To be a meteorologist, my college education included several levels of Calculus, Physics, Chemistry, Matlab coding language & numerous meteorology and atmospheric science courses. Female meteorologists aren’t “weather ladies”. We are scientists. I am #morethanababe .

I’m a Certified Broadcast Meteorologist & always let my geek flag fly. If I could, I’d come to work every day in a nerdy t-shirt. I’d rather teach weather to a room of eager-to-learn 12 year olds then respond to a single message about how I look in a dress. I’m #morethanababe .

Why is #morethanababe trending? It’s a movement of solidarity, standing with fellow meteorologists and journalists in Arkansas where a local radio station is refusing to stop their annual “babe bracket”, ranking these women solely based on looks.

Saharan dust plume -- incoming! The added dust (usually high in the atmosphere) can lead to more vivid sunrises/sunsets. The dust can also act as cloud nuclei and aid in cloud formation. #storm11 #gawx

UPDATED SNOW MAP | I think the axis of heaviest snow will creep into the south side of the metro, so I've raised totals near I-66. One area of concern is mixing in Southern MD & northern neck. If Rain/snow line creeps further north, snow will underperform. #WUSA9Weather @wusa9
