Confidence continues to increase in a potentially significant #severeweather sequence this weekend across the Lower/Mid-MS valley into the Southeast/Mid-Atlantic region. All hazards (wind/hail/tornadoes) are possible at this juncture. Continue to monitor forecast updates. #weather

There might be a lot to be upset about, and things may seem dark… but the kindness and generosity of people will never cease to humble and astound me. Thank you.

Been sitting a while trying to come up with what to write regarding today's firings within NOAA, including those within the National Weather Service (NWS). To those affected, I am deeply sorry. Know that your accomplishments are greatly appreciated, no matter what is said to the contrary.

Forecasting this system has probably accelerated my balding by 10 years, but now its time to let it do its thing and see what happens.

If I end up bald sooner that I anticipated, forecasting systems like this with wild model trend swings are partially to blame.

Yes, we've seen the new computer model guidance this evening. While it certainly looks concerning in terms of potential impacts from this weekend's expected winter weather, we focus on trends—and so far, this appears to be a one-off suite.

Laying off meteorologists at NWS, which was already dealing with staffing issues, is a threat to public safety heading into severe weather season. No doubt everyone will give their best, but this adds stress to workers at wfo’s. There’s so many bright young Mets in our field. I’m so sorry.

If you’re an NWS met who will find themselves unfairly and unjustly looking for work, first let me say it’s terrible and wrong. And I hope you end up back helping keep us all safer and informed again sooner than later. This too shall pass (I hope).

Our final snowfall forecast is in as the winter storm approaches the region this afternoon. We've increased totals to the 8-12" range for areas near the Lake Huron shoreline, where lake enhancement is likely. This aligns with the Winter Storm Warning issued earlier this morning.

A winter storm appears likely to bring potentially significant snowfall to much of the region from Wednesday evening through Thursday morning. Based on computer guidance consensus, snowfall totals of 6 inches or more seems like a safe bet across most of the area.

Initial thoughts on who might see what with the incoming midweek storm system.

Enough consistency has appeared in computer models to allow our first forecast for potential precipitation types for the midweek storm system. Some north-south shifts remain possible as new guidance continues to come in. Mainly snow is now anticipated from the US-10 corridor and points north.

It hurts my heart today to announce that my stepdad went home early this morning to be with my momma. 💔 Keep on eye on her and Grandpa Ben up there. The rest of us have down here covered.

⚠️Snow squalls will be possible this afternoon and especially into the evening hours of today. Snow squalls are intense bursts of snow that when combined with the gusty winds in place today could lead to whiteout conditions and rapidly deteriorating road conditions.

Horrific scenes from the Los Angeles suburbs as multiple wildfires continue to burn. Fires are spreading rapidly thanks to the very high winds over the region (gusts within the 60-100+ MPH range!) PLEASE heed evacuation orders from local officials.

Fresh snowfall forecast for the lake-effect snow event set to begin thanksgiving night and is forecast to last at least through the holiday weekend, and even into portions of early next week.

We’re still monitoring snow chances for the Thanksgiving holiday. We created a graphical summary of what some of the major computer models we look at is projecting.
