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!

Radar earlier today, watch the outflow from the northern storms feed the storm in the west Valley. Boom! 3″ of rain. pic.twitter.com/JYkrRiZXbE

I love to see the impact of outflow on other thunderstorms while watching the radar. It is really, really cool.

That’s not rain. Those are horizontal convective rolls. Fresh out of the oven. Harmless. pic.twitter.com/lkz7ThmBZz

I know Alex, and he has become an awesome lightning photographer. His shots around BG are awesome.
