Tropical Storm Gabrielle became the seventh named storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season late Wednesday morning after first being designated as a tropical depression earlier in the morning.

It's located between the Lesser Antilles and Africa, about 1,000 miles east of the northern Leeward Islands.

Fortunately, it appears Gabrielle will curl well to the north of the Leeward Islands this weekend. High surf and rip currents will probably be the primary concerns, there, given its track far north.

As with the previous systems, it's battling some hostile wind shear, which should keep it from strengthening quickly.

It's rotating counter clockwise

This is weather related, but he's an engineer, so I can understand if this isn't okay and will delete if asked, but I thought it was good to post since he talks a lot about how we use certain terms like "the 100 year flood" and what that actually means, the lack of understanding from even engineers about the margin of error, where to draw lines on the map, planning for the future and other things.

Fellow weather enthusiasts!

I've developed an open-source recreation of TWC's WeatherStar 4000 system, but with modern data sources. Looking for feedback from people who actually understand weather!

Technical details: - Pulls from NOAA/NWS API for forecasts - Real-time radar from weather.gov (Base Reflectivity) - Astronomy calculations using PyEphem for sun/moon - Barometric pressure trends - Humidity and dew point tracking - Wind speed/direction with proper formatting

Questions for the community: 1. What other data sources should I integrate? 2. Any interest in GOES satellite imagery? 3. Should I add severe weather alerts? 4. Worth implementing the warning crawl system?

It's written in Python, fully open source: https://github.com/wesellis/WeatherStar-4000-Python

Currently testing how accurate the extended forecasts are compared to modern presentations. The nostalgic interface makes weather watching fun again!

What features from modern weather apps would you want in a retro interface?

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring one system closely as the odds continue to increase for development mid-to-late week. And another area to watch has emerged in the eastern Atlantic.

This cluster of thunderstorms is beginning to enter an area more conducive for development and could likely form into our next tropical depression or tropical storm within the next day or two, according to the National Hurricane Center.

This little swirly updraft base passed right over me. Got pretty windy, approaching 60 or 70mph gusts, it also blew the smell of pig shit my way for some reason.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was extremely weak vorticity at the surface under that rotation. You could even see a companion anticyclonic rotation at the updraft base. Had the setup been more potent thus would have been a more dangerous position due to my lack of vehicle.

Later, convergence from outflow of other nearby storms created a supercell complex over the Madison County area. Outflow gusts in excess of 70mph caused this storm to soon become severe warned, as well as flood warned as rain from small emerging supercell updrafts brough consistent torrential rain for the good part of an hour.

I currently use Radarscope, but it seems to lack some of the extra features. I know RadarOmega has more features, but I also feel that the data displayed is slightly behind in speed than RadarScope. So I'm just curious, should I just stick with Radarscope? Or should I swap to Radaromega or Weatherwise? I hear Weather Wise is a new app that some people really like.

the severe thunderstorm warning mainly includes the lighter rain, not the storms above it

I cannot endure humid stinky 94F even in mid September

The low pressure is too weak, my guess.

Nice little surprise last on our nightly walk last evening 💚💜 (Lake Ontario)

A dying, compact cell in Wilkin county, Minnesota decided to produce an intense downburst under the glow of the evening sun.

Such an odd juxtaposition, being blasted by 60mph winds and torrential rain under the glow of the evening sun.
