A very powerful and shapeshifting sidewinder tornado outside of Arnett, Oklahoma yesterday. Definitely the best tornado I have ever seen, and very fortunate to have no fatalities with this one. #okwx

One of the worst looks I have seen in late July in quite some time for the American West. Really hoping next week is better.

So stupidly back
Yeah we’re back in business 📍North Stonington, CT
Well, the weather sucks for now, but at least the animals are cool! 😂

Record dry airmass over AZ this morning, with only 0.22" PW (less then a third of the normal ~0.85"). As a matter of fact, this is the driest for the entire period from Jul 17 - Aug 6th. Unfortunately, monsoon moisture is a week or so away...enjoy the sun my friends.
Intense fire still rages on the north rim of the Grand Canyon as viewed from Wupatki. Winds are dry and southwesterly at around 30mph. Not very good. #azwx

This is the best we can manage in late July? Really? 😕 #azwx

I lied, this stuff is abysmal :(
While a forecast like this is somewhat of a bleak look, less rain does not always equal less storms (though of course they’re correlated). I got one of my best monsoon shots in a pattern like this last year, so don’t write anything off yet!!! #azwx
Ultra-Weathergami for Phoenix, AZ on July 20, 2025! With a high of 97°F and low of 90°F, this site had a daily temperature combination not previously recorded at any of the 375 climate sites used. There are now 8,862 unique combinations across all sites!

There’s more people in this stadium than people included in this watch
A tornado watch has been issued for parts of Nebraska and South Dakota until 11 PM CDT
The first forecast failed pretty miserably…maybe the same thing happens with this next one? #azwx


With the exception of 2020, I can’t remember a year where I’ve gotten to the latter third of July without a single decent monsoon lightning picture to show for it. Very sad turn of events from this supposedly hyperactive season. But…there’s still time. #azwx

Super rad dust devil in San Tan Valley this afternoon! As soon as it went into the new housing development it got even cooler!!! #azwx #wx #maxvelocity #arizona #dustdevil
SPC: draws a new thunderstorm outlook This storm in particular: “NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT TO DO”

Powerful thunderstorm erupting on the Mogollon Rim NE of Phoenix this afternoon #azwx


Near Prarie Du Sac, #WI a short bit ago #tornado #WIwx #wx #wxtwitter @NWSMilwaukee @NWSLaCrosse
Yesterday monsoon really reared its head in southern Arizona as most areas got much needed rainfall. I chased this storm south of Eloy before it merged with a larger one that produced a dust storm that eventually made it into Phoenix late at night. #azwx
