I'm calling for a complete and total shutdown of 25-day below normal streaks, until we can figure out what the Hell is going on in PANC.

Yeah, I guess those 50-60 kt winds skimming over the top of the Brooks Range would do the trick.

Said cloud seems to be keeping the surface temperature rather comfortable at Fort Yukon.

Not quite sure what to call this: it doesn't seem like a true banner cloud that's anchored to the Brooks Range, but rather some sort of standing wave just downwind of that terrain. @alaskawx.bsky.social @alaskagina.bsky.social @climatologist49.bsky.social any thoughts? #AKwx

Unfortunately, this, like so much of what's going on in the country right now, is a problem that could be solved if JD Vance would simply stay the fuck out of Wisconsin.

True Color RGB images from @noaa.gov #GOESEast showed aircraft "glaciation trails" drifting across southern Lake Michigan -- caused by exhaust particles from jet engines that acted as efficient ice nuclei, causing ice crystals to grow larger and fall from the cloud layer.

The 1-minute GOES-19 imagery of Category 5 Hurricane #Melissa making landfall on Jamaica was certainly impressive -- more on the CIMSS Satellite Blog: cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/satellite-bl...
