It’s time for another months-long thread of pictures from a national park as I edit them. This one is for Glacier National Park! Glacier is absolutely my favorite US national park I’ve been to. @eleslie_wx and I were blown away every day we were there.

How did that look in real time? The first-ever LIVE tornado warning using Taller TIM issued by an NWS meteorologist occurred today during the HWT shakedown! (I like the matching footprints for hazards)

Yet another memorable night last night. Issued my first career tornado warning(s), starting off with a considerable tag - and also had the Norman circulation pass nearly directly over my house 🫠.

At a gas stationn in Cheyenne Wells, Colorado. Sheriff says, “Know what the forecast was today? 80 and sunny. Don’t you wish you could be paid to be wrong as much as weather people?” He then walks into the gas station and uses the women’s bathroom.

You’ll see 100 retrospectives of the El Reno tornado today on twitter, and at most you’ll see a few mentions of the deadly flooding that occurred in Oklahoma City that evening that killed more people. Hydrologic/hydrometeorological issues deserve more attention than they get.

@JasonMWX I don’t think we should get rid of gen eds, but colleges should absolutely scale back the gen ed requirements. I would have been way better served if I didn’t have to take film studies and instead could have taken more GIS classes.

Recently, my advisor noted that I used to be a lot more eager about weather/life - annoyingly eager (she is correct). She noted that since becoming a grad student, I had become a lot less eager - normal grad student things.

One of the things I’ve seen that concerns me is the idea that “early convection will wash tomorrow out.” When the entire warm sector is sitting at 90% relative humidity, cold pools just aren’t going to be what they normally are.
