Working with @DevonHealey6 ,@RaychelNelsonwx, @WxMichaela ,and Cynthia Van Den Broeke, our goal was to document the radar signatures of this storm and their evolution to see if anything stood out which would help in anticipating such long-track tornadoes. journals.ametsoc.org/view/jo…

Since it's been two years since the 12/10/2021 tornadoes, I thought I'd share some results from a detailed dual-pol analysis of the quad-state supercell I was involved with at UNL. This paper was led by Matthew Van Den Broeke and examined the storm from CI to dissipation.

Sunrises like this are my favorite perk of the 6 am shifts. 🌅

The radar nerd in me is very entertained today. Possible debris from SpaceX Starship showing up northeast of Puerto Rico on TJUA from 1324-1336 Z. @SpaceX #SpaceX #StarshipLaunch #Starship

Finally got to see inside of a WSR-88D at work! It was still much bigger than I was anticipating… 😂

What a way to end @TORUSupercell with data on two brief tornadoes in western Oklahoma. It’s been a great month out on the field campaign! #TORUSLItE #okwx
