From intern to full-time meteorologist, my time at Channel 15 is coming to an end. I've decided to turn my career away from TV weather- no more 2AM alarms for me! This will be my final weekend on the Morning Show ☀ ((don't feel the need to bring up the bangs))

It's official — Wisconsin has a new all-time state record. #wiwx Read more about the verifying process and who's involved in the latest blog on our website 📜

The @NCAR_Science is quite literally our global mothership. Nearly everyone who researches climate and weather - not only in the US, but around the world - has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources. The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) supports the scientists who fly into hurricanes, the meteorologists who develop new radar technology, the physicists who envision and code new weather models, and yes - the largest community climate model in the world. That too. Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet. usatoday.com/story/news/pol…

A temperature of -2°F in Madison this morning made for the city's earliest sub-zero temperature since 1985! #wiwx

It snowed at my house

The first snow of the season on State Street, Madison, WI. #wiwx #StormHour @spann

breaking: wx memes are back

Storms on Aug. 9 created a 1,000-year event in southeast Wisconsin — but what does that mean? It refers to the probability of an event of that size, not the frequency of its occurrence. Notice how amounts that would constitute a 1,000-year rainfall vary across the state! #wiwx

A high-resolution view of Tropical Storm Erin this morning. Erin is forecast to become a major hurricane over the next five days.

The Milwaukee River reached an all-time record crest of 11.19ft at Estabrook Park. Debris was seen flowing down the river through downtown. The highest crest was 10.48ft on July 22nd, 2010. #wiwx @tmj4

So far, the highest preliminary total we've seen reported by NWS for yesterday was just 0.08" shy of the state's single-day rainfall record. #wiwx

This was just before 1 in the morning outside of American Family Field. Multiple cars stuck inside feet of water. @WISN12News

Introducing a new series, NOAAstalgia: Picturing Our Past. Every other week, The NOAA Heritage Program will be sharing photos from NOAA's history. In this week's photo, a young woman launches a pilot weather balloon. Women's first professional opportunities in meteorology occurred as a result of World War II. Women joined the Weather Bureau (the predecessor to today’s National Weather Service) as observers and forecasters to fill job vacancies. By 1945, more than 900 women were in the Bureau, with many offices made up almost entirely of women. Keep up with the NOAAstalgia series at noaa.gov/heritage/noaas…

As of 9 AM, six Wisconsin cities are in the top 10 for worst air quality in the country, according to IQAir. Some places in northeast Wisconsin are reporting even worse conditions, with AQI levels over 200. #wiwx
