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 NWS Tucson
One for the wx geeks. The PW on this AM sounding was 1.84″, a new record value for the day. Old record, 1.58″. #azwx pic.twitter.com/qzqwvdIhH2

Holy cow. This is really interesting and unique to see out of the desert.

This evening was so odd, but I think this Moderate Risk issuance was a good call from the SPC.

If you live in Bowling Green and you’re not out looking at the sunset, you’re doing it wrong. pic.twitter.com/TUKPeoiov9
