Excited to announce the completion of my master’s research, which explored the average amount of time it takes for a dryline supercell to produce a tornado. 43% of tornadic storms produced their first tornado within 45 minutes to 1.5 hours of initiation.

Nice storm chase today. No tornado but good wind.

Here are some of my shots of the Kilauea volcano eruption today. The most incredible natural event I have ever witnessed in person.

Forgive me if I’m not paying attention to the weather in New England for a few days – at Hawaii, USA

A few days ago we were questioning if it was even going to hit. Much improvement still needed in modeling. – at Eliot, ME

Winter of 2025-26 was telegraphed. We aren’t done either. – at Eliot, ME
Winter is coming, and unlike the previous few years we are in for it. Long term signals point to frequent amplified jet stream patterns and cold air comes roaring in the first week of November with lake effect snow and possibly more.

We might have the most significant storm of the 21st century on our hands here in Rhode island and southeast Massachusetts

Blizzard of 2026 on final approach. A long overdue wallop for Southern New England.

The potential for near-hurricane-force wind gusts along the SNE coastline isn't being talked about enough IMO. Widespread 50-70mph gusts, perhaps higher, will occur as this storm moves up the coastline. Lots of long-lasting power outages with this one.

The blizzard of 2026 is closing in. New Jersey, Long Island, Southern New England are in the bulls eye. Accumulations over 2 feet are possible, but I suspect the storm will be remembered a bit more for its wind gusts. Essentially a tropical storm with snow. Going to leave a mark

Time to chime in. This storm is coming and it’s going to be a blizzard for I95. A great example of why it is important to be patient with these. We will iron out final specifics over the next couple days. – at Rollinsford, NH
Just a sneeze away from a New England blizzard Monday. Very tough call. The big storm that whiffed out to sea a couple weeks ago was an obvious miss from this range, this one feels even tighter. No calling it yet.

Close to a widespread 12-18 with blizzard conditions for most of I95 Monday but it likely skids out to sea with a glancing blow for coastal areas, although I can see room for it to come west and be a bigger problem

Sneaky good numbers Friday night here. Blizzard potential for Monday still TBD

Another big time bomb cyclone just offshore next Monday… once again we play the game of how close does it get. No definitive thoughts from me yet but it’s worth staying tuned.
