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.

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

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

Spotted on satellite: an otter eddy right off Bodega Bay!
While it sounds like a fluffy "sharknado", an otter eddy is actually a type of mesolow (small low pressure center)! Offshore winds interact with complex coastal terrain to create this cyclonic coastal eddy.

So about the egret… we were at ~9,500 in the eye and the pilot spots this egret. It’s not so close we are gonna hit it but it does go right in front of us at a slightly lower altitude. I’m busy with the radar and don’t have time to grab my camera but I did have the GoPro Max going. It’s not great footage but you can see the white speck going from right to left. I tell the weather officer he has gotta put it in the VDM for reasons… sure enough ten minutes later there are posts about it here on X.

The HRRR has been pretty adamant about this region of strong winds extending away from the system.
This is collocated with a region of strong descent in the vicinity of midlevel dry air intrusion. I suspect this is helping transport higher momentum air to the surface.
