Hopped on @WKRN to talk about heavy rain and fall colors for @ExploreFall last evening 🍁🍁 Excited to talk more about fall color outlooks in the coming months! Check out the video and article here: wkrn.com/video/will-mid…

Aurora Borealis at Dolly Sods ✨ 📍 Bear Rocks, West Virginia. October 10, 2024

Two months from today, we'll be watching closely for the first PEAK color in the Lower 48! Demand for fall foliage maps is through the roof already, and we're in the process of updating the map for Fall 2025. Stay tuned for releases in the coming week!
This wins today. Sheesh

I’m gonna say “continental level event” every time my house is under a marginal from now on 🤣 (Joke, this is an absurd post for a low-threat day)
🚨 BREAKING: 833,000 SQUARE MILES UNDER THREAT - WHAT THE HELL IS COMING TOMORROW? Tomorrow’s “marginal” storm risk just became the 3rd largest in recorded history, and nobody’s talking about it. That’s not a forecast. That’s a continental-level event. Hail, wind, lightning,…
Very cool, this is fantastic work by our local NWS Mets at @NWS_BaltWash 👏
The NWS for Baltimore/Washington did something extraordinary last evening that may have gone unnoticed. They issued a flash flood warning for an urban area (not a river warning) 30 mins BEFORE it even started raining! 👇 And they nailed it. The NWS has been taking a lot of flak…
Fun view of the heavy downburst over downtown Charlottesville right now. Lotsa lightning! #vawx
