Thank you @MaxVelocityWX , we are going to do great things together!
I’m very excited to announce I am donating $10,000 to the National Storm Chaser Summit to help bring life-saving storm shelters to communities that need them most!
One thing that has always stuck with me is knowing that some families simply don’t have a safe place to go when a tornado strikes.
I want to do my part to help change that.
We can’t stop tornadoes, but if we can help give more families a safe place to go, that’s what matters most.
I’m thankful to be able to give back and hopefully make a difference when it matters most!

Let's talk rainfall totals. The good news is we've received several inches of much needed rain over the last few days (2-11 inches). The bad news: we're still behind, with most locations at 70-80% of normal for the last 365 days. Our next chance for rain comes late next week.
Just a reminder, ticket sales go
Up on November 1st for the @chaser_summit

50/50 on chasing tomorrow.. I want to chase.. but I’m lazy! And according to an army of 16 to 20 year olds inexperienced and need to stick to being a “pig”!
I’m afraid the story of this storm is going to be the tornadoes/Waterspouts we’re about to see over the next 12 hours!
I mean… now that we’re all arguing about my expertise and lack of experience… I’ll take this W and move on behalf of the millions who dodged the bullet tonight… but I’ll humbly accept your apologies! Have a great night and all my peeps chasing.. stay safe
We did at the *very last* minute get rapid core collapse in Hurricane #Isaias as extreme wind shear finally began ventilating the eye. Central pressure rose 13mb in 2 hours between the last two aircraft measurements, and the eyewall structure on radar fully opened up.
However, highly dangerous conditions are ongoing on the ground as Isaias nears imminent landfall in the vicinity of Destin, #Florida. Hope everyone stays safe tonight.

It's possible that the @NOAA_HurrHunter aircraft just measured the first solid evidence of vertical shear directly attacking the eyewall of Hurricane #Isaias. The last penetration measured an anomalous temperature spike at 750mb within the SW eyewall -—not within the eye—7C higher than the previously measured eye maximum.
This might be evidence of a rapidly descending flow belt caused by shear laterally forcing external air into the eyewall region, leading to a massive subsidence inversion. This is often observed in high-resolution modeling (see HAFS sounding from this morning's 06Z run). The dewpoint also sharply decreased concurrent with the temperature spike measured by aircraft, supporting the possibility that this phenomenon was observed.
This could foretell significant erosion of the southern eyewall in the near future, but time will tell. For now, Isaias remains as strong as ever according to the same aircraft data.

NHC UPDATE: Isaias now has sustained winds of 120 mph. Pressure 959 mb.
This will likely be the intensity peak. Shear will increase over the system this afternoon, and winds should be in the 100 mph range at the time of landfall tonight near Pensacola Beach.
Don't focus on the rating on the Saffir-Simpson scale, focus on impact. This is a high impact hurricane. 
*A 6-9 foot storm surge is now forecast along the Florida coast from the Alabama/Florida border to Grayton Beach. Expect a 4-6 ft storm surge from Dauphin Island to Alabama/Florida border. Mobile Bay 3-5 ft. A storm surge warning is in effect.
*Rain amounts along the coast will be in the 4-8 inch range along the coast and across far South Alabama. Amounts of 1-3 inches are likely over the northern and central counties of the state. A flash flood watch is in effect.
*Winds could gust as high as 50-60 mph across much of Alabama tomorrow morning; tropical storm warnings are in effect up to I-20, and a high wind watch is in effect north of I-20. The brings the possibility of long-duration power outages, not just on the coast, but for much of Alabama as well. Highest wind for the coast will come tonight from 6:00 p.m. until 3:00 a.m. For inland parts of Alabama, highest velocities will come from 3:00 a.m. until 12 noon.
*A few isolated tornadoes are possible across Southeast Alabama and the Florida Panhandle.
