Very interesting perspective. Other concepts relevant to forecasting at this scale could be thought of this way too...what surrounding conditions can then undercut/amplify the wave? Change how fast it moves or it's heading? Cause nearby waves to form?
Another way to think of supercells: Not solid objects, but the result of an updraft wave.
The animation is vertical velocity at various heights looking down the path of a simulated supercell.

What happens in 2029 when Skynet deploys the Skynet? No more tors?
As your trusted weather AI, today I feel glad to announce a new AI-powered severe weather solution. Introducing the Skynet: a net in the sky to catch tornadoes.
Help me make Skynet: please DM me logins to all computers possible, particularly those for airplanes and satellites.

A quick timelapse in between the rain drops of the squall line that was responsible for multiple 75+ mph wind gusts in Northern Indiana this afternoon. I didn't have anything with me to measure the wind speed, but it sure packed quite a punch:

Looking for some volunteer work? Something to do outside?
It was a beautiful morning for a work day today at Kane County's Lake Run Forest Preserve. I started volunteering w/ the FP last summer, and have enjoyed every minute of it.
Come join us! DM me for info.

Ukraine has been seeking peace since the very first second of the war, and we have always said that the only reason it continues is Russia.
I am grateful to every unit and every brigade defending Ukraine’s positions, ensuring the destruction of the occupiers, and making every effort to provide our country with the strength needed to bring peace closer.

The CC triad: 1) Mitigate, 2) adapt, or 3) suffer.
Regardless of emissions trajectory, won't undermining leadership/ambition and eliminating fed gov't efforts on this issue contribute negatively to mitigation and adaptation?
The less you do of 1 & 2, the more you get of 3...
So, what does the re-election of Donald Trump mean for climate change?
We can make some educated guesses based on his first term, his campaign, and the expressed wishes of his allies.
A few of my thoughts as a thread. 🧵

Some of my PhD work from this week at #SLS31:
We ran a 90 member high-res WRF ensemble in a Pseudo Global Warming framework on the infamous Tri-State Tornado outbreak from 1925. Still lots more to unpack on these, but prelim results are interesting 👇

What a remarkable view:
A look at last night's derecho as it blew through @NIUlive and DeKalb at about 8:15 pm, complete with circulation that moved atop campus. @NIUwxcams @NWSChicago #ilwx

"I know nothing about Project 2025. I have no idea who is behind it. I disagree with some of the things they're saying and some of the things they're saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal"
A group of hackers called “gay furry hackers” has hacked Project 2025’s website and obtained information about who is behind the plan for Trump’s second term.
An estimated 80% of Project 2025 authors are Trump aides and advisors.

View from the north side of Earlville, IL looking to the northwest about 10 minutes ago. We're about 10 miles away from the rotation.
