Absolutely breathtaking view of the Artemis II launch. Wow.

@weatherdak @CNN Welcome to the team!

Ok! I am absolutely thrilled to announce I've joined @CNN as a digital meteorologist. I'm so grateful for this opportunity and cannot wait to help the team accomplish some cool stuff!

6 AM Sun: Light precip is spreading into the region. Mainly rain at the onset from around I-78 and south, then precip will become heavier and transition to snow starting late morning and into the afternoon. Snow for most areas by evening. Latest briefing: weather.gov/media/phi/curr…

Atmospheric River getting going in Southern California. Rare high risk excessive rainfall for this area. #cawx #AtmosphericRiver #California #CaliforniaWeather

Desperation has set in for Black River after Hurricane Melissa destroyed the city and rescue/aid efforts have been slow. @jpetramala @BryceShelton01

NEW: A significant gap in weather balloon coverage in western Alaska, caused by Trump admin cuts to NOAA/NWS, may have hurt the forecast accuracy for the deadly storm there over the weekend. cnn.com/2025/10/14/wea…

How about *only* hurricane pairings in the Atlantic and for the entire period of record (since 1851). What are the closest two hurricanes have ever been recorded? Humberto and Imelda right at the top. The nearest reliable contender was Easy and Fox back in 1951.

The track trend from the NHC since #PTC9 was designated on Friday for future #Imelda #TD9

Hurricane Humberto, Cat 4 (at the time taken), from the @Space_Station, Sept 27, 1512 GMT. Nikon Z9 | 24/50-500mm.

#Humberto has a meso sector on it now. As a strong Category 4, it has a nice, cleared out stadium effect eye. You can even see the low level clouds spinning around in the eye! Always love the views like this

The sun sets on Hurricane Humberto. Today, Humberto rapidly intensified into a Category 3, major hurricane.

@JessicaArnoldy @Weatherstem Congrats!

Super excited to announce that I’ll be joining the team @weatherstem as their Director of Content and Meteorology

First day versus last day at the @weatherchannel plus every single tropical storm in the Atlantic Basin since then. Truly a childhood dream to spend nearly 20 years here. I will miss it and the wonderful people I worked with so much!

Definitely feels like a hurricane is just off the coast. #hurricaneerin #obx

NOAA buoy 41001 (~170 mi. E of Hatteras, NC) is in teeth of #Erin. So far, peak gust to 85 mph, with significant wave height of 39.7 feet. With max wave heights usually 2x sig. wave heights, that could mean 80-foot peak waves! Can't wait to see cam photos after sunrise. 🍿

Hey there! Would you happen to know where I could find a reputable source with information similar to what's on this graphic? Like a list? I can't find what these diameter's are based on, and looking for a more legitimate source anyway. :) Thanks! (Source: youtube.com/watch?v=NoxKH_…)

Erin is truly an extraordinary hurricane, one of the biggest and most powerful we've seen in this part of the Atlantic. Mercifully it'll spare the U.S. an otherwise extensive and devastating blow, but we won't escape major coastal problems. My latest ⬇️ michaelrlowry.substack.com/p/enormous-eri…

No two #hurricanes, or their impacts, are exactly alike. But I feel some deja vu seeing the #Erin forecast with Earl almost 15 years ago. Earl was closer to the OBX than Erin's current forecast. But Erin is already larger than Earl was at its closest pass.

If you think I've forgotten about the hurricane satellites, think again. The Navy is permanently unplugging them this week, on the brink of the busiest stretch of the season. There's so much more to this story, and I have the latest scoop. ⬇️ michaelrlowry.substack.com/p/navy-set-to-…

This past week, visualized through river gauges. All 1,000-year #flood events. #Chicago metro also had an extreme flood event last night too, but fortunately rivers are holding. *Hill Country, Texas *Chapel Hill, North Carolina *Ruidoso, New Mexico
