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 […]
Incredible Microburst Affects Phoenix
Last evening, an incredibly photogenic and scenic microburst affected the city of Phoenix, Arizona. A microburst is a strong, concentrated downburst that produces wind damage and strong gusts across a small area. They are common, but are hard to capture in picture. Well, the best weather pic I have ever seen was taken of one […]
A Technical Discussion of the June 29, 2012 Derecho
Four years ago today, one of the more infamous derechoes in recorded meteorological history formed. This formed across northern Illinois and northern Indiana, and raced southeastward across the northern fringe of an intense surface high pressure system. This was an absolutely classic derecho, and was one of the more destructive events in recent memory, and […]

Much of the model guidance had been showing a system forming in the southern Gulf, and heading for the coast of Florida as we headed […]

Tropical Depression Two Forms Over The Atlantic
Yesterday afternoon, Tropical Depression Two formed off the coast of the Carolinas in the Atlantic ocean. The system was fairly weak, and still is. It currently has winds of 35 mph and 1009 mb, but is expected to strengthen into a Tropical Storm later today. When I saw that this was Tropical Depression Two, I was […]
Stormy Weekend For Bowling Green Weather
Real time Bowling Green Weather radar: Today: Partly cloudy, with showers/storms likely. Highs around 80°F. Tonight: Partly cloudy, with a slight chance of showers. Lows around 64°F. It is nice to admit that yesterday was a day that fully ruled across the region. Highs ended up in the mid 80s (3 degrees below my forecast high, […]
Opinion: The Storm Predicition Center Should Become Regionalized
I am all for change within the meteorological world. It’s something that a lot of meteorologists surprisingly fight against, but as with anything, people get set in their ways and refuse to try to do things better. Social media is one example. The weather world (at least NWS affiliates) was several years behind on that […]
Cruise Ship Sails into Storm
A cruise ship sailed right into hurricane force winds and waves on Sunday, injuring four passengers. The 4,000 passenger cruise ship, Royal Caribbean’s Anthem of the Seas, was on its way from NYC to Port Canaveral, Florida when it encountered the storm. Although the captain reported, “the strength of the storm had surprised everyone and […]
