@SeattleWXGuy Terrifying to think how bad this could get...

Some of the storm damage coming out of Hawaii is pretty bad, washed out roads, mandatory evacuations, trees down, hundreds of thousands without power, sewage plants overwhelmed. But remember, we aren't done with Maui and the Big Island really under the gun until early next week.

@RyanVoutilainen That's a lot of rain for the Kona side...normally those SW slopes of Haleakala are super dry

Over the last 24h a “Kona Low” has dropped over 820mm of rain on Haleakalā volcano on the Hawaiian Island of Maui — to compare Vancouver YVR saw 941.3 mm in all of 2025! This low eventually sending a true “Pineapple Express” atmospheric river our way BC! 🍍 #HIwx #BCStorm #BCwx

@JordanHallWX Amen to that

I’m actually getting very annoyed with every new age chaser always attacking and going after the SPC for outlooks. Just because the last 3 years of chasing has been bonkers tornado wise doesn’t mean you are all forecasting geniuses. It’s not always as simple as a HRRR/RRFS run to show you a squall line and call it trash for putting a 10% hatch. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk

@MCCCANM Is this a public site? Does red mean severe?

Rough night to cross the Pacific. Serious turbulence for about 2 hours leaving the islands. Over the ocean, pilots talk on a “common” frequency. They report their turbulence & ask others about theirs. We’re all looking for a smoother ride, mostly by changing altitude. Sometimes you can jump off one track to another, but that’s rare. By listening, you start assembling a picture of where things are worst. There is always someone going the same direction as you & you can kind of buddy up with them, exchanging info as you go. The traffic coming opposite direction will want to know what it’s like ahead of them. The radio can be pretty lively! There weren’t any smooth rides tonight. You’d have to stay too low & burn too much fuel down there. The tracks to the north of ours seem to have had it worse…some were unable to hold altitude & had to request a “block” of altitude so they could bounce it out. (You normally maintain one altitude, but in this case ATC can give you a block, like from 32,000’ to 34,000’, and you try to maintain 33,000’…it’s OK if you bounce off your altitude as long as you don’t exceed the top or bottom of the block) Anyway, if your headed across the Pacific to the islands today, plan on having the seatbelt sign on for about 2 hours departing or arriving. Enjoy the ride!

I’ve photographed a lot of animals, but foxes might just be my favorite 🦊 What’s yours?

🚨 A very significant atmospheric river is on tap for SW British Columbia, with potentially 100-200 mm of rain over 4-5 days, beginning Sunday night! Freezing levels will rise to 3,000 m! This is possibly the last weekend to ski on the local mountains... #BCstorm

Stay tuned for a new blog post: Examining the meteorological environment of Calgary's top 7 most destructive hailstorms! Watch out for it tomorrow (Saturday) morning. #yyc #abstorm

Great read. I don't have enough faith to be an atheist. x.com/i/status/20321…

@CIRA_CSU @CKStamms

Thunderstorms are beginning to fire up southwest of Chicago, having already produced large hail and a tornado. Portions of Illinois and Indiana are under a moderate risk for severe weather through tonight.

What goes well with chili? 🥣 and you can't say crackers

VIOLENT TORNADO KANKAKEE, IL! On I-57 @WxWiseApp @foxweather @ryanhallyall

HOLY SH*T THE ILLINOIS STATE RECORD HAILSTONE OF FIVE INCHES IN DIAMETER HAS BEEN FOUND NW OF BUCKINGHAM WE DID IT @MyRadarWX

@Rainmaker1973 Ichiban

What would you name this cat

@RyderDAR @ABDanielleSmith Those would be bad, too, which is why my first choice is keeping the annual time changes.

@BadWeatherKyle @ABDanielleSmith 9:45 AM sunrises would be worse. Standard Time.

Should Alberta ditch changing the clocks and stick to one time year round? Tell me what you think below 👇

Wow...the Rockies west of Calgary are really shining this morning! Given current forecast trends, parts of the Alberta mountain snowpack could end up building to near-record levels this spring...#yyc

@jeffreyslen Yep, that's a shelf cloud! They can certainly look ominous, especially with the sun shining on them, making the base look even darker.

@BadWeatherKyle This pic was taken today, at the top of Nosehill Park in Calgary, while walking my dog. About 8:45am March 8 2026. It actually made me scared since it looked like a summer storm coming in… just so ominous looking clouds for winter?! Any thoughts?

A very SNOWY pattern is setting up across much of southwestern Canada and the northwestern US over the next 2 weeks! ❄️❄️❄️ This map shows forecast precipitation relative to normal for the next 15 days...dark green and blue areas are much wetter than normal. #abstorm

Lightning just lit up the Wintering Hills wind farm southeast of Drumheller! 🌩 This cluster of strikes were likely upward flashes, triggered off the tips of the spinning turbine blades as a charged area of cloud passed overhead. #abstorm
