Truly a beautiful show from our atmosphere! Here is a full 21-hour animation of the Lake Michigan snow mesovortex train that happened yesterday into early this morning! One of my most favorite things to catch on radar, the atmosphere is really showing off its stuff here.

Storm-following loop of our Illinois/Indiana supercell of the evening. Included reports as well, to see all the hail that's been included with this storm! I will be making a birth to death loop of this storm tomorrow, but the storm generally has to be over first

Storm-following birth-to-death loop of the supercell (well, supercells) responsible for multiple tornadoes last night in OK/KS

The greatest atmospheric ballet... simply air and moisture doing their duty. Seen here is perhaps the most beautiful NEXRAD radar loop I can possibly produce.. A near-endless stream of larger-scale, swirly, "radargenic" mesovortices rolling southward along a convergence boundary atop lake Michigan. One of the prettiest things our atmosphere can produce, and it just kept on doing it for hours upon hours! This radar loop covers approximately 14 hours, throughout 2024/01/19, starting at approximately 07z and ending around 21z. Longest loop I've made so far with the new python script! And probably my favorite...

This is still, by far, the weirdest thing I have ever seen on radar. I still have almost no clue what is going on here. Towards the end it looks like whatever it's detecting "stretches" to the south.. almost like it's dealing with some ridiculous super-refraction that suddenly resolves. Any smart radar people have ANY ideas here?

Storm-following loop of a highly tornadic Griffin-esque bookend vortex/mesovortex that went through the KNQA area. Numerous tornadoes spawned by this system, some of which had pretty hefty TDS's. One of the most interesting bits is where the debris from the first few tornadoes looks to get caught in the mesocyclone of the prime supercell, and swirls around for almost an hour!

Storm-following loops of the dramatic upscale growth of a line of storms in western ND that would go on to become an extreme high-end squall line and wake low/sting jet that produced numerous wind reports over 100 MPH last night. Some strong tornadoes can be seen in the loop but this focuses on the squall's lifecycle and progression. Included a reflectivity only version just in case the dual panel loop gets too cooked by Twitter's algorithm.
