IDEAL OCTOBER WEATHER ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ˜Ž Low humidity and no rain in sight for the SE US and Ohio Valley through the end of the week ๐Ÿšซ Then, the pattern will trend wetter to start November.

Cloud-free skies, pleasant temperatures, and peak fall foliage in the Appalachians! ๐Ÿคฉ How do the colors look in your neck of the woods? ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ“Trough Creek State Park, Huntingdon, PA

The lowest of lows and the highest of highs. ๐ŸŒ€โ˜€๏ธ The contrast between the lowest pressure on Earth right now (left) and some of the highest pressure (right) is striking. A violent Typhoon churns in the west Pacific while sprawling high pressure brings abundant sunshine across the United States.

Attending the @nwas.org Annual Meeting? Come say hi! We'd love to give you a sneak peek at what we've been building. ๐Ÿ‘€ The Weather Enterprise is changing more quickly than ever. We're here to support you. Broadcasters, EMs, operational forecasters, professors, and students: we'll see you soon!

'Tis the season! โ˜ƒ๏ธ The first significant elevation snow of the year is underway in Colorado. ๐Ÿ” The NWS predicts 4-12" of snow with winds gusting over 30 mph. ๐ŸŒฌ You can track every model, NWS forecasts, radar, and Advisories all in one spot with WF! โœ…๏ธ

So much to watch tonight in WF: ๐Ÿ’ฅConvection initiation along a sharp front โšช๏ธLarge hail-producing supercells ๐Ÿ”€Straight hodographs = storm splits ๐ŸชฒA bug-infested outflow boundary ๐ŸŽฅ Live storm chasers tracking it all

As Isaias approaches landfall, switching back and forth between different radars will be a must. ๐Ÿ“ก Press and hold anywhere on the map and WF will automatically switch to th closest radar. If a radar goes down, it will be excluded from the press-and-hold functionality!

๐Ÿšจ๐ŸŒ€Web App Update๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ๐Ÿšจ โœˆ๏ธHurricane Hunters: Follow reconnaissance flights into Hurricane Isaias with aircraft observations and dropsonde soundings. (Enable live data in the Layers menu) ๐ŸŒ€WeatherNext 2 & 3: Google DeepMind's WeatherNext 2 & 3 tropical cyclone ensembles are now available on the Models tab!

Can eye help you? ๐ŸŒ€๐ŸŒ€ Hurricane Nolo and Super Typhoon Choi-Wan are creating quite the spectacle right now in the West Pacific. ๐Ÿง

Watch those low pressure centers scatter. ๐Ÿ”€ Hurricane Rachel's future track is pretty straightforward through the end of the week, but where she goes next weekend is anyone's best guess. ๐Ÿค” Impacts will be minimal regardless of her path, but it's a cool visualization of forecast uncertainty! ๐ŸŒ€

WeatherFront is your one-stop shop for weather data on a mobile or desktop device. Track today's severe weather & flash flood threat across the Desert Southwest and Southern Plains. ๐ŸŒช๏ธ๐ŸŒง๏ธ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ

Significant rainfall and "numerous flash floods" are expected this week. The suite of MRMS hydrology products provides ELITE visualizations for scenarios like this. MRMS --> Hydrology --> Streamflow: CREST

There are 4 Moderate Flooding Risks this week, but not all flooding is created equal. TODAY-TUE: Wet ground can't handle more water - it's already saturated. WED-THU: Dry ground can't absorb water - it's hard as a rock. Different root causes, but both could lead to significant flooding impacts!

The Nor'easter has developed quite a swirl! Water vapor imagery illustrates the dry air (yellow) wrapping all the way around the central circulation and being pulled into the backside of the storm.

There's something surreal about a satellite image like this. Mostly sunny skies over Hawaii don't adequately capture the dangerous wind & waves on the ground. Yet, the sprawling major hurricane centered 300 miles off the the coast of the Big Island is a vivid reminder of Mother Nature's power.

Super Typhoon Surigae is about halfway between Okinawa and the Diato islands. The core of Surigae is expected to stay ~200 miles SE of Tokyo as it moves NE over the next few days. Kitadaito Airport is gusting to 59 mph, which is quite impressive given that it's 75 miles away from the eyewall!

For the first time since 4/20โ€ฆ There are no SPC severe weather risk areas across the US today. ๐Ÿšซโ›ˆ๏ธ A sure sign of Fall. ๐Ÿ‚

Friday thoughts: โœ…The atmosphere is incredible โœ…GOES satellites are a gift โœ…It's IMPOSSIBLE to be productive when there's so much eye candy to look at ๐Ÿคฉ

Excessive or Impressive? ๐Ÿค” We're using quad-pane to track Surigae, Nolo, Odalys, Polo, and the Nor'Easter all at the same time tonight! ๐ŸŒ€๐ŸŒง๐Ÿ’จ๐ŸŒŠ

๐ŸŒงA TROPICAL CONNECTION๐ŸŒ€ There's a Flash Flood Emergency in Mora, NM & a powerful hurricane off the south coast of Mexico. Despite being nearly 1500 miles apart, they're both fueled by the same plume of anomalous tropical moisture.

"...the SHIPS rapid intensification index is showing percentages as high as I have ever seen them." Very noteworthy discussion about TS Polo this morning from NHC's @ericblake12.bsky.social. We're about to see what happens when you put a tropical cyclone in nearly ideal conditions for growth.

๐ŸŽฅPURE CINEMA๐Ÿคฉ You can now export Model Comparison and Model Trend loops on the WF web app! Activate Compare Models or Compare Runs, use the Export tool, and then select the Compare Loop option at the bottom of the list.

Tornadoes CAN happen in the mountains! ๐ŸŒช๏ธโ›ฐ๏ธ NWS Salt Lake City confirmed a tornado Friday afternoon just east of Fruit Heights, Utah. Although tornadoes donโ€™t OFTEN form in the mountains, this is a great reminder that they can (and do) form in steep terrain.

๐Ÿšจ WF Update: SPAGHETTI PLOTS ๐ŸŒ€ The following tools are now available on ALL platforms: ๐Ÿ”€ Tropical Ensemble Tracks: GEFS, AIGEFS, ECENS & ECAIFS now include spaghetti plots, track density calculations & more ๐ŸŒ€ Hurricane Models ๐ŸATCF Multi-Model Tracks: Compare guidance from multiple tropical models

To access ensemble tropical products: select a global ensemble and choose an option from the Tropical menu. Model spaghetti plots: select ATCF at the bottom of the list of hurricane models.

๐Ÿˆ PEACE OF MIND, RAIN OR SHINE ๐ŸŒฆ๏ธ Tailgating, heading to the stadium, or watching from home? WeatherFront puts hyper-local weather monitoring in your hands with detailed street-level mapping, radar, lightning data, observations & forecast models all in one place. Happy Saturday, football fans. ๐ŸŸ๏ธ

DID YOU KNOW? Most of the time, NWS Advisories are issued by county. But that's not always the case. ๐Ÿšซ For heat and snowfall products in the western US, TERRAIN plays a big role. โ›ฐ๏ธ The Heat Advisories in California today fill every valley, resulting in JAGGED outlines! ๐Ÿฅต

Tracking storms with WeatherFront is addicting. ๐Ÿซฃ From watching animated spotter dots to using the Time of Arrival Tool and tilting/rotating the map, there are so many unique ways to visualize weather data! What's your favorite feature/product/tool to look at? โ›ˆ๏ธ

Watch the European Ensemble shift east with Lowell's track over the last 11 runs. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ The centerline is now nearly 150 miles east of what was forecast 72 hours ago. The result: more significant impacts for Kaua'i and Ni'ihau.

If you just look at radar reflectivity tonight in Central PA, you might think it's raining everywhere. ๐Ÿšซ This is where Correlation Coefficient comes in handy! High values (maroon) indicate locations with rain ๐ŸŒง, while greens, blues, and grays show biological scatterers (bugs ๐Ÿชฒ)!

Anak Krakatau is erupting. ๐ŸŒ‹ The Himawari-9 satellite vividly depicts a plume of volcanic ash being thrust into the atmosphere 100 miles west of Jakarta, Indonesia.

Itโ€™s #CollegeColorsDay and college football is back! ๐Ÿˆ The WF team may not agree on who to root for, but weโ€™re proud to rep our alma maters! ๐Ÿ“ฃ As our teams chase a national title, weโ€™ll keep grinding to ensure WeatherFront ALWAYS performs at an elite level.๐Ÿ“ˆ Who are you rooting for this fall? ๐ŸŒฐ๐ŸŒฝ๐Ÿšฃโ€โ™‚๏ธ

There will be 3 hurricanes in the Eastern Pacific Ocean for the next ~48 hours. ๐ŸŒ€๐ŸŒ€๐ŸŒ€ The Satellite tab in WeatherFront is calling your name. ๐Ÿ›ฐ๏ธ

WeatherFront reposted

Beaumont-Port Arthur definitely taking the brunt of what there is with #Edouard. KBPT now reporting sustained winds of 44 mph with gusts to 62 mph. Now have a good swath of 2-4" of rainfall in last 3 hours as well.
