🌀On the snap of my fingers, everyone will agree that NOAA and NSF should continue to do fundamental weather research 🫰

Alrighty, ready to see something really cool? (and maybe a little nauseating)

The evolution of Hurricane Melissa's mesovortices at peak strength.

Some interesting views from low earth orbit of the effects of Melissa on land/ocean. Check out the brownish ocean color near land in the second picture. Sediment runoff

👀 all the sediment

Reiterating the noise canceling headphones if you can. Makes it feel much more relaxing and ambient to stare out the window with some of your favorite music. Also helps hear any movies you watch on the plane without volume maxed. My wife and I also do compression socks on > 3 hour flights

Not many insitu insturments can record this type of speed. Even the radar folding would be nuts

This should only apply to those government employees who are in charge of deciding the government budget and if the government is open or closed …

Ever wonder what the second-wettest 24 hours on record in Salt Lake City looks like? A strong shortwave passed through on Saturday, delivering a rare all-day rain and dropping 2.39 inches at the airport!

Love the visible marker of winter approaching

Fall in Salt Lake. A short story 🍃

Love fall cold fronts 🍃

When it rains it pours?

Bye bye top 25. Straight terrible in all 3 phases of the game

It kills me that football is a game of inches and it still relies on refs “eye balling” where the ball was 🙄 Bills robbed of another drive from a poor spot

Randy Chase @dopplerchase.bsky.social · Sep 8

Yeah… the Jackson + Henry combo is nuts, especially when the team has been drafted and built to defend the pass

Randy Chase @dopplerchase.bsky.social · Sep 8

Down 9, gotta try for as many points as possible. More trust in Josh and the offense than the 41 year old kicker we just signed

Also a very happy Ambient Weather owner. Love the app, only one small quirk with the wifi going down and not reconnecting until a hard reset, but that is solved with a smart plug
