A reminder that today is the final day for the NAM, SREF, HREF, HiresW models and NAM MOS. Tomorrow they are retired with the RRFS and REFS becoming the NCEP flagship mesoscale models.

I don’t think the hydrological event in southwest Colorado is getting enough attention. This flooding event is historic and that is not hyperbole. The San Juan River at Pagosa Springs is now expected to crest at 19.38 feet; nearly 4.5 feet higher than the historic flood just last week and almost 2 feet above its all-time record. Successive events of similar magnitudes compound impacts given that infrastructure has previously been weakened. I expect this event to cause significant damage to infrastructure across much of Southwest CO.

Large candy bars are the considered the holy grail, but giving them out on Halloween missed the point of the holiday, @ibogost argued in 2017: theatln.tc/0pZou0zj

6 years ago tonight (10/31/19), a late night Halloween “trick” as an EF2 tornado produced by a mesocyclone contained within a QLCS struck the Glen Mills, PA. Despite striking a generally densely populated area, there were no major injuries. #pawx #weather #Halloween

Just had a trick or treater dressed as Rerun from What’s Happening. I nearly gave him all the candy I have left. 🫡 #HappyHalloween 🎃

Steve Green is a name some long-time chasers might recall. It’s funny as recently we were just discussing whatever happened to him?:
I ran into an old friend today in Ohio! Steve Green the inventor of the Tornado Attack Vehicle. Joel and I worked with Steve in 2002-2004 to guide the TA1 to a #tornado. This inspired the build of the Dominators

One of the better years of fall foliage in the Philadelphia area in recent memory. Here are some recent photos from Valley Forge National Historical Park in Valley Forge, PA: #pawx #autumn #foliage

TERRIFYING SCENES as this person found themselves dangerously close to a tornado yesterday near Fort Stockton. Thankfully, they made it out safely, but this footage is absolutely NIGHTMARE FUEL! 🌪️😱 Thursday’s tornado reports confirmed two tornadoes in the area: one rated EF-0 and another rated EF-1. #TXwx

Indeed! Similarly dramatic in Collegeville. “Suburbendämmerung” vibes.

View of a rather menacing looking shelf cloud produced ahead of approaching thunderstorms in Malvern, PA late this afternoon. #pawx #stormhour

A classic “bark worse than its bite” shelf cloud as it marked the outflow boundary. Was a little surprised how dark it was (due to a solid level of moisture) for a low-topped convection event in October.
