Another round of significant rain coming Wed into Thur SoCA. This on top of an already very wet start to the rainy season. % of avg for the water yr below+a map of totals so far. Some of these already exceed YEARLY averages. The next 9 days could be very bad news. #cawx

As a forecaster turned software developer I am not in any chaser circles but I can easily see Jordan Hall is a controversial figure.
It's very entertaining seeing the chaser community pick out their worst tweets of 2025 on twitter. Pretty spicy stuff!

Border czar Tom Homan didn’t receive the normal background check during his bribery probe.
President-elect Trump initially balked at submitting names of likely nominees to the FBI for background checks, a basic step intended to flag possible financial conflicts or ethical problems.

Hours before it was set to air an episode about the treatment of migrants shipped to El Salvador’s notorious CECOT prison, “60 Minutes” mysteriously pulled the episode. Just like that, the beloved show we have known is dead, Marc Elias writes.

Was at a Ukrainian restaurant last night with my gf (who is Ukrainian heritage) and they had a lot of business. She thinks it is because people were mad at Trump after the Trump-Zelenskyy meeting.

Tom, if your bio is correct and you were an NWS MIC, why do you not only condone DOGE and their efforts (including mass firings of NWS meteorologists) but openly endorse it? MAGA is the ultimate breeding ground for a self-defeating and self-owning mentality.

Russ Vought is one of the top 5 worst people in 21st century American History. A real POS who needs to be prosecuted and put in jail once we get a Democratic administration.
Why Russell Vought Is Worse Than Watergate
Conservatives used to think you could be a political hatchet artist or you could serve the Lord. Now they say: Why choose?

The Trump administration says it will dismantle a key climate-science center, while salvaging its forecasting capabilities. “Today, predicting the weather without considering the climate would be meteorological malpractice," Michelle Nijhuis argues.
The U.S. Is on the Verge of Meteorological Malpractice
The Trump administration says it will dismantle a premier climate center, while somehow keeping weather forecasting intact.

Actually, in the late 1800s and early 1900s when tariff policy was a hot topic, the Democratic platform was always to chip away at tariffs while the Republicans supported high tariffs. The people in those days who hated tariffs the most were southerners as tariffs hurt the agricultural industry.

I see lots of takes saying "software engineering will disappear in 5-10 years." While I don't think this is true, I will say it is good to have a physical science degree/background accompanying a computer science degree/background because data science/engineering is growing.

In February, Elon Musk posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He asked if we suffered childhood trauma and concluded by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This was my response.
