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

Including *two* positions in Boulder!

Challenging forecasts, a plethora of collaboration opportunities with collocated atmospheric science groups, and the mountains at your doorstep are just some of the draws.

Locality pay helps offset cost of living!

Happy to chat with anyone who's interested.

Even under lighter winds, this fire moves. Live fuel moistures below 40%, fire behavior in oakbrush almost indistinguishable from pinyon-juniper. Extreme drought conditions are evident.

May be done with Red Flag days for a while, but the #LeeFire will continue to run. It's no ordinary season. #COwx

Today's environment had the ingredients for deep pyroCb formation from the get-go. The final factor (clearing cloud cover) arrived late afternoon, and boom.

Needless to say, significant expansion to evac zones southward along CR 5/Hwy 13 corridors for the Lee Fire today. #COwx #LeeFire

Lee Fire as seen from Meeker - 3 PM MDT, Aug 8.

Tragic accident on the Million Dollar Highway derailed today's arrival in Meeker.

Detoured via Telluride, and captured some images of the Stoner Mesa fire which punched some pyroCu.

Hectic day of travel and weather support for 4 separate incidents.

En route to Meeker to support the emerging fires (Elk RBX, Lee, and Grease - the latter two of which have merged).

They've grown to ~16,000 acres in 2 days. Unfortunately, extreme drought and prolonged critical fire weather conditions through at least Friday will make for a very tough week ahead.

Oh no, so scared.

I'll take a nation that doesn't cower to dictatorial impositions over one that blindly caves to nonsensical spending spurred on by a top tier bootlicker (Rutte) any day.

Las condiciones meteorológicas están siendo favorables de momento. Tras una prueba exitosa, proceden con la aplicación controlada de fuego con métodos aéreos.

Primer día apoyando al bosque nacional de San Juan en su campaña primaveral de quemas prescritas.

Tras explorar el área del proyecto y recopilar datos, toca refinar el pronóstico. Mañana será la primera oportunidad. Eso sí, con posibilidad de algún chubasco - no deja de ser primavera en Colorado 🌦

So great to see the support today, thanks Boulder! 💙

Bueno, ¿basta ya de justificaciones, no?

¿Soltó o no esos comentarios? Pues ya está. Los ciudadanos tienen todo el derecho del mundo de escrutinar, y más cuando se trata de racismo sin cortinas.

Do NOT respond until you receive direction from NWSEO.

Two options:

1. No reply (resignations must be voluntary, so request has zero legal basis).

2. List your week's work. Request 1 hr OT to complete required duty. Include said duty and expense to taxpayers in your reply to the king's butler.

Nothing is a more effective deterrent from resigning than our current NOAA inbox.

Last year, in my "low productivity job", I worked over 540 hours of Overtime, and spent 68 days away from home deployed to wildfires.

So let's hear it. In what ways have you taken away from "American prosperity" in your lOw ProDuCTiVity jObS?

The low towards the latter half of next week has quite a bit of track uncertainty, and could tap into good Gulf moisture - worth keeping an eye on.

The number of ensemble runs with a significant Front Range snow has crept up a tad the past 24-48 hrs. BUT, still a ton of spread in solutions... #COwx

Happy retirement! Was always a pleasure interacting with Mike.
Meteorologists of Colorado, assemble! Just part of the crowd gathered to toast KMGH’s Mike Nelson on his upcoming retirement. A classy competitor and a trailblazer in TV meteorology and climate education.
