Despite being an essential part of a severe weather forecaster’s toolkit, hodographs have a notorious learning curve. So, I have put together this 3D animation as a visual aid to help those new to hodographs understand what they’re showing.

Drylines are somewhat unique among meteorological boundaries in that they are driven by differences in boundary layer mixing rather than differences in density. Here’s an animation I put together showing how that works:

A defining characteristic of warm core lows is the presence of an anticyclonic circulation of the thermal wind, something that can be made out in satellite loops of Erin this afternoon.

Skew-T diagrams are essential for meteorologists to understand, but without formal training it can be difficult to know where to start. Follow along with me as we build one from scratch and try to make sense of what all those lines mean

Using a physical analog to show why variations in fluid density along a pressure surface create vorticity. Referred to as "baroclinicity", the process played an outsized role in providing spin for a tornadic supercell along an outflow boundary near Lubbock TX earlier today.
