8,885 lightning strikes along the Front Range of the Rockies and onto the Colorado Plains over the last hour. #COwx

Window hammock catto became desk catto thanks to some fairly close CG lightning strikes here in Loveland, CO.

First it was noticeable that AWS was having issues (Twitch). No status update. Then, GCP was having issues (Discord). No status update. Now Cloudflare reports issues? What in the world is going on here? Was it CF all along? Why can't I load my GCP Console if it's only CF? Downdetector having a day.

Scanning tornado-warned storm near at Levelland, TX during @nsficechip.bsky.social IOP#11.

Suddenly everyone believes that they're able to write a better weather app than those that are already out there. I'm all for innovation but when you come to me asking for my weather data for some AI-written slop and don't even know how to program, neither of us are going to have a good time.

Prolific smoke from the Canadian wildfires has dipped as far south as Florida this afternoon.

From the NWS (what @akrherz.bsky.social and I suspected): Data dissemination problems have resumed. Radar data, obs and products (including WWA) are seeing frequent and lengthy delays. NCF support are investigating the issue.

SHARPLib v1.0.0-rc.4 is available via ‘pip’ on PyPI, as well as ‘conda’ on conda-forge. Because of its release candidate status, it is not yet in the main conda-forge channel, but still accessible. github.com/keltonhalber...

Strap yourselves in folks, I have a quasi-hot take to share. mattlanza.substack.com/p/on-warning...

The feels when auditing my company's data subscriptions and running across a fellow chaser that passed 2 years ago still paying for their subscription. Ugh.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. www.unidata.ucar.edu/blogs/news/e...

RadarScope 5.4 for Android also includes surface observations for Pro Tier Two and AllisonHouse customers, historical NWS bulletins for Pro Tier Two, and location reporting improvements for Spotter Network members. 3/3

Data (including Watches, Warnings, and Advisories) are not being transmitted to or received from the NWS Telecommunications Gateway in Boulder at this time. #USwx

UNIQUE VISUALS! Sharing 3D @allisonhouse.com data LIVE on our Outbreak storm coverage last night with Meteorologist @stormcat5.bsky.social. What a different way to visualize radar of tornado warned storms!

Also in jeopardy: Engineering + IT support for N-Wave, NOAA's internet + network provider. N-Wave transmits weather forecasting data. Internal email warns of "significant service disruptions” if contracts aren't extended. Details for @bloomberg.com (free link): www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

What the crap is that

Town of Taylorsville, MS looks to have taken a direct strike from this confirmed large and extremely dangerous tornado…

The dark blue in the lower image is a signature of airborne tornadic debris :-(

Not good to see these two circulations move over and next to Collins, MS. Remember driving on US-69 in 2020 down to Hattiesburg and seeing the damage swath from the 4/12/2020 tornado that went through somewhere very close by. I hope everyone is okay.

Oklahoma fires blowing up in a two-hour time period on Shortwave IR satellite. #OKwx

Border-to-border and only 3 counties away from being coast-to-coast Watches, Warnings or Advisories. #USwx

NWS to begin disseminating Canadian weather radar data via the Satellite Broadcast Network (SBN) / NOAAPORT beginning December 9, 2024. Only 23 of the 31 radars will be included to reduce the impact and is focused on those adjacent to the United States. #wxbluesky
