New Weather West post out today! Active pattern coming up through mid-Mar; storms will likely bring more benefits than harm this time around. Plus, thoughts on developing El Niño Costero and what this spring might look like in the U.S. West. #CAwx #CAwater weatherwest.com/arch...
An active pattern to continue across California, with mainly beneficial precipitation through mid-Mar - Weather West
The north-south precipitation dipole in CA persists, though with some recent attenuation The last couple of weeks have featured a mix of wet and dry weather statewide--not uncommon for February and March in California. More unusual has been the periods of considerable warmth--in some cases, record-breaking--across parts of the state in recent days. But overall,

Elon Musk has shut down a team of tech-savvy civil servants responsible for developing the IRS’s free tax-filing service and improving government websites. As a result, 90 employees were immediately locked out of their devices and informed that their jobs were deemed non-essential.

I'm a reporter at the SF Chronicle hoping to speak with scientists who were impacted by the government firings. Specifically NOAA scientists, especially those in California. Open to hearing from you on the record, off the record or anonymously.

Related to mass federal firings today: If anyone out there in private sector has a need for a highly-qualified PhD-level wildfire risk modeler (or MS/PHD-level meteorologist), available immediately, please do reach out via email or DM! (Not for me, but trying to help others out.)

The U.S. #NationalWeatherService, housed within #NOAA, is a truly world-class meteorological predictive service, perhaps singularly so. It costs only ~$3/yr per taxpayer, & yields ~10:1 return on investment--saving economy 10s-100s of billions, not to mention thousands of lives.
Hearing reports that Musk’s cronies are targeting NOAA — infiltrating key systems and locking out career employees.
NOAA is vital for weather forecasting, scientific research and more. Their critical work saves lives.
My team and I are looking into this and we will not stand for it.

Also, even a temporary or partial interruption in NOAA/NWS 24/7 lifesaving services--which are often used in an hour-by-hour (even minute-by-minute) context--would have this effect. The NWS is a critical public utility and it would be extremely difficult to rebuild if torn down.
