Eye really clearing out over the last hour or so

This is the OP from twitter, not sure how he made it. https://x.com/NickKrasz_Wx/status/1956730795533480017?t=KwNUUdLNnK9aEhPWPNV-7A&s=19

wow, yeah, close to a foot of rain in MKE the past couple of days, and absolutely nothing across the lake...

Thankfully aqi is down into the 30s here after 24 or so hours around 100. Sucks what you all are dealing with up north

this is an incredible picture, wow

Take your meds, man

dude... take a deep breath... have some herbal tea... take a nap... this is the kinda behavior that makes everyone cheer for a BA season, just to see you take an L

Yeah, that bullseye near GR is dismal, 25% of normal rain June 8 - July 8

What are we doing here? This is no better (worse, maybe?) than just throwing darts at a map and calendar and claiming to know when storms are gonna hit

unbelievable 14"+ of rain in 24 hours in central texas, with some areas seeing 19" over 3days

cvg record high for jun 23/24 is 94, which i'm fairly certain will get broken, probably for both days.

Check out this view (from the miniCOW) of the tornadic supercell near Higgins, tx yesterday that I was operating on w/ icechip - we got 15 hailpads out in front of it before it surged south cutting off the planned escape, forcing us to bail east and then south, where we watched as it shelfed out and got a great view. Interestingly not a ton of hail associated with this storm, and our pads that went directly under the precip core got a couple sparse hits, but far fewer than expected.

saw my 1st and 2nd tornadoes yesterday while operating on a storm west of lubbock! first wasn't fully condensed, but a vigorous/persistent dust circulation on the ground underneath the meso. second, we saw as it roped out to our east, and there was a circulation obviously still on the ground as evidenced by the dust being kicked up. this somewhat (not really) makes up for missing the massive dusty wedge in morton on thursday

Yeah I've seen that on a couple streams, fwiw I've seen less lightning the past hour or so than earlier when the cell was nearer greensburg

Was in Greensburg earlier staging. Ended up dropping farther south for the daytime stuff, but headed to Wichita for the night and the cloud to cloud lightning that cell is throwing off is insane. Just constant bolts, wish I could get a good video

Fairly aggressive mcd from earlier, with an almost maxed out watch now issued

been learning metpy, and made this plot layering hrrr fh0 data for surface temps, pressure, and composite reflectivity. interesting how warm it is in minnesota especially, compared to literally anywhere farther south

This is looking good for chasing in the plains these weeks

Cincinnati area could see a second round of storms later this afternoon. good clearing in S indiana

36mph max gust so far at the campus weather station, which is pretty impressive as the anemometer is only 10ft off the ground

75/63 right now, only cooled off to 69 overnight, strong south winds all morning
