This is one of the wilder satellite animations I've seen in a minute... Wildfires produce their own thunderstorms while smoke wraps around a low pressure. What a fascinating view out of southern Kansas this evening.

short life update, just landed in Tokyo so not sure how much I'll be posting about American weather the next 3 weeks!

Would lowkey be surprised if we reach 10 names storms in the Atlantic this season. Hopefully should be a calm, quiet season... maybe

@225MPH_EF4 @BackpirchCrew Best I could find was this document swco-ir.tdl.org/server/api/cor… from Fujita which says that "inside strong suction vortices the windspeed probably reached 250 to 305 mph depending upon the altitude"

@BackpirchCrew Where’s this 305 mph number coming from

The 305 MPH, F5 tornado that tore through the heart of Xenia, Ohio on April 3rd, 1974. One of the most extreme tornado photographs in American History.

Warmth returns soon. Pool days are on the horizon.

Last night, a reported tornado likely touched down outside Tylertown, MS amidst some strong storms in the area. Since 2025, four tornadoes (if confirmed) have touched down within 10 miles of Tylertown. Since 2025, it quite literally might be the tornado capital of the world.

alright then

The CFS climate model continues to hint at a very wet Caribbean at the end of the month into June. In that same timeframe, low-level shear drops off, leaving a generally favorable environment. It is possible, that during this timeframe, organized convection/weak cyclone activity could be sustainable.
