April Elliott: Pineapple Express expected in Pacific Northwest April is a meteorologist in Portland that I worked with during my time there. She’s very knowledgeable and her new blog is well worth a follow. weatherwithapril.com/2025/02/19/p... #orwx #wawx #pdxtst #weather

New article: M4.8 earthquake strikes near Squamish, felt throughout Lower Mainland ingallswx.com/2025/02/21/m... #YVR #earthquake

M4.7 #earthquake centered west of Squamish at 13:26 PT Friday. Felt throughout #Vancouver metro, including South Surrey (CN89ob). USGS: earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/... Did you feel it report: earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

Earthquake?

There’s a van on fire across the street from my office. Luckily the fire station is also across the street. Less than 1 minute response time. Flames were about 5 metres high at one point. Surrey • CN89ob #YVR

The next system to impact the Pacific Northwest approaches the coast, bringing an atmospheric river along with it.

I'm calling this paper from @tlyza89.bsky.social, @hebrooks87.bsky.social, and @mjkrocak.bsky.social *Required Reading* prior to tornado season. Where Have the EF5s Gone? A Closer Look at the “Drought” of the Most Violent Tornadoes in the United States journals.ametsoc.org/view/journal...

This is how you support your scientific community, @ametsoc.org. Excellent work! 🧪🌊 Note to other professional societies. Speak out, yes. But, words are not enough in these times. Help your members, and that includes those in underrepresented groups.

Making some additions to the Mount Adams Wilderness today in OpenStreetMap. We'll see how far I get before I get bored. A few weeks ago I did the Yakima County portion of the Goat Rocks Wilderness. Both are areas I go camping in in the summer.

#Vancouver #weather 20250221 It's atmospheric river weekend with a plume of moisture extending from the Philippines to Cascadia. Look for rain through the weekend but this is not looking like the major flood event we had last fall. Highs around 12. #YVR #BCstorm

Power demand is sky high in ERCOT this morning. This is the first time ERCOT has ever served 80,000 megawatts in the winter. We have a new battery storage record with 4,578 megawatts deployed at 7:15. Once again, batteries are playing a major role to keep the heat on. #txlege

mPING reports are proving very useful today in determining when snow shown on radar is actually reaching the ground in the Mid-Atlantic. #weather

Watching the Sacramento Valley for a few post-frontal thunderstorms this afternoon. Probably not enough wind shear for a tornado but profiles favor a few slow-moving cells with lightning, hail, funnel cloud(s) and maybe some localized flash flooding in Tehama, Butte counties. #CAwx

Vilifying DEI turns real people into targets. This is stochastic terrorism. www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/n...

#Weather radar is indicating snow falling from the clouds above Washington, D.C., but the air is so dry that it appears to be sublimating before reaching the ground. Air temp is -4°C, dew point is -18°C. #DCwx #VAwx #MDwx #weather

It's so dry that almost none of this snow is making it to the ground. A winter storm warning turned into "maybe flurries." I don't know what this area did to ward off snow, but props to whoever whipped up that curse. Can I contract your services?

I just looked at a map of temperatures and wow there are a lot of different kinds of temperatures

Irving, TX is renowned for its lake effect snow

An atmospheric river is forecast to impact Cascadia this weekend. It will be carrying moisture all the way from the Philippines. Warming temperatures and much higher snow levels are expected. #BCstorm #WAwx #ORwx #weather

#Vancouver #weather 20250219 FROPA day with rain. Some areas may see more than 25 mm, especially near the mountains. Showers tomorrow and possibly an atmospheric river this weekend. Highs near 10 for the next week or so. Snow levels rising quite a bit under the AR. #YVR #BCstorm

Rainfall Warning Issued for #HoweSound #Squamish

Another new #solar #energy generation record yesterday in PJM - 10,100 MW. #RenewableEnergy

Churchill folks after it's the 2nd day in a row they are the Provincial "Hot Spot" ⬇️ 😂 -Justin. 🤓 #mbstorm #churchill #hotspot #balmyweather #winter #manitoba #funny

#Vancouver #weather 20250218 Some rain showers and comparatively warm, high around 8. Rain tonight and tomorrow, possibly heavy at times. Cloudy Thursday then more rain Friday into the weekend. #YVR #BCstorm

Turbulence well visualized on water vapor this morning.

Andrew and I enjoyed some time outside hiking in Riding Mountain National Park yesterday afternoon as the extreme cold temperatures started settling into Western Manitoba. I think that was the most amount of ICE I’ve ever had on my face! 🥶 🧊 -Justin and Andrew. 🤓 🌪️ #mbstorm #cold #ridingmountain

#Vancouver #weather 20250217 Rain showers all week, how beautiful. Looks like the heaviest rain will come Wednesday afternoon and then again on Sunday. #YVR #BCstorm

The Salar de Atacama is weird--it's a giant 100 km by 80 km depression sitting in the middle of the high Western Andes about two and a half km above sea level, on top of large, surprisingly tick and strong chunk of lithosphere. (Photo from: eros.usgs.gov/earthshots/s...)

PJM just set a new record solar generation of 10,023 MW beating the old record of 8,987 MW set last week. This is the time of year when many new solar parks come online and enjoy more sunshine, bringing many new records. ingallswx.com/2025/02/13/t... #energy #solar #RenewableEnergy

#Vancouver #weather 20250214 Mostly cloudy for the forseeable future. High around 6 today, 7 through the weekend. Rain showers possible starting tonight but more likely tomorrow afternoon into Sunday. Rain again Tue-Wed. #YVR #BCstorm
