Make sure you have several ways to get weather updates. Storms will pass through some areas overnight. Keep your cells phones charges and DON'T turn off the alerts, they can wake you up if needed. Activate your safety plan and be prepared to take cover, no matter the time of day.

Congrats to @EWolffWX on his successful defense using data from IOP2 2022 to examine OTs and other radar signatures to diagnose near-surface vorticity as well as examine updraft and rotation relationships.
Thesis Thursday! A successful defense by @EWolffWX presenting his @PERiLS_Project research on chickens and eggs…or updrafts and vorticity 😁. Bonus points for conjuring up a real-life QLCS during his presentation 🤣! Congratulations on a super duper job well done!
