There’s lightning—and then there’s megaflash lightning. ⚡ In Oct 2017, one flash stretched 515 miles from east Texas to Kansas City. The @wmo-global.bsky.social recently confirmed it as the longest lightning flash in U.S. history. #WaterWednesday

💧 #WaterWednesday: The "predictability desert"
Between weather forecasts & climate projections lies a gap: 2 weeks-2 months out. This S2S timescale is crucial for water management but remains a weak link in forecasting.

New call for scientists to join forces: eos.org/opinions/sci...

💧 Explore the first nationwide assessment of water availability from the USGS. The National Water Availability Assessment covers how much water we have, its quality, & how it's used—for people & ecosystems.

Thank you to everyone who applied to be on our committee!! Typically, we would notify applicants of the results by the end of October. However, between a record number of applicants and the shutdown, the selection process is taking a bit longer. Thank you for your patience!

Did you know that there is a network of volunteer observers across the US that measure precipitation every day?

This effort is called the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail, and Snow Network -- or "CoCoRaHS"!

Become an observer today! cocorahs.org
