David, I can’t believe it’s been 15 years. You have absolutely earned some rest and reprieve! Thank you for all you and the crew have done to keep Mid TN informed and safe. Thank you for being a resource for family and friends when the weather gets rough, and thank you for being a good friend.

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for the support and kind words from everyone in the community. It really helped in getting through this rough time not to mention made clear the importance of our mission and the positive impact we have. Rough waters remain ahead but I’m grateful to be here.

v2.3.1 is live, which includes the 2024 US data and the Philippines data! This also includes the globe view and bug fixes for European environment data and missing wind barbs for all environment data on some machines. tornadoarchive.com/home/tornado...

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.

I’m a little behind, but… Andor S2:E8. That was 47 minutes of straight gas. Holy. Crap.

One of the things I’m most proud of with this library is the ability to have interchangeable calculations for moist ascent. Currently supports old Wobus pseudoadiabats (liquid only) and CM1 adiabats/pseudoadiabats (liquid, or liquid + ice). Hope to include Davies-Jones & Entrainment (John Peters)

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...

Some of my personal favorite captures from yesterday, and arguably my best tornado photos I’ve taken in a decade.

This weekend has been wild and just the absolute coolest. I worked a full weekend of severe wx issuing MDs, assisted in the issuance of the initial 06Z Day 1 outlook w/ Mark Darrow, got home at 2 AM, woke up, and got right up next to a drillbit tornado. Literally living the dream right now.

Tornado near Arnett shortly before 6pm this evening.
