Textbook example of landspout tornadogenesis on a Florida sea breeze earlier. As soon as updrafts got going over a “kink” of spin along the sea breeze, that vorticity was stretched into a tornado

@CameronJNixon The big thing in my opinion is “is there visual confirmation that the vortex extends into the cloud base?” This could be a funnel cloud (like your #2). Otherwise it could just be “dust devil under cloud”

Should you report a dust swirl as a landspout? My personal checklist: 1. Be realistic; does it look like NWS needs to know? 2. Is it long-lived, and with a laminar funnel or wall cloud? 3. Is it under a *non-supercellular* storm? If all 3 are yes, report it.

Some random thoughts on the new era: As AI steadily creeps into our work in the fields of meteorology and programming, there is an inevitable uneasiness associated with "losing control" and "becoming obsolete" as human developers and scientists. It's a fear I've occasionally felt, anyway, and I know I'm not alone. I used quotes because, while these are valid feelings, I don't think they must be reality. The process of performing work is evolving as agents do more of it, but the impetus for that work is unchanged. We are the driving force of inspiration and curiosity that births our work in the first place. Taking ownership is the way to preserve autonomy and hard skills, and we're entering an era where that must be a personal, conscious choice. If you're a student, you must pursue knowledge and stay hungry, lest silicon crutches leave you with passing grades but no ability. Harness AI to enhance your learning process, but never yield your understanding to it. Only you can ensure that. If you're a programmer, AI is a dramatic accelerant - use it! It is the future of software. But insist on retaining ownership of your projects. Be a nosy manager, a steering influence on design decisions, and an intentional critic. The dopamine hit of pressing will eventually wrest authorship from you otherwise. If you're a scientist, AI is either expert-level in your field or will be someday. But science is still advanced by PIs, not AIs. Curiosity about the universe is a defining human trait - keep your curious hands on the rudder. Find the cutting edge and ride it; chances are you will advance the boundary with AI assistance far more than AI will alone. Much about this new era is intimidating, but also exciting. I say grab it all by the horns and harness these capabilities for doing good in the world and your own life. Just choose continuously to protect your own sovereignty and humanity. Life is ours to live. #NotWrittenByABot

Just saw that there was an outbreak of landspouts in Texas today. Just today I threw together an average of 672 landspout environment soundings from TX, OK, KS, CO, and NE. Here’s what it looks like! A HRRR proximity sounding from today has some similarities: deep, well-mixed…

…boundary layer (notice how the average landspout 0-1km lapse rates are superadiabatic), large dew point depressions (which actually leads to pretty low 3CAPE), steep mid-level lapse rates, and light low-level wind shear. Today’s RAP proximity sounding looks similar as well
