The @nws.noaa.gov offices are starting to notice an uptick in #tropical #weather hype. Please ensure you get your forecast information from reliable sources, and not those attempting to just gain views or clicks. #PSA #HurricaneSeason2025

Despite the noise (don’t know why it’s so noisy) you can still plainly see the two forest fires smoke plumes on the Avalon being picked up on the Holyrood radar. #NLwx

Our “sunny blue skies” that we expected to see across the island today are “sunny white skies” as thick smoke aloft originating from forest fires in Saskatchewan & Manitoba has made its way over Newfoundland.
Shouldn’t pose any air quality issues, so still go and enjoy the summer-like day!! #NLwx

The power of wind direction always amazes me.
Cartwright Airport hit a high of 18.5°C today before a shift in wind direction from a westerly to a northerly caused the temperature to drop from 17.8°C to 5.5°C, a 12.3°C drop, in one hour!
Now at 3.9°C as of 4 P.M. ADT. #NLwx

As much as the news and Twitter make me dread the future of society and how humans act toward each other, during this trip I have encountered nothing but the best people and the most helpful people and it has restored my faith in humanity a little bit 🥲

Last full day in Cancún featuring mainly sunny skies, hot temperatures, and high dewpoints. Temperature of 29°C with a dewpoint of 22°C as of 10 am.
Really not looking forward to coming back to cloudy skies and single digit/negative temps 😭

Pretty significant dust storm ongoing across parts of New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas with a very visible stream of heavy dust visible on satellite.
Some fires igniting in parts of Oklahoma as well.
Peak wind gust of 134 km/h reported in Northern Texas 💨

I am shocked that the mass firings at NOAA & NWS were also applied to SENIOR staff that were promoted or got a new position within the org.
My heart breaks for you all, new & ‘seasoned’, who lost lifelong careers today and don’t know what to do next. Love from us in Canada. ❤️

So incredibly disheartening. I really don’t even have the words to describe how upsetting it is to see the gutting of such an important partner and provider of data and cutting-edge research, as well as global leaders of innovation.
Terrified to see what is next.

BREAKING: The mass firing of upwards of 1,800 workers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, including top climate scientists and weather forecasters, has begun.
The firings reportedly include workers at the National Weather Service.

A shocking 24-hour difference in conditions for parts of the Deep South in the US.
Yesterday - sun, green grass to today - whiteout conditions and snow-covered roads in Lafayette, LA.
According to data from the NWS, measurable snow only happens once every 5.7 years in Lafayette.

Snow seems to have changed over or is at least mixing with ice pellets here in Gander! Can hear them plinking against the windows. Expected to get to +10°C later today! #NLwx

Looks like the snow squall machine is on schedule.
If you’re going to be travelling on the TCH from Gallants to Robinsons, or through Black Duck Siding, Stephenville Crossing, or Kippens - be prepared for snow squalls with poor visibility. #NLwx #NLtraffic

I haven’t seen this amount of blue sky since Remembrance Day…that’s a long time.
However, in typical NL fashion, when one part of the island sees decent weather, there is likely another part that isn’t.
The West Coast will see onshore flurries persist until tomorrow morning. #NLwx

Looks like the Avalon and Burin Peninsulas are winning in weather today, with sunny breaks showing up around on webcams in the region.
Take advantage of it! The forecast for the upcoming week continues to look dreary 🌧️ #NLwx

I am especially excited for Bluesky to be gaining steam so that it will be easier to be able to find #NLwx observations/updates that don’t get overrun with random spam bots 😁

Wow I didn’t realize this platform opened up publicly! I had gotten an invite to the closed beta way back when, but never used it because there weren’t many people on it.
Happy to see something that could actually get us away from “X”. 😁
