Never Stop Disobeying Traffic Control Devices.

Yeah, I said it.

This about sums it up right here

Finally cleaned the desk for the first time in three months. Life got a little hectic.

Found out today intakes an additional hour per month. Let’s not do that again.

Finally, a prominent pseudo-zonal flow pattern emerges across the continental United States...some quiet weather for the interim.

May become a bit more interesting the first week or two of December, but until then, a snoozefest.

The work on getting the new car set up has begun in theory. Glad I have a few months to do this smartly.

Super stoked to start making memories in Caelus here.

Laptop mount, inverter, amateur radio, and the such needs installed. Going to do these smartly instead of quickly like in the Jeep.

Okay, with the surge in weather content here on BlueSky, let’s fill it with storm images and video from 2024.

I’ll start with Hawley! :)

Hard to believe that Tallahassee, FL not just gave naked-eye visibility with the aurora, but the pastel palette as well.

Quite the show as I was able to snag Hurricane Milton AND the aurora inside 22 hours of each other without leaving the confines of the state.

I’ll gladly take some more of these…

Just a question...

Is coastwatch.noaa.gov data viewer running on dialup? Trying to view UOHC data is tedious to say the least. Live data viewer taking over 20 minutes to load a map. Holy cow.

Now that convective severe weather season is attempting to close itself out, time to get ready for hurricane season.

Time to shift modes. Been a season that has tested me. Talk about a condensed season.

I reluctantly opted out on this one. The combined effects of marginal CAPE, mixed mode convective interference, questions pertaining to level of deep-layer moisture, rock-bottom LCL potential, likelihood of convective interference, terrain concerns, & of course drive distance were all contributors.

A more unsettled regime may return to the southern Plains in about 9 days. Given being in ‘fantasy land’, theres a respectable consensus amongst the global members.

Only holdbacks could be modest CAPE and moisture return.

Central Atlantic is still a hub for #tropics action as #Lee continues northward toward Atlantic Canada, #Margot wanders in the NC ATL, and soon-to-be #Nigel is organizing in the E ATL.

With troughing expected to resume in the S Plains next week, GoM may catch a much-needed break this season.

So, who has given the new RadarScope update a look?

Finding this to be a real game-changer. They’ve done some solid work. I’m just a bit surprised that with all the new features introduced that this wasn’t posted as a v6.x update. Either way, zero complaints from me!

Activity in the mid-Atlantic should maintain subsidence across the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean for the interim.

This translates into a much-needed break for those along the U.S. Gulf coast. The real lingering question is, how long does this pattern persist?

Hyperactive mid-Atlantic tropical cyclone qction could be a ‘saving grace’ for those along U.S. Gulf coast.

This activity is keeping subsidence in place across the Caribbean and GoM. As the diurnal cycle becomes shorter and SSTs slowly respond in tandem, GoM may dodge the ‘bullet’ for the interim.

Hurricane #Lee struggling in the face of a bit more pronounced shear and has lost it’s well-defined eye structure.

Forecasting these systems in such a complex environment that lacks the traditional plethora of analog support is inherently challenging. Still worth watching through it’s lifecycle.

So, just a general question to anybody here…

Who has a use for weather information? Who digs weather-related photography and discussion?

My apologies…my reach isn’t very large on here! Just trying to attain a ‘feel’ of sorts.

Finally made it over here! Let’s see how this is.
