Insane footage. I love how you stayed behind to help get word out to the rest of the world, and clearly the Jamaican people adore MAWGAMAN!

Excellent post-script on the hurricane season, Richard!

You are the reason we do what we do, and I am grateful for the trust you put in our team. 🙏 3/3

…and it always feels good to be recognized by your peers in the industry when you’re just showing up to serve. Thanks for keeping me around by consistently watching us and making ABC13 the top-rated local news source in Houston. 2/3

Fam, I have some good personal news to share. Saturday night I was awarded a Lone Star Emmy for one of my weathercasts during the Christmas week tornadoes we had last year. My only priority whenever I get in front of the camera is serving you…1/3

And I use them often! Thank you!

Perhaps they are just generalizing based off something like this? www.noaa.gov/jetstream/tc...

Alrighty, ready to see something really cool? (and maybe a little nauseating)

The evolution of Hurricane Melissa's mesovortices at peak strength.

Jeremy, have you seen a “sawtooth” eyewall before? I’ve never seen that descriptor.

Just terrible.

From a crewmember on yesterday's Teal 74 mission into now-Category 5 Hurricane #Melissa. As clear of an eye as you will see in the Atlantic basin.

Unreal.

If Arctic sea ice has been relatively stable the last 15 years, then the global sea loss would be more a function of decreased Antarctic sea ice loss in recent years, right?

Why bookmark things when you can just leave open a zillion tabs?

Thanks! I should have checked the SPC climo page before asking, but I appreciate the response!

Russ - how does that expected 1"+ of PWAT air compare to PWATs experienced over the course of a calendar year?

Those track results are especially impressive...

Yep, since 1962.

First time eating lunch poolside at ABC13 in months. It’s really that nice outside in Houston today.

Agreed - that's a storm. The visible satellite from earlier today was fascinating to watch as it try to fight off the dry air impinging on the northern edge of the moist envelope.

If you can give some time to it, the people of Texas would be grateful, I'm sure.

Fascinating correlation analysis, Eric! Do you have any for other states like, say, Texas? Asking for a friend. :-) @webberweather.bsky.social

And it started last evening! The amount of heat a mile above our heads is phenomenal for this time of year.

You cannot tell the true size and strength of a tornado just by looking at it (especially if it’s rain-wrapped), and the National Weather Service survey teams will be gathering data on all the tornadoes to determine those details. (2/2)

This rain-wrapped tornado southeast of Houston looked like a MONSTER! Neill Long took this photo from his backyard a little after 1:40PM in League City’s Coastal Point subdivision north of 146 and 646. (1/2)

NEW: Here is the preliminary reporting from the National Weather Service on the 5 tornado touchdowns yesterday. This was a classic Southeast Texas tornado day where most of the tornadoes were EF-0 or EF-1 strength and not on the ground for very long.

If I’m being honest, the trophies are nice and all, but the real reward is serving you day in and day out. When the weather gets rough in #Houston or you need to plan around the weather for an important life event, we’re here for you at ABC13!

I am so proud of our team for winning the #Emmy three years in a row for our annual hurricane special, and it’s now two years in a row for weather anchor. And if you know anything about @tamu.bsky.social Aggies, if it happens two years in a row, it becomes a tradition. 😁 @tamuatmo.bsky.social (2/3)

Christmas came a little early for me this week! Today I received my two Lone Star Emmy awards for outstanding achievement as the top weather anchor in Texas along with our team award for Eye on the Gulf: Hunting Hurricanes. (1/3)
