3:27 PM EST, 12/1: The latest thinking from @nws.noaa.gov is that a significant early-#December #winterstorm will develop tonight. Heavy #snow is likely across the Northeast, with 5–10" likely (higher amounts possible). The southern/central #Appalachians may see #icing. #WinterWeather

There is a reason why most (unfortunately I can’t say all) #meteorologists don’t show extended range ensemble forecasts for a reason. Even if a disclaimer like “this is not a forecast” is given, the forecast is still being shown and could be misinterpreted as such. 😒

Day 40 of the shutdown, that’s 2 missed paychecks and part of a third. Federal employees (including my colleagues at the National Weather Service) continue working without knowing when they’ll be paid, or are furloughed. If you know someone affected, please check in on them. #GovernmentShutdown2025
