"Boss frontal zone" is my new term for pattern-changing cold fronts, like the one going through #Baltimore and #DC Friday evening. @clutchofficial #DCwx #VAwx #MDwx

If I had to pick just one piece of meteorological/hydrological/climatological piece of jargon to change the wording, it's the *howmanyyears* flood. The public will never understand the real meaning. Let's change the dang terminology.
When a pianist in #WashingtonDC , gets to the middle of a song it's called a Key Bridge.

This is why Snow Squall Warnings exist, and terrestrial radio stations need to be ready to pass them along to listeners in their vehicles.
Our theme for Snow Squall Awareness Week is simple: There is no safe place on a highway during a snow squall.
After you watch this video, you'll see why.
Stay tuned all week long to learn more about this dangerous winter hazard.

I love how @MidsomerTV uses Atari 2600 video game sounds from the 1980's in the background. Yeah, I'm calling you out for fake Donkey Kong!!

In my meteorological job hunt but also while retooling Bufkit because of all the recent model changes, I have stumbled upon SHARPpy Reimagined. Interesting platform, but no substitute for Bufkit's time series /jargon

So, folks, we are not preparing for #DaylightSavingTime (just got an email from a local governmental authority saying we were). We are preparing for this year's END of D.S.T. Overnight we are going back to #StandardTime.

We're in Daylight Saving Time now. Next week we got back to Standard Time.
Daylight saving time is just over a week away, meaning clocks in the U.S. will "fall back" an hour for the colder months. kvue.com/article/news/nation…
As a man having his first backyard garden since childhood, I am loving this weather pattern. I have a very late season bumper crop of tomatoes and peppers (the early crops were sparse). However, the sun is blocked by a tree now most of the day and the stuff refuses to ripen.

🌪️ RARE TORNADO WATCH ISSUED FOR ARIZONA — FIRST TIME IN 16 YEARS!
This is a big deal for our neighbors to the south. The Storm Prediction Center has issued Tornado Watch for portions of northern and central Arizona through 6 PM MST today.
While Utah is not included in this tornado watch, the same storm system bringing an active weather pattern to the Southwest is worth watching here at home, too.
Strong wind shear across Arizona will support potentially dangerous supercell thunderstorms this afternoon and evening.
The main threats include:
🌪️ A few tornadoes
🧊 Scattered large hail, with some stones potentially reaching 2.5 inches in diameter
💨 Damaging wind gusts up to 70 mph
Thunderstorm coverage is expected to increase through the afternoon, and a few storms could become intense.
⚠️ A tornado watch means conditions are favorable for tornadoes and severe thunderstorms. Anyone in the watch area should stay weather aware and be ready to take shelter if warnings are issued.
Arizona tornado watches are relatively rare, making this a notable setup across the Southwest. I’ll continue to keep an eye on how these storms evolve and what it could mean for Utah’s weather. Stay safe!
And we'll have blue skies over Dundalk and the whole region today. #iykyk #Baltimore #Maryland #MDwx

Every single one of these words have been in the final round, which is why they lose.
Since my departure from the televised grand spectacle, I have been thoroughly engulfed in an absolute maelstrom of relentless activity. Our peregrinations have ferried us across a multitude of exotic, ultramontane realms, wherein we experienced the profound jubilation of reconvening with long-estranged compatriots. Concurrently, I have surrendered my intellect to the voracious consumption of dense, hermetic tomes, immersing myself in the labyrinthine intricacies of highly recondite and intellectually stimulating subject matters. In a plurality of dimensions, my current state of existential industriousness vastly eclipses any prior epoch of my life. It’s been really cool.

Not that this is an unbelievably quiet weather pattern, but I am stretching like Armstrong to fill two minutes and thirty seconds.

I've always wanted to be a character actor. Here went one of the best ever. #RichardRiehle
