In the Southeast, Southwest, and around Montana and Wyoming, you see broken, brown lines. Are these showing the presence of shortwaves or is it something else?

The NEW F5Weather has been released!! We are excited to finally announce that our weather forecast model viewing sites EuroWX.com and F5Weather.com have merged, and are now a completely redesigned F5Weather.com! This new site features a plethora of new features and models, but also is much...

Is WAA (CAA) always associated with veering (backing) winds or are there circumstances in which this relationship doesn't hold? I assume the tropics, being highly barotropic, wouldn't see such a relationship but the midlatitudes would due to the high baroclinicity. Thanks!

Hello, weather enthusiasts! My name is Ash and I'm an Atmospheric Science and Meterology student through the The University of Arizona, residing in West Virginia. Upon graduation, I hope to work with a weather team to develop new radar programs and help increase tornado warning times. With that...

It's still winter. At least in Colorado. The same storm that everyone else was eyeballing for hail - I mean tornadoes, produced a blizzard in Monument, CO. I didn't wake up early enough to capture the actual blizzard, but I did venture out to capture the aftermath. The blizzard occurred...

"Eddie Ellingburg, a Rankin County resident, told WJTV’s Malary Pullen that “it looked like Fitzgerald running through the Ole Miss line with all the trees laying over.” Nick Fitzgerald is the quarterback for Mississippi State University. The Bulldogs recently defeated Ole Miss in the Egg Bowl...

Humans have changed the planet so permanently and dramatically, scientists had to coin a special geological name—the anthropocene—just to describe it. And you might not realize it, but the weather patterns you live with everyday are a direct product of our busy urban cores. Yes, we’ve even...

"El Niño, or the El Niño–Southern Oscillation, is an occasional warming event in the Pacific Ocean that can initiate weather-related havoc across the U.S. Now, it has a new cousin. By examining 38 years of weather, atmospheric scientists have identified an ocean temperature anomaly — the Pacific...

A great article from The Wichita Eagle regarding the advancement of research through chasers. This was talked about quite a bit during ChaserCon and is very relevant heading into the season. I know I will be focusing much more on documentation this year to hopefully be involved in some of these...

I've thought about this subject a lot recently, as drones will soon be as common as point-and-shoot cameras, and there's much to be discussed about them. For example: 1) How ethical is it to use drones to obtain tornado footage then sell it and claim it as your own, even if the drone was not on...
