My favorite part of preparing for a #hurricane that is going to effect you is the sunset before the event.

This is at my house in #Brackenridge #Pennsylvania and the clouds are from #HurricaneIsaias (808 miles away). This will send rain and wind to Western #PAwx on Sunday.

UPDATE: Extreme Wind Warning (yellow) just issued by the NWS in Mobile, AL until 9:45pm EDT

Treat this like an observed tornado warning and take shelter NOW. Tornado like winds anticipated in Hurricane #Isaias eyewall over the next few hrs #wxbluesky #tropics #hurricane #flwx

The N side of the core of Hurricane #Isaias is about to come ashore. The worst conditions are just hrs out now. Now is the time to hunker down and find that safe spot as the most significant winds come ashore #wxbluesky #tropics #hurricane #flwx

Tornado threat in Hurricane #Isaias is expected to ramp up throughout the afternoon and evening. Already from the KTLH radar, I am seeing mutiple areas of strong rotation in tropical supercells offshore. These are all headed toward land #tornado #wxbluesky #flwx #tropics

AF hurricane hunters just found 136 kts in the E eyewall at 700mb flight lvl. Doing the conversion from 700mb to the surface, this translates to 122.4 kts (140 mph). #Isaias is officially a C4 hurricane #wxbluesky #tropics #hurricane

For those who will be riding out a #hurricane for the first time. This video from my friends at WVEC-TV might help you get an idea on the aftermath that I (and many others in Hampton Roads Virginia) had to deal with after Hurricane #Isabel in 2003. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUWA...

Next recon mission for #Isaias just took off from Biloxi, MS

I want to experiment and try something new: This thread will cover the observations and data of this mission. Stay tuned for future updates #wxbluesky #tropics #hurricane

Hurricane #Isaias is beginning to strengthen at a faster rate this afternoon with the storm finally wrapping 1 or mutiple VHT’s fully around the core. The storm has grown significantly larger in size as it interacts with the upper jet #wxbluesky #tropics #hurricane

Tropical Storm #Isaias seems to be on at least a steady rate of intensification tonight as it starts picking up pace to the E

Isaias is still a bit lopsided in its presentation, as it fights off some wind shear.

BREAKING: Tropical Depression Nine #TD9 forms in the Gulf of Mexico. Quick strengthening to a Category 2 hurricane forecasted by the NHC. Landfall expected on the US Gulf coast this weekend

Watching the Tropics: The National Hurricane Center (NHC) has increased probabilities of development to 40% in the next 7 days in the Gulf of Mexico/Bay of Campeche

Some of my thoughts currently… 🧵

Ensemble guidance the last few days has locked on pretty considerably to a pattern flip occurring from the 10th-15th. Specifics are tough to get into at this range, but high elevation Rockies/Sierra snow, strong winds, heavy rainfall and possibly severe wx would be possible. #wxbluesky #severe #snow

The "eye" of this #noreaster (that is headed for #NYC and #Boston) is currently about 282 miles east of #Sandbridge VA (Southern #VirginiaBeach) [according to @wxfront.bsky.social).

Observed tornado warning on this storm SW of #Morris, #Minnesota. Weather spotters are reporting a tornado otg with this storm and radar is showing a strong mesocyclone aloft

This is a dangerous storm. Take shelter now if in this warning

#mnwx #tornado #severewx #wxbluesky

Tornado Warning out of this storm N of #Wadena, #Minnesota. We are looking very far from the radar, so we don’t know what is happening at the sfc or the low lvls

That said, radar is showing a pretty stout mesocyclone aloft on this storm. Take shelter now

Here is my view of a massive #shelfcloud in front of this storm in #Brackenridge #PAwx (#Allegheny County [15 miles NE of #Pittsburgh]).

#Wxbluesky #wx

This line of rain and wind is barely out of Ohio and NWS #Pittsburgh has already Severe Thunderstorm Warned this. I don't think I have ever seen that before.

#PAwx #wxbluesky #wx

We have a Much better chance for #Pittsburgh to see some Severe Weather Today (Especially #ButlerCounty to the north and east). Stay Weather Aware Today after 3 PM.
