WxOrNotBG Tweets of the Week

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!

#10 U.S. Tornadoes

I wrote about this on Friday, but US Tornadoes always has some interesting stuff!

#9 Tony Lyza

Ahh, another paper to read. Oh, and also, Wednesday looks interesting.

#8 Pierce Larkin 

Yours truly took this picture on Thursday evening while stuck in Nashville traffic. It was a fantastic looking storm.

#7 Stormchasernick

Hahahahahahaha.

#6 NWS Nashville

This complex of storms was awesome to watch unfold, and track as we watched our forecast verify before our eyes.

#5 James Spann

The day after we had our crazy storms, the Gulf Coast saw their crazy day of storms. It was hard to choose just one shelf cloud, but this was a great shot of it.

#4 D☈D

Whooooooooooa.

#3 rds

I love satellite images, but this one is really cool and unique, and is one that we don’t really see very often.

#2 Quincy Vagell

This storm was amazing, and the SPC even issued a mini mesoscale discussion for it!

#1 D☈D

This was probably the best picture I saw all week, and I love to look at it. What a shot!
