Full sequence of the annular solar eclipse at Shiprock, New Mexico. This was a dream composition of mine. So much time, energy, and money went into making it happen. I'm forever grateful to the Navajo for letting me shoot it from sacred ground. An experience I'll never forget.

Hurricane #Norma looking impressive this morning with a well-defined eye and outflow spilling north, east, and south of the center. Outflow is only really restricted in the SW quadrant, a hint of the southwesterly shear that will eventually weaken the system as it approaches Cabo San Lucas

Seems we've had at least 3 tornadoes in Florida this morning: Trinity, Clearwater/Dunedin area, and Palm Coast. The Trinity storm was ongoing just after 2am and storms are still crossing the state here at 10am. Watch is in effect until 3pm.

This sums up most of my work over the last decade or so. Walker Ashley (NIU) and myself have been working on the tornado issue in the Mid-South. The problem is dynamic, multifaceted, and not easy to solve. This graphic helps explain the multitude of factors that overlap to create tornado disaster.

Been loving BlueSky so far but I need more weather/climate folks to follow! Any suggestions are appreciated! ⛈️🌁☃️🌤️

Anyone else enjoying these mild temperatures? (Exception being Phoenix, AZ) I sure am! #Weather #WX

Partial annual eclipse viewing on Saturday appears far from ideal across much of the Midwest, with a midlatitude cyclone likely over Ohio and a large shield of stratocumulus clouds on the back side

Kind reminders: 1—Palestinians don’t owe you a clarification or condemnation of any kind regarding their stance on the resistance. Unlearn your western exceptionalism 2—Calling it a “religions conflict” is reductive & lazy. It’s Israeli colonialism, racism, ethnic cleansing, occupation & apartheid

Found an awesome open source project to go alongside Supercell Wx. This one is called OpenStorm. I used it for that tornado warned storm in Southeast Oklahoma about 20 minutes ago. github.com/JordanSchlic... #Weather #WX #WXTools #OpenSource

Freddy had a beautiful funnel near Bruce, South Dakota. Nothing of significance on stream as of right now but he's still streaming. www.youtube.com/watch?v=18J0... #Weather #WX #SDwx

Tropical Depression Seventeen has formed in the Atlantic. Guidance very consistent in turning it northward well east of the Leeward Islands. Keeping an eye on it but right now this looks unlikely to be an issue for us.
