The CPL Final is in the middle of a snowstorm in Canada, true North American soccer heritage...how could it get any better?
HOW ABOUT A FREAKIN' BICYCLE KICK EQUALIZER!!!

Today, a few friends and I were lucky enough to see the Washington Spirit win in penalties in front of a sold-out, post-season crowd at Audi Field! Perfect soccer weather. One of my favorite days in a long time! ⚽️🙌🏻

Alrighty, ready to see something really cool? (and maybe a little nauseating)
The evolution of Hurricane Melissa's mesovortices at peak strength.

Hurricanes feed off of warm water. Watch how quickly the eye of #Melissa collapsed as it moved onto land and over the mountainous terrain of Jamaica, and how quickly it is reforming now that it has moved back over water! I will be adding this radar loop to my earth science lectures.

Obvious wavenumber-5 mesovortex pattern within #Melissa’s eyewall earlier today — when the simulation matches reality. Just two decades ago, the very existence of mesovortices was still a matter of debate.

1-minute #GOES19/#GOESEast Visible images showed that soon after making landfall, the eye of Hurricane #Melissa became cloud-filled as the storm interacted with higher terrain on the western edge of Jamaica.

From a crewmember on yesterday's Teal 74 mission into now-Category 5 Hurricane #Melissa. As clear of an eye as you will see in the Atlantic basin.

Energy from Typhoon Halong near Japan may amplify the jet steam (excite the storm track) across the Northern Pacific / western North America this weekend. Scientifically known as tropical cyclone recurvature & extratropical transition.

Hi all. Apologies for going dark in recent months! I promise that I'm still around. Currently working on many things, including finalizing version 2.0 of the EMC Verification System, verifying new AI weather models, and preparing for the GFS v17 evaluation. I'll post more as things materialize! 🌎

The Atlantic season's 7th named storm, Tropical Storm Gabrielle, has formed. Gabrielle is expected to slowly strengthen and may approach Bermuda as a hurricane early next week.
