The current REFS page uses a 20-color map for a lot of the fields, but that color map was made for light backgrounds. I've tweaked it to work on dark backgrounds. The the 4th (bronze color) segment was tricky. I had to tweak it until, when I showed the wife, she didn't say, "that looks like poop."

🚨 New PolarWx Model Viewer is live 🚨 It's been a while since my PolarWx model page got an upgrade - so today I'm releasing a new model viewer with a fully interactive and customizable layout, many more plots & models, and many new features. polarwx.com/models/

00Z Flagstaff sounding…10 g/kg mean mixing ratio in the desert, clockwise turning hodograph in the low-levels yielding 217 m^2/s^2 ESRH, over 800 J/Kg of MLCAPE, and PWAT of 0.87” which shatters the 00Z max for this day of 0.81 (record daily max is 0.92”).

EverythingWeather V1.8 is live on iOS, Android, and the web! Tons of updates across the board, including brand new custom precip notifications (experimental) that include PROB Severe info (if relevant), massive performance improvements on Android, some model data, and much more. everythingwx.com

I released v1.1 of the REFS page this morning. Here's the change log, which includes all the stuff in the quoted thread.

Having a little fun on my last day off with a little side project. The simulation ran on my GPU and is output every time step (0.5s), 25m grid spacing.

This morning's 12Z OUN sounding has a higher precipitable water than any other sounding taken outside the June 26-September 23 period. Hence the swath of very heavy rainfall in western OK overnight.

Someone around here is shooting off fireworks for that OU victory.

New update for Soundings out now. Supports hurricane hunter dropsondes, international data, and improved resolution data in the US. Link: apps.apple.com/us/app/sound...

Sometimes you just have to draw a line in the sand and say something is ready. I've spent the last month or so not only adding level II site functionality to Heimdall, but what I consider to be genuinely novel functionality and interactivity. It's live for you to try at heimdall.stormscale.io

I've made a few tweaks and bug fixes in the last week, and SPC REFS Viewer v1.0 is live! www.spc.noaa.gov/exper/refs/v...

Been working on a reimagination of ncview. It led me to create github.com/bbakernoaa/n...

Since 1988 when the NHC took responsibility for the eastern North Pacific, 44 hurricanes have intensified by 60+ kt in 24 hours (double the 30kt/24h threshold for RI). However, Hurricane Polo is in rare territory at +85 kt in 24 h. Only Linda (1997), Otis (2023), and Patricia (2015) outpaced this.

Oh, I see it's "convective line develops just east of us" season already. It's never gonna rain here again, is it?

A massive upgrade to almost all of our Latin American tornado data is now available on the site! We're aware of some additional data still for South America, but as of now we've included as much publicly available information as we could.

Another batch of fried rice.

Text I sent to the wife on August 27. Okay, it was three weeks, but close enough.

Huh. Well, I guess that explains the lack of Internet since early this afternoon.

OKC hit 105F today, breaking daily record by 3F and (from what I see in XM-ACIS) set record for hottest temperature so late in the season, which was 105F on 9/11/2000. forecast.weather.gov/product.php?...

I am unreasonably happy seeing this. This is exactly why we wanted to make the Mesoanalysis available!
