@westernuCSSL workshop keynote talks from @hebrooks87 and @pgroenemeijer on the origins of the #NSSL and #ESSL
There's a moose presenting at #31SLS, @Climatologist49. That will increase my moose days for the year.

2¹³⁶²⁷⁹⁸⁴¹−1, discovered today, is the largest known prime. It's a Mersenne prime (2ᵖ-1), which are easier to find.
It took nearly 6 years for the GIMPS software to find it after the previous largest known prime. It was also the first Mersenne prime found using GPUs.
A 20th century poster for #31SLS. Visitors will complete the poster by answering questions on post-it notes. @kimklockow
Speakers for the first session of #31SLS. @Kenziek56 @StephenMStrader @wxkristin @LatinWx @baroclinicvort @chris_wirz with @WxAlexandra hanging out in the middle.
For #SLS31, you can help create an old-school poster with questions to answer on post-it notes about ethics and weather forecasting. Monday after lunch. Co-conspirator @kimklockow
So, now we know @Climatologist49 is apparently "Nobody."
I got to be a part of a paper on QLCS events in Europe with friends from Poland and Slovakia.
Using OPERA radar data 📡, we found that every year, 184 QLCSs occur on average in Europe ⛈️. In 2014-21, they were responsible for 104 deaths and 886 injuries. Check our new paper published in BAMS! doi.org/10.1175/BAMS-D-23-02…
A few minutes late, at least, but #GERDEN finally stopped for lightning in area. @texasembassy Not a great radar look, but the stadium is just south of dot for Dortmund. Small hail falling.

On #ScienceAndFilm, check out a new interview with @NOAA research scientist Harold Brooks, technical advisor on TWISTER, in anticipation of TWISTERS coming out this summer. scienceandfilm.org/articles/…
Anniversary of a piece I wrote about tornado safety. We still have issues with people giving bad advice that tornadoes aren't survivable if you're not underground. livingontherealworld.org/get…
And for my friends who can read Dutch.
Vandaag is het allerhoogste waarschuwingsniveau van kracht voor tornado's voor delen van de Great Plains. Laten we hopen dat het meevalt 😬. spc.noaa.gov/products/outloo…

We are in the process of updating our severe potential graphic, but want to share this ASAP. A dangerous atmospheric environment will be present today and there is now a HIGH risk for multiple tornadoes over north-central and into central OK. Plan now!

A rose by any other name is out in final form. Fun with 3 elements of the 2x2 table. With @MontePHD.
One typo inserted by technical editor. Should a paragraph break before the last two sentences of abstract. journals.ametsoc.org/view/jo…
I'm trying to figure out how I feel about swarms of remote-controlled cyborg cockroaches.

Now online at @AMS_AIES, a paper on the variety of names given to the same quantities from the 2x2 table. "A rose by any other name...." doi.org/10.1175/AIES-D-23-01…
