Twitter is a meteorologist’s best friend and worst enemy. Meteorologists send out hundreds of tweets per day, and it is such a useful tool for dispensing information. Many times, though, hype will begin and spread like fire on Twitter. Other times, it saves someone’s life. Therefore, Twitter sees the best and worst out of meteorologists every week, and it gets really fascinating to watch. These are the 10 best Tweets I found from this past week!

The dynamics of that system and the rapid development of those supercells was so cool.

Thunderstorms in Kansas with cool satellite structure formed along dew point gradient and PVA. Pretty neat stuff. pic.twitter.com/ATkMOJe2ZJ

Synoptic meteorology is so cool. PVA is a big part of my favorite meteorological theory, QG Theory.

That tornado was bad. A crazy disaster in a populated area, and was heartbreaking to see.

Landon isn’t number one because he is my boss, but it does help. Hahaha this picture is legitimately awesome, though.
