I feel like I’ve again slipped into some parallel Universe I cannot relate to. Sunrise sky this morning to bring some distraction to your timeline. WTF USA?!
I first wrote and cron’d the script that makes these @NWSSPC upper air maps in November 1998. It’s been running and making the twice-daily UA maps for the past 27 years at this URL: www.spc.noaa.gov/obswx/maps/. That’s over 138,000 maps online and it’s still going!

Beautiful #foliage nearing peak in spots on #VTwx I-91 north, and east along US Route 2 into #NHwx today. Some trees were vibrant red & golden yellow in the bright sunshine. Many areas should have (or develop) fantastic color through the end of the month but some rain would also be welcome.

I talked with NPR in San Francisco today for 25 minutes on the Texas flooding, and the larger issue of how the basic infrastructure to do science in the US is being destroyed—particularly weather science. www.kalw.org/show/your-ca...
Climate change, federal budget cuts, and the Texas flooding disaster
The floods in Texas have killed at least 120 people. The tragedy has raised serious questions about the catastrophic impacts of Trump's budget cuts to NOAA and FEMA.

Population estimate for exposure to Extreme NWS HeatRisk at some point over the next 7 days. At least 94 million potentially exposed. Impacts likely in most health systems, heat-sensitive industries, and infrastructure. Stay hydrated, avoid direct sun, check on the elderly and pets! #HeatWave2025

Over the past 9 years, only 2021 has exceeded 2025 for running average CONUS temperature for the first 19 days of #meteorological summer. (CONUS area temperature grids from NWS URMA data 2017-2025).

Here's a look at the population in Extreme NWS #Heat Risk over the next week compared to nearly the same time last year. HeatRisk is available here: www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/heatrisk/ #HeatWave2025
