@GavinCSkies Yet to go on it but did do a helicopter flyover!!

Awesome shelf over the ocean at Myrtle Beach, have had incredible storms here with beautiful lightning and clouds!

Hello everyone, was someone else able to see this ray at around 5:27 AM CDT January 2026? Pics with timestamps and location would be amazing to run some triangulations. Thanks in advace, Andrea :)

Wow that would be bad if that actually happened.

Hazy Milkyway tonight ✨

For the first time in history, a level 3 risk is in place across much of northern and western Maine, with this categorical risk also present across the northern portions of New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York. A fast moving Canadian shortwave trough and its associated jet streak are digging southeastwards, perfectly timed to intercept a very moist boundary layer. Strong daytime heating will allow for more than sufficient instability, with thunderstorms expected to develop sometime in the mid-to-late afternoon hours. Storms should initiate in Canada closer to Montreal and Quebec, with subsequent clusters tracking rapidly southeastwards into the evening. The arrival of a mid-level jet will maximize large-scale ascent while ramping up deep-layer shear to be anomalously high for this region. This overlap will support a dangerous mixed convective mode consisting of discrete supercells and growing linear segments. Bowing lines will pose a significant wind threat, with wind gusts potentially greater than 70mph possible. Additionally, with all the shear, intense, rotating updrafts are favored presenting a risk for large hail (which could be >2" diameter locally) along with tornadoes. A strong tornado or two could exist with any supercells that can sustain and remain surface-based. This is an incredibly rare event in an area that does not see severe weather often, especially of this magnitude. Maine only averages 2 tornadoes in a year, and the last confirmed tornado in northern Maine specifically was in June 2010, when an EF-1 touched down in Penobscot County. It will be critical to have a way to receive warnings throughout this afternoon into the early overnight hours if you are in today's risk.

Oh my goodness I cannot imagine the sun not rising here until 9 AM here 😭

@Stupercell @StormCat5_ wait I may be blind 😭😭

@GavinCSkies @StormCat5_ Well the image already shows the feels like. Lol

Winnipeg hit a heat index of 114 today. That coupled with 80 degree dewpoints and giant plague like misquotes made for a lovely day up there. I'd still take that over 20° any day. Who is with me?

The sunset last night was magical and nobody could tell me otherwise :]

SUNSET OF THE YEAR INCOMING NE OH

Secondary sunset happening now

Here’s a shot of some mammatus clouds I got yesterday with my drone! I’d say this was the highlight of my day. :]
