Haven't posted in a while so this close-up of the eye Hurricane's #Lowell will hopefully make up for it. #swirlythings #wx #wxsky

The sun coming out of eclipse from behind the moon, via the Orion MPCV just a few moments ago.

Today is a Weather-Aware Day for our region.
A strong cold front will be pushing through this afternoon bringing with it an elevated chance of severe weather.
The SPC has portions of central NC under a Moderate (4 out of 5) risk for #severe weather.

Lots of UI and other stuff to do, but it's been playing around with it.

I finally got around to getting MRMS data in my work-in-progress alpha-stage dashboard.
My biggest hurdle that I can't seem to get over is the colormap for IR and WV GOES images. I just can't seem to get it to look like I want.

Checking out the NOAA-20 VIIRS images, it's cool to see the barrier islands coated in #snow, too. #wx #ncwx

Drone footage over Winterville, NC showing #snow as far as the eye can see. A snowstorm to remember.
Officially measured just a touch over a foot at my location, with higher drifts. The biggest storm since March 1980 (December 1989 for the coast) for many parts of North Carolina.

The @NWS has an awesome dashboard for finding pretty much any weather data for thousands of locations.

Here's a Level2 loop from my dashboard.

Here's a Level2 loop from my dashboard.
Working on a personal dashboard using MetPy to produce satellite and radar loops.
Currently using THREDDS, but I want to know which source is better and faster to download (AWS, Google, etc)?
I'm also curious about how to get the colormaps correct for the colorized ABI channels. #ncwx
