickly. Will have to look back at why winds in the St Louis metro and areas east stayed backed and thus enhanced our low-level shear parameters. But that is absolutely why storms started spinning when they got into the metro. #stlwx

Thank you @KDeitsch_wx for traveling out to Columbia and talking to us about your experiences in the NWS at St. Louis! It was a fun break from studying for finals.

Local Winter Storm Warning criteria changing from 6 inches to 5 inches. Won’t make much of a difference here - we all know it doesn’t take much to make roads a mess! #stlwx

At what point will police get involved in this ridiculousness? Dangerously flying past cars while crossing double yellow lines, all while bragging about his grainy footage. It makes me sick and this type of chaser behavior needs to STOP before more people get killed.

EXTREME close-range intercept of strong #tornado outside of Crockett Texas. Deployed graviton sensors and took a direct hit. We could hear the tornado several minutes before impact

The only positive things I can think of with this event that may temper *some* of the impact: There are no crops to destroy (can you imagine this was in the growing season?) and there are no leaves on the trees which may be keeping at least some trees standing. Otherwise? Wow.

Bummed I didn’t get to watch a single minute of the #Blues game. But very happy I was able to serve my community and keep it safe! The city averted a disaster tonight with a major tornado lifting just before it got into dense population. #Blessed

Days like today are why I ❤️ my job! Conference calls to our partners, media interviews, briefing slides - all in an effort to get the word out about this significant storm system! Flooding and potentially some severe weather headed our way St. Louis! #mowx #stlwx
